Character Devolpment

Okay, so i feel that i need to post something....it's been a while after all. My two followers must be wondering what's wrong with me :) so, i'm about to do a character development fourteen question thing. ENJOY!

1. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?
Hey, I'm Chloe Anne Knight. I go by Chloe, though I suppose you could call me Anne, I just won't answer.

2. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?
No nicknames for me. It's kind of hard to find something normal to call me....

3. What do you look like? (Include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, apparent age, and distinguishing features)
I am 5'7" at about 135 pounds. I've been told i'm beautiful, but i don' t believe them. My hair color is naturally blond, but I wasn't a fan of how white it looked in the sun, so I died it brunette. My eyes are blue, but I've been told they look green on occasion. Currently, I'm tan, but only because I just moved from Florida. It won't take long for the Chicago rain to bleach me back to...normal. My age is 17 and i've heard it's a good age to be, so i'm hoping i won't grow up anytime soon. As for distinguishing features, I have none. My mother has kept me pretty well protected most of my life so I never had time to go explore and earn a few battle scars.

4. How do you dress most of the time?
Jeans and a nice shirt. Nothing too fancy.

5. How do you "dress up?"
Only on occasion will i ever put on a dress, but that's how i would "dress up."

6. How do you "dress down?"
A tank top...

7. What do you wear when you go to sleep?
Girl boxers and a tank top. Sometimes if it gets cold enough i put sweats on, but that rarely happens.

8. Do you wear any jewelry?
Yes. A necklace that my father gave to me. It's a long chain with a medium sized clear-blue stone. I never take it of.

9. In your opinion, what is your best feature?
My eyebrows. I can do a lot with them.

10. What's your real birth date?
May 10

11. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?
I just moved to Chicago, so i'm not really used to my home. It's normal, i suppose, with windows and a door. The lock on the back one always gets stuck, but that's nothing a good kick won't fix. The walls are painted warm oranges, yellows, and blues. The carpet is brown and comfortable enough to sleep on. My mother always makes sure the house is clean, so my house is the place to be when i hang out with friends.

12. Do you own a car? Describe it.
I wish. But if i did it would be something small. Anything affordable would be great, too.

13. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?
My father's necklace. When i was born he died. I don't know why though, my mother always gets a really sad look whenever i mention him, so i tend to leave it be. The mystery leaves room for my creativity to spill out. I always imagine my dad dying in honor.

14. What one word best describes you?
Um...casual

TRON: LEGACY

Ever heard of a movie called Tron? I have. From Kingdom Hearts 2, Sora is zapped into the technological world where he must defeat the MCP in order to return the world back to it's original state. Tron is the name of the program who helps you out. I'm not sure what Tron from the 80's was about, but the modern one from 2010, titled Tron: Legacy, is by far one of my favorite movies of all time.

Remember how it felt when you watched Avatar for the first time? The amazement you felt by every detail that this strange planet showed you? Tron gives you the same feeling, only this time you can actually relate. I've grown up in a world that has technological advancements every year. This fact makes me believe that one day Tron might actually be possible.

Trailer:


This movie blew my mind, and i highly recommend it to anyone who holds a small fracture of imagination inside of themselves. Please go watch it. Before i sign out i must give credit to the 80's Tron. It was created to inspire technological advancement and give hope to those humans who didn't believe technology could advance as far as it has today. Way to go! I applaud you:) See ya.

Oranges^2

A couple days have passed since i've written.....okay, maybe more like a week, but i'm going to try and make up for everything with this post. It will most likely be a lame post, but stay with me for as long as you can. Okay, so Christmas Break began yesterday, technically. Yay no school! That's always good news. And for the break i decided to do something worth my time. Guess what i chose to do? Read this book:


and let me tell you I LOVE IT!!! Actually, i've already finished it and am reading the second one: LIKE A FIRE IS BURNING. The characters are indescribable and real. "PILLAR OF LIGHT begins the saga of the Benjamin Steed family, who, in the fall of 1826, move from Vermont to Palmyra Township in upstate New York in search of better farmland. Almost immediately they meet a young man named Joseph Smith and are thrown into the maelstrom of controversy that swirls around him. Is he deluded farm boy or prophet of God? Does he commune with angels or consort with devils? The answers to those questions - intensely personal, bitterly divisive - will profoundly affect the lives of the Steeds and many others. From the frontiers of early America to the complexities of the last half of the twentieth century, THE WORK AND THE GLORY series chronicles the triumphs and tragedies of one family caught up in the events of the Restoration" (thank you barnes&noble for that great description).

My favorite character is Benjamin Steed. He is....indescribable. I don't know what to say. You'll have to read the book. Nathan, his son, is number 2 on my list of favorites. Please just read it, it will change your life. Okay, maybe not that much, but it is a good read. I love how they describe Joseph as a normal farmer instead of some amazing prophet. I mean, yes, he's both, but when i think "prophet" my impression is a serious man in a black suit, probably in the later years of his life, who acts as a perfect example of Christ for us followers. You know you do, too. This book puts a different perspective in your head.

Other than reading i've also been watching Friends a lot. I'm up to season 5, and i will say that i'm proud of that fact :) which is sad. Since the break just began, i should probably be finding other activities to be doing, say, hanging out with the friends i've neglected for a while. Truth be told, i want to hang out with them, girl and guy, but i just don't understand how i can be good company. I don't talk. I say dumb things that don't even make sense. Honestly, how am i going to find a husband when i can't put myself out there?? Such a sad life i lead...

Umm....yeah, my antisocial-ness is showing and i don't know what to say. So i'll close this post and go back to watching Friends. See ya.

Short

Short post. Don't really wanna post. Been about a week since last post. English. Guitar. History. Finals. Ugh. Posting for followers. Song for guitar called "Save the Last Dance for Me" by Michael Buble. Found out he's really young. Not old like i thought. Go watch music video. Buble=attractive...in a way.

Tired.

Been watching Friends most of my day. Just got back from Wendy's for dinner. Feeling fat.... and tired. Already mentioned that. Bah no one cares, right? You do. You are lame. Go away. I don't want you viewing my posts.

Kinda been thinking about writing my story and posting it on here. Maybe, if i feel like it....which i have been. I'm lame. Should not view this post. Whatever. Do you think glasses are attractive? I don't. Not on me. On the right guy. YES. Then they mess up the look with a weird shirt. Or hair. Bah they annoy me.

My boy troubles are slowly solving. I almost had a real conversation with my crush. Let's call him "Luke". Love that name:) or Matthew. Yeah, done with this posting. Hope i entertained you. See ya.

Poetry

This laptop that i've been permitted to use is amazing! I spend most of my day on it watching Friends or Facebooking....i should probably find something healthy to do, but why should i? Oh, wait. Maybe because if i continue on this path i will become a big, lazy fat women who little kids laugh at. Does that seem like a good enough reason? Sadly, even that is not enough to get me moving. Although, yesterday i went to the PG rec center with Natalie and Tori. It was so much fun! We ran around the track, and ended the day talking about boys. I must say that Tori is amazing when it comes to boy trouble. She not only had me convinced that the best thing to do was to tell my crush i liked him, but also made it seem like i wouldn't lose my friendship with him. How amazing is that?

Also something i did yesterday: i got my hair cut. Now before you flip out you must realize that it looks exactly the same as it did before. My bangs are just shorter. Now instead of a huge strand falling in front of my face i have to worry about a little tuft of hair going against the rules of gravity. It's really fun... really fun. I was being sarcastic. Alex created an emoticon that means "sarcastic" but i can't remember. I think it went something like "-" and now everyone who reads this should use it. Or i guess you could continue using italics but really, that's lame. Actually, i think it's really creative :P

Okay, so today i had a really bad day. Mostly dealing with boy troubles. So when i came home i sat at my laptop, turned on Friends, and started writing sad poems. They will be posted below. Honestly, i don't know how bad they are or how good, so don't make fun. They're actually very personal. If you have a comment please make it along the lines of, "that's awesome!" or "what do you mean it's bad? They sound great." I would appreciate that greatly.

Clueless

To the boy who does not know
--with the contagious laugh
How my heart aches for you so
--with the deep gaze of a hawk

In what way will you find

--the maturity of an adult
My love for you that i hide
--always knows what to say
I can not stand still when you're around
--my comforter and my helper
Oh, why can't i just speak
--you have no idea--

My Last Resort

Poetry helps express ones love
--in ways i do not know
I can not write a decent poem
--so i'll let my pencil flow
I hate it when you see someone
--that makes your heart go thump--!
And all you want to do is spill your soul.

At times i feel that God is testing
--how long my patience will last
I want so badly to be loved
--and not blasted down like a mast
Hopefully i can keep these tears inside
--or else my heart will grow cold.

Yeah, so again as a reminder these were made from my frustration and heart-love pain. Don't judge me or my poetry. I will end on that note. See ya.

Posting

So, i had this huge paragraph typed out about that weird Egyptian looking font that everyone knows about....but then i realized that i didn't really know what i was talking about, so i deleted the whole thing and decided to tell you what i'd originally typed. Kind of stupid, yes i know, but oh well. Unless you haven't noticed, i've been playing with the fonts available on this website posting service. Don't let it bug you because it bugs me.

So i guess i'll put nothing on here, because nothing exciting happened. Okay, yes, one exciting thing happened. Today was the last day of the semester for my concurrent enrollment classes :) YAY! No more school....for college. Actually, i have a test next Wednesday for History2700 and my Communications1050 class is online and running until Wednesday. Pretty much, i have a week, which i will hopefully use to study (not probable).

Yeah, i have nothing to put. I've been moping around all day doing nothing. No thing. I wrote my last assignment for Communications, watched Friends while texting Brock, and practiced my guitar. That's been my day. So, yeah. Death to my life. I am now undead. Fear me. See ya.

Christmas Recital

I can't think of anything witty or cool to put at the beginning, so i'm just going to go right into my day. I definitely went to bed way to late last night (11:48PM) because i almost fell asleep in my school History class. Mr Fish played a video about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War and i decided to lay my head down and just close my eyes and listen. Well, it kind of worked.... I'm not sure how to explain it, but it was like my hearing became heightened and everything was in super-sensitive mode, and yet i didn't understand a thing. I must have been in one of those half-awake situations because iT wAs WeIrD.

Right after History i had PreCal. And today was a special day. Today was test day... let me tell you how i do when taking tests. Imagine being someone who understands everything pretty well. When you're at home studying all the answers come to you without even trying. Easy. Then a paper labeled "Exam #6" gets plopped in front of you. Suddenly, all that understanding and knowledge gets shot out of the sky like pigeons. How do you fare now? That's pretty much my life when it comes to tests. All things considered, i feel like i didn't fail, which is a huge step up. Keep your fingers crossed :)

My day was meh all the rest of the day, until 4:30PM hit. Slowly, i slid into my silver dress that i wore last year to Preference (below) and along with my mother and father, left down to Best of Music for my voice recital. Honestly, i was kind of nervous, but nothing huge. I love to sing, and i love sharing music, so the whole experience wasn't so bad. Until i stepped up and started to sing my song: Angels We Have Heard On High. Suddenly, my stomach started to flip and my knees turned to jell-o. BUT i persevered and made it through the song, jackhammer knees going the whole time :) Way to go me! It actually got a lot easier after i started. Go with the flow...

Preference Dress
(sorry i'm not wearing it)

I actually put on eyeliner.
Can you tell?

My parents dragged me to Costco after that, but not before taking me out to get whatever i wanted. I chose to go to Arctic Circle and i bought an Oreo Fudge Shake, fried, and a corndog. Haha it was actually really good. I didn't know until that moment how much i'd been craving a batter fries dog. Mmm-mm. Anyway, that was my day. Simple and all that jazz. For those of you in my ward who didn't listen to me sing today, you'll get to hear me at church on December 19. Yeah, see ya.
