Entry #4 - The Truth About Introverts

Everyone seems to put these labels on introverts. They assume that we want to be alone because we hate people or because we are just sad. I'm here to tell you that this isn't the case. We introverts don't spend time alone because we hate people. We actually enjoy socializing with other people. It can just be a bit exhausting. Watch the video below and you'll understand what I mean.
As stated in the video, extroverts thrive on the company of others. For me, all I need is my laptop or a good song to be content. Being lonely and being alone have two completely different meanings. Just because we don't have people around doesn't mean we are sad. And when we do go out we enjoy socializing. Having to communicate with too many people at once can be a bit much though. There are many things we introverts want you to know. This video explains a little bit about how we feel.
"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating." To me, truer words haven't been spoken. So tell me... Have I changed the way you think about introverts?

Entry #3 - Earth And Technology


We use technology every day. For most people, this means using a cell phone to send a text or a opening laptop to surf the internet. But for others, using technology means helping to shape the world. Technology is more than just iPhones and HP laptops. It's everything we use in our daily lives. Our futures will be impacted greatly by technology and its use. How do you think the world will look in the future? 





Will Earth be desolate and destroyed? 











Or will Earth flourish with everlasting life?







I personally hope for the "Customized Lifestyles Scenario". Consumers will become producers and we will be the new Ethos for society. A world characterized by diversity. We should all have some take on what we want Earth to look like in the future, right? I mean, who isn't curious about something like that?

I hope the video I shared got you thinking. Earth is ever advancing because of technology. Our world will someday be drastically changed by it. What do you hope for the future?

Entry #2 - The Thing About Short Hair

So I'm sure there are other girls out there who feel the same way I do about having short hair. It can be intense at times and then not so intense other times. Let's face it, having short hair can be great, with the occasional epicness of waking up some mornings and having it look one-hundred percent perfect, or sliding into the bathroom and being able to do a million and one things with it. But sometimes, short hair is not so great. We've all been there, right? You wake up sometimes and your hair is sticking out in every direction, or people come up from behind to talk to you not realizing that you're actually a female.

I decided to cut my hair short in 2011 because I was tired of having long hair. My hair was super thick and extended all the way down to my hips and had been that way for many years. I wanted something different, so my father took me to Walmart and I had them chop it all off. - It may seem weird to go there for a haircut but it's the only place in town that's was able to cut my hair the way I wanted it with no trouble. - I've had short hair ever since that day. 


The video 12 Things Short Haired Girls Know To Be True by BuzzFeed Yellow - posted above - truly defines most of my thoughts when it comes to short hair. I however, never mastered the art of bobby pins. I'm not exactly sure what it is that I would need them for. I barely have any hair to pin back anyway. There are always times when I miss my long hair, but I don't plan on growing my hair out any time soon. For some reason, I feel as though having short hair is perfect for me. It defines who I am as a person. Besides, everyone has a defining factor, right?

Entry #1 - You Want My Opinion?

How do I feel about blogs? To be perfectly honest, every blog is special to someone out here. Whether it be a personal blog or a professional blog, someone, somewhere enjoys looking through it. And plus, someone took time out of their life to make that blog and post things in it. Why should I criticize something someone put time into?

---                             

Here are just a few of the blogs I have read through and enjoyed.




The blog Mind Blowing Science is incredibly insightful if you like science as much as I do. I am following them on tumblr and it is interesting to see something new from the science world on my dashboard every time I open up tumblr. 




                                                                                                                 
 
The blog Texts From Kingdom Hearts is entertaining if you like Kingdom Hearts and extremely random head cannons. This blog in particular interests me because they accept requests from fans for their "text messages" between each character in Kingdom Hearts.








KHInsider is the most popular Kingdom Hearts blog on the internet. They share any and all information on Kingdom Hearts including - but not limited to - release dates, fan art, and information on collectibles.



I love going through all the different types of blogs and seeing what each one talks about. Every blog is unique in it's own way. Just like humans are all unique, right?

Introduction

Hello. My name is Carina Spann but I prefer to be called Rin. I have other blogs aside from this one on tumblr, so it's going to take time for me to adjust to the layout and style of Blogger. My other blogs are casual, fandom blogs for the Kingdom Hearts video game series. 

Here is a link to my main blog: xTheEternalFlamex






If you don't take interest in Kingdom Hearts you probably won't like this blog but it's still there for anyone interested. xTheEternalFlamex features Organization XIII's number VIII, Axel, who I have provided a picture of on the left. 


"I want everybody I meet to remember me. Inside people's memories, I can live forever."
         - Lea, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep




My other blog on tumblr features Organization XIII's number VII, SaÏx, who is to the right. This blog, however, is still under construction, and therefore, will not have a link provided.


"True, we don't have hearts, but we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special."
           - SaÏx, Kingdom Hearts II

My main interest is in music composition and I write anything from orchestral to dubstep music and have been doing so for about five years. I have also been playing violin for around eight years. Aside from spending time on my music, I watch anime such as Black Butler and Hakuoki or I play video games like Kingdom Hearts or Borderlands.

After finishing my core classes here at GCC, I hope to transfer to either the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona or Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona depending on what I choose to major in. I'm more than likely going to get a degree in Biomedical Technology to make robotic prosthetics, but I'm still unsure. At least I have a decent amount of time to decide.
