I feel as if all of these pictures describe me well. There’s a variety of different items on here that many may be surprised to see are for me. For instance, I’m a huge geek for the paranormal, so on the poster I put the “Ghost Adventures Crew” and a card from “Kansas City Paranormal”. “Kansas City Paranormal” is a ghost hunting team that I went on a ghost hunt with last October. I’m easily amazed by the paranormal and am a firm believer in ghosts and spirits. Along with the paranormal, I like anything and everything scary. On the poster to show for this I put a collection of scary movies and a picture of “The Beast”. I like the feeling of being scared and the suspense it brings to people. Also on the poster are animals. The animals are there …show more content…

“The Walking Dead” is my favorite TV show. Every Sunday night at eight o’clock from October through March I am on my couch wrapped up in a blanket ready to watch the next show. I haven’t missed a show yet since the show began in 2010. You could say I am a little bit obsessed with it! Along with the TV show I have an obsession with zombies. Not zombie movies, but the idea of zombies possibly being able to happen. Another picture is of fireworks and the American flag. That is to symbolize the Fourth of July because it is my favorite holiday. My favorite part is getting to set off fireworks, but being able to meet up with family is also a great reason as to why it is my favorite holiday. My family enjoys going camping and watching a fireworks show, which is what we have done for the past few years now. Now we have gotten to the bits and pieces about me. My favorite foods are Chinese and grilled chicken. To represent Chinese food I put a take out box and chopsticks and I have a piece of grilled chicken laid out on the poster as well. The reason there is a Bass Pro logo is because I am a cashier there and an explanation for the number thirteen is that it is my lucky

  • My Zombie Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead Analysis

    Zombies have become very popular due to their depictions of being easy to kill and being communal. Zombie apocalypses are also very relatable due to the fact that they are set in lives similar to our society and seem easy to overcome. Zombies, themselves, can be identified with because we see ourselves when we look at a zombie. Zombies drudge on through the same task of finding human flesh to consume every day just like we drag ourselves to either class or our job in order to sit through another boring lecture or perform the same menial task every day. Just like the zombie, R, in the book, Warm Bodies, said, “I am Dead, but it’s not so bad. I’ve learned to live with it,” we have learned to succumb to our daily routines and just live with

  • Introspection Of Myself Essay

    906 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introspection of oneself could be interesting and moderately to an extent challenging to put into words. There are many factors that influences who we are as an individual or as a part of a group. Generally speaking I believe we all wear several masks that portray us in different ways according to our settings and who we are around. Ever since I was able to get allowances and old enough to work, I invested in cameras in order to capture the various aspects of my life. I always thought I would reflect back on them to describe the moments, where I was in my life and my views during those moments. I could describe myself as many things; an outgoing, shy, caring, loyal, trustworthy, kind, an altruistic and conscientious person and etc. These are the ways I view myself, while others might have a different prospective of me. Gazing through the six pictures of myself reflects my perceived self-control, self-concept and self-presentation at the different stages within my life.
