my name.

my name is Jacie, which is a diminutive of jacqueline, which is a diminutive of jacques, which is a diminutive of jacob. thats a lot of diminutives. but Jacob was in the old testament and was later called Israel. he was the son of Isaac and Rebecca and the father of the twelve founders of the twelve tribes of Israel, which is pretty cool. Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name means..holder of the heel or supplanter. i never knew my name meant that, its pretty cool. my name is a feminine name, good thing, and its English.

if i were a car..

if i was a type of car i would be a..mustang. i like mustangs. id either be a bright yellow one or a charcoal color one because those colors are my favorite on mustangs. plus the word mustang reminds me of horses, and i like horses. mustangs are sweet cars though, except my dad always tells me how bad they are to drive in the winter on the bad roads, so i just want to move to florida and get a convertible one. thatd be so exciting. i would never have to worry about driving on bad roads and it would always be warm :]

nature vs nurture

They both obviously shape who we are, but I think nurture shapes us more. We each have our own personality but a lot of it is shaped by how our parents raised us. Not all of it is, but I think a lot of it is. My mom and dad taught me so many good things when I was little and they still teach me good things today, so now I can make good choices and be a better person. Nature has changed me as I grew up, but my parents taught me the things I know and shaped my personality.

a star is born

If I was in a movie, I would want it to be a love story movie. I love movies like A Walk to Remember and A Cinderella Story, they are so sad but then cute. I would want Channing Tatum to be in the movie with me because he is so cute and I love him. Most girls like romantic movies, so I think that a lot of them would like this too and then I would be famous, which might be fun for awhile. Also, me and Channing Tatum would probably become good friends, which would be so cool.

Halloween!

My favorite Halloween costume was when I was a Dalmatian. It was so fun! I was like 7 years old and I was so cute. My mom painted some black polkadots on my face and I had this polkadotted puppy costume with big ears and a long tail. Its always the most fun to go to my grandma’s house because she gives us the most candy ever! Also my neighbors give us a lot of candy too. When we would go up to get candy at peoples houses, my dad always hid in places and jumped out and scared us. It was so fun! I love Halloween.

Week 1- music.

A lot of the music I listen to today is about love. I noticed that the other day, usually the songs on 101.5 are about love anyways, and country stations too. I do not like really old music, like what was listened to in my mom’s generation, so I wonder if when I grow up, the music were listening to right now will not be good anymore and there will be new kinds of music. Everyone likes different music though, so I don’t really know which type defines our generation. I like all music except oldies and opera, and weird stuff like that..and screaming stuff.

setback- week 6

I’ve had some setbacks in my life. For example, when I found out my mom had cancer I was really, really upset, and I still am but I’ve learned a lot of stuff from it to. I’ve learned that you have to stay strong and realize that God has a plan for everything. I learned to not take anything for granted. Also, whenever I feel like I’m having a really bad day, I try to think about how to could be worse, so I should be happy. I obviously didn’t want to ever hear that my mom had cancer, but I’ve learned things from it too and it has helped me to be a stronger person.
