Writing: Workshop (Exercise 9)
Writing: Exercise 9 – You to a stranger
This Exercise is easy, and can be great fun. All you have to do is write about yourself to a complete stranger. Not a job resume, but explain everything about you, from looks, to likes/dislikes, hobbies and romances, pets and even clothes you like wearing.
Try to be as honest as you can, and construct your exercise as if you are writing a description about a character in a book, but don’t be afraid to cram masses of information in a short piece of writing, and, unlike a book, write about emotional likes and dislikes as well as past romances, maybe something you wouldn’t find out about a person right away.
This Exercise can be any size, just ensure you get as much about yourself as you can in.

Re: Writing: Workshop (Exercise 9)
this is my first try kev, i'll do another one shortly
Well this is Julie speaking I guess I should let you know more about me besides my name.
I was born in a rainy day of April, precisely on the 28th day, year 1978, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, South America, Earth, though sometimes I wonder if this last location is an actual location or I have been deceived since my birth in Mars.
I’m 5 ft 7in tall, all brown, eyes and hair, and as for the weight I really don’t know as I’m thinner everyday, maybe I should start being more sedentary. My house is full of joy and excitement and mess and dirt, since I have 4 dogs and one child. It used to be worse when I had 6 dogs, a cat and a turtle, BUT 2 dogs are gone, the cat had to be given or it would be a nice meal for the dogs, and the turtle, well, the turtle…I’ve committed a crime letting him take too much sun and he was fried. From this day on people started saying I’m supernatural for making them see a turtle dead, when they’re supposed to live for more than 100 years…Now forgetting about the day I fried Donatello, I’m always caring for animals, whoever they are. Can’t kill ants, nor any kind of insect after watching ‘A bug’s life’ mainly. When a mouse comes here, I try to make him runaway safely before my Uruk-Hai Dogs see him…I never refer to animals as ‘it’, as you probably noticed, they all have a sex, except for the periwinkles and the earthworms but I always try to discover which sex they like to be called and stuff.
Finishing my zoo-love story, I love other messy and rebellious specie called children and I don’t know why but they love me as well…maybe because it’s difficult to find someone so easily deceived. And someone they can make-up as clowns or Orcs or anything they want to. Luckily my 3 year-old boy hasn’t discovered his make-up talents. I’ll probably be an easier prey for my own child and he might even try to make me sit and bark as a dog … hey, he did it a few weeks ago, now he is asking me when I’ll be Ugluk again to get killed by Legolas in his own Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
As for my character and mood, I’m a very easy going person and only in extreme situations I can lose my temper, I forgot about the last time it had happened, by the way.
But I need to warn you, my extreme situations aren’t so predictable I can be mad if someone yells with my dogs and stay very calm if they call me bad names. I’m often cool and nice, this is what people say, because I do think I’m nervous and anxious. I’m also hyperactive, that’s for sure, I can’t focus on one single activity guess it’s not a problem at all when you have to do lots of activities a day but when I do need to focus that’s a long story…
Studies have been always a nice activity for me as well as sports, so I can be called a sportive nerd, that’s ok for me.
Regarding some things that I hate, a few things known as lies, envy and greed, 3 basic ingredients for anger and war. I forgive people rather easily which I never regret but I wish I could never forget so I wouldn’t be hurt again. However I also tend to forget things easily so that’s a trouble.
Concerning the odd issue men, I guess I was in love twice in my whole life, and I’m in my second fallen right now, hehe. Never enjoyed the way men approached so it was hard to make me fall for them, I really despised many, but when we finally meet someone who thinks like you then it’s easier to be defeated. This male specie is very appreciated as friends for me besides their breeding aspect. I’m very jealous and possessive but I’m a good actress as well so I manage to hide it nicely.
I’m always laughing too, and that’s why some people tend to think I’m stupid but actually I don’t care as long as I know who is in charge of the situation and it’s always good the be the last one to laugh.
Hence I honestly don’t wish to make my worst enemy see me angry, it’s a hard task but it can be achieved for the most talented warriors.
That’s pretty much myself, more much than pretty I guess.

Re: Writing: Workshop (Exercise 9)
My name is Emelinda Marie Smith. Never ever call me 'Emelinda'. You may call me Melinda or Min. I have just reached my 50th year, and not aging gracefully. I have never been considered beautiful, maybe pretty, but mostly 'cute'. When I look in a mirror, I see myself as ugly. I am 5'4 and my weight is no longer maintained at 110 pounds. Being of mixed heritage, my mother filipina and father white, I have lightly brown skin that can tan very darkly, very quickly. My hair is thin and baby fine, dark brown with natural cinnamon highlights (lately I can say I also have now have silver highlights!) My hair is past shoulder length and I generally keep it in a pony tail or twisted in a bun so that it is out of my face. My eyes are as dark brown as my hair. There are a few scattered freckles sprinkled across the bridge of my nose and across my cheeks. I have a tiny set of lips, but a voice that gets carried away in volume when I am angry or excited. My best physical asset are my legs.
I love to read and write. I enjoy most music, and often embarrass family members by singing or dancing in public when a favorite song plays. When it comes to watching television I prefer comedies, movies, the History/Discovery channels, and enjoy detective/crime series. But I cannot just sit and watch tv, I have to be doing something else as well. I love the internet for meeting people, writing, and researching. I also enjoy adventure computer games best, but also like other puzzle type games as well as Sims 2. I dabble in drawing, coloring, paint shop pro, crochet blankets, & playing organ and guitar.
I love animals. My favorite animal is the cat. My pet name is kitten, mostly because I like to play and tease and very catlike by nature (hence the internet nickname kit10ish). I am a country girl at heart and only like to go to a city to shop. I prefer to go anywhere outdoors in nature. My favorite spot in nature is the woods and the mountains, then the beach. My favorite color is blue, but also like black, pink, and purple. My favorite hot drink is a HUGE cup of coffee. I am a coffeeholic. For something cold to drink I prefer iced tea to quench my thirst. I rarely drink alcohol because it does not agree with me. After a glass and a half of something with alcohol my face gets numb. Anything more than that, I am sick for days.
Personality-wise, I am honest and open. My face always shows what I feel, so I am not a very good liar. I am a born nurturer, a mother hen, and have been 'Dear Abby' to most people I've met, as a little girl even adults would come to me to talk. I am curious about everything and everybody. I love to learn and consider myself a lifelong student.
My biggest pet peeves would be dishonesty and prejudice. Trust and loyalty is important to me. As for politics, sometimes I think I might be an anarchist because all forms of government have left me wholly disillusioned. Violence upsets me. I tend to see major problems which have such simple solutions and yet Mankind continues to fail far below the mark.
Relationships, well, I am full of love and care, yet have been extremely unlucky in love (until recently). My first marriage was to a military man, intellegent, talented and Van Damme he's fine. Problem was he knew it, as well as all the other women in his life. I'm not good at sharing 'my man'. After 12 years of his philandering, I made the decision that I was not 'enough' for him and he didn't love me enough, so I left. We have one daughter together and an adopted daughter. Hubby # 2 turned out to be an alcoholic. After six years of marriage, he became abusive. We have one son together. NO ONE hits me or my child! So, I put an end to that situation. My third, and last hubby I met online. I joined him in Australia 9 years ago, almost 10 years. He is loving, caring, intelligent and the best father a child could have. Need I say I am finally happy?
My original family believe me to be outgoing, easy to make friends. I find myself a bit shy around new people. I don't like crowds and do better with small groups. My shyness has been misconstrued as being snobby. I feel my shyness, and my avoidance at going out to make new friends, stems from walls of protection. It's a very white world out there. I've had to endure quite a bit of prejudice. So my walls protect me from getting hurt again and again.
I can get lost for hours delving into ancient religions, archaeology, and genealogy. Being a military brat, I am fascinated about other cultures.
Now I feel I am going round in circles, rambling on and on about myself. There is probably much more to say, but it would be easier if I was asked questions.
