  4. A moth? Why would I choose to represent myself as a moth? Several reasons. For a while now, I’ve associated myself with butterflies. I’ve worked a lot with them in my photography as well as my traditional work. I love their beauty; I love their symbol of change and growth. But more than that, they eventually became a very personal symbol to me. Butterflies, to me, are my sense of creativity, they are my freedom, and they represent my artistic voice and my drive. They are my inspiration and my muse. So, when I was brainstorming and telling my amazing boyfriend to tell me what I should do, he mentioned my butterflies. And I thought about it. It would work, but it needed a bit of change. Moths have the same symbolic meaning as butterflies, but a bit different. They fly in the night, they are…darker in a way. While I embrace life (or try) and the beauty that comes with it, my emotions and personality are not as bubbly and bright as butterflies often show up to be. I am a self proclaimed pessimist. A moth is a creature every searching for something, ever seeking the light (knowledge, perhaps).

  5. Person: J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series. Place: A comfy, quiet, techie bedroom I could live in forever! Thing: A magnet that proclaims, “Family Matters.” Event: P.A.X. – an annual technology, gaming, and net-comic event Extra: A poster of Disney’s original Peter Pan cartoon motion picture

  6. Ms. C’s Symbolic Self Portrait • Person: J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series. Tolkien inspired my love of the fantasy genre and elves. I admire his creativity, family values, and knowledge of language and culture. • Place: A comfy, quiet, techie bedroom I could live in forever! I love to sleep in late. I love big fluffy pillows and heavy, squishy blankets. I love dim rooms with big TVs and big windows with heavy drapes. This room is perfect! • Thing: A magnet that proclaims, “Family Matters.” Simply, family is the most important thing in life; they come first and are always influential in my life. I also live with the Japanese acknowledgement that anyone close to you, who influences and loves you, and you them, are also your family…extended, but more than just a friend. • Event: P.A.X. – an annual technology, gaming, and net-comic event. This event captures so much of what I value and invest my time in daily. It involves new technologies being created and used, as well as all sorts of hobbies and games that I play with friends and on my own. It also presents a counterpoint; something I hate: crowds. • Extra: A poster of Disney’s original Peter Pan cartoon motion picture. This character and story was my favorite as a child, and remains one of my favorites as an adult. I fully encourage the idea that Peter Pan represents, which is no never completely grow up. Wendy always kept a piece of herself attached to Peter and her time in Neverland. I agree with J.M. Barrie (and Charlie Todd) that adults should always keep some fun in their lives!
