This blog post focuses on my Twitter: the process, the genres, the questions, the uneasiness. That basically sums up the entirety of this post.

In class, I had an "Ah-Ha" moment as some may call it. We were discussing the content of our Twitterive and what it should be about. I sat in my chair and it hit me. My place is my dance studio. After I got that in my head, the ideas just started flowing. I wanted to do this and then that and then a little of this. My opportunities were endless. The first week I went to dance with my idea in mind, I took pictures throughout the night. I also had one of my fellow dancers let me use the photos she had taken throughout the past few years. I had plans of taking videos the following week and making a video encompassing all of the dances and exercises. However, that Tuesday night (when I would have had dance, also Valentine's Day), my brother got into a car accident. I went into sister mode and drove like a mad person to the emergency room. He was fine, just shaken up from the airbag. Consequently, I could not videotape dance because I was not there. Bummer. However, I found other modes and genres to incorporate which worked out well. The same night I took photographs, I had the girls sign waivers so I could put pictures and videos online. Also, I had them write one word that symbolized the dance studio for them. I thought this was a unique touch to add (my Wordle).
I'm not going to lie, I procrastinate. I have some more plans. I want to do a video of me speaking rather than writing (especially since my wedding video was such fun). I want to see how my peers think this will work. I like feedback, lots of it! I hate when I get feedback like "That was great, just check the spelling of this word." NO! That doesn't work. Tell me it sucks and I should try this or that. Don't be afraid. I don't bite and won't cry.
Twitter helped me to record my feelings in the now. It's hard to know look back on feelings. Having a mode, such as Twitter, helped me to look back on how I felt at a certain time. The emotions revisited me when I revisitied the tweets.

After reading my Twitterive,
1. Are there enough modes?
2. Do you understand why I chose my dance studio? Like, do you understand how I feel when I am there?
3. Can I leave the finale with the slideshow?
4. I want to do a video of myself discussing how dance has helped me to accept my Tourette's Syndrome. Would this work better than writing? Why?
5. Is my Twitterive cohesive? Do I stay on the same topic I want to be on?
