The affordnaces of Imessage

Imessage has multiple affordances; one of them being that all the messages both sent and received are permanent, unless you decide to delete them for whatever reason. Also you can send pictures and voice notes as well for free. However, in order to do so, you must have either internet (3G or 4G) or WiFi, otherwise it will cost you. Another advantage of imessage is that you can turn on read receipts so the other person knows if you've seen their message or you can turn it off, which is good because you can ignore people and they don't even know! Some disadvantages of imessage are that sometimes they send as text for no reason which can cost you and is just inconvenient.

Analysis of conversation

Sophie: the bottom of the E? is it where the bottom of the E starts or the/
Isabel: the top of the E starts uh we're gonna do a big (.) uh (.) same size as the E (.) eight
Sophie: the letter eight?
Isabel: yeah
Sophie [laughs] i mean the number eight
Isabel: [laughs] the number eight yeah (3) right (.) and then once you've done the number eight (.) you do two circles inside so its like a bubble eight (4) okay (2) and then (.) same width apart that you did the eight and the E (.) backwards E obviously (.) we're gonna do a big X

Throughout the conversation, there is a lot of colloquialism used, due to the fact we are friends so therefore talk informally to each other. Fillers are also present in the conversation and utterances such as 'uh' which breaks up the speech and allows Isabel to think about what to say next. Pauses also give her time to think of how to describe the next shape, the pauses show that it's spontaneous speech. We also used elision which is when we slurred our syllables together and said 'gonna' instead of going to, we say this as it's easier than saying two words.

Dried Humour

Dried Humour

Jane was sat on a date.
The sun was shining.
"I love picnics" Jane said aloud, the aroma of fresh cut grass strong in the air.
She began to feel slightly uncomfortable, risen from her seat, to her astonishment, she caught
a glimpse of the pulverised raisin In her presence.

Gods among us #3 CLOONEY

Gods among us #3 CLOONEY

A star so bright and hot, he makes the sun look like a minute match spark. God bless George Clooney. By Sophie Cranmer

Who knew there was evidence of a real god. 53 years ago, the second coming of Jesus happened in the form of a small boy named George Timothy Clooney. For his impeccable acting talent, he has received 3 Golden Globe Awards and 2 Oscars (2 more than Leonardo DiCaprio). Even though he may be growing older his charisma will remain forever young. Although teenage heart throbs, such as Zac Efron may be famous for their 5 minutes of fame in cheesy musicals , George Clooney is busy defying gravity and partaking in wars against mobsters--a lot more advanced than Zac could ever dream of.

George has come a long way since his bespowed iconic films such as Spy Kids and the blockbuster Oceans Twelve. Starring in 51 movies; each of which a variety of genres, his most recents being Gravity, The Monument Men and more famously The Ides of March (alongside Ryan Gosling, although we both know who really shone).

More recently, I have never felt jealously as strongly as I have In the month of October 2014 as I watched on as George married a profound British-Lebanese lawyer--Amal. He will remain timeless and a god of the acting world. Amen.

Hula hooping article

If you want a slim waist, forget the running, forget the gym, forget the diet, just purchase yourself a hula hoop.
I decided to try out a hula hoop and i can honestly say that i wouldn't look back.

The Guardian, Tuesday 30th September 2014 17:00 BST

The other day I decided to sit down for once in my life and actually relax and watch TV. How very stupid I was. My mind was opened up to a whole new world of excersize, a world that I'm not too keen on might I add. It's all too much hard work for me, its ridiculous how much some people spend just to get a flat stomach now a days. What happened to a good old fashioned run? I mean its free is that not enough?

But then I was shown a fairly cheap alternative to get me a slimmer waist. Hula hooping. I know you  may be thinking I'm insane or stupid, maybe even both, but this honestly works better than running, not that I've ever given that the light of day.  I purchased a hula hoop the next day, £4.00 from Tesco. Bargain. It has water in so its slightly heavier than most but that means that it works better, well, that's my logic anyway. It's perfect, you don't even have to set foot outside the comfort of your own home, you can do it whilst listening to music, watching the TV or eating.

Don't get me wrong I'm not slating my body, i've never hated it, but I've just had enough really. It's always in the media about being skinnier, having big boobs with a big bum but a tiny waist at the same time. I don't think people understand how difficult that actually is. The hula hoop however really works, I'd like to think my body now looks a bit like Kim Kardashian's not that anyone would agree, but going by the fact my body shape used to resemble that of Gemma's off of TOWIE, anythings an improvement.

Plus, Beyonce swears by hula hooping which is why she is known for having a curvaceous body but with a tiny waist. If she could hula hoop then so could I. In all honesty the last time I picked up one of the pissing things I was probably about 5, but never the less I gave it a shot and i wouldn't look back. The pounds are literally dropping off my waist, I think I'd even go as far as saying I'm half the woman i was 4 months ago. Hula hooping - the new lipo suction.

I'm not mental

I'm not mental:

(Jane has been admitted to a mental hospital after the traumatic event of her husbands murder.)

Psychiatrist: Jane do you understand why you're here?

Jane: (nervously rocking back and forth, chewing on nothing, eyes wandering)
I didn't do it. Wasn't me. It wasn't me. I need to get back to my husband -- he'll be wondering where I am. (Starts laughing cynically) (stops suddenly -- eyes focused on psychiatrist)

(Whispering)
Wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me, wasn't me

I'm not insane, you have to believe me, I'm not mental. I know people say that I am, but I'm not.

(Angrily shouting, face shaking)

IM NOT MENTAL, IM NOT INSANE

(Talking calmly, accusing)

It was you wasn't it ? That's why you're talking to me.

(Jane stands, charging towards the psychiatrist, 3 security guards run in trying to restrain her)

WASN'T ME, WASN'T ME, WASN'T ME, WASN'T ME, WASN'T ME, WASN'T ME

song

(Jolene- Dolly Parton tune)

(Chorus)

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

I spend too much money on my shoes

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

What to wear to college i cannot choose

I really do like to take care

with quite long locks of brunette hair

a orange face

and eyes that are hazel

My smile is okay i spose

i think i have quite a wide nose

and think my voice is really deep, Sophie

I used to talk in my sleep

I really hate things that are cheap

It's not my fault i can't help it, Sophie

And i can easily understand

why my phone is not far from my hand

'Cause I'm always talking to my friends, Sophie 

(Chorus)

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

I spend too much money on my shoes

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

What to wear to college i cannot choose

I always have a chewing gum

But i rarely ever share one

Because they go so quickly, Sophie

I had to write this song for you

I really didn't want to

But i've done it now and it is all about me

(Chorus)

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

I spend too much money on my shoes

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie, Sophie

What to wear to college i cannot choose.

My Idiolect

My Idiolect-

I don't use any fillers when i talk however i constantly start thinking about something else and forget what i was saying so i pause for a bit, say "ummm" followed by "what was i on about again?". Also instead of saying good, i tend to say mint, this is probably because i have a strong Bristolian accent and say Bristolian words and instead of saying bad i say shit.

Rather than saying Antarctic i realized that i actually pronounce it without the c, so i say Antartic. Another thing i say due to being Bristolian is slider as apposed to slide. When i answer my home phone, i tend to speak quite posh however when i answer my mobile i sound quite annoyed and blunt depending on who i'm chatting to, on face time i'm very chatty and informal though.

When i talk im also very sarcastic, however for people who don't know me very well, i may come across as being rude and impolite but i'm not! I personally think i have quite a low voice, especially when i hear it on record i just cringe. But my friends say its just normal so i don't really know what to think because they say the same about theirs.
