 Bronze the Sling  who tagged me.

1) Who is your favorite singer/group

That's a hard one, as I have several. But I'll have to say Adam Young, who did Port Blue,  Sky Sailing,  and Owl City.  Of which I love all three!

2) If your favorite male actor was in the room with you right now, what would you do?

Probably several things. One, ask them why they are even in my house. Two, freak out and probably accidentally throw something at them in a bit of a fright.

3) What is a famous person you used to love, but (due to something they did in their life) you've suddenly changed your mind?

 Nobody really comes to mind.

4) Name one famous person who's name begins with a V.

Dick Van Dyke!

5) What's one of your favorite red carpet dresses?

I don't have one, I don't really watch red carpet events. Unless Oscars count, I'm not sure, in that case Jennifer Laurence's cream one.

6) Who's your favorite royal person?

 Aslan.

7) Who's your favorite child actor/actress?

 Not really a kid, but he's young-ish.  Will Poulter, who played Eustace on Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

8) Is there an actor/actress you actually like the private lives of?

Audrey Hepburn, she was an amazing person.

9) Do you think actors and actresses have improved over the last 100 years?

 Trick question?

10) What's the weirdest famous person name?

Honestly, I think Mr. T.  I don't know why but I tend to think it's a little odd for a name, but that's just me.

11) Do you think you look like a famous person?

Maybe, I don't know. All depends on the age I am and actually what mood I'm in. But I've been told I'm similar to Audrey Hepburn.

12) Share your favorite famous person quote.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way that she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.  - Audrey Hepburn.

13) Who is your favorite dancer?

 I don't know, I don't really know all that many people who dance. (sadly)  Most likely Dick Van Dyke again, he was an excellent dancer.

14) Why is your favorite actress your favorite one? When did you decide she was your favorite?

Audrey Hepburn was an inspiration, because instead of just being another pretty actress, she was a lady.  And not just anyone can be the kind of lady she was.  Because although talent can help someone as an actor/actress, she had the heart for what she did and what she believed in. And to be a lady is not something a person can fake, you have to be a lady at heart to be one.

15) Have you ever met/seen/been close to a famous person?

Probably at a Starbucks, but I didn't recognize them.  They're everywhere, and they are people like us, sometimes they just want a cup of coffee and a doughnut. :)

Geometry can be fun!

Hi there!

  For nearly every subject,  there are those who will either love it, or there will be those to loath it.  Geometry tends to be one of those subjects.  If you want a fun geometry project to do,  that does not require lots of supplies, well here's an idea for you.

 Supplies

Paper (card stock is better)
Poster board
Glue
Scissors
Measuring tape


 Build a one fourth inch, or if you have a small house, a one half inch scale model of your home.

 Measure out the floor plan, walls, and doors.  And on a very large piece of poster board draw out your home, with the walls and doors.
When this is done,  measure how tall your, walls are, and cut the paper walls to size, and glue the walls together to form the rooms.
 I found it easier if you make the wall a small bit longer then the end result, then you bend a small strip back and then blue on that bent piece.  Mark where the windows are,  if you don't want to cut them out. (I didn't)  And cut out the size and shapes of the doors.  Don't bother with a roof, you won't be able to see inside your house.

 Trust me! It can be fun!

You can do it...if you're willing to try.

Hi there!


 For all and any of you who play a musical instrument, or want to play a musical instrument, then this post may help you in getting in gear for playing, or wanting to play, or learning how you can want to play one.


1.   Find an instrument you love the sound of.

 If you don't love the sound the instrument itself makes when someone else is playing it, then don't bother. Because if you don't like it, then you won't have any reason to want learn to play it.


2.   Find out if you can learn to play it.

 Sometimes it's very hard depending on what it is, because some instruments you have to be self taught in order to learn, or else pay a lot of money for lessons. But I personally prefer being self taught.  Or else just learn if you can play it, because some instruments actually have very specific requirements, such as a lot of wind instruments, like the clarinet. But you can learn to play anything if you have the desire to learn it.  Which brings me around to number three.


3.   Have the desire to learn.


 No desire to learn, often leads to not wanting to play at all, which can result in bad playing.  If you are in a band, or are simply learning to play an instrument that you don't care to learn, or don't want to learn. Try and find any positive thing you can about it. If it's violin and you don't like it, listen to violin music of all genres, people play violin music from classical to rock!  Just try to find a single song you like, with the instrument you play in it.


4.   Find a song you want to learn.


 Even if the song is above your current ability, it can give you extra motivation to learn to play. Which can lead you infinite possibilities. Aside from learning other things along the way, because when you can finally play that one song, (or multiple songs) you have reached a goal, and that achievement can bring a lot of happiness.


5.   Play for friends, family, guests!


 Don't be afraid to play music for others.  Music is one thing in life that everyone can share, and it doesn't matter what instrument you play.  Musicians of all kinds know that it takes a lot to learn to play, but the fact that you are taking that step to be able to accomplish it, is a feat in itself.  Sometimes people will recommend songs for you to learn, or at least give ideas,  music never ends.


6.   Play your heart out.


 Whatever instrument you play, it might be drums, it might be guitar, violin, flute, bass, cello, accordion, it might even be something like the bagpipes, or a harp.  All people who play any type of musical instrument know that it takes practice, and a willingness to learn to be able to play well, and enjoy the process.  Because,  many, many times, people have begun to play simply for the joy of hearing music.  And it's only afterwards that some become well known or famous.  But even then, some of them don't care, they play because music is a part of them.

 So play your heart out,  music is a language we all can understand.


7.   Actually play your instrument.


 I don't mean, pick it up and play it for a set time every single day so that you get the quota in.  I mean, play it for the sake of playing. If your heart isn't in your song at any point in your musical part of life, then why are you even bothering?  Learn to love music.  And learn to love the things that music can bring yourself, and others.

Write that book!

I'm taking a home-schoolers' creative writing class, and I'd like to share the more useful tip I learned about writing a fiction novel. Every author I've ever met has stressed the importance of writing daily. It doesn't matter if you feel sick or didn't get enough sleep, or if you just plumb have writers' block. As long as you write one page, two pages, or a chapter per day, you're doing something useful.
I try to work on my stories for just an hour every day, but even if I can't find the inspiration to write one of my stories, I have to write something. My writing may even be about how I don't feel like writing! Whatever my thoughts are, it just helps to get them on paper (or the screen). Sometimes I'll be rambling about something arbitrary and be struck with a story idea.
My conclusion is that if you are a writer, write every day. Set a timer and type words for half an hour. Get your feelings and emotions out onto the screen. I've learned the importance of steady, daily writing. Why not start now?

Physics: Conversion more specifically

Hey there!



  Physics, I have learned, can be either fun, or just plain bothersome.  Well, today I learned, (through a long process, mind you, retaking lessons can be helpful in physics)  that conversion may not be so hard after all.


 But let me tell you, yesterday this made no sense to me. And this was my first conversion problem.  So if I can do it, (And I hate algebra) then you can to. (Especially if math is something you love)

 V= m . 1/p = 81g  .  1 cm3/10.5g = 7.7 cm3 = 7.7 mL

And honestly, when it's written down like that it doesn't make sense until you learn physics. But a lot of that is converting. And that can be easy depending on the process.

Here's a few tips.  Going in order of that conversion.


V = Volume
m = Mass
p = Density
g = gram
cm3 = Cubic centimeters
mL = Milliliters

And I've been using the  /   for the cm3 over g.

 Cubic centimeters equal the same as milliliters.   In this case,  1  cubic centimeter equals  10.5 grams.  81g  divided by 10.5  equals  7.7   and once you have all the numbers, then you can worry about the labels.


This is pretty much how algebra, or in some cases dividing fractions. If you have done either, then this should make a bit more sense.

p =  V/M  the formula for density.    So if  you are having trouble with density formulas, then this may help a little.

ps - Sorry if it makes no sense, I can try and revise it.

Welcome!

Welcome to Masterfully Minded!


 I see you've stumbled upon the blog!  I hope you enjoy it.  I'm not even sure how well it's going to turn out. But hopefully we'll be seeing advice on homeschooling, school subjects, or maybe a class we just took for a day!  And hopefully on the whole range of subjects, from math, to grammar, to maybe even some art tips.  So anyways. I hope you enjoy!
