Passions!

Here comes a few questions about passion, and my answers to them. 


1. What is your passion, why?

My passion has to be Harry Potter. It’s an amazing book-serie, I love the books, movies and everything around it. I have met many people that mean a lot to me thanks to Harry Potter-websites, and it feels weird to think how it would be not knowing them. I love the feeling of opening one of the books and just sink down in it, laugh when they tell jokes to each other, cry when characters die. When the last movie was released, Louise and I sewed robes that we wore when we saw the movie. (Her robe looked a lot nicer than mine, haha.) 

2. Tell us a weird passion you heard of.

One of my friends (A Harry Potter fan, just like me) collects After Eight papers, you know, the little pieces of plastic that cover up the minty-chocolate-thingy. She started collecting them, just for fun, in the summer 2008. Now she has lots of them! She counted them, and told me she had 406 of them. I would say that is quite... Special, and awesome.

3. Why do you think people have passions?

I think that you need something to focus on, except from the usual stuff like work, school or housework. Something that you can use to ”get away” from those things and just... Enjoy whatever you’re passionated about. Forget things that you don’t want to remember, just for a little while.

4. What does your passion require in time, gear, money?

It takes time, because it takes a little while to read the books and see the movies. You could rent the books from your library, so it should not cost so much if you choose just to read the books. Of course you can do like me, buy the books, movies, side-books (Books that have been mentioned in Harry Potter, that J.K.Rowling later has written in real life. I’m thinking of buying ”Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them”), house-scarfs, house-ties and lots of other things. That can be quite expensive... But that’s not a problem for me, I love Harry Potter so much I don’t care.

Toodles! :D

I got two questions from my teacher a couple of days ago about energy and the environment. Here they come! (And what i answerd...)

1. Think about a way to get energy, which is not from fossil fuels.

Invent or present a alternative way you heard of.

I thought about the bicycle-lights that don’t need any batteries, the ones that start shining when you ride your bike. What if you could make something like that... But you attach some sort of machine-box-thingy that can store the energy that you build up while riding your bike? 

And it would be great if you could charge your technical things, like your phone or your computer at any time you want, with the energy that you have built up. Maybe you could save the energy, and then sell it and earn some money? You could take the little machine-box of your bike and bring it to some sort of station where they attract the energy out of the box. The energy you sold could be used for such things as trains, the subway, or to warm up houses? (Or other electronic-things like escalators, elevators, you name it)

But exactly how that is supposed to be invented, I have no idea.

2. Which one is most environment friendly. Paper or your computer?

Reflections and argument why!

I’m not really sure at all, that totally depends on the user of the computer. 

Is the user of the computer very careful when he/she is around it, or does the user do whatever he/she wants? 

If you don’t take care of your computer you’ll have to throw it after a little while, and... Well, it’s not so environment-friendly to buy new computers all the time.

But paper can easily be overused... 

It’s easy to write a couple of words on a paper, make something wrong and then just throw it.  What if you are a person who love to write, and then like print out your novels that you just wrote? Or if you love to print out pictures and tape them to your wall? (Or you just like to draw?) Then alot of paper is used... But ofcourse there are some people that almost never print out things, or write by hand. 

So I don’t really know what I think, but if I had to say something... I would probably say that my computer is more environment-friendly... Because you need new paper everytime you want to do something, but you only need one computer for a very long time.

Toodles! :D
