The Art of This Culture
Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest and most complex. What makes Chinese culture so much related to art is that it is true to it's original culture. Art is the center to their culture. For every cultural event they have and recognize they use art. They use it to express their history, families, feelings, and so on. Their art commends their heritage. And they have cherished excellence in art.

My Right Brain, My Left Brain
http://homeworktips.about.com/library/brainquiz/bl_leftrightbrain_quiz.htm
Above is a website that you may find useful in discovering whether you're right brained of left brained. I took the quiz and below are my results!
You are a middle brain dominant student!
You are open minded but not gullible about things or people. You may run into trouble making decisions sometimes, while your logical brain plays tug-of-war with your gut instinct. You enjoy the arts, but you could also do well in science and math. You appreciate the beauty of all things in life, and are well-rounded. Middle brain students would do well on The Apprentice, since they can have a strong mix of gut instinct and an appreciation for numbers. You would have a strong career in business, but you may not go that route; you may be more interested in studying the arts and sciences in college. You would be wise to read over the characteristics of left and right brain students and consider whether you fall into the traps of either type. For instance, extreme right brain dominant students can get too bogged down in thought, while extreme left brain students can be rigid in their views.

My Photographic Eye
The theme I chose from www.photofriday.com for this post was made for the January 5, 2007 challange. The theme is "Sisters"
This is my "big sister" in my sorority Leanne.
The picture above, with four in it, is of me and my three biological sisters.
Brandie, Sammie, and Mary Beth
The black and white picture above is my older sister Sammie, myself, and my youngest sister Mary Beth
To the right are my sorority sisters. Alpha Gamma Delta
"If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child."
