The Gothic Novel

The GN was invented by Horace Walpole by having written "The castle of Ortano" in 1764.

It has some characteristic elements such as:

• Using a haunted castle as the main place
• Playing with suspense and mystery
• An ancient prophecy
• omens, portents, visions,...
• Supernatural or otherwise unexplicable events
• High, even overwrought emotion
• Women in distress
• Women threatened by a powerful, impulsive, tyrannical male
• The metonymy of gloom and horror

What makes me feel...

Happy?

I'm happy when positive things happen and even more if i have participated on making them become real! I think that working in postive things is good for yourself and people around you. I'm happy when I help somebody or when I am close to the sea, I don't know why, but when I am, I hear its sound, I feel it cold in my feet, and all worries disappear... The sea is what makes me feel special, and normally, I use to take advantage of all its conditions ( huge waves, strong winds, cold breeze,...). I love to be a guest on this blue immensity. When a wave comes towards you is when you're able to see how small you are, and you think everything you've done, was it really important? When I' happy I like to make other people feel happy.


Sad?

I feel sad when I am alone (talking about no one understands you, etc. Physically I like to be alone). Before it was usual because I had lots of social problems in my old school but now I'm happier and I don't use to have this feeling. Even though, I am sad as well, when I'm frustrated for not getting an important objective or when I argue with somebody who is important for me. When I'm sad I like to disappear for two or three hours and think about all I've done. I stop being sad saying "sorry" or "how can I solve it?"


Stressed?

I feel stressed when I have too may things to do at the same time and I can't. I am stressed when I can't solve a problem too. Feeling stressed is normal at my age: exams, homework,... It can be very stressful to have somebody annoying you everyday! Probably he thinks that he is funny, but people are not laughing with him, they are laughing at him, but they can't see anymore than that. Fighting stress can be easy, relaxing is the solution!

Kitesurfing

The kitesurfing is a sport that is growing up inside the watersports world. It's impressive for its huge jumps, its powerful tricks and its danger. Kitesurfing is a sport that was invented in "Nouvelle Calédonie", close to Australia. There a man thought that if kids used little kites for playing and with the strong winds they got blown away, he could use even bigger kites for pulling of his boat instead of rowing.
From that crazy experiment kitesurfing appeared. First it was used with surf boards for catching big waves, but later on, a new discipline appeared: the freestyle. At the beggining it was basically focused on huge jumps, board grabs and rotations. Then it evolved to the new school style that was completely amazing. From jumping big obstacles to powerful air manouvers like inverts or things like that. After a few years, the security increased and a new kind of style began to appear in the young crazy people. Tecnically it's not difficult, but you need balls to do this. This style is nmed "King of the air" and consists in jumping higher than your opponents. I'll post some vids about big air, new school and old school:

The rugged wolf is athletic, good-looking and brimming with self-confidence. A close relative of the domestic dog, it is stronger and more aggressive, managing to generate notoriety wherever it marks its territory. The wolf's dark reputation is mainly due to jealousy of its consistent success in work and romance. A wolf in full stride is quite impressive. Firing orders at subordinates while on the phone to customers, no one can get the job done quite as efficiently as the wolf.
With an innate understanding of the value of teamwork, it's always ready to take its place in the chain of command either as leader or as simply a member of the pack. When a wolf decides to innovate, it makes sure that it has the backing of a capable team. The wolf is clear-headed and strong-minded, always willing to compromise in the interests of getting a job done.
Wolves are facially expressive and readily communicate their emotional states with body language. They work hard at developing their social relationships, although unlike their cousin the dog they are quick to anger when they sense threats to the social order. When confrontations occurs, they sometimes react suddenly and violently, barking displeasure at offending subordinates. Close companions know to avoid their biting tongue until they resume their normal gregarious behavior.
Wolves are intensely ambitious and never shy from hard work. Socially adept, they function well in leadership and management roles as well as in jobs requiring vision and strength of character. Being a natural motivator, their instinctive understanding of group dynamics serves them well in goal-oriented tasks.
As bosses, wolves demand absolute loyalty and they provide the same allegiance to their employees. Their ability to perform under pressure helps them attain the highest executive levels, and with strong communication instincts they maintain a constant stream of notes, letters, and email to coworkers. Their instinctive understanding of the chain of command makes wolves excellent soldiers or law enforcement officers.




I don't agree at all because some of my answers are not really related to the description of the wolf but most of the things in here make me feel refleced in this so, hope you enjoy seeing if you are a wolf as well.

MY DREAMS

My most ridiculous dream is becoming kiteboarding world champion! I know that probably I'll never get it but there is a little possibility of becoming one of those air fighters! I haven't got level enough and in at least 5 or six years I won't know many tricks but i know as well that if I spend every windy day on the water I will progress as kitesurfer.

And my other dream is related to kiteboarding as well. I'd like travelling to thailand and spending the whole wind season in there. It would be amazing!!!!!! I will have some problems as the money, the house,.... But if I keep some money and I go there with a friend, I'm sure I'll do this at least once.
