Hey everyone! Let's begin this post with...
Art Word of the Week!
For Art's Explorer #8, it provided our imaginations with a workout it needed by giving life to an inanimate object.
The object that I am giving life to is (drum roll, please....)...
I chose this lil' guy because my mother bought this stuffed animal for me when I was 2yrs old and it was a huge part of my childhood. Therefore, he came from a store. His personality amazes me since he came from a store. Now, enough of my blabbering, it is time to introduce [The Great] Loki the Hopster!
The Great Loki the Hopster lives in my closet. For the past 10 years, he has been renovating my closet to suit his needs.
Loki the Hopster has two nicknames: Loki and Hoppie. However, if you wish to refer to him by his full name, YOU MUST address him as THE GREAT Loki the Hopster. If you do not, you will be confronted by his anger which will then turn into rambles that NEVER END which only explain why he needs to be known as the GREAT Loki the Hopster. Patience is his forte as long as you execute the aura of "cuteness." Here is a tip if you want him to be patient with you: BRING SWEET TREATS. Cheesecake is particularly his favorite. Sweet treats are the key to his heart and intelligence.
He loves to travel. It is still a wonder to me how he is able to fit all those souvenirs into the closet and how does he get onto the plane the first place. Apparently, it's a secret. He can be competitive but it only involves when he plays online games. When he overdoses on chocolate chip cookies by Mr. Christie, he speaks in Java Script. Yes, Java Script. How he is able to do that, still baffles me but it has helped me learn what Java Script is though.
He likes to read books about philosophy. He does not like fake people , people who fish for complements, people who won't do anything on their own, and misinformed people. If he meets people like this, you will see what I call the ultimate Sarcastic Hoppie. Depending on his mood, if he needs a laugh Loki likes to confuse people with his sarcasm and if you do not get his sarcasm well then you are just screwed. Also, he loves helping people...for a price. As I said before, bring him sweets and that 'price' is gone. =D
Loki is able to speak two languages fluently: English and Portuguese. However, he has insisted on learning Latin because he wants to prove that it is not a dead language since he is trying to learn it. Plus, according to him, it helps confuse people more. He also has many friends. Once I decided to visit Loki in his closet and found other creatures there that strangely resembled the cast of Winnie the Pooh. But the strangest thing was that they were discussing about the concept of gravity because Pooh Bear defied gravity by using a bunch of balloons to help him float to a bee hive to retrieve honey.
Honestly, the one lesson that I have learned after meeting THE GREAT Loki the Hopster was that YOU SHOULD NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. Loki looked so cute in his pajamas but I never expected such a complex character from him. But I still love him. He inspired me to become who I am today. Well, I hope all of you got to know one of my best buddies and remember two key things about: Sweets are the way to his heart and when addressing him by full name please do not forgot to mention "THE GREAT Loki the Hopster."

The last thing I want to mention before I end this post is that an activity like this is an excellent opportunity for children to exercise their imaginations. It causes them to think outside the box and it gives them power to create a personality, essentially a story for something that they like!~
Well, until next time!
