The slang for self-portrait, “selfie” became famous in December of two thousand and twelve. But the “duck face selfie” became famous in mid two thousand and thirteen. Statistics say that the duck face selfie gets more likes than the normal casual smile does. You can see these faces on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter; so pretty much every social network.

 I do not know who started it but it sure became really famous in a short period of time. Most likely within a few years it will probably be continued or new faces with be trending in all networks. Different generations will be having different trending things going on then now. Out of all things and animals, the duck face is famous. Next thing you know that everyone will be doing the tiger face or maybe even the beaver face.

Another famous selfie that a lot of people use now a days are the peace sign and duck face, combination of the two famous selfies. This type of self-portrait became famous about the same time of the duck face.

Now in the year two thousand and fourteen a major hilarious selfie that just suddenly became famous and very popular within the few weeks of January also New Year is called “selfie game”. It is when someone does a random pose on their door, with a costume or something else extreme. A saying that is now famous with selfie game is “selfie game too strong.” I think out of all the different types of selfie’s this is my all-time favorite new thing. People go to extreme lengths to just make people laugh and get famous off of their pictures. The lengths they have gone are so serious that several people have gotten hurt and injured. But other than that, you have to admit that it is very funny.

       Mission blue butterflies are an endangered species. They have been endangered since nineteen seventy-six, which is now thirty-seven years, endangered means no longer protected as they use too and not living in any way. The locations that these insects are only found in are Marin County, San Mateo County, and San Francisco County.  These are very beautiful butterflies in my opinion. So, I say they deserve to get additionally protect before these butterflies are officially gone forever.

            The difference between female and male mission blue butterflies is the females are chocolate brown with a mirror-like image also with brownish, black dots and the males are a dark sky blue shade with a ring of brown on the outside of the wings. But some of these butterflies are identical, between the female and male. Such as they can also look alike by light blue and dark blue with brown edge on the wings. Both female and male wingspans are the same, which is 0.83 inches to 1.3 inches long. These certain butterflies depend on summer lupine for food.

            In order these creatures to not be endangered anymore there needs to be a change. More lupine, get legal protection in all states for them, and have garden clubs to grow lupine also flowers in the sunflower family so Mission Blue butterflies can have nectar so they can have something to drink.

            Mission blue butterflies do not do much for the environment but they are very unique looking. Wouldn’t it be better to have more of anything than less and less everyday of something that is a part of nature? Everyone has technology, so enjoy what Mother Nature has presented. Beauty of what has always been here is better than man made things. So I say, more protection for Mission Blue butterflies before they are no longer existing. 

During winter break I did not do much but be with my family. The first night we spent together was Christmas day. We baked tons of stuff. Brownies, cake, fudge, cupcakes and cookies. That was also the night I got sick. Me and my two cousins decided to go outside. It was about forty degrees and frost on the ground. Going outside was a bad idea because I am still sick. But hanging out with my family was fun.

It is very rare when me and my family all get together. Another night we spent together was the day after Christmas. We had brunch at my aunt’s house. Even though I was sick, I went outside again and was playing with my little cousins. Now me, my cousin Noah and Tiger are all sick. Once we went inside there was a nice warm cup of hot chocolate waiting for us three.

My major favorite part about winter break was just to spend family time. It is never all of us, it is either one of my aunt’s is out of town or they just do not go. So to make up for all that we spent about five days as a big family with all my eighteen cousins, three aunt’s and one uncle.
