*sigh*

Hello.
Yes, I know it's Sunday. HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY! I'd just like to take this post to assure everyone that, yes, we are still alive.... we just... aren't... really... good.... at... HOLY CHEEZITS ITS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS ALREADY!!!! anyway, we aren't good at blogging anymore.
And also I've given up on coherent sentences and grammar today. *sigh* sorry... 
but yeah, hi :) 
How are you all?
good?
thats.... good.....
*cricket cricket* 
I feel bad that none of us have posted in the past like...... 6 months..... 
I'm starting to feel like Allie from Hyperboleandahalf... except shes been gone for well over a year... which makes me very sad :c. (Allie, return your wonderful, humorous presence to us).

So yeah... that's all I have to say. Oh, and I'm becoming dictator of the United States one day. Just saying. 
k. bai. 

DFTBA! (and happy St. Patty's day)
Carrie :)  

I really don't like school anymore.

No, I do not like school for the following reasons:

• NHD
• homework
• IB

Let us begin with NHD, shall we? For those who may not know, NHD is National History Day. Except it's not just a day-- it's about 5 months of your life dedicated to one day.  And apparently it sucks. A lot. This is my first year and I decided to take on an individual project. This could either end very badly or very well. (I'm hoping for the latter.) I think the scariest part for me right now is just the initiative. (I.e., precis, choosing official topic, etc.) There is a chance that I will have to re-choose my topic. Which is probably going to suck even more. And I really don't want to because I personally loved my first topic. But I suppose what has to be done has to be done, whether I like it or not. And who knows, maybe I'll find an even better topic? :3 But yeah, not looking forward to NHD. 

Homework. I just have one thing to say: kjlfnajbgtlarbijlgbjafkl *head explodes*. Reason: (see next paragraph). There's just so much! I don't understand. Like, actually, what is this? Maybe it's just me, but there's so much work with everything! I blame IB. 

Ah yes, IB. Just one big hunk of ugh. I like my classes, and I'm glad I'm taking the Medallion program. It's just everything is so.. different. Maybe it's still because it's the beginning of the year, but yeah. ugghhh.... 

I just can't even anymore. That was my incomplete rant. 

Yeah.
DFTBA! ♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

Feelings. (pt. 1)

I'm apologizing in advance, but Carrie needs a small rant post about lively things that have been bothering her. 

For instance, inconsideration.

For some reason this has been popping up in my everyday life. Which shouldn't be happening. It happens with me (yes, I too am inconsiderate sometimes, I'm sorry if you've ever been a victim of that), it happens to me, and it happens to people I know. 

I don't quite understand why and how people can be so inconsiderate, it even shocks me when I am. And it's even funnier because usually it's to the people you supposedly care most about. Even if the reason is you're just "having a bad day", why does that person deserve those harsh words? They don't. Find other ways to vent your frustration or whatever. For example, use it in marching band when you're telling one of the freshmen to pick up their feet... however, do it in a creative criticism kind of way. I just feel like a lot of people are inconsiderate in one way or another nowadays, whether it be intentional or not. I think where the real practice lies is recognizing when you are and fixing it as best you can. 

And I don't feel like writing the rest of this post. Maybe I will next week. Sorry, lovelies, but I cannot think anymore.
DFTBA! ♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

oops...

Um, so..
We didn't die.
Promise.

Highschool is just kind of... well, crazy. and busy. 

but mostly busy. 

bleh. I'm tired. and I have homework that I just don't want to do. Ever. 
but I have to. Eventually. Maybe tomorrow... or some weird obscure hour tonight.

And I'm just gonna go now...

Oh, and my birthdays in less than 21 days. :D

boo. yah. 
 DFTBA!

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

Hey there, 6LCF. It's been a while. I'm kind of freaked out about the fact that high school is halfway over. Part of me is freaked out by the fact that two years could pass by so quickly, and part of me is freaked out by the fact that we sing have to endure two years more. Anyway, I know we're all taking different classes this year and such, but I really hope we'll still hang out and be awesome together. <3 Virgil

. . . Hi

Hi. (I hope you're well.)

I can't remember the last time I posted, which is probably a really not-good thing. It's funny, that, because for a long time I was the only one who hadn't missed a day. Life sort of happened, I guess, and I keep forgetting. I've been kind of a fail at a lot of things lately; summer is not doing much in the motivational department. 

I went to China for a month, from the 27th of June to the 24th of July, which somewhat accounts for but doesn't excuse my long period of not-posting. It was really great; I got to meet the relatives I haven't seen for seen years, some of them even longer than that. It was fun playing tourist, and yeah. Fun times. 

Apart from that, though, life hasn't been particularly interesting. I looked after small children at a science summer camp last week and I'm going to be babysitting my sister starting Monday, again for a week. I kind of wish I had a paying job. It's pretty thankless work, shepherding around kids for nothing more than a 10% discount at the science center store, but that's volunteering, sigh. At least the people there are pretty nice, adults and camp volunteers alike. 

 I dunno, really. My birthday's coming up, but it's also right in the middle of the week of babysitting, which kind of ruins it. My family's going to do celebratory stuff this weekend, though, so it's alright. 

That's about it. See you, and enjoy the rest of the summer.

xiy

Don't waste your time reading this

Today was my last day of work. I had a pretty decent time--the people are really nice but I had to do paperwork (ew). But I made money. And moneys are good things.

It is also the second day of August. omgwhat

Tomorrow I am going on a college visit with some friends (party!!!) and um...yeah.

It probably would've been better if I just hadn't posted today. There is virtually nothing for me to write about. Soorrryyy.

-Momo

Oh and the Olympics are happening. Almost forgot.

Oops...

I've been so awful at posting lately, I'm sorry. :/
I have been an awfully lazy Carrie.
Merp.
I don't even really know whats going on in the world. 
Besides the release of the new Batman movie. 
Which was awesome!
I've already seen it twice and plan on seeing it again tomorrow. :3 Tehehehe. 

So... guiseeee... reunion? I miss all of your lovely faces. And maybe we can get this blog back on a roll, eh? 

DFTBA!♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

Everything since...June

Hi!!! I finally remembered/was able to post this week!

This summer has been fun but as a whole, pretty uneventful. My family and I went to Rome for a bit over a week and stopped in Germany for 2 quick days to see family and then came home. I had a ton of fun despite its shortness. We found out that 2 more of my cousins are getting married--one didn't invite anyone to the wedding but our grandma (da hell?!) and the other one knocked up his girlfriend and everyone's invited in October. It's like I have two different families.

Now I'm working at the hospital where my dad works. I'm being a research assistant which is super boring and doesn't even involve my doing that much except for sitting at a computer all day looking for things wrong with people. 

But yeah.

Summer is half way over DDDD: which is stupid.

House and I have been doing Community Band annnnnddd....omg I just watched the latest episode of the Glee Project [*spoiler alert*] WHAT THE HELL, RYAN MURPHY? B*TCH CUT THE ONLY GIRL I LIKED.

Kay gotta go cry in a hole now byeeeeeeeeeeee

Summer Heat

Hey~

Y'all probably noticed for yourselves by now, but it's insanely hot here. I don't know how it's been for you crazy world travelers, but omg it is scorching in the states.

I've been in Rhode Island for the past little while, and my Fourth of July was actually pretty lovely. Like, all the family there can sometimes get hectic and make everyone more than a little angsty, but crazy levels were kept at a pretty nice, moderate amount. We went to our usual minor league game, a visit made sweeter by a Pawsox victory ^.^

Sadly, my diet that lately has been made up of fried dough, (diet) soda, and fries with vinegar is coming to a sorrowful end. Tuesday starts official summer training for soccer! While it'll be lovely getting back on the field, I'm not exactly excited to run and run and run and run... and runrunrun x.x But with eight [8. EIIIGHHHTTTTTT] seniors' from last year's spot open in varsity, there's a lot of pressure to take up the burden, especially with one of our only two [2. ONLY TWWWOOOOOOOOO] seniors this year off on injury. Gah. gah gah gah.

I miss all you guys, but hopefully I'll be seeing some of you in band camp soon ^.^

With all due respect,
House.

Hi guys.

Summer = awesome. Someone please remind me why it can't be summer all year. 

Things I like about summer (in no particular order): 

sleeping in

popsicles

travelling

swimming

lemonade

blue sky

 

absence of:

homework, school, dealing with people on a daily basis

<3

I miss you guys... but let's be real. No one wants junior year to start up any time soon. 

But seriously. It can just take its time. No rush.  

:)

Virgil

IpromiseIdidn'tforget!

Well, I don't feeling like writing much.


Sorry.


I hope you all had/are having/will have a fabulous weekend. 


DFTBA! <3


Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

LOOK! I DID NOT FAIL THIS WEEK.

Now that I've gotten this far, I don't know what to write.

I've literally been sitting here for, like, 5 minutes.

Hi!

Summer has been pretty good so far. It feels like it started today because up until now, we've been having lots of graduation festivities with my family for my sister (who graduated) and one of my cousins that came didn't leave until yesterday. 

We did a ton of shopping and I have, like, an almost completely new wardrobe. 

Except not quite.

But (House should be proud) I got 3 new dresses AND a pair of, like, 3 inches heels (kinda unnecessary seeing as I'm like 5' 8 1/2'' without shoes) and tank tops and shorts and sandals.

Besides that, summer has been pretty uneventful besides going to the beach with y'all and chillin with Lynda today.

That's basically it.

Oh, and report cards came today (and I am in a good mood now).

Looooooooooooove,

Momo

Am I the only one who posts on their designated day?

Yes. Yes, I am. 

Hellohello. :) 

How are my little lovelies today? 
*crickets* 
Talkative bunch, are we? 

Annnnywho, this is just gonna be a short post, seeing as my mother, my brother, and I are going out to dinner and a movie. We're going to see The Avengers! I'm excited ^_^ 

Also, I have to go throw my laundry in the dryer. But that was more of a reminder for me, not all of you. 

Tomorrow is an exciting day! Finally, all the Curly Fries are getting together and going to the beach! Yay for reunions! 
I don't think soggy, sandy fries would be all too tasty though. :P 
Hehe, I made a funny. I bet at least one of you out there thought that was cute too. :3 

I've had a very eventful day today too! My brother and I spent the day together and went putt-putting and on a series of small adventures. It was quite wonderful. :3 

Anywho, I must depart. 
I bid you all adieu.

DFTBA! ♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

a quick post before I go to bed

Hey hey, readers and purveyors of this lovely blog! How is your third Friday of this month going? It's lateish now and I want to catch up on sleep (lovely lovely post-AP sleep), so this is going to be short. Basically I'm just glad the bulk of studytimez is over; there's only really math to worry about now, which is awesome.

We have to take a personal finance class now that there is no American history to overfill our brains with (I returned my books yesterday, and it was actually kind of sad ;A;), and the enormity of adult life is really quite a scary thing. We should just be children forever.

Anyway. It's eleven o'clock right now. I don't have any good books to read, which is disappointing. Well, that's not quite true; I'm reading This Side of Paradise, but Fitzgerald is only good in small doses in the right frame of mind, and I'm too sleepy to concentrate on the beauteous writing. I wish I could write half as well.

Goodnight.

It's so weird to not study....and a love letter

HELLO.

After working so hard to study and prepare for the AP exams, I feel, like, not normal. I feel lighter, though, which is nice because I had heavy boots from studying so much. It just isn't very pleasant to study. I don't know what to do with my life now!!! 

I like it.

Before we had the APs I wrote a list of things that I wanted to do after we were done. It includes sleeping, catching up on my YouTube subscriptions from the last 2 months (which I've been doing all afternoon) and making a graduation present for my sister. I've only caught up on YouTube.

Shows how good I am at prioritizing.

I don't know how to write words.

So I just did some research about what to write about. [I'm really drawing a blank, OK?]

One of the suggestions was to a write a love letter to your favorite person/people and I thought that would be relevant seeing as we just celebrated (without the celebration part) our second anniversary.

Dear Six (Five, I guess (since I'm not writing to myself (although I do love myself))) Little Curly Fries,

Your eyes are more beautiful than the stars     I love your smile    You smell really nice   I like your boots

I like you guys a lot.

I guess that's called love.

I love you guys a lot.

I love having 5 best friends to share a blog with and I love always knowing who I can hang out with and I love knowing who I can bother and I love having 5 girls I can talk to all the time.

I love that we don't fight (much) and that if we do fight it lasts minutes at most. 

You make me smile a lot.

I love having a name for my group of friends and that we have a group on Facebook.

I love that even though we are all totally different we all share similar interests.

I love how we can characterize each other in less than five words or a million if we felt like it.

I love cats. oops

I love how we can tease each other like sisters and still laugh about it together.

You are all really nice.
I love all the memories we have together.
I love that we are still gonna have a lot more memories.
I just love everything about all of you.

In conclusion, I love you more than a million kitties all curled up on my bed.

I love you all a lot.

 And that was my really bad love letter.

The End.

Loooooooooooove, Momo

Days don't really count anymore... right?

Anyway, hi. This is Virgil. 

Um. I had an idea a second ago. I swear I did. 

...oh well. Anyway.

Here's a poem: 

Moon Rock

  

What do you wish for, oh daughter, sweet love?

said he to the girl dressed in pink. 

I wish for the shine of the moon on my skin,
said she who each night dreamed in ink.
He flew to the moon and picked up a piece,
brought it home in a white rocketship;
The rock did not shine, for there was no sun,
And the girl dressed in pink gave this tip:
Father, my father, I know you mean well,
What I meant was it’s time to let go.
Under this roof I am shielded from harm,
Yet ne’er have I felt the moon’s glow.
I know that the sun’s rays are harmful,
and they lead to skin cancer and burns;
But without those rays the moon would be dark,
As ev’ry good third grader learns.
The girl dressed in pink at last stepped outside,
And her dreams were at once filled with gold,
She who had once only known black and white -
It was finally time to grow old.

Yeah. okay. 
peace.
