I'm at xiy's house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER WIDDLE SISTER!!!!! and happy mother's day too :)

{^well, I'm not there anymore. but I was.}
Hello!
@Momo: OMG I LOVE TACOS <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Happy Mother's Day!! Especially to my mommy, who probably will actually read this. Thanks to all the mums of us 6LCF for putting up with all our strange shenanigans :) You all iz wonderful! Hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day and your kid[s] pampered and tended to you as you saw fit.

I spent quite a lot of my day at xiy's house. We were outlining our 9HD project, seeing as apparently we're going on... haha, we have a bit of work to do, considering how, um, informal our first try at displaying Robespierre's part in the French Revolution on a trifold board was.
Personally, I think neon backing, handwritten captions, paint smudges, and indents from footprints of xiy's widdle sister add sort of a cute touch. {Okay, the whole part where it was two mini trifolds duct taped together was a bit sketchy. But our school is kinda sketchy; it's what we know and love. Of courseeee.}
But our History teacher thinks the judges' opinion might differ.
Whatev.

Um... this weekend has been remarkably and lovely-ly chill. I didn't have to put much effort into anything (yayayayay) besides making my mum a card for Mother's Day.
I did go the library, though!
And now I'm reading The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan. I usually don't read YA, but I really like it :)

All the older kiddies are taking their AP and SAT Subject tests and things. lol @ them. hooray for being young and not taking AP or anything. (though our finals are soon-ish... *cringes* that will not be fun.)

Which means that skool iz almost out!!!! Which is just super exciting!!! Because then real soccer conditioning season legit starts!!! I love dragging my body across a 101°F field and pulling muscles and running until I can't breathe and my lungs collapse into a wrinkled lump!!! Except not!!!


So  yeah. That's about it.
EXCEPT for marching band starts soon! My piccolo and I will be reunited again <3
Can't wait to be back to playing notes >four lines above the staff.

With all due respect,
House.

Huh, House even told me earlier not to forget to post...

AND I DIDN'T! Aren't you guys so proud of me? ^_^ :3 I forget everything! It's sooo bad. D:

(No, stupid Blogger, stop changing the font color back to black.)

Eh, today was alright. A couple friends came over to work on our German horror film. It's so legit, and my apartment building is super sketchy, so it helped A LOT! 

Blahhhh, I'm being lazy and don't really feeling like typing. 
I'm sorry. 

Happy almost Mothers' Day. Be nice to your mommies tomorrow, alright? :) They were nice enough to keep you in their stomachs for 9 freaking months; that is a long time! ♥ 

Yeah. k. bye. 

DFTBA! ♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

P.S. - Am I not the nice, caring one anymore? :/ Did I become mean? :( I'm sorry... I didn't mean to. You guys have got to let me know of these things! :P (And I don't have a life, just saying) 

It's so weird to tag this post as 'Friday.' :|

This post is, strangely, being written at a later date than most of my Tuesday posts were, despite the fact that I obviously have more time to write and therefore should be churning out these things more quickly. However, today, I do actually have a good excuse--I was finishing the colouring on my mommy dearest's Mother's Day present.

Would you like to see?

Of course you do.

(I should warn you now that it's not actually very mother-y themed, but I tried and failed badly to draw my mother realistically, so I drew something that I hope she'll appreciate. Even though it has nothing to do with motherhood. ^^;)

Ohgoshihopeshelikesittellmewhatyouthinkyouguysahhhhhh. >.<

Huh. It seems that Blogspot has changed some of its controls. The tag box is now on the left instead of the right and then there's the location thing that Momo said located us somewhere in Kansas. Strange.

Have you guys had a nice Friday? This week was (lame) senior prank week at our school, but for all intents and purposes it was nearly a normal week. (It rained today, somewhat ruining the seniors' camp-out-on-the-lawn-day. I was not sympathetic.)

Aaaand. Uh. Oh yeah--House and I are definitely going on to 9HD Part the Second, which means we have to get an actual trifold, resize all the pictures, cut down on the neon construction paper, and actually make the thing look presentable. The amount of work involved doesn't bear thinking about. ;A;


So, yeah. Tell me what you think of that drawing and stuff. I hope your week wasn't too awful.


Cheers,
xiy
 

Happy Mother's Day! (part 2)

Hi, guys! Happy Mother's Day (like it said in the title)!
Now, I know that none of the Six Little Curly Fries are actually mothers (at least, I do hope we're not...we're a bit young, I should think), but Mother's Day is still quite a special day, yes? So I just wanted to start a post about what we're doing to show our wonderful mommies that we love them dearly, contrary--sometimes--to outward appearances.
Me? Well, I made my mother a very nice (kind of cheesy) card with a drawing of my big happy family (if four people counts as "big") in it. I was going to make her breakfast, but our house is kind of devoid of any real breakfast food except Cheerios (and those are more for my baby sister), and my mom's not the biggest fan of cereal, so that didn't really work. My mom was a bit late in declaring what she wanted (jewelry, though she didn't say what kind), so we still haven't really gotten her present yet, but hopefully we will go and pick it out today.
Um...I feel kind of like a bad daughter...did I do enough?
(By the way, this is xiy typing, in case you didn't notice.)

Anyway, what did you guys to for Mother's Day (you can answer this tomorrow if you don't have time today)?

Carrie:

House: My mum's actually sick today with something like what I just had (Get well soon! *lessthanthree*), but Dad and I (meaning "Dad") made her the usual Mothers' Day crepe breakfast that we always do. We went over my grandma's house (id est, my mum's mum's residence) and ate a lovely lunch with a lot of my family from both my mum and dad's sides.

Momo: Haha! I just posted a thing on mother's day too! My mom asked for apple trees (???) but we haven't gotten them yet. I was a great daughter and made a lovely pancake breakfast all by myself! I also made a box full of certificates of momliness, a coupon, and some origami...for some reason she liked it.

Lynda: Uh, now, what did I do?? Oh yeah. Well, I drew this pretty card, but she didn't notice it, cuz I taped it onto the second floor door, and my COUSIN (grrrrr) opened it. So she didn't see it behind the door. *sigh*. I also got her a single rose because....well because I couldn't a) find a store in Shaker Square that sold bouquets of roses, besides that icky florist design shop (who honestly wants a rose bouquet that needs a month to be made? I EMPHASIZED on the "now" word!) and b) I ended up finding it in Dave's Supermarket but--> it was $25. I only had ten dollars with me *annoyed grunt*

Virgil: Well, we had to get up early to go to church, so there really wasn't any time for the ol' breakfast-in-bed routine. However, my dad did go to Bruegger' s to get us yummy bagels and chicken spaetzle soup, and tonight we will have our annual lobster & steak dinner with our next-door neighbors. I also wrote a poem for my mum. Do you want to read it? Of course you do.

-

You always sit and talk with me
Whenever I feel low;
You protect me from the elements:
From sun, from rain, from snow.

The gratitude is always there
Although you may not see it;
Even when it is not Mother’s Day
My appreciation is “legit.”

I cannot even express in verse
All that I have to say,
But I just wanted you to know
That it doesn’t just last for today.

I love you with all my heart,
Or wherever Love might lie;
Perhaps it’s actually in the stomach
Or maybe the left eye.

I’m not sure exactly where Love lives,
But I know this to be true:
There’s a special place in that appendage
Reserved for loving you.

(It's not amazing, but of course she absolutely loved it, because I'm a terrible daughter and I almost never let her read anything that I write.)

As always, readers, you can tell us your story in the comments!

Happy Mother's Day!

Good morning Curly Fries (and our super followers)! If you didn't already know, today is mother's day. We should all be honoring our mothers today, but in case you forgot, here is a poem that you can print out and give to your mommy to tell her how much you love her!

Mommy I Love You
Mommy, I love you
For all that you do.
I'll kiss you and hug you
'Cause you love me, too.
You feed me and need me
To teach you to play,
So smile 'cause I love you
On this Mother's Day.
Nicholas Gordon
