Hey :D

"We've got to hold on to what we've got/Cause it doesn't make a difference/If we make it or not/We've got each other, and that's a lot/For love... well, give it a shot/Whoooahhhhhhhhh, we're half way thereeeee/Oooooohhhhhhhhh, livin' on a prayer!!"

Hello ^_^

Busy busy busy day! Our school's marching band [I play picc; Virgil and Carrie are on flute; Momo's clarinet] had our debut appearance today, and we, like, totally rocked it, so my day started out pretty well. Then I had to go the eye doctor's because my contacts are being butts and going all dry and crap on me, but whatever. It's all cool now. (Ooh, and I started a new blog that's more laid back than my one that I've got going now [which has become 60+ drafts of 3/4 written posts... hehe, oops]. Teehee. Sssh.)
Anyway... yeah. (I know this is really really late in posting, but I haven't really had much computer access for the past bit. Forgivesies? :) )

Oooh, and I just spent, like, five and a half hours with my fellow Curly Fries [plus our honorary Curly Fry BFF, Lee]! They're off pulling an all-nighter together. (I left early because I haven't been feeling too great all week, and zero sleep isn't really a fabulous idea right now :) ) I wish them luck on their trek with staying up until much much much later today! Stay strong, girls :) [But if you, like, NEED the sleep, totally go for it. It's all good.] We are going to bury a time capsule with memorabilia from the past couple years, and we're gonna dig it up in about four-ish years. I contributed some of my and Virgil's old band music, a souvenir from a field trip Momo, xiy, and my class went on, and one of the first papers we planned out this blog (the 6LCF blog!) on. Pretty sweet ^_^

[If any of the other 6LCF want to say anything about how the all-nighter is going/went, feel free to say so here. If not, I'm sure Virgil will fill us in later on :)
Lee-hi im tired bye
Momo- Gah!!!! It's almost 5am and we're still up!!! We just watched baby fetuses and stuff. It was really fun. I am so tired. Can't. Wait. Till. Sunrise.
xiy- Neeeeeeeeeeh. There are no words.
Agh. It's painful, staying up this late. We had toast, though, at three in the morning; I had strawberry jelly on mine. It was yummy. Right now, I'm subsisting on the cheese dregs from the pizza we had earlier.
Neeeh. x.X
Carrie-meeehhhh. kgljdabnjgjkglanvjklfyhu... meeehhhh. >.< It's 5 AM. Fun. ^_^
Lynda-*yawn* The sun had better rise fast...I'm going to bed when it does...for 4 hours....it had better rise pretty frickin' fast...REALLY FAST....*last thought going through conscious* RISE SUN, RISE!!!!!!
Virgil- I'm not actually all that tired....a flkfj lafhdljdg *falls asleep on keyboard*

With all due respect,
House (and the rest of the Curly Fries, plus Lee)

The Second 3-Digit Post!

I dead. 

Haha! I tricked you all!!!! I'm not dead! I am just extremely hot and tired and hungry and possibly a bit sunburned. Day 2 of band camp is over, and I am starting to feel the burn (literally). Namely in my shoulders, neck, calves, and stomach. Today was mostly outside, with the exception of lunch and a run-through of the songs. We got assigned to our squads and marched in pretty designs. I think the final product will be really cool, but the whole practicing everything x100 and memorising music just doesn't seem too...appetizing...for me. *sigh*

On a completely different note:

This Friday the 6LCF are having a sleepless-over! (woot) We are planning an all-nighter at my house...possibly in a shed in my back yard. I don't want to spoil what we'll be doing...but it will not involve sleep. I am too tired to write. Maybe I'll add something later.

This little tidbit thing was added almost 1 hour after the initial post. I JUST HAD AN IDEA!!!! We should make a 6LCF time capsule at the sleepless-over! We could bury it somewhere and then in twenty years or something, we could dig it up and see the stuff that we buried. That's all.

VIRGIL'S GONNA HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!!!

*Giggles Mischievously*

Happy 3rd of July!!!!
...wait, what? 
Indeed, it has always irked me how people refer to American Independence Day as "The Fourth of July." It's kind of weird when you think about it in the context of other holidays.

"So what'd you get for the twenty-fifth of December?"
"Dobby knitted me some mismatching socks, one with a pattern of Snitches and the other with a pattern of broomsticks. You?"
"Ugh, every twenty-fifth of December it's the same maroon sweater... hey, d'you think Dobby would like it?"


See?

Ahh, I feel so refreshed today. I couldn't sleep last night (I was too excited about the release of the very first Deathly Hallows movie poster - which is bloody amazing, I might add. It looks eerily similarly to the poster for Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, only instead of Hogwarts looking all serene and magical, it's on fire and in shambles.) so finally, after about two hours of being frustrated with myself for my insomnia, I decided that I'd read a bit of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. (That's where I currently am in my eternal cycle of rereading the series.) 

Oh, the nostalgia. I haven't read Book Four in so long, I had forgotten how epic it is. AND I noticed things that I don't recall noticing before. After the Yule Ball, couples giggling behind rosebushes? Snape busting them and taking points away from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw? Now THAT completely went over my head the last time I read it. The beetle that Harry sees is most obviously Rita Skeeter - now I feel extremely slow that I haven't caught on until now. The "Uranus" jokes in Divination had never before made sense to me. I think that Book Four was the one that the films got most wrong, because honestly, I was halfway through the book and I thought to myself, "Hmm, this bit is only about twenty minutes into the movie..." They skip the lovely antics that happen between the start-of-term feast and the arrival of the foreign guests. Who wouldn't love to watch students squeeze the pus from Bubotubers (a cure for more stubborn forms of acne - and I'm sure it has less side-effects than the pills I'm on) and I've always wanted to see how the films would portray a Blast-Ended Skrewt. Anyways, as I observed the very last vestiges of non-angsty Harry fade into the past, never to return, an idea suddenly struck me. 

I should just stay up all night.

You see, I've been on quite a ridiculous sleeping schedule all week - staying up until 1:00 am and sleeping until noon. I knew that I would have to get to sleep early on Saturday night (tonight) in order to get up early on Sunday morning, which is when I leave for Harlan. (Harlan is the place in Kentucky where the mission trip from my church will be building houses. When referring to the trip, people usually just say "oh, I'm excited for Harlan!") 

I figured that if I deprived myself of sleep, I'd be able to get to sleep earlier tonight, therefore... I dunno. My reasoning isn't very good at three in the morning. Whatever the reason, I stayed up literally all night reading Harry Potter... and I'm not tired. I feel exhilarated. I'm going to Hogwarts in less than two weeks. I'm going. It's been nearly three years overdue, but I don't even care. Pass the butterbeer. 

(I haven't told my parents about my all-nighter, so sshhhh!!!) 


Um... in other news, Serena Williams won the women's (um, Firefox? Yeah, "women's" is definitely a word...) final in Wimbledon, but Murray lost in the semis to Nadal, and none of you care about tennis, do you?
Speaking of tennis, I got a new tennis racket yesterday, and I named her Rafa. She's fantastic XD

Questions...
1) When was the last time you reread a Harry Potter book?
2) Have you seen the movie poster yet?
3) Are you as excited as I am? (The correct answer is "no")
4) Are you already working on getting your parents to let you go see the midnight premiere of Part 1, even though it's on a school night?
5) Can you tell that I have somewhat of a one-track mind at the moment?
6) Who's your favourite Harry Potter character?
7) Which is your favourite Harry Potter book?
8) Favourite Harry Potter movie (mine is Part 2 of Deathly Hallows, and yes, I acknowledge that it doesn't come out for a year)?
An extra-special bonus question for House: have you finished editing the Prologue yet? Virgil is getting impatient >.<


DFTBA,
PDBAZ,
Peace, Love, & Otters,


Virgil
