Goodness. Posting has been going slowly decreasing every week. What's going on, you guys? Where's the spark to write and post and blog that we used to have. Even though we're all rather busy, it doesn't mean we can't take a few minutes to write a weensy post.
My birthday was yesterday! It was very nice. House, Virgil, Lynda, and xiy decorated my locker (a lot) and I got lovely gifts from family and friends.
Every year since I was very little, my mom has told me about the story of when I was "boring" (when I was little I got being born and being boring mixed up). My mom told it to me again last night. Isn't weird to think that at some point we used to be little balls of fat that couldn't talk or see very well or think for ourselves and now we're learning college-level material. It really blows me away.
In my English class, we are studying transcendental-era writing from Walden, Emerson, Thoreau etc. We have a project in which we must give one luxury up and add a beneficial thing to our lives. I gave up eating candy and sweets and junk food (BAD IDEA) and added yoga-type things. I don't wanna do it!!!!
Okay. My tummy hurts. I'm gonna stop now.
That was lame post.
BUT I POSTED.

The Stoa of Zeus and...HELLO, I'm back :)
Hey y'all. Missed me and my lovely southern-y ways of greeting? Even though I'm a northerner? (I'm serious, I'm from the North of China...lulz) Anyways!
I was gone from the internet for a long time. I was working on the Greek project so I needed internet, and now I am making use of my internet access to write y'all a post! Woohoo!
It shan't be a long post as my computer time is almost up, but that's okay, because any words of wisdom coming from my mature and 16 YEARS OLD (Happy belated Birthday to me, anyone?) lips will be greatly appreciated by y'all. RIGHT? * intimidating glare* RIGHT.
So my Greek project is on the Stoa of Zeus. Ever heard of it? No. There are like, 2 legitimate websites that contain information that is even slightly credible about this sketchy stoa stuff (see the alliteration?), and one of them cites the other as a source. Hello??? Anyone find that weird? So I used my amazing skills of super-clicking to click through the Google search pages until I reached 2 more credible pages (FYI, they were on pages 57 and 59). Surprise surprise guys, they both cited the first website. Whatever. As long as my presentation goes well and I get an A, I'm fine with it.
So. The time has come for me to say goodbye and farewell to you faithful readers (who don't leave any comments...except House's dad-HI HOUSE'S DAD!). I have Greek tomorrow (dur), so I need my beauty sleep. Especially since my SWEET SIXTEEN year has begun. Need to look glamorous to attract 'em lads like bees to honey!
'night.
Luv,
Lynda

I LOVE BIRTHDAYS! :D
AAAHHHHH!!!!! IT'S LYNDA'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! :D OMG! She's like, the oldest now. :P ♥ WE LOVE YOU LYNDA! And here's a little celebratory song: ♫ Haaaappy biiirthdayyy too youuuu! Happy birthdayyy to youuu! Happy birthdayyyy, dearrrr LYNDAAAAAAA!!!! Happy birthdayyyyy too youuuu!!!!! ♪♫
YAYY! I wuv birfdays. :3
I have had a very wonderful day with my momma! We went out to put together my brother, who is currently in Afghanistan as some of you may know, a care package. So, it's been a long day but a very fun one! :D
Ew, I had to go to Wal-mart today. I don't really like Wal-mart, but this one was alright. It was enough for me to handle at least. All the stores I went to today were exceptionally alright, obviously some more than others. Like, the Subway we went to for lunch actually had a white guy working there. Oh, I know, that sounds so awful to say but it is true. Most Subways I've ever been to have only had black/ Indian people working there, so this was a slight shock. But it was yummyful as always. :)
FUDGE YOU, BLOGGER!!!!)
Meh, Carrie just did a stupid move and ended up deleting the second half of her post :(
but anyways, after that, we went to a book store, which was kind of boring because we only looked for things for my brother and not actually books. but on the bright side, I got new earphones. :1 they're lovely. (Meh, my shift key is not working like I'd like it to, >:( ) Speaking of books, how was book club? Do we have a new assignment? Who even went?
So, um, I'm just gonna go now. yeah? yeah. KAY. BAI!
DFTBA! ♥
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie
HAPPY BIRFDAY, LYNDA!!! :D I am going to work on your prezzie tonight, and then mail it to you. :) and it's going to be so wonderful!

Before I start the meat of this post, I want to wish Carrie the happiest birthday evarrr!!!
I know xiy made an awesome banner (because I saw it, like, a month ago in bio) that should be put up soon! :D
The Meat of the Post:
For the longest time, I've been thinking about doing some sort of poll or something about "What do you know about the Curly Fries" type thing. Until recently, I've never actually been able to think of a fun and exciting format. However, I decided some time last week that I would just keep it simple. Here are the rules: There are 21 questions/statements about the curly fries listed below. In the comments, write the number of the question and the name of the person it describes best. For example:
Ex. 1) Which curly fries' name begins with the letter that sounds most like the Greek letter mu?______

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMMY!!!
Today was my mommy's birthday. So...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAREST MOMMY!
*cough* so...yeah.
The weather's getting cold, eh? I'm going to have to use blankets soon.
Oh, and, uh, I've put in a thingy (HTML code) where the blog automatically plays music when you go to the page...so, if you don't like it, just scroll down, and there is a pause button on the left. Just click it. The song is "Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts" by Starkid for those of you people who don't know. Catchy song. Uhm, just a little note: THE SONG USES EXPLETIVES (like, in the middle). VIEWER LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
Uhm...so...our APUSH essay results came (at least, Virgil, xiy, and mine)...and...I really don't like mine. I hate it, in fact. But that's all I'm going to say on that topic, because it irritates me to think about it.
So the theme (are we still doing that?) is sort of like, writings from our young days? Eh, here's my story, lovingly penned in purple gel pen--my 'lucky pen', in my diary. I'll just type it up for y'all, eh? It's copied word for word, without any additional editing. So...xiy, beware, there's like, a ton of comma things that you'll cringe at (more so than my current comma problem :)).
Ellian Genine
Once upon a time there was a princess who loved a prince but her father would not allow it.
"BUT FATHER I love him!"
"NO!" Knock Knock
"Your Magesty . You have a message from King Hall and Queen Senia."
"You are invited to dinner." So when King Genine (her father) left she sneaked off with her beloved and got married. King Genine was actually quite happy!
"I love you" was what Ellian told Mike her husband.
THE END
lol. I have no idea what the point of the story was. I don't understand why King Genine is suddenly okay with the whole thing. I also don't like the name "Mike" much. That's funny that I used it, because (can you tell?) I tend to come up with unique and bizarre and exotic-ish names for my characters. Eh. I definitely wasn't a good writer in 2005. Yes, I know the exact date, it's part of a diary entry. Shall I write the rest of the entry? It's rather rude. I feel like I should have a talk with my younger self about manners...but then, it is a diary (which I actually update, occasionally--though for a while, I had a text file for my diary. I password locked it, and then typed diary entries. I believe Momo tried to hack it at one point...didn't work though).
CONTINUATION OF LYNDA'S DIARY ENTRY on MARCH 9th, 2005:
Well I should tell you: Mrs. M (abbreviation of her name) is our (one of) lunch ade, she is fat and mean she won't even let us play with dirt! I hate her! Any way tomorrow is a test so, bye!
Love, Me
Oh...I had such a lovely little heart, so filled with childish anger and hatred of people who didn't let me do what I wanted. I think that lunch aide didn't want us (Momo, xiy, and me (and...House? I don't remember...) to play in the bushes, and we wanted to make little elf forts. Those were the days...we had recess back then...*sigh*
Well, g'night. Tomorrow is Greek >.< I get to review about more stuff I don't remember in the slightest. *half-hearted cheer* yay!
Luv, Lynda

birthday and not much else
Holy snoodeboppers what happened? Blogspot, you got yoself a makeova! Maybe I'll actually like you a bit now :D
Hey, guys.
Last Friday was my birthday! Wasn't that exciting!
xiy drawded me the most beautiful picture!! Did you all see it? It's really cute :]
To celebrate getting through another whole gosh darn year of life, I got to take our very first APUSH essay test of the year! Lynda and Virgil already seem... less than 100% pleased with their grades. Oh boy. This will be fun >.< At least we have a whole year to get acclimated and improve, yeah?
But then I got to finish my day off with a tremendously hot, wonderful game of Friday night football! And the band marched fantastically! And the band played fantastically! And the team played well! Gah, so exciting.
The Six Little Curly Fries are gonna try to do a legit book club thing this year, which is also exciting. The first book we'll be reading is Room by Emma Donoghue. I'm like super duper excited about reading this book ^.^ From what I've heard/read/seen, it's a really legit novel. Also, last year, I felt like the school got really jammed up with work and things, so I wasn't able to take time aside to do fun things like read on my own. I hope this book club thing works out; I think it would be really great to stay, like, actively reading through the year :)
Anyway, that's all I've really been up to lately.
Sorry for the short post. It's been a long week >.<"
With all due respect,
House.

Happy Birthday, House!
Alright now, let's all sing it together:
♫ Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you; happy birthday, dear Hou-ouseeeeeee~; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! ♪
I actually drew this banner way back in July, because I was really bored and had nothing better to do at medical camp. Well, I did the sketch at medical camp, not the coloring. I did the coloring at home. ^.^
And Blogger's changed to be all pretty and clean and white
It's September now, but apparently the weather hasn't gotten the message yet. It was ~90F today, and the third floor of our school gets ridiculously hot in that sort of weather. And I just so happen to have French last period, which means I get to trek up the sweltering staircase (you can practically feel the steam; it was so humid today that paper started feeling soggy by the end of every class period) to a sweltering-er classroom while we reviewed the imperfect tense. Arrrgh.
But then it'll get cooler next week (I hope), so it'll all be good.
In Bio today, we had to do a lab about pillbug behavior. Momo, Virgil, and I named our ten pillbugs; the littlest one was Roanoke (the fattest one was Winthrop, the most rebellious was Anne Hutchinson, the two that looked most like each other were John Green and Hank Green, the skinniest was Delaware, the misfit-est was King George, and the meekest one was Canada), and it ended up dying, funnily enough. The pillbug we replaced it with was named Jamestown. :P
We were supposed to put the pillbugs in two petri dishes connected by a sort of hole-tunnel thing cut out of each dish so that they could move freely between the two (it kind of worked, but they kept escaping--Anne Hutchinson especially). A wet sheet of filter paper was put in one and a dry sheet in the other; apparently, the bugs were supposed to exhibit taxis and prefer the wet over the dry, but it didn't really work, because they just sort of wandered randomly.
(The wet-sheet dish was England and the dry one was America, because it always rains in England and because most of the bugs had American names anyway.)
And that's about it for today, I think.

Gahhhh. So. Tired. NeedSleepNow.
But I can't! D:
I had such a busy day. 4/6 Curly Fries had their first marching band show today. (Yes, I was one of the 4 involved.) It was much fun. However, it was very hot and many of us almost passed out from heat. -.- *Cough cough* Me, myself, and I. *cough* And little freshman like to poke their flip folders and lyres into my spine, even after I turn around and give them dirty looks. *Mumble, mumble*
It was also my momma's birthday today! :D I plan on celebrating it tomorrow though. Since today I had the football game and then we went my aunt's for ice cream cake and dinner. Mmmmm....
Now that I think about it, not much happened today.
DFTBA! ♥
k.bai.
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

Keep Calm and FIND THE QUILL
Hello.
Today is July 31st, which is a day to be celebrated across the world! First of all, it's my boyfriend's birthday (happy birthday!). Second of all, it's J. K. Rowling's birthday (!!!). Third of all, it's Harry Potter's birthday (zomg). AND today was the first of seven days on which clues [that can leadno-lifer nerds users to access Pottermore early] are released! Zomg so many exciting things!!!
I spent the past week waking up obscenely early, slaving away from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, which means this week I'll be waking up obscenely early, slaving away from 9:00 am to 11:00 am, which means this is the week before tryouts! Ahhh! (My personal favorite portion of tryout day is when we're told to run laps around the fieldinfinitely until the coach tells us to stop. As we're dying running, the coach will blow a whistle periodically, signaling to us to start [and then stop] sprinting.)
So, yeah. Besides soccer and muddling through summer homeworkand Tumblr, I haven't been up to much. Just sorta melting away in the heat. (I got a very pretty watch today, which I'm quite happy about. It's shiny; I think Lynda would definitely approve. [It also didn't cost very much, which she would also defo approve of ^.^])
*sighs* and now it is my bedtime. Have a good week, guys.
With all due respect,
House.

It's Virgil's BIRFDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today (this very day) is Virgil's (our very own Virgil's) BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was decided earlier that we would leave the site as is (you know, Potter festivities are sort of Virgil's thing) but there will be a new picture (possibly banner) going up soon. AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIRGIL!!!!! We all love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! I miss you loads and just reading about reading camp made me feel like I like I was reading about some amazing person that I could only dream of meeting. BUT GUESS WHAT? I actually know you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gah!!!! You just make me wanna bounce up and down. Especially since it's your birthday. I bought you a special present, too (just letting you know). GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was telling all my friends at school today that one of my best friends' birthday is today and they sort of stared at me. I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. Have an awesome day.
**************
The rest of this post is back to normal Momo:
So, as I have already announced many times, I am in Germanland. Last week was such horrible weather (cold and rainy and gray) but, luckily, things have cleared up. Just in time for school. Bah.
School has been great so far. All the kids (all girls except for 5 boys) are SUPER nice. They all ask me questions like, "What are pilgrims?" and "Are there really cheerleaders?" which normally continues as " Wait, wait, wait. Like, they're real?!?" and I laugh and nod. And then they ask me, "Do you really have the same classes every day?" and I nod and they almost faint.
They are so funny.
It's also lovely because I know most of the stuff that they are doing since we're already done with school.
I love how esily impressed everyone is. I went to band yesterday and sight read music from "West Side Story" and they were all astounded.
I also love the teachers. They barely ever give homework and they are so interested with me. The Latin teacher found it astounding when I told him (and the class. Whenever I talk to a teacher, it becomes really quiet) that I translated Latin into English which I then translate into German.
I just love everything here.
I love the scheduling most of all, though. Every day is a different set of classes starting at 8:00 and going (normally) until 1:00. Some days, like Tuesday, for example, start and hour later. Some days, like today, go until 1:00 with an hour break and then continue until four. But the bestest of all are the days, like tomorrow, that start at 8:00 and end around 10:00.
I really do miss all of you, though. I hope you are all having fun, productive summers!!! :)
Happy birthday, Virgil!!!!!
Secret Message? Blah. Don't feel in the mood.

This is Already Getting to be a Super Monday!
First of all, I would like to with Momo's Sister and Virgil's Sister a happy birthday!!!! [My sister said to add in Taylor Swift too]. Second, I would like to point out that this is the 205th post and nobody noticed the 200th post! :O That's okay. Third of all, and most importantest:
WE HAVE A SNOW DAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEE!
Which means that the Winter Holiday Special is also probably on!! This is so exciting! I happened to have my video camera out when a snow day was announced. This my sister's and my reaction (you may want to turn the volume down a few notches):
I will update this post later with the Winter Holiday Special stuff later...Now it's off to scream some more!
UPDATE: The winter holiday has been canceled because people either A.) Have to babysit B.) Are prevented by parents or C.) They/their parents are wimps and afraid of the snow (jk). Not, but seriously, though. You people are really indecisive..

Happy 9th Birthday, Virgil!!
I was a very strange eight-year-old, but I think that I got even stranger when I turned nine. Here is my diary entry for my ninth birthday.
Happy Bday to Me!
Thursday, June 30, 2005 <3 <3 <3
Dear Bonnie the Bunny, (that's what I named my journal don't judge!!)
I an nine years old! I can't believe it! Well, all of the news is good. The party was fun, for guests. For me it was horrible. (Cue the preteen angst) When we went in the pool, nobody would let me play with them. The cake was delicious... not! Well, at least I got really good presents. [insert crush's name here] got me a dolphin mobile! I counted, and I have fifty-five dollars worth of certificates, checks, and gift cards!
Sincerely,
Dolphin Girl (Yes, that is how I signed off every journal entry. Stop judging.)
P.S. I'm going to New Jersey tomorrow!!
Most of the entries are basically like this. I titled every one of them (titles like "Off to the Library!" and "Lemonade Stand!"
Not only did I whine about my day, but I also planned future novels. Here is an outline for a future bestseller called "Puppy Love."
Puppy Love
Summary
A family decides to adopt a puppy. Puppy grows up. Dog gets fats, too slow. Dog sadly gets run over by a car. Little girl saves the puppies that were in the middle of being delivered when the car hit.
I'm not sure why a pregnant dog in the middle of labor would be in the street, but yeah, that's the story.
This is the entry that I wrote after I first started reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It's a few days after the release date because we had only ordered one copy so I had to let my older sister read it first. (When the seventh one came on, we ordered two copies so I wouldn't have to go through that kind of torture again.)
Disaster
Wednesday, July 20, 2005 <3 <3 <3
Dear Bonnie the Bunny,
Today was filled with disaster. Not a big disaster, just lots of little ones. Like the power going on and off, the air conditioning not working, things like that. Well, Carol finished Harry Potter, so I started reading it. I also finished my needlepoint. I have already started to work on the one that I got yesterday, it has a really cute baby leopard on it.
Sincerely,
Dolphin Girl (Stop judging!!! Stop!!!)Okay, I'll stop embarrassing myself now. Bye.
Peace,
Virgil

The Fencing Drinking Game
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOMO!
:D
We ♥ You!
--
Today, the fencing coach was late. Virgil, Momo, and I spent that time devising a drinking game for fencing practice.
Some Notes: The size of a "drink" is under a lot of debate; for our purposes here, it'll be about the equivalent of a good-sized shot glass. If you so wish, you may also interpret a drink as a giant mug.
The size of a "bottle" is along the lines of an average wine bottle. Once again, if you wish to enlarge the quantity, go for it.
For those who are legally and medically allowed to drink alcohol, do so.
For those who aren't (i.e., all of the Curly Fries as of right now), substitute alcohol for the beverage of your choice.
We are not responsible for anything that happens if/when you get drunk.
THE FENCING DRINKING GAME
One drink if. . .
- You get a chest protector that's too big.
- Somebody says the t-word [aka "think"].
- You're off-target.
- China is mentioned.
- Politics are mentioned.
- Any of the fencing people tries to sound smart and fails.
- There are only left-hand gloves when you need a right-hand one.
- None of the fencing jackets (vests? suits?) fit.
- Somebody takes the foil/epee/saber you usually use.
- You stop while running stairs/around the school oval/around the courtyard.
- You say "fence" instead of "swordfight" when refereeing.
- The scary-fencing-eleven-year-old called Goyle* (not his real name) screams/yells/shouts/makes an exclamatory remark once.
- Your helmet/jacket (vest? suit?) is stained with mysterious colors and/or congealed goo.
- Goyle screams/yells/etc. more than twice in a row (meaning yelling twice or more without actually talking in a normal voice in between).
- You say the t-word and don't get caught [a celebratory drink].
- You say the t-word and do get caught [an "oh-woe-is-me" drink].
- The coach is between ten and thirty minutes late.
- Every single gym bathroom is locked and you are forced to walk up to the first floor to relieve yourself.
- Somebody takes the foil/epee/saber you usually use and it takes longer than two minutes to find a suitable replacement.
- You end up with the biggest chest protector [i.e., the one so big it has breathing holes].
- Goyle goes the entire practice without talking once in a normal voice.
- You slip and fall down in an undignified fashion.
- You manage to run the entire oval [i.e., 3/4 mile] without stopping.
- The coach is over thirty minutes late.
- The coach tells you to do jackknives.
- The SFEYO best at dodgeball** manages to get out.
- The SFEYO best at dodgeball gets you out.
- You get somebody out at dodgeball [only for the people who are really bad at throwing].
- The only right-hand glove left is ancient, crusty, wrinkled, cracked, discolored, or a combination of the above.
- The only jacket (suit? vest?) left is five sizes too big or three sizes too small.
- You get the SFEYO best at dodgeball out.
- You manage to get through the entire round of dodgeball without getting out once [for the people bad at dodging].
- You accidentally stab an innocent passerby.
*So called because of Goyle of AVPM/AVPS, who displays the tendency to shout a lot and dramatically.
**Technically called something along the lines of "zhoozhee"; Momo, please tell me the correct spelling. Apparently, it's a Chinese game. It's not exactly dodgeball, but close enough.
Further Notes: "SFEYO," if you are not already aware, stands for "scary fencing eleven-year-old."
If you are drinking alcohol for this game, believe me, it is very easy to get drunk. So, once again, don't hold us responsible for anything you happen to do or say if or when you get drunk from this game.
That is all.

The Last Birthday of the Year
That's right (see title)! My birthday is tomorrow!! Yippee! I hope you all bought me ponies or else I will be quite annoyed. Just kidding! I'm excited!!
House went to Paris today and she is skipping school 'cause she's cool like that.
I have so much work to do for this mock trial in Global Studies! I have to write questions (I'm an attorney) and I was reading this one speech and it sounded rather professional, especially for this kid. I searched the first words on this school data-base thing and sure enough, there it was. The exact same article! People these days...
Did I mention that it's my birthday tomorrow!! And the last day of NaNo even though we're all done. I just came back from dinner with my awesome neighbors and it was delicious. They gave me this fancy clay that doesn't dry out unless you bake it. I want to use it right now!!!!! Aaah!
Alright. That's all. Wasn't that a great post? Not.
IT'S MY BIRFDAY TOMORROW!
-Momo
P.S. xiy's banner is AMAZING!

heyheyheyy!
Hello there!
side-note from reality: Okay, seriously? Does it take a big deal to ask someone if their laundry is ready? Geez, I KNOW when I put it in. >.< Yeah, thought so...
^Lawlz. That's what she said.^_^
I'mmmmm hungry. And I wanna watch a movie. OMG! So today would've been the day that I went to go see HP7 but instead I went... 4 days ago. And it was FRICKIN' AMAZING! I had to keep reminding myself that there was a part 2 because I was anticipating the end so badly. OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART TWOOOOO!!!!
Ugh, this computer is obnoxious and isn't letting me type. It also isn't registering whenever I hit the SHIFT button! 'Shift' + 'a' = a. NO! I want an uppercase letter. It's the beginning of a sentence! Grammar, people, please! *rant, mumble*
I want some noms. Noms would be very nice right now. But I'm a bit too lazy to go make some food, and I'm not sure what exactly we have to make. Ew. And I have to print out some school related stuff before I forget.
Guess who's birthday is coming up? [MOMO'S!] And guess who's prof. pic gave away the banner. My bad, guys, really. I just couldn't resist. And she would've seen it sooner or later anyways, right?
Yeah, so, that's about it.
Tschau! (< way of saying good-bye in German. Pronounced like 'ciao')
DFTBA!♥
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie

Why?
My post is going to be similar to Momo's post. Except that the format will be in "WHY"'s, and lots of ranting.
****
SIDENOTE: I realized after writing this post that it's split into two parts. One for complaints, and one for HAPPY things. The complaints are in "WHY" format, and the happy things are strung in one huge run-on sentence that my English teacher and xiy and House would be appalled at...if it wasn't so dang happy...If you would like to skip my very interesting and fun(ny) ranting, please scroll down...you should be able to see the rather large words :) Have fun reading!

WHY do teacher's think that they should give you tons of homework when it's THURSDAY? Is it 'cause they believe that it's the day before the day the shouldn't give homework (Friday), so "let's cram in as much stuff as we can before the day!"????????????
WHY is it necessary to gamble all of your points in Final Jeopardy?
WHY did my teammates find it necessary?
WHY did we fricking lose all the points, and then the "Blue Ninjas" won because they were smart enough to leave 100 points?
WHY did I not know the 5 countries/regions that were affected by the war?
WHY is Germany not part of the said "5 countries/regions that were affected by..." World War 1?
WHY is France not part of that^?
WHY is it that whenever I look at something for a while, my glasses start sliding down the non-existent bridge of my nose?
WHY do I have not have a bridge for my nose?
WHY is it that my brother feels like he has to cry EVERY FRICKING DAY for at least 10 minutes?
WHY is it that my sister feels the need to provoke my brother into crying?
WHY does my house feel freezing when I'm at home after school, and then when my parents come home, it warms up again?
WHY do I have to wake up so early tomorrow to go to Greek?
WHY do I keep bumping my head into things?
WHY does my elbow keep jamming into things?
WHY do I have chronic pain in my neck? ACTUAL pain. Like, I have a crik in it the WHOLE DAY.
WHY do I think that I just spelled "crik" wrong, and Firefox did not give it a red squiggly?
WHY did I forget what "chronic" meant?
WHY do I procrastinate to do my homework?
WHY do I have to have a vocab quiz in Greek tomorrow?
WHY do I have the world's most STUPID Physics teacher?
WHY does she dress like a 5 year-old? WHY is she so fricking stupid? WHY does she not know what she's teaching? WHY...etc.
WHY do I have an outline due on Monday that I haven't started yet? (20 or 30 PAGES!!!)
WHY is Momo such a cruel person? She tortured me! She told me the outline ^ was due on FRIDAY!!!
WHY...there's more, but I think this is long enough...
****

On a happier note, MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay AWAY from the format button!
Hello there!
Piece of advice: NEVER EVER press any button that is labeled 'format'. Bad things happen. *shutters* What bad experience has just happened to me you ask? Well, this morning I was lying in my bed, casually listening to music and attempting to put my MP3 on power save mood. You know that saying "curiosity killed the cat..."? Well, I came across this thing called 'format'. Wondering exactly what it would do, I pressed it and my music stopped. Thinking it was just a glitch or whatever, I go back to my music to turn it on again.
[empty]
huh...?
wait, WHAT?!
>.< ...mkanskjbdkjalhf... *ramble, rant, ramble*
So, here I am, sitting on my bed, blowing my nose every 10 seconds, and downloading every last song onto my magical, portable player of music (and some new stuff off of iTunes :D )Did I mention that I'm [still] sick? Yeah, no fun. ._. *cough* *sneeze* Meh...
I wasn't feeling well on Monday, so I left school early...erm, earlier... and just went home. And yesterday, I was having a pretty lousy day, just not a good day to begin with and I was sick. And this morning I woke up all congested and stuff, so I asked my mom if I could stay home and I did.
Now, I just continue to download music (I believe sync is the correct term for this but whatever) and be sick. Stupid germs. >.<
LYNDA'S BIRTHDAY IS IN 2 DAYS! ! Ain't that exciting?
HARRY POTTER COMES OUT IN 2 DAYS !!!! Doesn't that just double the excitement?
I'm not going to see it. :( Well, not yet anyway. :) I think Virgil wants me to read the books first... or at least learn the story line.
Uhhh...
Oh, yeah!
HAPPY [almost] TURKEY DAY! Yummy yummy noms. ^_^ You know, I've always wondered, who *doesn't* celebrate Thanksgiving? Is it, like, one of those universal holidays were everyone is just kind of "programmed" to celebrate it? I guess everyone outside of the USA doesn't... that would make a lot of sense. But inside the US, does just majority of the population celebrate Turkey Day? Anyway, I'm excited for that, too. Even though I almost always get sick. Lovely. My stomach just can't handle all of the food.. wow, it sounds like I have some sort of food disorder. I don't, I promise... Um, yeah.
Guess who's [finally!] downloading their last CD. :D Woohoo!
I hope all is well and that you don't get what I have. It feels like my head is about to explode... ehhh.
DFTBA!♥
Oh, my gosh. A *long-ish* post from Carrie?!?!?! Crazy stuff.
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie
