Anniversary, yo! Zomg I spelled that correctly!!! It /hasn't/ been a waste of a year!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, YOU GUYS <3 <3 <3 <3

YAY! We did it!

hooray!

A'ight. So what had happened was...

We were sitting at lunch, right? And we were bored because we were in middle school, and that's about all middle school seems ever to be for. Then the lights dimmed. Only a single brilliant beam of light shone down upon our dear Momo, who was suddenly struck with an idea. What about a collab blog? Kind of like the Five Awesome Girls of YouTube, except the Six Something Somethings of Some Blogging Site?

The six no-lifers were overjoyed at this concept. Writing? ZOMG FUN.

After much debate, they settled on House's idea for a name, the Six Little Curly Fries {capitalising "the" being optional}. Figuring internet anonymity would be a good thing, they chose nicknames quickly.

Magically, they each wanted different days. Hoorayyyy.

And so—after a little bit of site debate—this blog was borned.

After 365 days, the six had not made any major advances on getting actual lives, but the blog lived on. It now even has a couple of regular readers. They're still confused how that happened...

P.S. I still can't spell "anonymity," however. Nor can I pronounce it without rather embarrassing difficulty DX

Yayyy!

Today has been a pretty fun day. This week was spirit/theme week at our school, today being "retro day." I wore one of my aunt's old skirts and got lots of compliments, yay. Also, a lot of our teachers seemed in weirdly good moods... which is kind of worrying.

I got to finish off the afternoon with xiy, which can only be a good thing. usually.unless it's about 9HD.

We sat in the library and made edits to Virgil's beautiful story, which can be found somewhere to the right of this post. You all are very welcome. (Sorry for any silly mistakes... there was a rather irritating librarian behind xiy and I. She was bothering us to hurry up so she and the {less irritating} librarians could shut down and go home.) 

You're probably getting bored with my rambling, so I'll leave you soon. But first, a Dichotomous Key:

I now hand the post over to my fellow Curly Fries...
Goodbye, Friday! It has been so much fun :)

With all due respect,

House.

<3 Lynda:

<3 Virgil: I'm second!!! Woohoo!! That dichotomous key is amazing. I like #6. Haha. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO EVERYONE!!! I, unlike Momo, believed 100% that we would make it this far ^_^ because I'm an optimist. I'm excited to assume my new post as the Tuesday-poster (AHH IT'S PUN) and I'm SO PUMPED for our party at Momo's house. And Starship. OMG. And I might have another surprise (besides the fanfic, which you should all go read). I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! <3

<3 Momo: I'M FIRST!!!!!!!!! Gosh. I had to do that ^ thing twice before I got it right. You wanna know why? Because 11 does not equal 16. oops. my b. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! I remember when we had our first monthiversary, I boldly declared that I didn't think we'd ever last this long but if we did, it would be SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!! So, yeah. Tomorrow, at our party, we will be enjoying more gifts, partying, STARSHIP!!!, food, and the awesomeness of each other. Yay! I am so pumped. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

<3 xiy: I'm. . .third! But! Third is a perfectly respectable position, especially when there are six total Curly Fries, which means that the third person is the halfway point. :D Anyway, ONE-YEAR=FANTABULOUSNESS. I am so very happy we made it this far. It's totally awesome. ♫ Tomorrow's going to be very fun, and I'm quite excited, and oh gosh just FLAILSQUEE. I LOVE THE 6LCF. Yayyyyyyyyyy! ^.^

<3 Carrie: *reminiscent sigh* It feels like only yesterday... sitting at lunch with the other 5. Oh, what wonderful memories!!! :D And tomorrow we gonna PAR-TAY!!! At Momo's house :D excitingexcitingexciting!!! this weekend is about to be AWESOME! anyway, I loooooove my fellow curly fries and all of their awesomeness. And just how flipping FANTASTIC this whole entire year has turned out to be :) I would have never expected it to last this far. (well, I totally did, but I want to say that I didn't so that my reflection has "depth". :P )

(Also: Here is pt. II of xiy's anniversary-themed drawings (pt. I being the banner up thar) :

clarifications

Wassup.

So. It has come to my attention this week that there are a few basic things that I thought, like, a ton of people know. But apparently not a ton of people know these things, since I've noticed more than a ton of people get these things rather wrong this week.


1) Our pretty picture.
If you're looking at the banner that is up ^there right now (February 4th, 2011), you'll see a prettyful banner with six figures against a sky with nice-looking text beneath them and four little doodles under the text. This was drawn recently by our very own xiy. The figures (from left to right) are Virgil, me, xiy, Momo, Carrie, and Lynda. Take note of the intentional "beauty mark" on Lynda's cheek. "Six Little Curly Fries" is the name we've given our little clique-thing. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" is a famous quote among all of us nerds that was said by Adam Savage, a most beastly MythBuster. We've adapted the quote to fit nicely with our blog. The doodles at the bottom are as follows, again left to right: Hector the unicorn, curly fries and sparkling grape juice[/wine], Archie the sheep, and my purple dinosaur (Kitty) that Momo kindly acquired for me.

[Thank goodness we've gotten that figured out.]


2) PLEASE and THANK YOU and EXCUSE ME
Proper manners. Come on, people.
I'm not asking y'all to attend tea every afternoon on the freakin dot. I'm not making you wear petticoats or suspenders or  sunbonnets to protect your delicate complexion. No, I just would love it if I could remind you for a second to remember the basic manners you learned in pre-school/kindergarten/goodness forbid at home.

-Grabbing is generally not acceptable except for dire situations. For example, if there is a small duckling about to be hit by an oncoming train that has been overtaken by death eaters, then you don't need to ask the duckling for permission before you save its precious, fuzzy life. In most all other cases, please say "please." It makes one sound far less greedy than one who says "gimme."

-When you're the one who's been fortunate enough to have been helped out by someone with a kind heart, it is best to show your appreciation by saying "thank you," "thanks," or something of the sort. By doing so, you make yourself seem far less of a butt and a little more like someone worth helping out again sometime in the future. (You're welcome.)

-Excuse me. There are many cases in which it would be appropriate to excuse yourself, but let's focus on just one fun scenario. Say you're sitting at a table with a few friends. You've been drinking a lot of soda, and your tummy's gurgling a little bit. Suddenly, you feel it. And there ain't no stopping you now. You belch. And boy, that was really frikkin loud.
Now what do you do? Well, the person I'd most likely be willing to ever dine with again would excuse themselves. "Excuse me," "pardon," and "sorry," are all acceptable. Might I note here that merely giggling at the brilliant-sounding fanfare you've just produced is... no.


3) Egypt.
Egypt? Like, with the pyramids? Isn't there, like, stuff going on there? Yes, Egypt-with-the-pyramids. And yes, they're dealing with quite a bit at the moment. If you're asking—and I dearly hope you're not—what Egypt's dealing with [since you haven't heard anything and lolz was totally right about the pyramids, score!, and wait wait wait I thinkkkkk something on the news but then, like, it was boring so you flipped back to 16 and Pregnant for a daily dose of schadenfreude*], then I would highly recommend that you to do a Google search on Egypt. Or ask a buddy. Or something. Just don't be like so many of sunshiney children at my school who have absolutely no frikkin idea what.so.ever.


*deep breath*
that's all for today, darling. If you were already nice and updated on these three things, I apologise. But ohmygoodness they have been bugging me all week long.

With all due respect,
House


*hahahahaha I totally spelled that right on the first try. winner.
