"That must've been a horrible day for them..."

Meh. Font color isn't working again. To the first person who reads this who is a Curly Fry, can you change the font color? I don't know why it's not showing up for me. :/

So anyway, I just finished watching King Kong with meine Mutter. It was... intense. And very long. 3 hours and 8 minutes.

It also reminded me a lot of Titanic. (Despite the fact that when they were getting on the ship to discover Skull Island, Titanic was right behind them.) It also was the same amount of time, and the same type of weather, when they crashed into the island and when Titanic crashed into the iceberg. Of course, King Kong is fictional... The ending is also the same. Spoiler alert: King Kong falls off the top of the building pretty much the same way as Jack fell into the ocean. Oh yeah, and Ann (the "Damsel in Distress") had a second love appeal named Jack. And they took place around the same time? It was just so coincidental. However, it was a FANTASTIC movie!

Well... almost fantastic. First off, I have come to the conclusion that no movie producer has ever passed physical science class. Anything that freaking big can NOT move that freaking fast. It's not possible in any way shape or form. Now maybe their strides CAN be that big, but there is no way that it can really run faster than a cheetah. And cheetah's are fast. It's the same thing for cells, the bigger they are, the more time things take to get to the middle. (Surface-area ratio or something like that?) Same thing with multi-cellular organisms: the bigger the animal, the more time it takes for the brain to react to a nervous signal.

And that was Carrie's science lesson of the day. Even though it's Saturday.

Another thing I didn't understand was why, when people are running frantically away from something that's gonna eat them, why they don't hide under a rock or something. Dig a hole, anything. But nooooo, they have to keep running and get themselves killed! Dumbbutts.

I would've hid.

Okay, well, I hope EVERYBODY had a fantastic Thanksgiving. :) And that you are thankful for everything in your lives. <3

DFTBA!♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,

Carrie

Happy Thanksgiving and Such

Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow curly fries. 

Isn't nice not having school (even if its only an extra 3 days off)? I've been enjoying myself with Greek Project (which, by the way, I've gone all out with) and Thanksgiving festivities. 

Today my family and I went to the Hard Rock Cafe to feed the homeless, a tradition of sorts, and hang out with church friends. Then we went to a family friend's house and enjoyed a MARVELOUS feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rutabaga, sweet potatoes, asparagus, beans, root veggies, bread, stuffing, and lots of other little things I didn't even have time to process through my body. We then sat around for flan, apple pie, pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and my sister's homemade pink buckeyes.All the while my sister and sat and played really funny games and bothered each other to death.

Next, we traipsed over to another family friend's house for more dessert. I didn't eat any but it was fun listening to the adults reminisce and our friend's elderly and extremely Alzheimer-y grandma be confused. I felt kind of bad laughing but she kept calling her own daughter the wrong thing and asked how many units were in their house and if it was a new house (they've only lived there 16 years). 

Now we're home and I feel like a balloon in the Macy's Day Parade.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING from all the Curly Fries! ♥

Thanks to our families and and friends and various long-suffering readers for putting up with us for another year!

yayyyy

No more school for the rest of the week! 

And I get to eat FOOD!! 

These are the reasons why I love Thanksgiving. 

Um, what's going on in life? I'm really behind on my NaNoWriMo. Gotta get caught up tonight. That's all that's on the agenda. I've already eaten plenty of junk food and I watched two episodes of Glee Season 1. It's all good stuff. 

Um. 

I don't have much to say today. 

I'm pretty confused right now. About like, life and stuff. 

Just so ya'll know, Math Teacher agrees with me that right-handed people are superior and left-handed people are just trying to be different so that they can complain about their awful, hand-smudged lives.

That is all.

Virgil

Today Is Sunday But We're Going to Pretend That It's Saturday

Hey, ya'll

I didn't post yesterday because I was with my family and it was Saturday and they don't do things on Saturdays and that would have been disrespectful. 

I had a nice Thanksgiving :) there was a lot of food. We did this jigsaw puzzle all in one night:

 Needless to say, it was pretty intense. There were a lot of yellow and white pieces. 

To make up for the fact that I forgot to tell you that I wouldn't be able to post on Saturday (note that I didn't forget to post; I merely forgot to tell ya'll that I would not be able to) I'll copy and paste a wee bit of my NaNoWriMo novel. It's at about 35k right now, and yes, today is November 28th. I'm in trouble. 


(This isn't the last bit that I wrote... the last bit that I wrote was some romantic word fluff. I'll spare you.)

“Can you hear it, too?” Gibraltar asked over the roaring wind.

            “Yes!” Ajax listened. He looked to the sky, and he saw a pair of eyes staring back at him. Then the words, “pair of eyes staring back at him appeared in the clouds” appeared in the clouds. Before long, the words faded away and were replaced by, “Before long, the words faded away and were replaced by another sentence,” –another sentence.

            Everything that happened was recorded in the sky: “Everything that happened was recorded in the sky.” It even knew about Ajax’s heart beating faster and faster, and the eyes which were blinking curiously beyond the words. “It even knew about Ajax’s heart beating faster and faster, and the eyes with were blinking curiously beyond the words.” He looked up at the words, “He looked up at the words,” and studied the pair of eyes carefully. They were not the color of the ocean, like Estra’s angelic eyes – but they were chocolate brown, the color of the mud no which he stood. All of this, “…and studied the pair of eyes carefully. They were not the color of the ocean, like Estra’s angelic eyes – but they were chocolate brown, the color of the mud no which he stood. All of this was recorded in the Times New Roman words up in the sky,” was recorded in the Times New Roman words up in the sky. Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: “Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s worlds repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus: Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus:  Ajax closed his eyes, and the sky’s words repeated thus:  …. Ad infinitum, until it covered in whole entire sky.” ….Ad infinitum, until it covered the whole entire sky.

Ta-da!!! ^_^


kbye.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry for the bad quality; the picture was taken by webcam because (a) xiy doesn't have a scanner [*sadface*] and (b) she was too lazy to take a legit camera-picture.

~Happy Thanksgiving from the Six Little Curly Fries!~

YAY!!! It's Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving break too! It's my day to post today, but since it's also THANKSGIVING, I'm giving up my post, so that everyone of the Curly Fries (and I mean everyone. Lately the ALL curly fry posts have been a bit lacking in ppl who actually POST IN IT, >:( So EVERY CURLY FRY MUST POST TODAY :)) can post what they are thankful for this Thanksgiving. Please also post a quick summary of what you, the reader, are thankful for this Thanksgiving in the comments!

*note* Curly Fries, also post something about what you are doing for Thanksgiving
Anyways, as we are all so excited about eating turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatas n' gravy, blah blah blah...and all sorts of things, let's get posting about what we love to eat too! YAY!!!...Actually, how about this, Curly Fries must post on what they are thankful for (at least 3, and please have at least one original idea-something other than "family, friends"...you can have those as the other 2, ok?), and choose one of the following: 1)What you are planning on eating, or 2)What you are planning on doing.
Our faithful readers (from Canada?), feel free to join in the comments!
Luv, Lynda
P.S. Watch the Macy's parade! It's fun. :)

Momo: 1.) I am thankful for many of the same things as xiy already mentioned (she was the first to fill this in) and a lot more. I just came back from feeding homeless people in our city and it was really fun and I realized how much more stuff I have than them. I am thankful that I have a house, computers with keyboards, turkeys who so bravely give their lives for our dinners, telephones, genetics, this blog and the people who are part of it, Hyperbole and a Half, my family, God (sorry, but I had to bring in religion), school breaks, my camp, German food and the people who make it, my cats, tooth paste, eyes, all 6 of my senses, water, stairs, rocks, the sky, Greek and Latin, math, Science Olympiad, good books, music, and a lot more. I am thankful that I am alive and that I don't have a fatal disease or anything.
2.) I already said that I fed the homeless and now my mommy and I are going to cook. Then we're going to a friend's house for a feast!!! 

xiy: What xiy is thankful for:
friends/family (duh); books; blogs; the Internet; sunsets; summer vacation; the discovery of fire; planetariums; indoor plumbing; the fantasy genre; good music; chocolate; squishable sheep named Archie; the ability to draw; red pandas; curly fries and Curly Fries; plums; unicorns named Hector; windy days; school holidays; cats; air; the human circulatory system; evolution; trees; smoothies; webcomics (xkcd, Fey Winds, and FreakAngels in particular); Gimp/Photoshop; WiFi; pillows; tea with peppermint; snow(y) days; and I can't think of any more as of right now, but there's definitely loads more.

Lynda is coming over today for Thanksgiving. We're going to have a giant Chinese Thanksgiving party tonight, involving much yummy food and a lot of little kids running around.

Carrie: Herro! :) I already had my quite delicious thanksgiving feast with the fam. and my mother is making a 15-pound turkey. I don't know why. But now my whole house smells strongly of Turkey ^_^ and I get to have a whole 'nother thanksgiving on Saturday. Today was the one with my dad's family, and on Saturday I'm having it with my mom's family. Soooo lots of food and possibly 10 pounds for me. Eh, it's 'kay. I'll sleep it off. ;) I'm thankful for a lot this holiday season. I'm thankful for my loving family and friends and everyone I'm lucky to have in my life right now! I'm thankful for the fact that no one in the family has passed since there have been some close calls. I'm thankful for the roof over my head and heat that keeps me warm. I'm thankful for all of the people I have met, whether they've stuck around or not. I'm thankful for all of the fantastic experiences I've had in my life. And finally I'm thankful to be blessed with this life and all of the happiness it's brought with it. :) Love y'all! xo ♥ Carrie

Lynda: Thankful for: food, money, ranting, blogs, internet, computer, my brain, my body parts, friends/family, life, fanfiction, writing, NaNoWriMo buddies, Crew Break Month:), Birthday, 6LCF, and most of what everyone else said :)
Going over to xiy's house to play cards(actually, I already went), eat, talk, play ping-pong...OMIGOSH! I played ping-pong, 1st time in my life, not that bad at it...The ping-pong ball just liked to bounce off the ceiling a lot whenever I hit it...or just fly over xiy's head :)

House:

Virgil: Do I really have to list everything I'm thankful for? I'd be here all day. Uh, general things: God, friends, family, a nice house, books, libraries, fantastic people like J.K. Rowling, and... uh... yeah basically everything fits in those categories. I am going to my grandparent's house for the long weekend to see them and my aunt and uncle and cousins and other people. We will talk about politics and Israel and other things that don't really interest me that much, but that's okay. 

XOXOXO

D'you Know?

Today's post is going to be, in part, written in "d'you know?" form. Blame it on my complete lack of any other better things to say.


D'you know which is one of the best books in the whole world?
The Princess Bride.
♥♥♥♥

D'you know the phases of the moon?
New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent. And then the same thing all over again.


D'you know when the third Chronicles of Narnia movie (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) comes out?
December 10, 2010.


D'you know that swearing helps with one's pain tolerance?
It really does. 


D'you know that all the science teachers at the school of the 6LCF are completely useless?
They really are.

D'you know what's scarier than a scary eleven-year-old? 
A scary fencing eleven-year-old.
D'you know what's scarier than a scary fencing eleven-year-old?
A scary fencing eleven-year-old with a saber.
(And the only thing scarier than a scary fencing eleven-year-old with a saber is, according to Virgil, Lord Voldemort with the Elder Wand. I, however, disagree, as Voldy never got the Elder Wand to work to its full potential; he wasn't its true owner. Ergo, Voldy isn't as scary as he could have been, though he is already quite scary enough.)

And that ends the "d'you know?" portion of this post. 
--
There's no more school for the next five days! Two of those days are, admittedly, the weekend and therefore default days off, but they still count. "Five-day weekend" sounds so much better than "three weekdays off and then two days that comprise the weekend and so they technically count as break but they're days off no matter what and so they really shouldn't be counted as a school holiday." 
I love Thanksgiving. There's just so much lovely stuff going on around then. Two-day school weeks, lots of food (turkey especially), and so on.
♥
 In fact, I believe that I *might* be getting a laptop this Friday, if we can find any cheap enough and nice enough during the whole Black Friday sale thing.

And I was going to write something else, but then I completely forgot what I was going to write about. Darn you, random short-term memory loss!

Ugh. I can't remember.


So I guess that's it for today.


P.S. I remembered what I was going to write about.
The Six Little Curly Fries have an official unicorn, you see (he shall make an appearance on Momo's birthday banner), and his name is Hector.

Nothing in Particular

You know that feeling? The one that you get when you have to follow up someone's amazing performance? Yeah, I'm feeling that. Thanks, Virgil. No, I'm just playing. I do feel rather down that I have to follow such an amazing post, but Virgil should be applauded, not put down! I tend to get this feeling a lot. Like when I was younger, I played violin for a few months...don't make fun of me. I had always wanted to play violin as a little kid. One day I was playing violin in my street (cars are sort of rare) before my lesson. I thought I was sooo good! Then my teacher arrived and she played some amazing Tchaikovsky piece or something and then turned and was all, "Okay. Your turn." I pulled up my bow and fixed my fingers with my other hand and then pulled up my violin. Soon enough I was screeching Mary had a Little Lamb like a pro. But not really. Not only did I suck, but I felt even worse because I'm sure my teacher was thinking, "What is wrong with this kid? Did she not learn any amazing solos to surprise me with? I need a new job."

Sigh.

That reminded me!!! If I hadn't quit violin and switched to clarinet, I would never have gone to band camp where I am fairly certain I met Virgil for the first time. I also would not have gotten closer to House who, despite her claims that she's put up with me since kindergarten, only knew me from a distance-ish type thing. If I hadn't met Virgil I wouldn't have done Science Olympiad. I wouldn't have gotten closer with the rest of you and probably would have sat alone in a corner at lunch in seventh grade. Then we wouldn't all sit together in eighth grade. If that hadn't happened, Six Little Curly Fries would not be in existence at all. You are allowed to thank me for quitting violin. XD

What else should I write about? Lynda is an old lady. I'm gonna be an old lady in *checks watch* 8 days. 

THANKSGIVING IS APPROACHIN'!!!!! TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BEFORE OUR only 5 day break. That's pathetic. Only 5 days to give thanks? I need at least two weeks to scratch the surface of the amount of things I'm thankful for. We should do that on Thursday. Are you willing to forfeit a post, Lynda? Of course she is.

Did you ever notice that teachers get lazy around breaks. We're having, like, four "parties" a.k.a. thisisn'treallyapartypersebecausewearen'tallowedtoletyoustudentstobehappysotechnicallyit'sjustasharingofcultureandfoodthatwewillsomehowfindanamefor.

It's hard to type without spacing instinctively. I'm making pigs in a blanket for our Latin feast because apparently stuffed dormice/whole pigs is not a very popular grocery store item. Pigs in a blanket will do. [The pigs are made out of beef, though]

Do I have to write a secret message?

I have to eat dinner.Toodles!
