oh, right, I probably should post...

Hello! 

Guess who now posts on Saturday. :3 YAY! Anyway, soon-ish I shall be traveling to the wondrous land of Momo's house for a magical event, AKA an awesome party celebrating our one year blog anniversary. 
OHMYGOSH GUYS I'M SO EXCITED! There's gonna be cake and play-doh and movies and the surprise that I'm bringing! (It's a surprise, so I'm not gonna tell you what it is. :P )


Um, so, I'm gonna be posting on Saturdays now, huh? This should be fun. Y'all get to see what Carrie's like on the weekend, instead in mid-week drag. WOOT WOOT! I should warn all of you reading though, I can get a liiiiiitle bit crazy. XD However, I'm pretty excited. 


I went to a carnival today! It was a lot of fun. 4/5 of the other curly fries were there, so I pretty much floated back and forth between them and the boyfriend. Speaking of him, the boyfriend got me earrings. :) They're so pretty, and I feel like bragging about them. :P I think I should really think of a nickname for the boyfriend. Any suggestions? Back to what I originally was going to say, Lynda is currently in our state's capital (that is where she is, right?) rowing her butt off and being awesome! I wish I was as awesome as Lynda and was able to be athletic in some form or another, but I'm not. I sit on my butt all day. :P I be is such a lazy curly fry. :3 


Yeah. 


I hope you guys enjoyed hearing from me twice this week! Even though Wednesday's post was slightly depressing, I'm feeling much better now! (Hur hur, that made my think of Monty Python's Holy Grail) "I'm not dead yet! I'm feeling much betta!" Lawlsies. :3 


Oh, hey, I just wrote a reasonably lengthy post, in my opinion at least. Did you enjoy reading it? Good. :) 
okay. bye


DFTBA! ♥ 


Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 
Carrie

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) :

♥

 

Argh, my foot fell asleep...

...and the pins and needles are starting, and the only place on me that is ticklish is my feet, so....ARGH!!!

---OMG, dude, the Anniversary picture (gosh, that makes me feel old, anniversary picture...like and 80 yr old) is up, and IT IS PURTY!!!!----

Alright, since lovely Carrie's post was so ridiculous and untrue, and totally a downer, and definitely the most crazy thing she's ever thought of, I feel like my post today should be filled with facts.

FACT 1:

Our 9HD projects were due today. (Virgil and moi's, note, House, xiy, Carrie, and Momo's were turned in a while back)

FACT 2:

I put in 2. TWO!!!!! DVDs in my backpack this morning. In 2nd period, one of them was gone.

FACT 3:

One of the DVDs dropped out of my backpack and out onto the dining room play room floor. (Mind you, it was in a CASE. Somehow it dropped out.)

FACT 4:

I AM SO SORRY, VIRGIL, SOOOOOO SORRY!!! I KNOW I PROMISED IT WOULD BE OKAY, BUT IT WASN'T, AND I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE MEEE!!!!

FACT 5:

Our 9HD documentary was beautiful. My class even clapped at the end!  =D

FACT 6:

Donald Trump is a horribly biased/racist/bigoted/ignorant/annoying/HORRIBLE person.

FACT 7:

Just to get this straight, China is not manipulating the US to spend more money, and get into more debt with China.

FACT 8:

China is also not ripping the US off with all of it's "Made in China" products that the US has. Here is a piece of supporting evidence: Every $200 iPod in the US pays a Chinese worker $0.06. 6 CENTS per 200 DOLLARS. WHO'S RIPPING WHO OFF NOW, YOU DUMBA**, TRUMP???

FACT 9:

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital. He is an American citizen.

FACT 10:

If Donald Trump becomes President of the United States of America, Lynda will scream swear/cuss words at the TV that shall broadcast this in a fluent, fast, eloquent, passionate, poignant, and forceful voice .

FACT 11:

The 6LCF Anniversary is tomorrow!

FACT 12:

The Royal Wedding will take place tomorrow!

FACT 13:

Princess Diana's/Princess Kate's wedding ring is worth more than half-a-million dollars. It's 18 carats. (Dear future husband, if you don't have a ring like that for me, we are finished, you hear? FINISHED!)

FACT 14:

There shall be copies of Kate's wedding dress within days of the wedding (btw, the dress is worth more than half-a-million dollars too!)

FACT 15:

If Kate loses that 18 carat ring, Lynda will use her magical powers and find it, and keep it accidentally lose it again, this time permanently for Kate...

FACT 16:

Lynda has a regatta tomorrow and Saturday, in Columbus, so she will be slightly late to the Anniversary party, and she hopes that the rest of the Curly Fries will be gracious and pardon her lateness (I mean, she could be slightly earlier, but that would mean forgoing a shower, which...might not be a good idea).

FACT 17:

Lynda hopes that some of the facts in this post have made you giggle/snort/laugh/roll-your-eyes-and-go-'oh, Lynda you greedy and shallow thing'/cheer-you-up!

Farewell, world!

Lynda

*sigh* Carrie fails at life :(

It's true! Carrie fails. Badly. At everything. 

She also doesn't know anything. 
She thinks that she should just go climb into a hole now. 
She also is wondering why she's talking in third person?

Meh. Enough of that. 

So um, Curly Fry anniversary on Friday? Exciting. I don't know, it's been feeling lately like I simply don't click with the other Curly Fries. :/ I just feel like I don't belong, but maybe that's just me. 

I think I'm just going to leave now. bye. 

Have a nice life. 

:(

Magnolias: I Love Them.

It was supposed to thunderstorm most terribly today, but it's 5:23 PM right now and the weather has yet to deliver that promised precipitation. In fact, it's actually rather sunny (sun of the watery-yellow, struggling-to-get-out-of-the-clouds sort) and very warm.

Despite the fact that a loud, dark, broody thunderstorm would be extremely fun to watch in a dry, cozy house such as I am in right now (along with hot drinks and various desserts), I think I prefer this sun. It is almost May, after all. Silly rain needs to stop and let the flowers take over.


Speaking of flowers (<-lol another segue*), there is a magnolia tree in my backyard that is really really really really pretty this time of year. It has these beautiful pinky-white flowers and it's right by a little pond and the entire scene is very picturesque. Nearly all the flowers have opened by now, and when the wind blows--like it is doing today--all the long pink petals shake in a most elegant and dignified manner, and it's just so beautiful. (The flowers even smell all right, though it's not my favorite smell.)


Thus, I decided to spend at least a small portion of this lovely thunderstorm-less afternoon drawing some magnolias, because they're very pretty and I need practice drawing plant life anyway. So I come today bearing three (3) drawings. They're not the greatest, because xiy + plant matter + pencil/pen/crayon/Sharpie/coloured pencil/other drawing utensil + inspiration to draw = TERRIBLE THINGS.

(Stupid HTML has at this point decided to add a strikethrough to everything I type. Please wait while I go shout at fix it.)

(Okay, better. Well, obviously. Since not that entire above sentence turned out struck through. Yeah. I just thought I'd point that out. Not that you needed it. I don't think.

. . . Nevermind.)

ANYWAY.

Here come the drawings:

This I coloured with crayons (and a few coloured pencils) before I realised that I have Gimp, which has colours much more suited to the subject matter than a pack of 64 Crayola crayons can ever provide. So then I felt very stupid.

Whee~. This one and the next done in Gimp and slightly Picnik'd.

This one is my favourite, I think.

And now here are some pictures of the real thing, so that you can all laugh at how badly I draw flowers.:

It was actually pretty sunny at the time I took these pictures, but they all look like they were taken on a cloudy day. B|

This is my last Tuesday post, s-sob. But I trust in Virgil to make Tuesdays even more awesome, and I am quite excited at the prospect of posting on Fridays.

(Also, I get to post the one-year anniversary banner soon. OMG.)

So I hope I ended on a good note (I expressly left out a rant about math class today so that my last Tuesday post wouldn't be angsty; I hope you're proud of my self-restraint, guys**).

See you next-next Friday! :D

xiy

*Yes, House, it's spelled s-e-g-u-e. Just in case you were still confused. 8|a

Happy Easter! & My Favorite Things

I just got back from church, and I went straight to church from Lynda's house, and I went straight to Lynda's house from getting out of bed this morning. So yeah, that's why this post is a lot later than usual today. 

IT'S SATURDAY!!!

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves to acolyte, but not really! That's Virgil's worrrrrllllddd!!!!!!!

So at church today, we were holding our Easter Vigil ("vigil," from the Latin word vigilo, to stay awake, is a really long service in which no one stays awake) and guess whose name appeared on the roster for tonight's service. Hmph. I had to carry a really heavy cross and I thought I was going to drop it and then everyone would be mad at me >.<

So today I'm going to talk about my FAVOURITE THINGS! It's fantastic timing, because I've been in an incredibly good mood this weekend. These are in no particular order...

Virgil's Most Favourite Things

writing, 

especially during November,

rereading Harry Potter books

and coming across those parts that make me smile every time or make me cry every time,

the sound of thunder and pouring rain when I'm snuggled up in bed,

listening to traditional Christmas music in August,

reading Looking for Alaska in one night

and feeling absolutely refreshed in the morning, after a whole night of crying over 

the beauty of John Green's words,

listening to "Harry's Wondrous World" on repeat and never getting sick of it

listening to "Theme from Jurassic Park" on repeat and never getting sick of it

okay, let's just go with all John Williams music in general,

and when I'm at church and the gospel of the day just somehow seems to relate to my life at that moment,

and singing "I Vow to Thee My Country" (which is to the tune of Jupiter),

and that moment of inspiration when I come up with a new plot twist,

and that awesome feeling that you get when you've been wanting to do something for a really long time, but you've been too scared to do it, and then finally you work up the courage to do it and it's just the best kind of feeling in the entire world,

and that moment of realization I get sometimes when I look around and see friends who are real,

(not that my imaginary friends aren't amazing too),

and chocolate cake,

and the smell of vanilla and lavender and cigarette smoke,

and the moment when you're at the top of the Dragster and anything is possible,

and the taste of sticky toffee pudding that you can only get at the Cramond Inn,

and dancing to the AVPM soundtrack when no one is around,

and when I read a really good sentence like "What's the speed of dark?"

and the fudge from the Fudge Kitchen on the Royal Mile,

and Scottish shortbread,

and the rare moment when I read something I've written and actually feel proud,

and the smell of old books,

and playing the flute,

and people-watching in the airport,

and getting prizes at Latin Convention,

and the colour blue,

and the sound of the ocean,

and clouds that are shaped like dragons,

and looking at the stars,

and crossing things off of my list of things-to-do with my brand-new sparkly crayons,

and shiny things

and making lists of my favourite things. 

There are a lot more, but that's all I can think of for now. :) Also the 6LCF, of course, I love you guys so much.

Speaking of which, I believe our anniversary is this Friday, which means (if I am correct) that this is my very last Saturday post ever!!!! I will henceforth be posting on Tuesdays, and I sincerely hope that I will be able to live up to xiy's greatness. 

Best wishes!

Virgil
