Where to Begin...

Here, I guess... maybe with an explanation or three?
It's been a while since I sat on my computer and pretended to be talking to myself; mum was pretty happy about that one. I'm still Carie, but this is a less-ditsy-sounding Carie. A Carie who is currently ninja-battling flies for her raspberry iced tea.
I'm going to write here about things I can actually say I care about.
I have an opinion, but am not opinionated. I want equality and respect, but am not a feminist. I love to write, but am not a writer (per say). I was to be known and remembered, but not through constant fame and fortune. I'm a dancer, singer, history nerd, art freak, chemistry lover, writer/novelist, thinker, devil's advocate, church-goer, and above all: A teenage girl who has a strange-imagination, acts like an extrovert, thinks like and introvert, and would like to think she's a lot smarter than she may be.
People tell me I'm modest; I beg to differ.
SIDE TANGENT: I apologize for cursing from time-to-time, ahead of time.
I really can't say much about anything today (still reeling from learning bonding in Chem summer school). But it's Friday so maybe I can do a quick synopsis of the week's news? I don't feel like angering anybody, but here goes it:
- Supreme Court rules ObamaCare is a tax, thus falling in line with Constitutional values (GOP and Dems alike bitch about this)
- Arizona immigration was debated over in the Supreme Court. This citizen isn't sure where that ended up.
- Andy Griffith died this week; that's disappointing because he was great.
- 5 million people lost power in the beginning of the week.
- Fourth of July crap sale advertisements hit peak yesterday evening (Thursday, July 5th)
- and I made Banana Bread, that is all.

Thank you for reading, and look for a book review sometime soon. I feel it's time to state my opinions on the Twilight phenom. Yes, let's go ON with a huge bang *said while smirking*!
