I'm Alive - I promise!

I dunno who drew this, but aren't they sweet?

Since the end of the world is nye in eight days time, I finally got my act together. In a singular "what-the-hell-why-not-I'm-bored" moment in English class I finally started the 30 Days of Writing Challenge. Remember that? When I promised I'd do that, but never ever did? Well, I've started it - appropriately on December 12th 2012.
I bet no one forgot the date on Wednesday!

So, for these drabbles I'm using canons from a story I created with my dear friend. The two "heroines" are our characters, so let's call my friend Wyn and I will be Ema. So at least try to look forward to that.

In other news, apparently I have a "stunningly diverse" vocabulary and a girl at my school has asked me to write down every "big" word I use until school lets out. I'm up to #4 - rantipole. In all honesty, I just go onto the other-wordly Tumblr page and memorize the English and Latin words...
Oh, and I have a top 5 song list, because I'm bored and these are my new favorites:
1. Ho Hey - The Lumineers
2. Flapper Girl - The Lumineers
3. Express Yourself - Labrinth
4. Heartlines - Florence + The Machine
5. Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley
*BONUS*
6. Older Chests - Damien Rice

Cheers,
Carie

Non-Existant Weekly Updates

This, my friends, has become an issue. I promised updates every week on stuff I feel like talking about.
News, personal or otherwise, and other random thoughts.
I realize it has been exactly a month and 5 days since the last update (depending on your time zone) and this is not something I'm interested in keeping up.
So I'll give you a "quick" list of the first things I think of concerning the last month. It's like that stupid "What I Did Over The Summer" paper from primary school!

THINGS I DID [RECENTLY]:

• School officially started
• My friends and I have discovered a mutual love of tea, sweaters, and really good indie music (maybe I'll write a post on that... note to self?)
• Katrina (my best friend) and I have begun a secret fangirl club for Sherlock, but it only contains the two of us... and we aren't interested in adding members
• Addition to that last one: Katrina and I have decided to "dress up" as Holmes and Watson randomly one day just to see who gets it. I have a white sweater and she has the dramatic coat. Now all we need is someone who will agree to wear a suit and say "I will skin you" or hold an umbrella. Either is fine really.
• My school newspaper is finally online.
• I cut all my hair off and I love it - 'tis wonderful to beat all my guy friends in Bieber hair-flip contests.
• I finally read Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire... I now understand the origin of "Meyers ripped off Rice" arguments.
• Nearly threw up in my world religions class when my teacher announced he decided to bump our giant test up to yesterday (he was joking but I don't trust the man anymore)
• I really really want to see Beasts of the Southern Wild. the little girl in it looks BEYOND cute :3

So there.... I've updated. Hope enjoyed that; and I hope you enjoy the random picture I decided to post:
