2010, a fond remembrance. →
from novonnegutsnoglory:
Day 1: A few things you will never forget in 2010. photo editing, Fairfield-ing, team advisoring, Londoning, photographing, trying so hard to get home, Christmasing. A year of many gerunds.
Day 2: Relationship(s). I realized I’m ready for a real one, done with dark corner college hookups. But did I have my fair share of those this year? Yes. Did I have one...
Me, in a nutshell.
Technically, this is me after I’ve broken out of the nutshell, but you get the idea.
I’ve recently garnered some new followers, so I figured I owed everyone a brief explanation of who I am and what I do and why my blog matters (here’s a brief hint: it doesn’t).
I am Carly.
This is the most accurate representation of me at the moment. And in case you’re worried,...

Cannibalism jokes are the norm at our dinner...
Me: She bought a ten-pound bag of rice. That's like...a baby. A baby of rice.
Doug (to himself): I heard you just had a baby. Why yes, it was delicious.
Everyone: ...what?

Oh SNAP Jenny never makes sex jokes!
Jenny: Who are you on hold with?
Me: Virgin Air. I'm trying to get a refund for my flight.
Jenny: How long have you been on hold?
Me: Um...an hour and fifteen minutes.
Jenny: Maybe you should try Slut Air, I hear they're easier to get into.

“Here’s the deal: a) I heart you. b) I heart you even more. c) Refer to...”
– Elyse, best friend, brightener of my cloudy days
A day is a day is a day.
Time feels really strange right now.
I look at my calendar and it says that my birthday has passed and that Christmas is three days away. It says that my latest rebooked flight is two days after Christmas.
I should be angry or upset. But I’m not. You know why?
Because Christmas isn’t about December 25th. It’s not about the timing of it; it’s not about where it lands on...

Good News!
I have a rebooked flight through Dublin (a bajillion thanks to MJ for this recommendation) and places to stay until Wednesday when I leave.
It’s all an adventure.
Dear London...
My school clears 3x the amount of snow you currently have by the time I wake up in the morning. Please just let me go home.
Love,
Carly

I can always count on my brother to show me videos/photos/links that are really, really strange but still have an element of being incredibly cool.
That being said, I want to play this instrument. Check out the video.
This is what I look like when I realize I can go to bed early…
Last Night's Thought
Sometimes when I am drunk, I just come home and sit and think. And the odd thing is, I often have really articulate thoughts, and thoughts that I didn’t realize were true about myself before, like this one.
Since I met you, I’ve liked you. You make me laugh; you make me think. But I’ve always said I could only love you when you grow up a little.
And now, right in front of me,...

Megan: Electric guitar!
Carly: 90's special effects! Explosions!
Megan: Camera angles that make me look like I can jump really high!

“I don’t even care if you’re recording me, cuz fuck you. What I will say when I’m sober is ‘Carly, I’m sorry I said all that shit when I was drunk and that’s what I mean even when I’m sober.’ Cuz you’re my best friend.”
“That’s super rare.” “You’re rare. You’re a unicorn. But you have nothing...

My father died December 13, 2000.
Half of my life has been spent without my father.
Is there anything to say?
You know what's worse than wanting to photoshoot...

Having an idea for a photoshoot, but wanting to be in it far more than shoot it.
THIS CAN BE REMEDIED IN SIX DAYS
I like to hear this. However, be forewarned that my idea is super nerdy and really is just me making myself (and possibly a boy) smile.
P.S. I FREAKIN’ MISS YOU.
Someone obviously needs to update me on her life....
