Dear Ben,

Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.

~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

What the hell does “oh zut alors” mean?  You just said it, it’s in my HI (which will not be in the video, lo siento, maybe in january or february i’ll show it to you), and i know it’s french but WHAT DOES IT MEAN?  Context clues aren’t helping.

Okay, I SWEAR I SWEAR this will be the last time I say it.  MY LEGS FREAKING HURT.  I biked 3 miles and climbed 2 floors and did 25 pound leg curls on each leg and did 100 pound hamstring 70 pound calves… my whole body is aching.  OH AND I WORKED ON MY ABS.  I want my six pack more defined, damnit!

You go to an all boy private school, right?  So why in the world should you care about what other boys think of your appearance?  Hahaha.  But I definitely know what you mean, my hair is always messed up by the end of the day.  I think it’s just life that does that to it.  Oh, and i’ll take A VIDEO of my school if you do your hair like that.

I’ve officially declared Thursday lazy thursday.  Actually, this isn’t particularly new.  I’ve been doing lazy thursday since freshman year.  What is Lazy Thursday?  It’s the only day a weak where I will permit myself to wear sweatpants (but usually I still go with jeans) and my glasses and no crazy hair or whatnot.  BUT WHY THURSDAY?  Well, Monday Tuesday is the beginning of the weak, Wednesday you’re halfway there, Friday is the end, and thursday is just… BLAH.  It’s boring.

I love doing these quizzes.  No lie.  I should be a professional quiz taker.  My favorite quiz though is the iPod shuffle ones.  HERE WE GO.

1. Have you ever pooped in the woods?

Is this something I should say yes to?  Of course I haven’t.  I hate and fear public bathrooms, and technically the outside is a public bathroom.  I’m crazy that way.

2. You are starving. You have not had anything to eat for days. In front of you is poison ivy, a live hissing cockroach, and a rotten stinky piece of some sort of mystery meat to eat. Which would you pick and why?

There is no way I would be able to eat a live cockroach.  The bugs just creep me out in general.  Knowing me, I would probably eat the poison ivy without realizing that it is poison ivy.  Hahaha.  But the question is false because I never get hungry.  Honestly, I don’t.  I think it’s a DNA malformation or something, but I simply don’t get hungry.  That’s why my mom has to call me every day during the summer at lunch to remind me to eat, or else I’ll forget.  Isn’t that weird?

3. Bottled or Tap water?

I actually don’t like water that much.  Haha.  I really don’t care, it all tastes the same.

4. Your dream job, what would it be and why?

Professional Artist, a film editor / director / cineamotgrapher or a professional photographer.  Anything mildly art related.  That stuff just strikes me as awesome.

5. Do you have any snow globes?

From places around the world.  My dad used to bring me them from each place he went.  I’ve boughten a couple from where I’ve gone: London, Australia, Mexico…

6. Do you like your bed? If not, what kind of bed do you want?

Ben… I OWN A DOUBLE BED AND SLEEP ON MY OWN.  Sorry, I had to slightly brag.  But I’m kidding.  I do love my bed, it has 4 inches of extra squishy.  Unfortunately, my mom is going to switch is soon for a hard bed.  Because it will ”’supposedly” help my back.  It really doesn’t make a different (I asked the doctor) but oh well.  I did always want a top-bunk bed though.

I love the making quizzes for us.  DO IT!

Much love,
Your friend who made the crappiest finger puppet alive,
Carla
