Day 19- Nicknames you have; why do you have them
I have so many nicknames.
Pish is my first nickname I’ve ever had- Because my middle name is Patricia.
The second one was Booboo - because I wore band-aids as a fashion statement at the age of five, way before who is that, Nelly? Carrie is the most common one - simply because It’s a shorter version of my name. Camille to my boyfriend - because our friends mom forget my name the...
Day 18- Plans/dreams/goals you have
I already did this for one of these questions? But I guess it doesn’t hurt to do it again.
Plans/Goals 1. Do the best I can in college, get good grades. Actually, just do the best I can with anything. 2. I want to become more musically inclined. I want to practice my violin more and, eventually, write and preform songs with my boyfriend in a cute looking duo but actually sing about really...
Day 17- Someone you would want to switch lives...
I hate this question. I would never want to be anyone other than who I am. I am comfortable with myself. However, I am interested in people’s thoughts. Like, you know how everyone’s voice in their head sounds different than what it actually is? I’d like to hear other people’s ‘inside’ voices. I’d like to get glimpses of how their thought process works, but...
Day 16- Another picture of yourself
I hate posting pictures of myself.
This me today, being all sick and what not.
Day 15- Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs...
1. Resurrection Fern - Iron & Wine 2. Wasted Hours - The Arcade Fire 3. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan 4. Dear Prudence - The Beatles 5. Ladies of Cambridge - Vampire Weekend 6. 2 Atoms in a Molecule - Noah & The Whale 7. Consequence of Sounds- Regina Spektor 8. March 4, 1831 - Balmorhea 9. Exactly where We’re From - Mirah 10. Overboard - Ingrid Michaelson
Day 14- A picture of you and your family
This accurately describes my relationship with my two cousins, Crystal and James. One of my favorite ‘cousin’ photos.
Day 13- A letter to someone who has hurt you...
The problem is that I haven’t been hurt very recently. Here goes,
Dear Self,
Stop holding back. Stop being afraid of failure. It doesn’t matter if you can’t climb rocks as good as he can, it doesn’t matter if you can draw as well or better than your friend, it doesn’t matter if you’re not that quick on a bicycle. It is the effort that counts. You need to...
Day 12- How you found out about Tumblr and why you...
I had heard of Tumblr from numerous sources. I dunno, one day I just decided to join the community and make one. People on Tumblr, in general, seem really artsy and accepting. You can find a whole bunch of wonderful things as opposed to a whole bunch of status updates.
Day 11- Another picture of you and your friends
Prom, with all the lovely ladies.
Day 10- Songs you listen to when you are Happy,...
This is tough, then again, all of these are in a way. But my music taste is so varied.
Happy - Anything really. Currently I’ve been listening to a lot of Sarah Donner, her tunes and just so jubilant. Sad - I usually don’t like sad songs. Mirah is really good and chill for when you’re jut not feeling like rocking out, though. Bored - Really when this happens I put my iTunes on...
Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few...
Oh wow. There are actually a lot.
I’m going to go with the big one: Starting off this Spring semester really well makes me super proud. I’m aiming for deans list this semester so I feel like I’m off to a really good start, and I’m super stoked!
Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why
Most of my goals are pretty self explanatory. I think all of my short term goals are just so I can complete my long term ones. I don’t really separate my goals into short and long term usually anyway.
- Get situated to this semester. Work as hard as I can to make deans list this semester. - Practice my violin more. Become better at music theory. - Read the huge stack of books that is...
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has...
I think this is silly. I mean so many things have a great impact on people, sometimes even little things do, things that you think don’t matter. Anyhow, here is just one of the many things that has made a great impact on me.
Day 06- Favorite super hero and why
Umm. This is tough. I suppose I’ll go with Batman. I mean, I read Batman comics when I was little so I always feel like he’s my favorite. I also like the fact that he doesn’t actually have super powers and he’s just a regular guy fighting crime and he fends for himself(even though he does have a ridiculous amount of cash). But yeah, I just think he’s a really nifty...
Day 05- A picture of somewhere you’ve been to
I feel so completely at home in Ireland it’s absurd. It’s the one place that I’ve visited that I keep going back to. It’s gorgeous. I also just get this overwhelming sense of history and home and family whenever I am there.
Day 04- A habit that you wish you didn’t have
I have a closed off personality. I don’t like to let people into my head. I don’t like people to understand or even try to understand me. That freaks me out. I take my emotional pain out on others sometimes, and they don’t understand because they don’t know. It’s vicious. I hate it.
Day 03- A picture of you and your friends
So it’s really really cheesy, and I definitely spent about 20 min. just looking for a good picture of my friends. But this one actually sums it up. Robotics was such a big part of my life and all of the people on that team have been a part of me. Those are some of the people that get me most and I miss them so much.
Day 02- The meaning behind your Tumblr name
It’s pretty unoriginal. My first name is Carolyn and my middle name is Patricia. When I was little my family used to call me Pish as a nickname, it just became elongated into Carrie Pish.
WatchWhoring out a video that my friends made. You should check out the rest of their stuff too, it’s pretty good.
Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting...
I guess this is pretty recent. I don’t really have many pictures of myself.
1. I’m a piglet. Not like an actual pig, but like from Whinnie the Pooh. I think my main role is life is to be supportive of everyone else.
2. I play the violin. I also can doodle on the piano, viola, guitar, accordion, mandolin, and ukulele.
3. I am very active, not so much fit though. I have recently...

– I checked my facebook and found this message from my boyfriend. I am dying. It’s little things like these that make falling in love so worth it.
