Quotes

"It's the kid inside of us that keeps us all from going crazy."

"But sometimes, the thing you didn't expect is what you really wanted after all. Maybe the best thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where you're going, and enjoy where you're at."

"First of all, no-one understands relationships like Billy Joel, okay?"

"You know, when you stop being frightened, time really is on your side. And you can just go on being you. "

"It's funny, I guess sometimes when you do nothing at all, things just have a way of fixing themselves."

"But in the end, the most important thing to accept is that no matter how alone you feel, how painful it may be, with the help of those around you, you'll get through this too."

All he wanted was to be a big fish.

There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they're faster or stronger than other fish. They're just touched by something extra.
-Big Fish

Got out of school early today, watched Big Fish, fell in love with the story, and now I want to read the book.

I'm beginning to love reading and writing more and more each day. It takes me to a state of relaxation. I'm at that point where if I don't read or write something each day, I feel as if I haven't accomplished anything. I think that's what I want to do the rest of my life. I'm just not sure if I want to educate, but that seems to be the only big thing out there, besides journalism, but I'd musch rather teach than report. I guess I don't have to do something big, but I would like to. I just want to be allowed to be creative. I like photography. That's creative, depending on the oponion of the viewers. Any ideas or advice would be nice I suppose.

I picked up poetry books from the library by E.E. Cummings, Jim Harrison, and Paul Zweig. I came to the conclusion: I love poetry. It's so beautiful when you learn to appreciate it. I never thought I'd be a big poetry fan, or literature fan for that matter. Then, I learned to appreciate. Then I fell in love.
I guess that applies to other things, too.
Learn to appreciate. Learn to love.

Peace and Love,
Carrie

I wonder if anyone actually reads this, not that I care, just wonder.
