I can still hear Grandpa. His final words, something telling me that he will watch over me forever. It always gives me chills, but good feelings at the same time. It, honestly, is kind of weird.

Author bio

Boo I'm a dinosaur.
Rawr I'm a ghost.
Woof Woof I'm a bird.

I am a car

Okay, so, hi. My name is Carrie, (Otherwise known as, by my friends, Car, Ghost Car, etc.)

I read a lot. I mean like, a lot. I just finished Love, Life, and the List by Kasie West, and it was very good. Here are some book recs:

Kasie West's works.
Jennifer Nielsen. Jennifer Hecking Nielsen I love her so much oh my gosh.
The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahany
The Hunger Games by Suzzane Collins.
Can't think of anything else at the moment but I do have a lot.

My favorite color is yellow, I'm wearing it right now (Also, I have a yellow waffle shirt. Waffles man. Eggo Waffles buster).
I love the band Panic! at the Disco (I included it in Orange Hearts... I get it, I'm not creative) so much that I can't remember the last time I listened to anything besides Beebo (or musicals, of course).
I'm a crazy idiot, but what else is new?
