My name is Carmen Lowell. I am a 25-year old woman with long, flowing, beautiful blonde hair, lovely
eyes and a cute, perky nose. Guys just seem to LOOOOVE me! I can't help it - I'm just perfect! ...NOT!!! Sounds more like
a cross between my two best friends, Lena and Bridget. Tibby isn't beautiful, but she's got the funniest sense of humour and
attitude that I've ever seen. I have grossly thick brown hair and big brown eyes. I must admit, I am no Paris Hilton when
it comes to body structure. In fact, I have a BIG BUTT!! Strange...how my friends call me CARMA...doesn't seem like I have
much of it...
Of my 3 friends, I must say that I am the thinker. I think about things in depth. "If I order
noodles, they might hang out of my mouth and Porter will think I am some kind of pig. But if I order a salad, he'll think
I'm a neat freak. If I order a quesadilla... that'll just bring up some ethnicity issues...I'll get chicken. It's safe and
boring. But then will he think I'm dull and unexciting?" I sometimes wonder if other people think about things as much
as I do. I have the ability to put my heart on the line, but I think I might never go into a full-commitment relationship.
Luckily, I've got my friends to fill up my time. <3

Last summer I went to South Carolina to visit my father who divorced my mom many years ago. We don't
see eachother much, maybe, a couple times a year, so that was a big deal. I was planning all the amazingly fun things we could
do, when he introduced me to Lydia, Krista and Paul. This was too weird. They were his new family! I was so upset that he
had moved on from his old family (IE. me and my mom - correction: MY MOM AND I). Lydia was his fiance, and Krista and Paul
were his new children. Not only were they his new favorite children, they were PERFECT!!! They had pale skin and blonde hair.
Their manners were disgustingly exaggerative. And Lydia started making ALBERT (no one had ever called him that, it was always
AL) have weird habits that he never had - like saying grace, and having Kleenex boxes in every room. What happened to my fun
summer?
This summer, my mom, Christina, started to date this guy named David. We even went on a double
date! How weird is it to go on a double date with your MOM ?!? Anyways, Christina (that's what I call her) started acting
strange. She would be wearing belly-tops and jeans and acting all perky and cheer-leader-ish. One night, she came home after
her curfew...wearing the Pants!!! I was furious!!! I dubbed them the "Love Pants", but not for my mom!!! I knew she was (trying
to) act young for David, but this just had to stop. I broke them up, thus breaking her heart and her dignity all at once.
And just to add to the stress of my mother locking herself in her room and not speaking to me for nearly a month, Krista shows
up. But a different Krista. She has a wavy perm and an attitude. She is dressed different...not...perfect. She even talks
weird..."I got!" She ran away from home. She decided that her mom was trying to make her into a zombie, and whatever
Krista did her mom would just never be happy with. Paul told me that Krista was trying to be like me! I didn't believe
him at first. But I did eventually. She talked like me, she dressed like me...she even wore a dark line of eyeliner! Eventually,
she worked everything out with Lydia.
My summer ended off kind of weird... Paul ended up coming to one of my dates with Porter...I thought
it would be really awkward. But it wasn't...really. Porter ended up dumping me... because I wasn't really focused on ...him.
I was too preoccupied thinking about my mom and David. But Lena showed up...and looks like she gave Paul "the LOOK". She didn't
even realize it at first...but that night she got over Kostos, and went for somone more ... in reach. I was so happy for her!
