head in the clouds

BARBIE JANE CARTER. 27 year old Pediatrician returning to Coolsville from a 4 year residency in Australia. Incredibly single, incredibly busy.

Wholesome family fun? That sounds awful.. Then again, wholesome family stuff when I was growing up was picking my mom off the bathroom floor, so that’s not quite as fun. I guess having two sisters here is cool, huh? Some places don’t have stoplights? What kind of backwards shit is that?

I don’t think everything has to be so over-sexualised or vulgar, you know? Things can be fun without heavy adult content. And I spend a lot of time with children, so I’m just more adapted to a kid friendly environment. Yeah, it’s awesome. It’s the best, really. Really small towns with populations less than 200 usually don’t. There’s not a lot of heavy traffic.

You know, I never realized that ginger actually makes people feel better when they piss their own stomachs off. All those years I thought my mom was trying to punish me for eating too many sweets when she’d try to force ginger ale on me.

Of course it does! I’m not just blowing smoke! One of the best parts about being in a health field is that you get to learn all these cool little holistic tricks because sometimes real medicine just doesn’t cut it. Don’t tell the pharmacists I said that. Ginger ale is good! Especially when mixed with orange juice! Virgin mimosas!

Barely. I’m pretty sure Caleb feeds himself plenty, you weirdo.

Your boyfriend is like family now! I like to treat him as such. You can’t possibly find fault in that. 

[barbiejanecarter]

tatianamakarov:

Something like that.. Or just playing it off like I didn’t fuck around or get myself into any trouble. I’ve just never lived in a quiet-ish place like this, so it’s killing me. I was partying as soon as I hit puberty.

I guess that could be beneficial for you. I don’t think it’s quiet. I just think if you’re not so much into a lot of wholesome family fun it can be a little boring. And Coolsville isn’t even that small compared to some of the other towns around here. At least we have stoplights.

cameramancaleb:

Dudette, all of that food was amazing. Although for future reference, maybe tell me next year to eat all the pies separately instead of dumping them on one plate and trying to make super pie.

Thank you! It is very nice to hear that! I spent all of the night before working on it! I am all for letting people do what they want, but yeah. Maybe the super pie wasn’t the best idea. At least I always keep a thing of Tums and some ginger pieces handy! 

[barbiejanecarter]

baileyjcarter:

 You didn’t suck completely, so whatever. I’m sure Caleb eats more than enough by himself, Barbie. Boys just eat a lot, you’re a doctor shouldn’t you know that by now?.

That is very high praise coming from you. Yeah, but I also know when I was a 20 year old I would forget to eat a lot, or not have money for anything other than ramen, or just refuse to eat the nasty caf food. I know you guys aren’t in school which means if you’re not feeding yourselves then you’re probably not eating at all. 

[barbiejanecarter]

tatianamakarov:

I definitely have quite a few good memories to leave with, and it’s a shame I won’t be able to talk about many of them when I go home. Well, I could, but that would probably lead to your sister being murdered and I don’t really want that happening. She’s too pretty. I’ll miss you too, though. You’ve always been nice to me and haven’t asked if I have an STD, and I don’t get that a lot. There aren’t nearly enough bars in town for me, but I can see myself retiring here if Greece doesn’t work out or something.

Are you going to keep a vow of silence or something? Yeah, let’s not have my sister killed. That’d be awesome. Asking people if they have venereal diseases isn’t really nice table talk. I’m not much of a drinker so they’ve always suited me pretty well, but I guess I could see getting tired of the same thing every night.

baileyjcarter:

Caleb and I are coming. Don’t be lame.

It was so fun! I wasn’t lame! I had such a good time with you guys! And I’m so glad Caleb took most of the leftovers home, he seemed like he was starving. Is he eating enough by himself?

Since I can’t get home to Florida this year for Thanksgiving, I’ll be hosting a Thanksgiving meal at my house if anyone wants to come! I already have the tablescape planned and I’m baking at least three different kinds of pies, so all are welcome!

tatianamakarov:

I missed her a lot, and after thinking she was dead this past week, I’m happy I can see her. I’ll miss Bridget for sure. She definitely made my time here a little more.. Interesting. Though, I’m sure I’ll leave her with plenty to remember me by. I miss Nova, and I miss living in a big city. That was all, really. The rest of Cincinnati can go get fucked.

She disappears sometimes, but she always comes back! Well, I hope you leave Coolsville with some good memories. It’d be a waste if you didn’t! Coolsville can feel big if you really try. It’s not huge like New York, but at least we have Chinese takeout and a Kate Spade outlet. 

[tatianamakarov-blog]

If anyone was wondering, my ‘friend’ in Cincinnati finished her business with the not-so-good guys, and has given me the all clear to move back in a week or so. I’ve fucked and fucked up enough people here, so I’m soon to be getting the hell out of this place. Let me know if you want to hang out before I go, because I won’t be coming back if I can help it.

[barbiejanecarter]

I’m glad your friend is done with her business, I’m sure you missed her. But Bridget will definitely be sad you’re leaving. Did you miss home? I know I did when I was overseas.

So what are you just gonna give up on love, be alone forever?

You could also go on a roadtrip, it’s not that long and then you’d have a car when you got there and you could listen to cool music on the way. I don’t get why Bailey J doesn’t like you, you seem like the nicest person in the universe. THEY  MIX GINGERBREAD AND CHAI? I don’t know why I’m surprised ‘cause I don’t drink either but I just never noticed. I’m gonna have so many pumpkins when this weekend is done! Do you know how to make the seeds tasty? I can at least turn the middle into food so I don’t feel like I’m murdering too many of them.

I could! Although road trips are so much more fun when you have someone in the passenger’s seat. Maybe that’s why? Bailey doesn’t always do the best with nice. We’re very similar even though she likes to claim otherwise. Yes, it is delicious. It doesn’t have a super strong taste which is what I like about it. You have to get it in a small size though because the tea distribution doesn’t do so well in a large. I do actually! You dry them out and put olive oil and some salt on them and bake them! It’s super easy. Or you can do sweet if you want with some cinnamon and sugar!

Wreaths look beautiful no matter what holiday and time of year! I’ve seen Easter, baby shower and most recently - Halloween wreaths. Perhaps she’ll think differently if you decorate beautifully. You ca’t argue with things when they look so nice! Oh, that sounds exciting! It’s my first Coolsville holiday, so I feel as though I will have to check out this carnival. Are churches here as willing to open their doors to a non-Christian as they are in Columbus? My family are traditional Buddhist, but my mom and I always took part in things when we could.

[barbiejanecarter]

I think so too, but she doesn’t seem to share my same opinion. What else are you going to decorate your door with if not a wreath? It’s not my first Coolsville holiday, but it’s my first here in awhile so I will most definitely be going. We can go together if you want? I don’t see why not! There are some super conservative churches around here, but I think if you went to any of the non-denominational or Methodist churches they’d be happy to let you participate. 

[cameramancaleb]

That would be kinda hard, since aren’t some of them in Florida now? You’d have to clone yourself to be two places at once, or be like Bo Peep and herd them all into one place. Niiiice. It’s the best time of year for Starbucks, too, in November they get all the ones that taste like Christmas. Oh, Darth Vader’s head’s way more round than Yoda’s! You might be onto something there. Or I could stack two pumpkins on top of each other and make BB-Pumpkin.

[barbiejanecarter]

Familial love transcends state borders. But if any of them called me and needed me immediately, you can bet your butt I’d be on the first flight down to Florida. Bailey resists, and Bridget is completely willing so there’s one at least. True! I love the Gingerbread Chai Lattes. So good. Yeah, Yoda kinda looks like a triangle, I think. That’d be so cute! You should do both! 

[cameramancaleb]

It’s cool she’s got you around to take care of her. Oh! Maybe if you carved her face on one of the pumpkins, even drunk and drugged or whatever she wouldn’t want to sit on it? But Michelle has to have the turnip, that gives her the extra edge, don’t forget. What should I carve on my pumpkin? Yoda was harder than expected. 

[barbiejanecarter]

Someone has to! I’d take care of all my siblings if they’d let me. Maybe, but she’ll mistake anything for a stool if she’s drunk enough. It’s okay, though. She gives me Starbucks gift cards and everything though. Right. Can’t forget the turnip. Maybe a vampire? Fangs would be pretty easy. Or maybe Darth Vader if you’re looking for another Star Wars character.
