thank you notes and stationery

Since I just graduated college many friends and family have been so kind to send me presents and cards. And since they have been sending me things I have been so kind to write thank you notes back. Ha, ok, that was a joke! Writing thank you notes used to be such a chore but now it's kind of enjoyable. It is even more enjoyable when I love my stationery. When I use cards from my favorite stationery company, Rifle Paper Company, then it is an activity I very much look forward to.

I am obsessed with anything and everything made by RPCo. Here are some of my favorites:

It's Nefertiti! Those eyebrows!

I saw the equestrian set at a home decor store near a movie theatre I go to occasionally and fell in love. I also fell in love with the thank you note above so I got it for a note I wrote to my boyfriend's mom. I am in love with all of it. I got this social stationery set from Anthropologie last year and have been writing my thank you notes on those for my graduation gifts. I'm going to be really sad when they're all gone.

Just so dang cute.

I don't think stationery could get any better. 

Until tomorrow,

things I don't like to admit

A long time ago a lot of things didn't bug me that do now. I don't like to admit it but it's true. I'm bugged by so many things. Yesterday my mom and I were talking about "text-iquette" and that turned into me ranting about things that I didn't like people texting me. After my rant my mom said to me, "wow, you are really sensitive." The worst thing is I think she's right and I really don't like to admit that. Who wants to be really sensitive?? No one! I want to be someone who doesn't let things get to them and who doesn't care about things but unfortunately I cannot just switch off my über sensitivity.

It is a little embarrassing to me that I am saying that I am but if I said I wasn't like that then I'd be lying.

Here are some other things I also don't like to admit: I'm very lazy, I procrastinate just about every single thing you could possibly procrastinate, I hate and avoid confrontation like it's my job, I am the master of passive aggression (don't those two go hand-in-hand?), and it is very hard for me to put how I'm feeling into words.

Writing all of that out was sort of cathartic in a weird way. Not so much embarrassing anymore. I feel a lot better.

I have posts lined up for this week so it won't be as sad as it was the last past week.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline  

p.s. I wish I was still at Firefly.

things I learned from Firefly

Guess what everyone! I finally went to Firefly. I had an amazing weekend watching bands I knew, bands I didn't know very well, and bands I didn't know at all! I also had an amazing time with the group I went with. Everyone got along so great and was up for anything. I didn't want the weekend to end. I thought since I've been to music festivals before I had a pretty good idea of what Firefly was going to be like but it definitely exceeded my expectations. I even learned a few things!! I compiled a list of things that I learned that all definitely apply to music festivals but somethings also apply for life. Here's what I got:

1. Portable phone chargers are a great idea but make sure you know how to work them first: I went to Target the night before I left for Delaware to buy a few last minute things and one of the things on my list was a portable charger. On the box it said that the charger was already fully charged so I thought, "great, now I don't have to charge it tonight!" Strangely enough, when I got home I plugged it in to see if it worked. It did but I guess after I used it I forgot that I had to press a button to turn it off and when I went to charge my phone on Saturday my charger only had about 1/4 of its power left. Nice going.

2. Don't worry about who is going: Ok, this sounds weird but I seriously need to be more like this. A girl who went with our group only really knew three people out of our group of 9 and decided to come along with us anyway. Apparently what had happened was that she wanted to hang out with those three and they had decided to just ask if she wanted to come along to the festival and without hesitation she said yes. She didn't ask who was going or wasn't weirded out that she didn't know 2/3rd's of the group. This girl was the freaking definition of pleasant. Can we all be more like that?? We could make so many new friends so easily!

3. No one cares what you look like: This lesson is especially for things like Firefly. People wore some weird stuff but really no one cares. I think in just about every other situation no one really cares. If I go out in the world with no makeup on people might think for a second, "ew, gross" but then move on. Realistically, no one really cares about what anyone looks like except for themselves. Present company included.

4. Crowds can be very annoying but also very fun: There were a few times when I really liked being in a crowd seeing a show and then there were times when I wanted to get out as soon as possible. You gotta take the good with the bad. It's just a fact of life. Also, crowd surfing is the worst. I didn't learn that at Firefly but I did have lots of people fall on me and I did not like that very much.

5. Tents are very hot in the morning: I don't really have to go into this much further. I never camped in an open field before so I lived and I learned.

6. Silent raves are the best: I went to my first silent disco/rave/dance party. It was maybe my favorite memory of the festival.

I got home the other night and was so exhausted but so happy. It was truly a fantastic weekend.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

I believe!

Believe it or not I was going to post this on Tuesday but then Tuesday rolled around and I was so tired and wanted to watch about 5 episodes of Game of Thrones instead of writing blog posts. Oops. That's how life has kind of been for me right now. I'm not quite adjusted to waking up at 6:30 every morning and then standing on my feet until 3:30. I will as times goes on though, hopefully, maybe. 

Then last night I had been getting ready for Firefly, which is today, and when I finally sat down to write something it started to thunderstorm really badly and the power went out. A huge tree fell in front of my neighborhood taking out a few power lines so lots of my neighborhood lost power. The thunderstorm was so scary. The lighting was so bright. The thunder was sort of loud, I don't really remember the thunder being that bad. So there are my excuses for no posts. 

In a few hours I will be getting in a car to go to Firefly and not shower for a few days. So now, I will write what I was going to write on Tuesday. 

So Monday night I went out to a bar called Cafe Citron in DC with my mom, dad, older sister, and some of my parents' friends. My mom and I got there early, ordered two mojitos, and watched as the bar got more and more crowded. It was amazing how early people got there to get good spots to watch the USA v. Ghana game. We ordered probably the tastiest thing I have ever eaten. It was called a Bolivian potato cake and is described on the menu as "2 mashed potato patties fried with beef marinated in spices and fried." That sounds pretty lackluster I guess but it was the most delicious thing I have ever beheld. Nomz city. 

Not too long after everyone else got there and the game started. It was an exciting game but USA was a little lacking in the offense category. Thankfully we struck hard and fast and won 2-1. Pretty much during the whole game the crowd of people that formed over time cheered and chanted. Probably my favorite was, "I believe that we will win!" We chanted that all night long afterwards. I really love the Wold Cup. I'm not really a huge soccer fan, I mean, I have my teams that I like but I don't really follow them too much but I still love the World Cup. All these people bring brought together from all over the world to play this game. It's funny after living in America my whole life how football (American) is so insignificant in the world and probably the most popular sport in America. Although, in my ages 5-7 art camp this week I'm sure they are all on soccer teams. I don't think any of them were aware the World Cup was on.

I'm gonna try to whip something up to be posted tomorrow and for the other days I will be gone. I guess you'll have to find out tomorrow!

Until then,

Caroline  

First day jitters + USA soccer

Today is my first day at my internship. I'm nervous because it's the first day but I am very happy that it's the first day. Getting back into a routine will be awesome. I will update all of you lovely people about my internship on Wednesday. I think I'll make Wednesdays my internship update days and what I'm working on future-wise. That'll be fun.

Tonight is the USA v. Ghana game and I am pretty pumped. I don't know too many of the players but I am meeting my parents (I'm super lame) at a bar in DC to watch the game so I'm mostly pumped for that. I also love my country so that's another reason why I'm pumped!

There's not much more to say today. I'll probably get home around 8-9 and I'll probably be exhausted and probably will just want to watch Game of Thrones. It's gonna be a long and exciting day.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

Happy Father's Day

Today we have a cool day planned around things my dad likes. We're going to go to the batting cages, eat lunch, watch the Nats hopefully win a game, goof around, then go see the movie Million Dollar Arm. My dad is a big Jon Hamm fan and loves baseball so we must see it! Also, I think it got alright reviews.

I don't know if this is sad or lame but my dad is probably one of my best friends and I'm so happy he's my dad. He is the best! Wow, I got a little teary eyed writing that. It might be because I'm also listening to M83's Wait in the background. I already thought it was a pretty emotional song but then I saw The Fault in Our Stars and I'll probably tear up every time I hear it now. That was a good movie.

My sister, my dad, and me!!! We were on a mountain.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

eyebrow game

Yesterday my mom said that my eyebrows looked great. That was probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. If you remember a long time ago I wrote that eyebrows were kind of a big deal to me and that it bugged me that people didn't take care of them. Well, I'm sorry if I offended anyone in any way. You are beautiful, no matter what they (I) say.

There are a few people who have clearly been blessed with amazing eyebrows and I wanted to dedicate a post to them because it must be tough to have perfect eyebrows. They are probably under a lot of pressure to keep them nice. Here are a few people who have eyebrows that I wish mine were more like.

Yes, that last one is Queen Nefertiti's bust. She had eyebrows for the ages. 

I'm gonna go fill in my eyebrows more. 

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

blue + white

Since today is Friday and I post my likes and dislikes on Fridays I wanted to start off with something that I think I will love until the day I die. It is perhaps the most beautiful of the color combinations. It makes my heart sing. It is all that I aspire to wear in the spring and summer months forever and ever. Amen. It is the color combination of blue and white. I think this might be some sort of trend that's lasted a few years, I'm not really sure but it is definitely my favorite combination of colors. I've always been a fan of blue and white, navy and white striped shirts, dresses, shorts, anything are probably my favorite types of clothing. They go with just about everything. But this blue and white is more of a Grecian islands type blue and white, you know what I mean.

Wanderlustin' hard.

So when my friend gave me a blue and white paisley printed scarf as a graduation present I knew that it was going to be my favorite thing ever. I wore it yesterday with a striped shirt that had the same colors and those paired along with my white nails, amazeballs. Sorry. I will never say that again. But I will wear this outfit again!

It's Santorini in a scarf!

Now you know my first like. Actually, it's a love so I'll think up 3 other likes for the week. 

Likes:

1. Winning streaks, Nats are now in 1st in the NL East. Hopefully this lasts

2. St. Lucia

3. Surprise parties

Dislikes:

1. Very rainy weather

2. Procrastination 

3. West coast game times, too late for me

Monday marks the first real day of my internship. Should be interesting!

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

walking shoes

Last Friday, before my surprise party, I was walking around Old Town in a pair of sandals all day and by the time I said goodbye to my last guest and sat down for the night my feet were hurting so bad. I took that into account and now I've been trying to find a new pair of shoes I can walk around Old Town and keep up with a bunch of kids comfortably. I have a pair of Vans that I absolutely love but they are starting to come apart and I also have a pair of Keds but they are just plain old. The Keds I bought before my trip to Germany the summer before 9th grade. Yes, they are that old. I need shoes that are comfortable and cute.

Here's what I've been thinking:

So I love espadrilles and I found some that I think would be well made and at a reasonable price but I'm not sure how great they are for walking! They're by a brand called Soludos and they have some of the cutest designs. One pair in particular I sort of fell in love with but the sole seems to be made of tough material and I don't know if I want to buy a pair and then regret that decision by the end of my first day...and for the rest of my life!

While I am unsure about the espadrilles I know that a pair of Converse would work out fine. I've owned Converse before so I know they can be super comfortable and can be very versatile. I am leaning towards this pair, which I've seen on lots of people and are kind of classic. I would have little-to-no regrets buying these. But then every night I would lie awake thinking, "what if..."

Lastly, there is the great Toms debate. My sister just ordered a pair and they look so comfortable and would go with everything but I just don't know. I'm sure if I ordered them and wore them and got the full Toms experience I would be like, "dang, what took me so long??" but I don't know if I want to commit at the moment. Does anyone else have this sort of problem? If I did get Toms I would have to get something like this lace up pair. Also, they have some pretty sweet sunglasses.

Ugh, the age old which-shoe-should-I-get question. Gets ya every time. Someone help, please.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

treat yourself 2014!

This is my last week of "doing nothing" (I use quotations because I have been doing things but I haven't been working everyday, ok??) so I decided that since today is Tuesday and since Tuesdays are beauty days I would do a little spa day + pamper day + treat yourself 2014 day. If you've seen Parks & Recreation then you'll know "Treat Yourself 2011!" I still can't believe that was 2011. Jeez. Well it will be a relaxing day full of Game of Thrones, nail polish, and a face mask. 

Side note: I went to the gym the morning and did other work today. Just wanted to put that out there.

Painting my nails is always something that makes me feel a little more put together. Whenever I'm not wearing nail polish I almost feel naked. It's strange, I know. I just got this Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear color in White On and I think it looks so clean and makes my hands look really tan. I had seen lots of YouTubers and bloggers painting their nails white so I guess this makes me pretty on trend, eh?

While I painted my nails I watched some Game of Thrones. I'm only a little more than halfway through season 2 so NO SPOILERS. Thanks.

When I bought the nail polish I also bought a new face mask/scrub that I was curious about. I've read a lot about how charcoal is very purifying and good for oily skin. Two things I suffer from are impurities (??) and oily skin so I thought, "let's do this!" The brand is called Freeman, a brand my roommate had used before and liked, and the mask/scrub is called the Feeling Beautiful Facial Polishing Mask with Charcoal and Black Sugar. I've only used it once before but it was quite exfoliating and by quite exfoliating I mean it could probably feel a little too harsh for frequent usage. It did leave my skin feeling extra smooth and clean when I eventually took it off. I'm saving this scrub for a once a week thing so if I hadn't used this so recently I would have done it today. Instead I opted for the St. Ives Oatmeal Scrub + Mask. I really like this mask/scrub because it is nourishing and not harsh at all. I can use this mask a few times a week and not have to worry. St. Ives is probably my favorite face and body product company.

It didn't occur to me until recently I had a thing for these two-in-one products. I want to try more!

I've also been drinking lots of water, which is a treat yourself thing everyone should do everyday.  

I'm going to get some more water now!

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

Zen and the Art of Happiness

I found this little book a few weeks ago and I started reading it every now and then when I had some time to spare. It's called Zen and the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss and I am very happy I started it. During my Asian art class we talked a lot about Zen Buddhism and what that entails so I had some previous knowledge of Zen Buddhism. As I started to read I learned that this book takes Zen beliefs and applies them to our everyday lives to teach us how to be happy, as you probably guessed. It is really amazing. The biggest thing I've taken from this book has been, "everything that has happened to me is the best possible event that could occur." I think everyone should think like this.

So what you might be thinking is, "Caroline, did you start this book because you're unhappy?" Well, the answer is no because I wouldn't say I'm unhappy. I have moments, well we all have moments, when we're sad or am in a bad place but I think if I keep this book in mind I can push through those bad feelings easily and go back to being cheerful. If we all had Zen thoughts all the time we could probably achieve world peace, or, at least decrease the amount of road rage on I-95. Those were both sort of jokes...sort of.

It is an interesting read and I recommend it to all. Even if you're already the happiest person in the world, I still suggest you check it out.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline  

upcoming dates

I had a really great weekend and I wish it could last longer but alas, tomorrow is Monday, which means my internship starts soon and I have to keep looking for jobs and keep working on internship applications. There is a lot coming up so I wanted to list a few noteworthy upcoming dates:

June 10th-11th: Informational meeting with The Lorton Workhouse
June 12th: My half birthday!
June 13th: When I am making my personal statement for an internship due so I can email it to two of my professors for letters of recommendation
June 16th: My internship starts!
June 19th-22nd: Firefly
July 4th: July 4th! Ha...
July 15th: Freer internship application due
August 22nd: End of my internship

There are the dates I can think up off the top of my head. Maybe if I think up more I will update this post. Check back in a week or a month!

Until next time,

Caroline

surprise!!

Yesterday was kind of a busy day so I didn't have much time to post anything. I was going to do a weekly recap and then list my likes and dislikes of the week but when I got home last night from my meeting I had for my internship I was surprised by a few friends with a party my older sister planned and set up for my graduation. I was under the impression my mom was only having a few friends over to drink wine and see our new bathrooms so when everyone jumped out and yelled surprise at me I was a little confused. I wasn't really sure why so many people were there so my first response was, "for what?" Later I figured out that it was for my college graduation and then sort of my half birthday (I threw in that reason, I like celebrating my half birthday).

It was so much fun! I saw friends I hadn't seen in a really long time and my friend's band came to play. They sounded so good. It was so nicely decorated and around the backyard were sheets of paper hung up asking questions that people could answer with markers. It was so funny. The question that probably got the most answers was "How many ducks could Caroline beat up in 3 minutes...no water breaks." My favorite response was -10. There was also a mini photo booth set up! I took like two pictures in it.

My sister did such a good job and I am so thankful. She spent the entire night before (I am pretty sure) cutting out paper stars and attaching them to strings to create a garland that was strung out around my backyard. She even hung individual stars from the magnolia tree in the backyard. It was awesome. She is the best.

Also all of my friends are the best for not spilling the secret! My meeting was in Old Town Alexandria and only lasted till 4 so my two friends met me afterwards and spent time with me down there looking through lots of shops stalling so everyone could get the party ready. I had absolutely no idea. If I were one of my friends stalling me in Old Town I would have been going crazy trying to keep it together. They also did a good job.

I hate to say things like this but I am so blessed (blerssed) to have great friends and a great family. I really am. I had such a good time last night. It couldn't have been any better. Ok, I'm done gushing now.

Until tomorrow, maybe I'll post my likes and dislikes then.

Caroline

it all starts tomorrow

My training meeting for my internship starts tomorrow. Wahoo! I'm a little nervous but very excited. I just got back from my beach trip and I am exhausted so I am ending it here.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

Packing for the beach

I'm going to the beach today for a quick two day getaway before my internship starts. I don't think I'll be getting much off time or I'm trying to not get off time so this will be my last hurrah before my 4th of July break and then until the end of August. It will be busy, but I think I am going to love it.

While I was getting together things for my trip I remembered that I do in fact burn quite easily and that for this beach trip I was going to try my hardest to protect my skin. Here are some of the essentials I packed:

- hat - I have this straw hat and a baseball hat at the ready.

- towel - duh essential #1.

- lotion with aloe vera - this will help after being out in the sun for a long time.

- sunglasses - duh essential #2.

- sunscreen with 50+ SPF. I found this with a coupon attached to it at Target so I said, "Why not?" This type is good because it is sweat-proof. Lawd knows I sweat a lot. 

- lip balm with SPF - your lips need protection too. I also got this with a coupon. 

- hair tie - my hair will get crazy.

- water bottle - gotta stay hydrated. I got this mason jar style water bottle at Wal Mart. It's huge, will keep me hydrated.

I didn't picture a book but I will be bringing something to read as well. I should also mention that something like a soccer ball or a frisbee would also be essential. 

Really, you can bring whatever you want! Be true to yourself!!!!! 

^ I'm not really sure

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

May Favorites

Wow, it seems like just two weeks ago I was posting my April favorites...I guess that's because I got around to posting that around two weeks ago. Oops. Sorry about that. Well here we are now at the beginning of a new month and I've been better about consistently posting so here are the products I've been very happy with this May. This post will be a little different than the other ones because most of the makeup I've been using and liking was in last month's post.

1. paper towels - I had this roll of paper towels saved from my apartment at school so when it came back with my stuff it went in my room. I used a few sheets to get some of the dust off of my desk then I remembered that I heard using paper towels instead of normal towels is a little more sanitary, unless you're washing all of your towels everyday. Well I don't do that and I know you don't either! I think using paper towels instead of the normal towels around my bathroom has helped my skin look a lot better. Well, I feel like it does. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be keeping up this method of drying my face off because it is definitely not environmentally friendly. Curse you, Good Guide!! There is no way paper towels get anything over a 0 rating for environment. 

2. Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel - speaking of Good Guide, remember this product got a 10 for health?? Well before I looked up this product I'd been using it a lot as my primer for my foundation. I started to really use it again this month. It is amazing. It is an exact dupe for Smashbox's Photo Finish primer (it has almost all the same ingredients) and Tarte's Clean Slate Poreless primer (it just feels really similar, I don't know if the ingredients are the same). It's kind of a funny product to use because it's for chafing but it's totally safe to put on your face. So if you have oily skin and want your foundation to stay on longer I recommend you try this. It's also like $7.

3. Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush - I've been loving this brush with my normal Clinique foundation and my Rimmel bb cream I wrote about last time. It just works great! There's not much I can say about this. I apologize for not washing it before I took pictures. 

4. Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me - Wow, I think this lip balm (I don't know if I can exactly call it that, it's more of a sheer tint) has been my most used lip product of all time. Before I kind of put it aside because I wanted to give others a chance (they have feelings too you know) but I've been pulling it out a lot this month. It's so easy to wear and so pretty. There is a swatch below. It gives off a really nice pinkish red color. It goes with almost everything. 

5. YSL Volupté Sheer Candy in Sweet Fig - I've also been loving this color a lot this month. You might look at this in the picture with all the other products and think, "uh, those are the same colors, CAROLINE." Well guess what, THEY'RE NOT. It is a much redder color and is described on the Sephora website as "sheer brick red". These sheer lip tints give about the same amount of color as the Baby Lips which is pretty great because the YSL ones are about 7 times the price. Nope, I did not buy this, it was a birthday gift. Look below, you can see how different they are.  

So that's it everyone! Paper towels and the same lip color! Who knows what will be featured next month. Stay tuned.

Until next time,

Caroline

good feelings

I just cleaned my room for the millionth time this week and it actually looks pretty good now. My life is pretty much centered around cleaning my room. What a life I live. It gets exciting sometimes though. I've found a few things that I thought were gone forever! It's a pretty great feeling. Having a clean room is also a great feeling. I feel like now I'm completely moved out of college and back into my house, which actually, I don't really like the feeling of but that's how things will be going for awhile. Not that I don't like being at home for a long time, I really love it, being around my family is another great feeling but not being in college anymore still kind of hurts.

Ok, no more bad feelings. Some things that make me feel great that will hopefully outweigh any bad feelings are as follows:

Rediscovering songs I haven't heard in a long time - I'm gonna be upfront about this list, as a quick side note, everyone probably feels the same about these things. I'm gonna list them anyway. Rediscovering songs is great because it will really take you back. I heard Bright Eye's First Day of My Life today and it made me so happy because it reminded me of when I used to spend hours on iTunes. This is weird but I actually used to spend so much time on iTunes going to artists I sort have heard of before, trying them out, going through their related artists (I don't know why I'm calling bands artists all of a sudden. I guess they do make art!), it was so much fun. I pretty much do this with Spotify now but that song was just so nostalgic. I really like how music does that, well, sometimes I don't but that will be a story for a different time.

Getting up early - I might actually be in the minority on this but I really enjoy waking up early. The earlier the better. If I sleep in past 9 the day is wasted. Ha, okay, I don't really mean that but I do feel bad getting up after then. While I was at school getting breakfast on campus was one of my favorite things to do. I liked going when it was early so I could have time to myself. Although, my junior year my roommate and I would meet me at our dining hall for breakfast and those were some of the best meals I had throughout college. I miss them! We would do the jumble crossword, read some of the newspaper, talk to random people. It was great. I hope when I start getting into a routine with my internship and then a job or whatever comes next I can have some sort of early morning ritual. It would make each day more enjoyable. I can sleep in when I'm dead!

Seeing things through to the end - When I say this I mean it in a few ways. First, which I don't think everyone would really understand is when I finish up a makeup product completely. The other day I, as what beauty gurus and bloggers alike call it, "hit pan" on my very first blush ever purchased. I was ecstatic as I swirled my brush in the pot and saw the little bit of silver unearthed. Knowing I could get through a blush in probably a few more months is a wonderful feeling. I won't be wasting this product! I hate to waste things, especially things I've spent a lot of money on. Makeup is one of those things I spend a lot of money on. If I can use it up completely then I 1. know it's a good product and 2. I haven't wasted my money. It's really fantastic. The second way I mean this is probably a little more relatable to a larger audience but I love it when I finish a book or a paper or get to the top of a mountain or anything that I've spent a lot of time doing. It is pretty satisfying.

I have a few honorable mentions that I will just list because this post is pretty lengthy as it is:

- good hair and/or skin days
- people saying they love you, romantically or not, it's just nice to hear
- getting rid of dead weight, or finally letting things in the past go
- making a good meal
- finally, making people happy, it makes me happy

I apologize this wasn't up yesterday. I just got to it too late and then didn't realize how long it would be.

I hope this post gave you some good feelings.

Until tomorrow,

Caroline

I need a wee bit more time

The post I had started writing for today has been taking me a little more time than I had first thought so it will be up tomorrow. Here is a little preview:



It's gonna be a long one. Ooooh wee. It's not about this song btw, I just mention it briefly. Don't get any ideas people!

Until tomorrow,

Caroline
