Ladies & Gentlemen

Fasting is soooo slow!

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 07:34:52 GMT

Okay, it's really not a traditional fast, I drink juice & soy milk and only eat a basic dinner, but suddenly the days are so long and I wonder if this is how everyone else sees time and I just happen to waste my time eating all day. o.0 I started it yesterday and I cheated today... a lot. >_< I'm gonna throw in an extra day or two to make up for that. I'll upload a pic of my breakfast tomorrow err today. I need to stop writing so late/early it throws me off. haha

Sweet Sixteen

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 04:38:22 GMT

It was my sister's birthday today so she got to do my hair. I ended up with a lovely purple mohawk.

My roots are coming in a little, but it shows me as having a lot more. What looks black is really a wine color and what shows as blue is a very vivid purple.

Our hair supplies and the 360 right there. It started out pretty well. My grandmother laughed at my hair, but that was expected, Cody was absoloutely adorable staring at it and my mom was her usual self telling us it was cool, but poking fun with my grandmother. My grandfather probably didn't like it, but he doesn't say anything about it. I prefer that to my grandmother's hysterical cackling.

I made stir fry for dinner and I actually ate it. Shut up. It's a big deal for me. I usually don't eat it when it's made, but I figured since it was my sister's birthday I would and it was pretty good; I make a mean stir fry. Later I made the "cake" - a giant cookie; it was oatmeal cinnamon chocolate chip.

Gorgeous, no? Even though I overate a ton I didn't get too depressed and I think the two of us are putting our birthday money together to put towards a sewing machine. I swear, we've been waiting for far too long to get one. I need to start making my lovely creations soon.

Eighteenth

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 08:13:00 GMT

My eighteenth birthday had the most "It's a special day" feeling than any birthday for the past six years. It could be because I sat outside with my sister for a couple of minutes, which is lovely but rare, played a board game with my siblings and grandmother, didn't have to bake my own cake and got money and a necklace that I love.

It started with the fact that I was running on two hours of sleep. I talked to my grandmother about weird things (I blame my lack of sleep) like wanting to take up riding again. Which I started to feel less favor for as time went on, but I blamed the fact that I was tired and talking about it with my family isn't exactly the way to keep your spirits up. My mother flipped about me getting my GED and is no longer in support of it, but that doesn't matter because legally I make my own decisions from here on out. My grandfather was working until three in the afternoon, so I didn't see him until later, but I got a call from him around ten so he could sing a bit of Happy Birthday to me. That was sweet. My brother gave me a hug, which I love, because I don't get hugs a lot even though I really like them. haha

I gave my sister a hard time about the cake she was baking, but oh my goodness... it turned out amazing. It was delicious and looked gorgeous and was completely vegan! I'm really proud of her. She also had to navigate the top oven which is all freaky, but she did great.

Eighteen candles~ ^_^ It looked like one of those oatmeal cookies with the white icing drizzled on it. It was so great. I'll never forget it. By that time I was bushed so I went to bed and slept for four hours before I got on and waited for Laura to come on because I hadn't talked to her in a day or so. When she did show I got a really really really great surprise. I cried and everything, which makes me sound emotional, but it was an amazing moment.

Thank you, Laura! I love you! I can't believe we've known eachother for so long. It makes me feel old, but oh well. It's great. Now I must celebrate my first entry in ages, I think it's my first of '08 too. I think it's a pretty good entry.

Imitation Chocolate Chip

Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:14:16 GMT

Nothing really happened today. Battling with Jack still, but I'm getting kinda tired of myspace. =/ I think she's gonna win because of that. In more interesting news I baked cookies! YAY! My last batch of cookies was weird, but I had all the necessary ingredients this time so me and Jack went to work. Next time we have to use less butter (-cough-oil-cough-) though. They came out a little greasy.... and we have to remember that this batch of dough spreads as opposed to the other concoction I made. lol

Look like real chocolate chip cookies though, don't they? Little do you know that they are vegan and those chips aren't chocolate... they're carob. MUAHAHAHA! I have fooled you again non-existent readers! In my land... nothing is as it seems. Well anyhow, if you could look past their leaking oil then they were pretty good.

A nice tall glass of soy milk and some vegan carob chip cookies. <3 .... I felt sick after eating them though. Shh. That shouldn't get around or people will stop eating my creations.

Be Kool!

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 08:18:52 GMT

The festival in Dunellon was so not a festival. They lied. It was mostly food vendors and being vegan what could I eat from them? They had funnel cake and I almost cried from not being able to have it. I want my childhood back! I was told to post something so I am, but there's not much to talk about. Zac is a sweetheart and we're married now. haha He's mine! ALL MINE! STAY AWAY! I'm a polygamist. I don't think Zac was aware of that when he married me. I'll just have to surprise him with my other husbands.

Okay, okay. Back to the festival. Santa was great! I love Santa! I'm so gonna get down my vegan cookies and leave him some. I'm also gonna kill Mrs. Claus and marry Santa. He can share the porch with Zac and they can bark at strangers together. He had me sit on his lap even though I wasn't a little kid. Jack too. He asked us what we wanted and we asked for an xbox 360 'cause our brother wants one, but then he was like "But what about for yourselves?" haha Oh, Santa, I love you! So we asked for a sewing machine. I don't think we'll be getting one though. Santa is a poor man. I understand. Give teddy bears to the orphans. I don't need a sewing machine that bad.

Being in Dunellon though we got some nice photos of fun little stuff. haha

Belated Birthday for Grandma

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 02:11:54 GMT

Okay, well it was a weird setup. Her birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year and because of a lot of turmol in the house she got her birthday presents on the 21st, her cards on the 22nd and her birthday cake today. She asked for a two layer chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a heart made on the top. Since becoming vegan I've been baking all of the birthday cakes and stuff and my chocolate cake is the only one that I've really gotten down pretty well. I don't practice as much as I should because when I do I always put on more weight than I can take off and I'm trying to get to a certain weight. Having baked goods every night doesn't help with my lifestyle. lol

The cake as still warm when we put the frosting on. (We're impatient and like cake best when it's warm.) At first the top layer started to slide, but after a moment it stopped. Jack formed the heart out of carob chips (I'd picked them up to make a sort of chocolate chip cookie) and having some left over that we'd taken out we just sprinkled them in the middle of the heart. They started to melt into the cake. lol

A better shot of the mishapen heart. Ignore the cracks in the top of the cake... that's how all the chocolatey goodness gets into the cake. Duh.

Tomorrow we go to the Victorian Holiday Festival. We've never been to one, so it might turn out to be horrible. We'll have to take some granola with us so we have something to eat. If it's not too bad and there's some pretty sights, then I'll put up some pictures.

To bleach or not to bleach...

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 05:18:09 GMT

Nobody on is talking to me, but I dunno if it's just that my messengers are messed up or if they just have other things to do. =/ Laura needs to get on. >_< Are you looooonnnesooome toniiiiight... okay.. yeah. Uhh hmm...

I have to get my ID, but I dun like taking pictures. I'm so gonna wake up Jack early and force her to straighten my hair in the back for me, since I can never get that straight on my own and I'm gonna be checking my makeup in natural light before I leave. No way am I gonna go looking like a powdery freak that tried to straighten her hair but obviously couldn't... not that anyone would care.

Jack is gonna bleach my hair for me, but because it's near the holidays if it screws up it'll always be brought up when the holidays come around again. Of course if we screw up they'll never let me forget anyhow, but it won't be brought up every year. I'm gonna do it though, I think... once I get the supplies.

Happy Birthday, Pop Pop!

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 02:31:22 GMT

My grandfather's birthday was today. I thought he was gonna get himself some apple pie, because he likes that, but then at the last second I found out he was going to eat the cake I baked so he could blow out candles. Everyone likes the chocolate cake, but I still have to work on my vanilla one. Which reminds me, I have to get another bottle of vanilla extract. I used my last on the chocolate cake. =/

Pet Peeve?

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:26:15 GMT

I really really hate when people don't tell you they're leaving and just suddenly put up an away message that has them gone for like hours and hours. I mean why say "hi" to someone and then suddenly go away? Why not just tell them "Oh, sorry, I was just about to leave, but I'll talk to ya later." Isn't it just common courtesy to inform them before leaving? I mean... it's not just a pet peeve, right? It's that I expect people to be at least a little polite. That's not a bad thing.

Well on a lighter note, my mother wanted us to dress up for Halloween (we haven't celebrated it for about 13 years or so) and go see a movie. We all just laughed, but then she wanted to just watch scary movies with us all night instead. I think that's what we're doing. It started out that we were only going to watch old black & white movies, but then we decided to also throw in some actually scary ones. I adore horror movies, so I'm all for it, except for the fact that most of the movies I like are Japanese or Korean... and I know we're not going to be watching any of those.

And a nice photo of Cody to make everything happy again. ^_^ Yay!

Unconflicting Conflict

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:58:29 GMT

I don't get it! Okay, okay. Angel says that I was the one that started everything. Says she made a joke about two characters and I "flipped out" and starting "cursing" at her... which if anyone that knew me and heard her say that would bust out laughing because the worst I ever say is crap. It's just not in me to swear. Well of course I wanted to know what she said that made me so mad, but she stopped talking to me.

Fast forward about a week, I guess (My sense of time is screwed up.) and she messages Laura to chat with her. Now this makes me mad because she's been ignoring all of my messages. (I never start online convos, but for this I made an exception, because I really wanted to know.) So I have Laura confront her a bit and then I find out she says that I was the one ignoring her. Now I'll give her the benefit of a doubt that the messenger is whack and it isn't anyone's fault. So I have Laura give her my aim sn, but Angel says I'm not online... so I get hers, but my list says she's not online. I'm not sure if she's avoiding me and lying to Laura or if it's just a mess of a bad luck.

I still want to know what happened! She won't tell Laura and messengers are no help. I need to stab something now, so I'm gonna go make some food.

Happy Birfday, Mommy!

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:37:02 GMT

She should have told us that she changed her email, because she didn't get the cards we sent. I know she really likes those for some reason, so we always send them. She says not to resend though, so I don't think we will. My grandfather missed the traditional singing of Happy Birthday because he was at work and he didn't get to light the candles, which he always does.

The one wouldn't burn right, but oh well. Another vegan cake, because otherwise I wouldn't have eaten it. lol Mexican Chocolate Cake, the recipe was, and everyone liked it except for the grandparents, but we should have expected that. Next time we're leaving out the cayenne I think and seeing what kind of regular chocolate cake the recipe makes.

20th Birfday Bro

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:28:28 GMT

After long discussions (fights) with my grandmother about the cake (which wasn't even for her to decide since it was for my brother) we finally got to make a vegan cake. It didn't turn out wonderful, but it was still good. It tasted like chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate... or like play dough.

So me and my sister baked him a cake and she sent me out to the store to get him the game he wanted and we watched him play it for a couple hours before we made dinner. It was a pretty good day and all. Time for a picture of the cake!

Alones With Rice

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:21:42 GMT

Laura's all off to camp or something for 3 days. That's fine and dandy, I guess. I mean I still have other peoples to talk to, but I'm not as ZOMGQWHOIHHUEH! with them as I am with her. =/ Not to mention like my internet keeps bumming out and I'm all like NUUUU! And I have to apologize every ten seconds to everyone I accidently left on messenger.

Yeaaaah.

I feel weird. >_< I made this like cheap imitation spanish rice (brown rice, salsa, black beans and mexicorn) and I made way too much (which is usual of me) and now I'm like eating it all the time. I had it for breakfast yesterday, then as a midnight snack, now I'm having it for breakfast again. I have to eat it before it goes bad!

Zune

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:20:56 GMT

After waiting for ages, I got my zune like two days ago. It's pretty nice. I'm happy with it. ^_^ It took me a week of playing mind-numbing games to get it! I still have to get around customizing it. Mhm. I'm just being lazy.

Our grandmother totally freaked out when she first saw Jack's hair, but after that she's stopped talking about it. It's kinda freaky, but nice too that she's not yelling at us anymore.

Dready Girl pt. 2

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:19:39 GMT

After so much work we finally finished, but we might have rushed it and ruined everything. >_< My hands hurt, my arms hurt, my back hurts, this sucks. Hopefully they turn out right. Jack's hair is so dark that it's hard to get a good picture of them. lol It just looks like a mass of hair.

If they don't turn out right she'll blame me. >.> Even though she asked me to do them and I've like never really done hair at all my whole life. I guess it's about time I started though.

Dready Girl pt. 1

Sat, 27 Oct 2007 18:18:38 GMT

I need sugar! Gotta stay up all night dreading my babeh sister's hair. It takes such a toll on the arms. Ouchie. >_< At least I can skip my work out tonight.

Such a tedious process! Mom found out before we wanted her too, but she started to help. hehe Her 70s experiences were really a lot of help. She's pretty good at dreading.

Bento Box!

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:38:34 GMT

Because I have no life I was zoomin around flickr and I saw this person who has like the cutest bento box creations.

Note to self: Get a bento box.

Nipple-free Jewelry

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 08:28:31 GMT

Because there are so many allergies to nipples, there is new nipple-free jewelry. You can find it at the nearest Wal-Mart or you can buy large amounts of it at Costco (where you can also buy portals to hell). Please watch your local stations for advertisements for it to know if it is available in a store near you. Thank you.

I've had this account for ages, but never did anything with it. -feels wasteful- I just usually never have anything to write about. I need to go out more. >_< I'm all inspired though from seeing this one blog. I couldn't read it because it was in Japanese, but I was like awwww. I realized I need to use more photos to show stuff. Things will get more interesting. -wink, wink-
