Do Re Mi

I feel pretty happy today since I finished almost everything I told myself I would do. I had a lot of library books from my last speech's research to return so I went to two different libraries to return them. Yep, I do lots of research..., lol Then I almost finished my self/peer evaluation for our most recent speeches during my break which is cool because that stuff can take a long time. Sooo I'm really close to finishing that. Just one peer evaluation left. I even finished the extra credit assignment, yaa! What's left is studying for my next bio exam and finishing up the bio take home exam. Our teacher is being really cool about it because she gave us the exam today, and is even going to take questions on it for next week if we finish early and have questions. I'm gonna aim for the 100, I don't care if she says hardly anyone gets it for this take home exam. I don't know why, but I've been aiming a lot higher for grades these days and my expec...

I love Gloria. She never fails to make me laugh with her vulgar sense of humor. I don't think of myself as an outwardly vulgar person, but this stuff is amusing to me for whatever reason. Maybe it's like that forbidden fruit complex...

About a couple months ago, I discovered the amazing power of Netflix. I just love the thing! You would think that this would make me want to watch more TV and sit on my ass all day but it doesn't! I'm not much of a TV person to begin with anyway but I don't think that's the only reason. Even my brother who likes to watch a lot of TV doesn't watch for very long. I think it has to do with anticipation or whatever. Like, when you watch cable television, you don't really know exactly what is coming up next and so you have to wait through all these commercials to watch what you want. Maybe it's that. It's weird but that's what I really think is going on. So then people spend hours and hours in front of the TV because they waste so much time waiting for their shows by watching mostly useless commercials. Netflix has no commercials so that's one reason why it totally pwns cable television. With Netflix, I found a lot of... dun, dun, duuuuu...

Wooooohooooooooo!!! I finally rearranged the furniture in my room-! I'm super happy with the arrangement. My room seems to have so much more space in it. It's amazing what moving just a few things can do! Maybe now I can fit a low table in the center. I've been thinking of doing that just so I can enjoy a cup of tea in the comfort of my own room with the cool summer breeze blowing through the window.... And maybe work on school stuff xP. I'll have to find a table that would fit but that's a project for later. Can you see the middle space? It's so amazing, I don't remember having so much space in the middle of my room before! I worked with my mom a couple of nights back on my blanket cover. I'm so happy with it. I wanted the cover to have white on one side and some other color/print on the other. It worked out just like I wanted which is awesome because we don't always get our way in life. So when we do, it's an amazing feeling....

This past Wednesday, I finally got my kakigori ice shaver in the mail~! ^o^ I bought it on Amazon for $25. I really don't care if it was a rip off or not. There's no place anywhere near my house where I could have bought this and I couldn't seem to find it anywhere online. u.u I found it through lafujimama so I'll have to trust her sources. I'm really excited to finally use the ichigo kakigori recipe that lafujimama posted on her blog. She is awesome for sharing that info because I don't know when I would have gotten the idea to make cream ice. I've eaten it before at an awesome yogurt cafe but didn't really know how to make that kind of sweet ice. I found out later that it was sweetened condensed milk. They put cream/milk ice on the bottom, pile on fresh fruits, and put a big swirl of their original yogurt on top. It's soooooo yummy!! I wanna go back now... can't wait until the summer where it will be really hot outside. The yog...

Now I know why I haven't been posting any pics in so long. It's because I accidentally put my camera cord in a box that I stashed away up high in my closet.. Of course it's the last place I look. D: I must have been in denial. So the latest and greatest, I finally baked an apple pie from scratch! Even the filling! Yay~!!! I tried my best with the cross hatch thing on the top of the pie. It seemed difficult at first but it really isn't. I subscribe so some awesome cooking gurus and this recipe was by this Japanese guy. His username is runnyrunny999.. I think his name is contradictory to his videos, you know, the word runny doesn't make me think of anything pleasant. Buuuuuuuuuuuut anyway! Back to the main topic, I think his recipes are awesome; simple yet aesthetically pleasing. More detail of the crosshatch. I added beaten egg yolks on the top to get that crispy brown color. Should have added more egg yolk... damn. I haven't tasted it ye...

I find it kind of weird that I have so much psychological stuff going on in my head but I don't even have a label for it. I thought it would be a good idea to write about things like feelings sometimes because maybe if someone else has the same issue, they can read this and think, hey, I'm not the only one feeling this. Sort of a kinsmanship kind of thing. Omg, so cheesey but whatever! Lets get rollin'! Hopefully this won't sound stupid but even if this may seem like a small issue, lots of these issues combined can make a bigger issue. (wtf too many 'issues'...) So I'm in a class and there's this girl at our table who is senior to the rest of us by at least 5 years. I knew from the very beginning that she was a somewhat controlling person. I usually make character psychoanalysis's at the very beginning of every class for most of my classmates that I see or converse with, of course, they are all hypothetical/theoretical since I don't k...
