No sleep and movie time.

Blog 158

Baking
Till 5:30am. The food we made was delicious. She went home and I went to bed. I actually fell asleep at my computer.

Then I woke up at 11am. Not enough sleep at all.

I did mostly nothing all day. Till I decided that I was going to Mama C's house. Then I did the dishes and waited for her to get here. We then went to her choir and orchestra practice at her church.

From there we contacted Papa and went to his house. We ended up watching singing in the rain. I fell asleep during some of it and would really like to watch it again some time. Its a great movie. ^_^

Went to Mama's house and then slept.

Books and stuffs.

Blog 157


Today was long. is long. will be long. Long long long long long.

Woke up and mom told me that she would take me all the way to school so I went to sleep again. I was tired from the night before because I had stayed up a little after getting home to finally finish the book I was reading. It did that thing where I got to the middle of the book and then it seemed I stayed there forever, not getting any closer to the end. And then just before I was ready to just give up on it, it was over. Anyways...

Chamber.

Not so good. All I have to say is that this should have been handled WAY before this. Like... months ago. It is an auditioned group.

After chamber practice was a family affair. Just the four of us. I wasn't so scared about singing and didn't complain as much, although I am not sure that they noticed. At some point near the end Papa was singing behind me and put his hand on my shoulder. It was nice, but it also reminded me how much I want a massage from him lol.

I then was dropped off at the bus stop and met mom at the mall. She ended up using her credit card to buy a used ds and ps2 for Christmas. I am happy for the gifts, but it would have been fine even without them. Then we went to the pet store and then came home. I made sure that the two systems worked (which the ds will need to go back and be replaced because it does not work right. the ps2 is fine though : D)

I then sat. And sat. And sat. and sat...

Now I am waiting on Rachel to get here. We will be cooking and then I will be spending the night at her house. Yes... cooking. Baking. At midnight.

I love her. : D

Now about books.

I finished the book I was reading last night. It is named 'I loved, I lost, I made spaghetti.' It was a random book I picked up when I went on my library spree. I wasn't sure what the book was exactly about but it looked interesting so I picked it up. All and all it was a good read. I would read it again in the future. I really liked that it had pasta recipes in text. Well, not just pasta. :D On page 19 the perfect way to cook pasta is found:
''Place a large, covered pot filled with water over high heat. When the water has reached a vigorous boil, add a generous dose of salt (salty water is essential to flavorful pasta; it should have the aroma of the Mediterranean.) Add the pasta and let the water return to a boil, then give the pot a few good stirs. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is still firm to the bite but no longer chalky. You should taste it after about 8 minutes to see where it is. You can't time pasta you can know it's done only by tasting it."
It was really cute when she would add in little comments in the recipes about what was going on in the story at that time. Things like Fuck-you cakes where the ending line of the recipe is:"Do not over mix, as this will make for tough cupcakes and you've suffered enough." lol.

I really like books. Like, a lot. When I went to the library and went on that spree Tom had to stop me at 7 books... When I didn't even get the books I had went in there for. (Which btw the one book that I REALLY want to read is currently sitting waiting for me at the library. sadness.) I just was walking around and the titles would jump out at me. I enjoy reading and haven't been doing as much recently. So far I have read 3 of the books and have decided against reading one of them. There are only 3 left but I have till the 10th to finish them.

The book I decided to not read is titled 'Because I am furniture.' I picked it up simply for the title. But the whole book is written in a sort of poemish form that really bothers me. There isn't a full page of text in the whole book. Its all half pages. Not really what I was looking to read.

I have completed 'Mischief Maker's Manual' (which was more for little kids but was cute and I liked it) 'Write Naked' (AMAZING BOOK <3) The one I just talked about. I rejected that one up there. I have left to read 'Girls in trucks' (which I just started and I don't know if I will like it enough to finish it) 'eat pray love' (which might be too much like the I loved, I lost book and so I might not read this one.) and 'For lovers only' (which is one of the random ones that jumped out and I picked up without looking to see what it is really about. Its subtitle is 'three times the temptation equals irresistible desire...' Yeah... we shall see about this one).

It is time to go and be cookingness.

"Something ahs come up and I have to leave early"

blog 89
Start time 9:45 pm.

Wow... I'm actually writing a blog about the day that it is. xD

So woke up after only a few hours of sleep, with out an alarm. xD
Checked my phone and saw a bunch of calls from Tom. Called him and he told me that he wasn't going to school because he wouldn't have enough gas to get him back home. I laughed and told him that he was silly and that I would buy the gas, since I had made him drive me everywhere.
So then I rush to get ready and print my out line for my China thing. Laptop was being really slow and lame.
Finally got Laptop to work and Printed out my paper.
Tom showed up and this time I was actually ready to go.
Then we stopped for gas and I got 2 go girls and 3 different kinds of gum.
Actually that gas station stop reminded me about something from paper towns.
Went to school. Choir was good.
Went and did presentation for China. Then left the class early because "something had come up."
That something happened to be the Italian test today. xD
Took test. Was crap.

Then I decided to try and get a ride home from Parker because he is awesome like that.
Well... long story short we decided that we should all go to c-bar-c. So Taka, Parker, Rachel, and I got into his car and headed to the park. First we needed to get gas though so we stopped.
Then got to the park, but park was full, and I mean FULL of cars and little kids and adults that owned the kids. So then we came to my house to try and find a better park that wasn't so full.
Well, that turned into me making Grandpa diner while they all sat in my dirty room and played Smash brawl. Then as the hamburgers were cooking I came back into the room to turn on my slow laptop. Then I sat and watched them play until we all heard a Loud Beeping Noise.
Guess what that beeping noise was?
THE FIRE ALARM.
yep. I forgot about the hamburgers that were on the stove ON HIGH.
So Then we all run out and try to shut the alarm off, let all the smoke out, make sure nothing is on fire and calm my Grandpa down. XD
It was great...
So nothing caught fire, but the hamburgers were burnt and it was really smokey. lol.

After I then made two more hamburgers we all sat and didn't know what to do.
So we played for a while.
Then we went to the store and got some books and art stuff for Taka.
xD
And we wrote an awesome story that can be found in Rachel's blog.
Then came home and cleaned like a freak before my mom got home.
Fun stuffs.

End time 11:12pm
