  • Wow.. August.

    Last picture of cakes, because I quit my old job a couple weeks ago.. Or something, I dunno.  I did a pretty lousy job of quitting so who knows when my actual “quit” day was.  Meh.

    Left cake: Peanut butter & Chocolate.
    Pretty obvious what it is just by looking at it.  XD  Chocolate cake layer, peanut butter filling, another chocolate cake layer, some whip cream, then chocolate coating, with peanuts on top. <3

    Right cake: Very berry..
    Yeah, the red stuff on top is raspberry :3  The purple stuff is berry flavoured mousse, and there’s blueberries on top of that.  The berry mousse is also a layer between two white cake layers. o.o

    I can’t believe it’s August already. (BTW happy birthday to Lisa (my sister) on her 18th birthday, which was yesterday (July 31st).  She’s officially old now, just like the rest of us.)  Summer’s gone by fast.  But then, everything goes by fast.  I still always get the feeling that I’m waiting for something, Kinda the same feeling that you get when you’re still in school, waiting for summer holidays, or the like. It’s commonly annoying for me, because when I stop to think about it, there’s nothing that’s going to happen that’s going to change much, so there’s nothing I’m really waiting for.  It’s an obnoxious feeling.  Especially when I know that there’s nothing that’s going to change it or make it go away, but meh, iono.

    New job starting Tuesday.  >.>  Should be interesting. I need to do something about .. things.. before messing up this job also, but whatever.  I think that if I quit RO and stuff that should help, at least then I won’t have that hanging over me while trying to focus on keeping it together at my new job, eh?  D:

  • Kitty kitty

     

    Ugh.  Well anyway, I quit my job and have had a couple weeks off, which i swear to god i’ve needed.. I still feel shitty, waiting to see the doctor, but my appointment isn’t till the 5th, which sucks alot since it’s after I start my new job… >_>  Kinda bad timing, it would have been ideal to see the doc BEFORE i start the new job so I can be healthy and good to start the new one, but them’s the breaks I spose.

    But yeah anyway, I’m getting bored of RO, probably going to quit soon, (which is probably going to make some certain people go OMFG FINALLY) but yeah, I’ll probably find another game to get addicted to not too far in the future, I can’t help it, I love MMO’s… But it won’t be WoW (or any other game i hve to PAY for) because I’m too fucking cheap for that shit.  =P  I just wanna good game I can mess around in with my sisters and our friends.  If anyone knows any… Any that don’t have graphics or an engine that is too harsh on a computer, cuz Lisa’s comp is kinda old and shitty, so we can’t play anything too graphic-y.. Like Lineage2 for example, we tried that and her computer lags so much its not really even worth playing.. So, if anyone knows any that have less graphics than lineage2, and is kinda cutesy so that Chrissy will enjoy it (I’d enjoy it more too if the characters were colourful and cute.. lol)  then do tell.  The game itself has to be really good too, though. Keep that in mind.  =P

    Oh yeah.  I started drawing more stuff again, as you can see in today’s featured picture. That’s my LunaKitty. Chrissy and Lisa both have their own animal characters, Chrissy is also a kinda kitty, n Lisa has a wolf, so i wanted to make one too. It was my first serious attempt at using my tablet with photoshop.. Before that I just drew a couple pokemon, lol.  But yeah. I guess it turned out pretty nice.

    It’s Princess Mero.  XD   She loves that haro pillow.  No matter where it is, she’ll find it and  lay on it.  =P

    So yeah, after that last post.. I met with the Chef (Chef Grey) at the restaurant id be working at.. It’s really.. really nice.  I decided that I could bite the bullet as far as having to cook again is concerned… Since I found out they’re pretty lenient with the shifts, and the pay is SALARIED?!  wow.  Salary job, starting at 13.50 an hour, meaning.. I will probably make more than that if i stay there longer.  Seriously.  How could anyone turn that opportunity down?  So yea, now I start, first monday in August (the 4th?) at the new place.  I’m a bit nervous working with my old instructor, but I guess we’ll see how it goes. =P

    Hmm..  Yea i dunno, I’ve been crazy lately.  I am not sure what’s up.  Somewhat crazy mood swings, happy, sad, angry. Quite quickly.  Hard to handle it.  x_x

  • This post is a cop-out

    Kinda like these cakes.. Sorta.  I like to call these kinds of cakes “cop-out cakes” because.. I make them when I need cakes fast, and they’re really easy to make. But still tasty~  What they are is always this:  Bottom layer of cake, either white or chocolate.  Layer of whip cream.  Layer of cookie crumble (not unlike that which is put in the center of dairy queen ice cream cakes) either vanilla or chocolate flavoured. Layer of either chocolate sauce or caramel sauce. Layer of whip cream. Topping.  Which is any of a selection of candy crumbles.. Usually smarties or skor, but also reese’s pieces or crispy crunch.  :3  It’s easy, and it’s not really a traditional “cake” so it’s my cop-out cake.  o.o

    I’m a bit concerned today. I’m going to meet with a chef that used to teach me at the college.  He wants me to come work for him at a restaurant out in Lockport, which is pretty much the same distance away from my place as my current work, at the Assiniboia Downs. I’m trying to weigh out the pros and cons of the whole thing, and i still can’t decide what i want to do.. x_x 

    Pros:
    I’d be making $3.50 an hour more than I am now.
    It’s a pretty fancy place, so it’d be nice to get it on my resume.. (not that I ever use my resume)
    I could probably take my apprenticeship under Chef Grey, and learn a lot that way.

    Cons:
    I wouldn’t be just baking anymore, I’d be back in the kitchen.
    My hours would change, and I’d be stuck working full 8 hour shifts again, which i am NOT used to.
    I have to re-explain about my “situation”.. I hate having to do this at new jobs all the time.. I usually don’t, then when something happens I end up quitting instead of explaining myself because i find it easier.

    God I dunno what to do.  I wish I could just not work at all, but that’s.. Just something that isn’t gonna happen.  These kinds of decisions stress me out.. Plus i hate quitting jobs, especially a job like this one, I’m one of only two (and a half) people who can do my job at the place, me quitting would force them to hire someone new.  And leave them in a tight spot.  Right during the busy race season.  -_-  But on the other hand.. I’d be making 3.50 more an hour, which is quite NICE, i’d be able to afford cool stuff (and of course not have time to spend time with it) >_>  I hate working more than I have to..

    Thinking about all this is making my head hurt and makes me wanna just lie down and go to sleep.. I need my pill.. Which reminds me I should get my prescription filled.  BAH

    On a  better note.. The movie Wall-E is adorable. Went last night to see it with my family, and it was just too cute. <3

  • Because there was nothing better to do..

    Here is a picture of a water main leak.  Its making a nice pretty fountain..thing.  Nifty.  The picture is a bit old, but I wanted to use it for awhile, so I figured since I don’t have any good recent pics now is  fine time.  (by the way in case i miss out any A’s in my text.. it’s because my keyboard doesnt’ like to work when i hit A most of the time.)

    I love playing iSketch.  Anyone who has a group of online friends, or … people they are tlaking to online that have nothing better to do, should get together and play iSketch.  I just got done playing it with a group of people from RO, and it was quite entertaining, to say the least.  D:

    I’m jealous of girls with really cute voices. >_>  Guys seem to like to hear them, somehow.  Unfair.  D:

  • Manga is good D:

    If you look at the really super big zoomed in picture, you can see each and every title… There’s some missing, in the Fushigi Yugi line, I borrowed (i think) 6 – 10 out to my friend Jared, and in the bottom row, volume 1 of Million Tears is gone, borrowed to my sister.  I think that’s all that isn’t there, though.  Not a big deal.  Oh, and at the very very bottom end of the line, Yu-Gi-Oh volume 12 is kinda cut out of the picture.  But it was just one thing, and i couldn’t get a better picture.. It was a pain in the ass getting them all in it, i had to retake the pic liek 20~x just to get it centered and not cut any of them off.  D:  I had them all set up on my bed, if i’d put them on the floor it woulda been easier cuz I coulda just stood on my bed to take the pic, rather than standing on the night table with the camera plastered against the roof trying to keep my balance and guess at what the camera was seeing… But I don’t like putting my manga on the floor that much, so I didn’t.  =P

    This picture makes me realize… I’ve been living in my apartment for like.. 6 months?  Maybe 5.. And I stilll have been too lazy to hang up my posters.  XD  I didn’t do it in the winter for a reason, that being, the window sweats from condensation and the wall below it gets really wet, but winter’s been pretty over for awhile now.  But whatevs.  I’ll get to it eventually I guess.  o.o

    I guess I’ll list them for anyone too lazy to try reading them…  I’ll just go across the rows cuz I’m too lzy to put them into alphabetical order. And stuff.

  • Happy Fireworks Day!

    Yeah I was too late to post this on Canada day, because by the time we got out of traffic, got home, and whatever, it was quite past midnite.  =P  So i figured I’d save it till America Day (also known as Independence day, because they think they’re special or something)  But yeah.  :3 

    Had sum fun at the park that day, group of my friends went out for a BBQ and played frisbee, set things on fire, the usual.  ^.^  The fireworks were pretty ok, nothing spectacular, but after you’ve seen fireworks quite a few times, it’s hard to really make them any more spectacular than fireworks always are.  They’re shiny.  XD  It needed more boom and sparkle, problem with that is the show is shorter if they launch them off more at a time. =P

    But anyway lets see… I’m sick, not sure what’s wrong, but my guts have been nagging at me for awhile, sharp pains in my side that come and go as they please, and constant stomach aches (accompanied with things that I prefer not to mention due to it being TMI)  o.o;

    Meh, doctor visit in a couple weeks, since it’s the soonest i could get into my family doctor… >_<  I don’t like seeing the doctor.  I’ve been avoiding going for like a month now.  xD  But it’s gonna be getting me in shit at work so I kinda have little choice in the matter. >_>

  • Storms R fun

    This is my view, out my car window, while i was driving.  The windshield wipers were on, too.  The rain was just coming down like crazy, people were all driving really slow because they couldn’t see.  It didn’t rain that hard for very long, maybe about 5-10 minutes (at least in the area I was) but it was really cool!  Driving along, all of a sudden it was like driving into a wall of water.  Quite neat.  I dont’ mind having a view like that one, the water-logged-ness of my windshield doesnt bug me.. It takes quite a bit for me to even bother turning on my windshield wipers usually.  Cuz they’re sorta annoying.  I dont like the squeaky.. rubbery.. noise… thing.  XD

    And so.. Walk in the rain sounds nice.  o_o  I luvs me sum rains  <3

  • Then there’s a party…

    Hey i used the same (sort of) picture twice in a row. That’s not very random.  D:  Well meh, my sister graduated so this is my photo journal of  things going on.. and that’s going on… So thats why it’s here.  o_o  And dont mind my ramble. I’m hungry and a bit distracted, so I’ll get back to you if you dont understand wtf im talking about. :3  As you can see, that’s me and my sisters again.  XD  Lisa, obviously the one in the prom dress, (isn’t it pretty?) chrissy behind and me on the left, (we’re not quite as dressed up) but yeaaah.  I hate pictures of myself.  Just look at Lisa, she’s the main focus here, not me. 

    Apparently me and chrissy were thinking the same thing, because she said she’d wanna get a picture of me, her, and lisa all in our grad dresses next year when she graduates.  I was thinking pretty much the same thing (and hoping I dont get too fat so i cant squeeze my fat body back in to my prom dress.. D: Motivation for exercise~! ) but yea since we obviously dont’ ahve that kind of pic yet since chrissy has yet to graduate, and I didn’t have my dress with me today.. This will have to do for now:

    Isn’t we pretty.  xD  our dresses are similar in style too, except instead of the white patters, mine has jewels on it (which dont show in the picture.. but they’re there, i swear! )  and yeah.. other differences that are less important so who cares.  o.o

    That is all.. Now that grad is over, back to randomness.  :3

  • My sister growed up? D:

    Picture of : Laura (chrissy’s friend), Chrissy, Lisa and me after lisa’s (long and boring as hell) graduation ceremony thing.  >.>   She’s getting older, its kinda scary how fast they grew up right behind me. But I guess I’ve done the same, but I dont’ really feel that much different.  =P  So i guess that’s all that matters.

    Congratulations to my sis Lisa on her graduation <3 

    Next is your 18th birthday, and our trip to Valley Fair.. WHEE~
