Mad Skills

I has them. :D

And, to show off these mad skills, I have decided to show you a bit of Lasitian, actually written out in it's characters. It's a much more beautiful language that way. :)



The first word is written in English, because it's a name. There is no way to translate names into Lasitian, so... yeah.

And I added that part of the picture on it for fun. :)

That's all for tonight. See ya!

Christmas~

Ah... the subject on everyone's mind... Christmas. It only comes but once a year. Seems to be everybody's favorite holiday. The bright lights, the snow, the peppermint, the advertising...

Even though the idea of Christmas has become, in a sense, polluted, I look forward every year to the carols. Tonight, my little sister had an orchestra concert, and... I cried. I was very touched at the beauty of the songs.

I can't really put my feelings into words... but... my "dream", if you will, is that we'll someday see Christmas as a much less commercial holiday, and more as it should be.

And so comes December~

It has come to this... I can't be doing a cooking blog... because I can't cook much anymore. That's why I haven't posted up anything for a while, so... I'll have to figure out something else to do. Maybe I'll just have the theme of my blog be "Randomness". We'll have to see how that goes over with the teacher. :)

Monkey Poops 2

Alright, here it is. The most epic recipe ever. Monkey poops.

The easiest way to make these is to feed your monkey plenty of chocolate and peanut butter, then wait.

Now, you might have problems with this recipe if you do not own a monkey of your own... so you'll have to do it the other way.

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 c. peanut butter
3 c. oats
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. nuts (optional)

Mix sugar, butter, milk and cocoa over medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Add oats (and nuts), and drop onto baking sheet or waxed paper. Cool for about an hour, although if the desire to eat them sooner arises, go for it.

And so it begins...

Yes, here it is, here is the beginning of my amazing weekly blog. Unfortunately, I do not have a recipe yet. So, for this post, I thought I'd just let you guys know what to expect.

I will try to have a picture or two for every recipe, one of the finished product, and maybe one for... well, I don't know either. But, I'll make it work.

My recipes will be ones that are foreign, not well known, new and strange, or just oddly named. For instance, if you told someone you were bringing desert to the picnic, they would nod and be excited for it. If you told someone you were bringing Monkey Poops to the picnic... well, you get what I'm saying, right?

Also... if anyone has a recipe they want to use, but aren't sure if they're willing to be brave souls and test it themselves... I will gladly try it for you. :D

Monkey Poop...

...is actually really yummy!

Alright, it has been decided. My blog is going to be a cooking blog. My goal is to get at least one new recipe a week, and once I'm done with the play we'll see if we can't upgrade that to two a week. :D

And no, the title isn't just random. You'll see why later.

I have no cool thing for Four...

I just realized that I'm supposed to have another blog up this week. I should probably get one done.

I really don't have much to say... school is going good, I made it into the school play, and I'm turning 16 on Thursday. (Yay me) So... yeah.

Three~ It's a magic number...

Well, here it be. My third blog post.

... I'm really not sure what to do with this blog, to be honest. There are a couple of different things I would like to do, but I don't know which one would be best. I would ask for an opinion , but I have a feeling I wouldn't get much of a response. But, I guess for now, this will suffice.

I think it's like, the middle of October that I have to officially decide on what the focus of my blog is going to be. Most likely, this is going to be a cooking/food blog thing... where I will take recipes that I think look good, or recipes other people are scared to try, and I'll make them, and tell you what I think. Heck, I'll even take pictures to show you how good they look!

The other idea I had, was typing up, just... things that happened around Merit. Like... a journal of sorts, but I'd spice it up. Over dramatize things. Maybe even add a few events here and there. Follow the life of a girl who exists only in my imagination.

Yeah, I don't know either.

I'm still thinking about it. Hopefully I'll get it figured out soon.

And then there was one.

One girl.

One dream.

One destiny.

(Boy, this is ONE really cheesy blog post)

Ah, I'm just kidding. For now, I'm just posting up for the sake of posting up. It works for now, I guess.

Once I figure out what I'm wanting to do up here, then I'll actually start doing something productive. But for now, that's all!
