Holiday Mix.

[fifthdream]

Why am i awake? i got sleepy at about 1:30am and decided i'd just go to bed. But i woke up four hours later. Ehh, at least i have breakfast: rice with milk, sugar, and butter. Mmmm.

Been meaning to post for a while, but i've been so occupied with fun things, i haven't had time. Or, rather, i felt like doing fun things, rather than posting.

Fun things? Yep. Like having even more stuff ftom the library: Fruits Basket Volume 17 (still need to read 16), and 300 and Jet Li's Enforcer on DVD. (I've also got "Sakuran" and "Nana 2" to watch, now, but not from the library).

I've been doing some cooking. I made corn chowder and croutons the other night, and they were both really good, espceially considering that i had no recipe whatsoever for either. (I mean, croutons aren't hard, but i made the corn chowder by just throwing random ingredients together.) I also made milk chocolate cupcakes, with butter cream frosting and chocolate sprinkles on top.

The cupcakes were part of my Annual Christmas Food Cooking Insanity. It's usually just Annual Christmas Cookie Cooking Insanity, because i make a ton of cookies and sweets, but this year i upgraded it to other food, too. I just had the urge a couple of week ago to make the cupcakes, so i decided to use the excuse of Christmas to have some, they'll hold me over until i get to making the real stuff. I plan on making pecan balls, hello dollies, lemon bars, chex mix (probably a sweet variation), more cupcakes (white, with red and green jello, whipped cream, and sprinkles on top), and chocolate chip, cherry chip, peppermint chip, and gingerbread cookies. I also want to make a deli tray-ish swort of thing on Christmas Eve for the family, with vegetables and dip, and celery with cream cheese and raisins, and some chips and dips and such. Also, i hope to make some peppermint ice cream on Christmas. My sister is making a log cake, too, and maybe something else i can't remember. (Crap, i forgot animal crackers and rice krispies for treats.) I also have bags of Christmas hard candy and a few boxes of candy canes. Mmmm, sugar.

Besides the cupcakes, something else Early-Christmasy is i got Zone Of The Enders in the mail. I would have save it for Christmas, but i had to see if it worked so i could leave feedback on eBay (which reminds me: i should do that soon). I got it Friday afternoon, and beat it last night around 11. Heh. Short, but it was decently fun, and had a nicely demented story. Worth having just for the title song i love, and to keep me from getting too antsy before Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas: if anyone wanted to get me a small present, i'm always begging for LJ paid time. ;P Now's the time when they have that deal again that if you gift someone some paid time, they get extra userpics for free. Maybe that'll sway someone. ;D I just really wanna correct the url to my webpage (which i can't edit without a paid account), and save my old userpics from deletion for another six months. Thanks in advance (and many more to come afterwards), if anyone is so kind. ::bows::

I think i'm caught up on entry-type stuff, so i suppose i'll waste some time with a survey.

1. Last person you had a deep and meaningful convo with?
Darla, when she called for a couple of hours Friday afternoon. We talked politics (kinda odd), and friends, and it was good.

2. Where was the last place you went?
To the kitchen.

3. If you could be with your first love, would you?
Who i consider that would be is different depending on the day. So i guess it depends on who you mean.

5. Look at your 3rd friend think about it, do you really like them?
Third "friend" is a band, but third real friend? Yes, she's very talented, and i have good memories of her.

6. What was the last thing you highlighted?
The last answer here, so i could overwrite it.

7. Who is the last baby that you held?
No idea.

8. Do you know of any twins with rhyming names?
No, just ones with the same first letter in their names.

9. Are you ticklish?
Painfully so.

10. Have you ever worn a crown?
Yes, and i deserve to again.

11. Last time you saw fireworks?
In the summer, as I was standing in my lawn... <-Kept. Change "lawn" to "driveway".

12. Who is the last person you hugged?
Ashe.

13. Do you have a black dog?
No.

14. Do you have a little black dress?
No.

15. What color is your underwear right now?
::Checks.:: Black.

Darla.

Yeah, quite a bit.

19. Reason behind why you last cried?
It was a long time ago, when i was worried about someone.

20. How much cash do you have on you?
Cash? What's that?

25. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
Like two from eight years ago. I'm sure they're no good anymore.

26. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to change a regret?
Money erases a lot of regret. Or at least makes you forget about it.

27. Whats on your mind right now?
That "what's" needs an apostrophe, and that when you ask me what's on my mind, it goes completely blank.

28. Do you have a deep dark secret?
Many.

29. Wouldn't you rather be with your "lover" right now?
Sure. You know, assuming you define what and who that is.

Er.

31. What was the last thing you ever got grounded for?
I got grounded once, for an afternoon, for flashing my wang to a girl when i was a little kid.

32. What was your childhood nickname?
I don't think i had one. Though a Garbage Pail Kid had a name dangerously close to mine (first and last), and it ALMOST became that, but i avoided it.

33. Do you have any strange phobias?
Aren't all phobias "strange"? If they were normal fears, they wouldn't be "phobias", they'd just be scared-of-somethings.

Nope.
