I spend my days off in the kitchen too!
I have now made a habit of cooking everything I need for the week on Sundays. I make pizza and rice-for-burritos and tortillas and bread so I don't have to buy anything the rest of the week. Makes my life a lot cheaper and a little bit happier since I don't have to attempt to buy food during the week. (Except Thursdays, because I'm not home). But I think it's pretty cool. I enjoy saving myself 3.50 on tortillas. And like...2 on bread. That's 5.50 a week! ...
So I'm collecting recipes from people to add to my collection! I have a couple from the chick in Sarah's new movie, and some from Mr. Cameraman! I want to get at least one from each person who comes into this house. That I know.
If I had a million dollars I would feed as many people as I possible could.
We had to decorate a wedding cake for our final in school, so now I have this gigantic, three-tiered styrofoam cake decorated all pretty-like sitting in my front room. I have no idea what I could possibly do with it. I can't throw it away, because I spent a good...30-35 hours working on it, but there's no room or reason to keep it here. I think I'll take it to my parents, and let them throw it away! As long as they don't tell me when.
Ok! So it's taken me a while but I finally did that completely retarded thing I was planning to a while back. Kind of...At least, in my own special way I did. I would say I made myself pretty clear, but then again, reading my own thoughts isn't particularly difficult. I'm just glad I didn't...wuss...out. I have absolutely no idea if it made any difference whatsoever.
And last but not least, I am the ultimate champion of all bread wars! I think it's funny how I now have two scars from bread.

Mathematically Impossible:
So somehow with a job at 32 hours a week (minimum) I have a lot less money than I did without a steady job. That makes no sense to me. But I guess that's what happens when you have a job where you get no tips. That hasn't happened in a really long time. I really, really look forward to paydays now!
Asking for a raise is a lot easier than one would think. Getting one, however, is an entirely different story...
5 more weeks of school...!!! I'm so excited to be done. Except for the whole lack of health insurance. Well, Kaiser doesn't know I don't live at home, maybe they won't know I'm out of school? Hooray for withholding information!
Last night was the full read-through for Sarah's 'True Perfection.' It was awesome! The cast is great and everyone definitely got into their roles. Being completely new to this whole film stuff, it's crazy watching things go from spoken ideas, to paper, to people. Man there's a lot of narration though...
I'm starting to actually write down all the foods I make for Matt and I. If I do it right I think I could sell a rather useful cookbook for people who want to feed their friends/roommates for under 20$ a week. Or just themselves for under 30$ a month.
And one last thing! I'm planning on doing something probably really stupid soon. But I'll have to do it or my brain will explode. Don't you just love that feeling of nervous-excitement that makes the pit of your stomach feel like it's not even there?! 'Cause I don't.

But...I just posted the other day...
So apparently my days go by a lot faster than I think they do. I can't believe August is already half-way done!
I'm becoming more and more excited for the end of school. A lot of it probably has to do with me needing to not hurt myself there anymore: Last Saturday I had an interesting run in with boiling pastry cream to the face. That was excrutiatingly fun! (and that was the first time I've ever used that word in the correct context!) At least I got to nap at the ER for a bit. I'm perfectly fine now (thank you neosporin for existing), albeit nervous around pastry cream.
I'm reading Palahniuk's Haunted right now, and my stomach is kind of...churning... He writes so, well, hauntingly that it stays in your mind for way longer than you'd want it to. I highly recommend his books though; they're almost Steven King-esq. Only not all the same.
And some news about OTV stuff: we are now 3 people! Which makes scheduling so incredibly easier. Our new photoshoot was a lot of fun. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like having my picture taken! I think deep down we're all narcisisitic (because self-awareness makes us human) and anyone who says they hate their picture taken are really just trying to get attention. Granted, bad pictures exist, a lot.

New people are awesome
So now we have two new people on OTV! I think, believe, and hope that they will work out wonderfully.
I think sometimes, when I'm really tired, I have a problem of reverting to being about 8 years old. Or maybe 12, when the world begins to open up and you start understanding things, but you're still holding onto all those weird traits younger children have. Only I'm 21 and doing that... It's amusing though! I laugh at least. And that's what matters. I can only make other people smile if I'm happy!
Work is wonderful, but sometimes I wish that it wasn't over 9 hours most days. I start to get tired at certain points and I can feel myself not working at full capacity.
There's nothing more frustrating than not doing things as well as you know you can. But I'll get used to it!

Whee!!! I'm 21! My parents bought me my first legal drink!
So I turned 21 on Wednesday! Yey! I actually feel a lot different. I see the different types of alcohol and stuff at work and realize "holy shit I can buy that!" and it's cool. Not like I will anytime soon, since money is a no-have for me, but still...the possibility that I can make some kick-ass drinks and stuff for friends when they come over is awesome. Eventually I want a full/semi-full bar that people can order lots of different types of drinks from. I think that would be awesome! especially since people are a lot more prone to buying desserts when they're slightly drunk than when they're sober. That and I don't like cheap beer.
Sometimes I wish my palette wasn't so sophisticated. It would make my life a lot cheaper.
And the interesting happenings for the night include, but are not limited to: having a long, interesting drunken-ish conversation with my mom (and my dad, sometimes interjecting when he could), having my parents' car towed, and making my little brother so embarrassed that his voice cracked constantly. Yey!
Sometimes I really, really appreciate my family. As fucked up as they may have been in the past, I think they are doing a great job of fixing everything. It gives me hope for their future, my future, and that everyone can grow up learning from their past.
I love successful procreation!
And yes, that is very captain planet of me. The Power is Yours!
