Today has been the coolest day ever.
Woke up, nice and cool in my room- rolled over, called Ryan. We go to the junkyard:
There in the junkyard is the only Z. An '87, all the parts have been scrapped from it, except the doors. I now have the two window motors plus extra parts that I needed!
Then we leave, weather's PERFECT on the road: blue skies, cool air rushing through the windows, great music on the radio. AWESOME. Once we head back, I leave for the mall. Stop in the thrift store and what do I find? a suit (pants, jacket, vest) in dark brown with blue pinstripes, it's the perfect fit on me; this thing is pre-tailored, fits me like a glove, and looks wonderful. I head to the mall, and a pleasant chat, watermelon lemonade, and pretzel later I'm heading home. I get home, I decide to go for a walk and end up coming across a group of little kids with amtgard swords and wound up teaching them stuff, fighting with them and joking around. BAM! 4 new amtgarders for the par on the way back I stop as on this little grassy hill is sitting the most beautiful fox I have ever seen: golden orange fur, fluffy and healthy- calm as can be just watches me, then looks around, lays down and just relaxes. I sat there for a solid 20 minutes easy just taking it all in- the setting sun in it's fur, how calm and peaceful it was not letting anything bother it; not the bikes, or joggers, not me, not dogs- nothing. (Side note: me seeing foxes is a always a sign that I'm doing things properly in my life) And now here I am at home with a smile in my face and the music of the world in my head

Dear Lewis,

When having friends over for a TV party, generally you ask the owner of said TV for it's use- especially if said owner was going to be using his TV for the night.



-----------------

Dear Lewis,

When using the kitchen, and you do not clean up a mess; it makes you look like an ass to blame others for not cleaning up said mess and claiming it is theirs.


-----------------

Dear Lewis,

When Vacuuming in the morning or afternoon, it is usually proper procedure to make sure people aren't sleeping before starting your cleaning regime.


----------------

Dear Lewis,

It is in no way shape or form proper to listen in on an others personal phone conversation and then berate them about it; and then call them 'childish' when they explode on you for inviting yourself into their personal affairs.


----------------

Dear Lewis,

Telling your friends that you hate your roommate's cat when he's never done anything worthy of even being disliked for is not only rude and disgraceful, it tends to piss him off especially when he's in the other room.

----------------

Dear Lewis,

When having company over, you should always receive permission for them to touch a room mate's things. Especially when said room mate finds that things have been left in ways they should not be.


----------------

Dear Lewis,

When inviting people over for a party, it's generally well-mannered to invite everyone in the house to at least see if they'd be interested in partaking.

----------------

Dear Lewis,

Helping oneself to an others food is expressly rude. Especially when having no intention of replacing it.


----------------

Dear Lewis,

No one else wants to live the way you do, get over it as you are not the singular owner of the household.

----------------

Dear Lewis,

When receiving vast amounts of gratuity, it is generally insinuated and observed that some form of reciprocation be given. Receiving and not reciprocating, ever- generally leaves a bad taste in other's mouths.


----------------

Dear Lewis,

As mature as you feel yourself to be, you haven't the right to regard the maturity or life choices of those around you- especially when those under scrutiny already know how they're playing their lives out and understand what happens with each action they take.

----------------


Goodness I wrote a lot didn't I?

Current Mood: annoyed

So tonight is the first night of my photo-documenting the culinary creations of my own design.
I thought it would be a wise idea to share the delicious things that I bring to the table, and who knows, maybe something neat will come of it.


Tonight's dish:

Cajun broiled Atlantic Salmon with Crab Cakes and sauteed vegetables.






The Salmon is fresh, and broiled for about 14 minutes while coated in a thick Cajun sauce.
The vegetables are green onions, kale, and curled carrot strips sauteed in virgin olive oil, and topped with a tsp of salt, and lemon pepper. The crab cakes are sauteed quickly with a bit of lemon juice on top. Black pepper for garnish and there you have it.

It changes me.

Right now, I'm more in love than I've been in a very long time. I fling that four letter word around a lot, and with it various forms of it's meaning. But The strongest I have ever used it is right now being used for my darling Kalie.

I love her more than words can describe. She completes me. She makes me feel like myself again. I don't need to hide anything or act any kind of false around her... she loves me, for who I am, what I do, and the things I say.

I'm in love, and I feel wonderful- it's a breath of fresh air, a step back from the hustle and bustle of the world... to have this feeling  I can confide in, and someone I can really truly trust with every ounce of my heart.

She's more than I deserve; a princess in cotton- and I'll do everything possible to always keep her happy, safe, and a smile always on her face.

So I'm in California, and a little over halfway through my trip.

This was something I was really looking foward too... but...

I may as well have stayed behind for christmas.

Honestly? Other than seeing Renee and Russ and their kids on the eve, it's kinda been boring and infuriating.

For the first couple of days, I was woken up round 7 or 8 in the morning by my little sister and Butch's little girl screaming and BLARING sesame street in the living room. I was given the living room couch as a bed, no privacy or silence for me.

Then my cousin Shelby came over early one morning, woke me up, and practically threw me off my couch to pass out on it. I honestly wanted to kick her in the face, but I was far too tired to.

It's after christmas, dad and I were supposed to go snowboarding, but since uncle Shawn is at the hospital with my cousin Aaron (something's very wrong with his kidney) dad has no one to drive us up to Tahoe. I just got outta the theatre with mom and Brianna after seeing The Day The Earth Stood Still. Not a very good movie by my standards. It was alright, but it didn't really do much for me.

So now I'm at my Nana and Grandpa's, about to have dinner with them, with 4 days remaining till I come home; and unfortunately, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm terribly bored.
Everyone else is far too busy.
This trip so far has been less than worth the time and investment.

So there's a fan of wolfy and I's in Nebraska- she saw our pics and just fangirled, and started talking to us and photoshopping some of our pictures up on Deviantart.

At one point I told her that we wouldn't be able to make Nebraskon this year, so she said she'd send us a package.

I was not expecting this.

The package contained:

2 bamboo umbrellas.
2 fans with matching chopsticks.
A picture of Vash, Wolfwood, Milly, and Meryl. (Freaking ADORABLE!)
two to and from tags with an assigned Vash in one and Wolfwood in the other.
2 Nebraskon booklets each filled with each special guests autograph and a Vash and a Wolfwood hand drawing.
Sweet crackers, some candies.
And two chinese red envelopes.
And one little letter that made me melt into a puddle upon reading it.

I'll post the pictures later.
