Ever let stuff pile up so long that you just want to ignore everything and hope it fixes itself? I just did that for quite a long time. It didn’t work so well so now I’m just trying to reorganize my life. It’s actually rather refreshing. Reorganizing this website is one bit I’m starting with–I really miss having an outlet.

Some Stuff I’ve Been Doing for the Past Year

1) Hanging out with my great grandmother. She decided not to get her pacemaker replaced when she found out it was dying so, unfortunately, in August, she passed away at 101. She was an awesome, hilarious, ridiculously strong lady and I feel horribly sad for anyone who never knew her.

2) Making the World’s Best Chocolate Cupcakes. My mom doesn’t even like cake or frosting and she effing loves my chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting–both homemade and amazing.

3) Playing entirely too much World of Warcraft. I’m excited for the new expansion on December 7th. >.> Lemme know if you play WoW. :D

4) Having completely epic conversations with many of my friends. AIM, how I love you and your support of my capslock fests.

5) Making a lot of jokes involving your mother and/or your face. Or just other people’s moms in general. It’s a weakness, I’ll admit it.

Stuff I Want to Do

1) Get a job ASAP. \o/ I like monies and I need MOAR MONIES to go back to school eventually and to buy a new computer.

2) Bake and cook more. I have a ridiculous love for cooking blogs with flashy photography, not going to lie. And right now I want jambalaya more than most things in the world. The things I do cook are generally awesome, but my cooking repertoire is sorely lacking variety. I’d like to work on that quite a bit.

If you have any favorite cooking websites or blogs, I’d love to hear about them, even if they’re specialty or vegan or focusing on meat, I don’t care. XD I love all sorts of food.

I love baking in particular and I inherited my other grandmother’s recipe box when she passed away eight years ago this month. I’m UNSTOPPABLE. You haven’t lived until you’ve had her maple cookies with maple icing. I’ll post the recipe when I next make them and can take pictures. :)

3) Move to Bellingham. I moved there on a whim in the summer of 2009 and loved it. I love the town, I loved the nature, I loved the rent prices… I plan to move back after I’ve saved up a bit of cash.

4) Get into photography. I’ve never really owned a good camera or a camera at all until sometime last year. I’ve always wanted to get into photography because I can’t draw or paint or any of that, but I frequently have these really strong visions in my head that I feel the need to capture or recreate or sometimes I just see a scene that I’d like to immortalize. After I’ve saved enough money to move and get a new computer, I think I’ll save a bit of extra money to get a decent camera. I’m not sure what to start out with though but my budget is pretty limited.

5) Blog and write regularly again. I’ve always assumed I was going to be a writer, but I’ve gone about this dream by avoiding writing which seems like entirely the wrong thing to do. This is as good of an outlet as any.

I’m filled with nerdrage and rant relatively frequently. Long ago I used to post these in my LiveJournal and it seemed to be the posts people enjoyed the most–as well as the posts I enjoyed writing the most.

As I mentioned above, I have all sorts of little projects I’m getting into (cooking, photography, etc.) and having a place to log that would be fantastic.

5) Get more involved with my online communities again. In addition to the blogging community, I want to get back into my LJ social circle, etc. Life has been crazy and pulled me away, but I’d like a stable foundation in my online groups again.

Hmm, that list ended up a bit longer than I thought.

EDIT: I realized I have two number fives on the second list but I think I’ll leave it that way. <.<

So, my female sim is having freaking triplets, right?

While she’s in labor, her husband is running about like his hair is on fire, completely flipping out.

And then goes and gets himself some leftover apple cobbler, surveying the debacle from the kitchen table.

All the while his wife is still dropping babies all over the g-ddamn place.

And then, after the whole ordeal is over, he has the nerve to complain that HE is tired.

 

 

So I killed him.

This hilarious clip reminds me how much I love both Japanese television and video games (no matter how much they enrage me). I particularly enjoy the two combined.
