My fridge is a mess. I put all sorts of things in there, and then forget about them and they...well, they aren't things that go bad, they're things that go stale. I remember the things that go bad, but things like Kit Kats, Oreos, Pocky--they all somehow escape my notice. And it's not that they taste bad, just a little...weird? They're not as crunchy as they're supposed to be, and not quite as sweet anymore. They remind me of frozen bananas.
Just something that my Foods and Nutrition teacher taught me in the tenth grade. My household never really has bananas. We like them, but only in small amounts, and we're very slow when it comes to eating a bunch. So we never bought them, why waste them? But my dad went to the doctor's and there was this thing where his doctor had a list of foods that my dad should eat every morning. I can't remember why, it wasn't that important that he did it--and he stopped after, like, a month--but I remember my mom and I being all pro-bananas, yeah! afterwards and we had this horrible time where we were left with overripe, mushy, brown bananas. My Foods teacher suggested I put them in the freezer because the banana peel browns, but the inside is perfectly fine--albeit, mushy, I think she said--and perfect for baking. Well, I never got to it, because we stopped buying such big bunches of bananas, but this is how I feel about the chocolates and biscuits I've left in the fridge. They're not rotten, but they're not perfect anymore either, and no one wants to eat them just as they are. I need some sort of recipe to integrate them into my food. I will not waste.
So how brilliant is this: Kit Kat cheesecake bars? What can't you find on the internet?
For extra marshmallows, extra bananas, extra chocolate,
It's not exactly the season for beanies, but cRAfter Chick has a ton of free beanie patterns! (ohmygod, Finn and Jake hat!)
amiguruMEI has a lot of super cute free patterns, like sleeping Totoros!
I have no idea if this is true or not, but apparently a Canadian quarter with a glow-in-the-dark dinosaur opposite to the Queen has been created. What is this. Where can I get one of these?
(This was a post I made in August, but for some reason instead of clicking "publish" I clicked "save". Whoops, I made a boo-boo.)

New Beginnings
College is so great, you guys. You don't even know. Granted, I am going to a college in a small town, so the largest class I have has about 24 students....but it's so fantastic. I can't even express how much I love business.
For example, in my marketing class, we have to design a product that the citizens of this town would like to have, but cannot find in stores. Therefore, there's a market for it. "Design" is used loosely to indicate something we fabricate. The idea doesn't have to be of our own creation, though. If there's a product in, let's say, France, that you loved using while there, but can't find it in this small town, you can use the idea of that product. But since it can't be found you're going to have to create it. See?
So I decided to do hot chocolate on a stick. It's like, chocolate on the end of a skewer or spoon, and you just mix it in hot water or milk...instant hot chocolate!
The only problem is my partner (also the person who sits beside me, also a fellow highschool graduate who went to the same highschool as me and was actually in a few of my classes...) is a f*cking pain in the ass. The first week of classes was fine, but at the start of the second week, he became such an arrogant jerk--and he's not even better than me in our classes. We're equal, and occasionally I've had to explain things to him, yet he feels the need to express how much better he is than I am. PLUS HE WON'T LISTEN. This is a GROUP project. No, you cannot "I don't care", "it doesn't matter", or "whatever" me. This isn't my first time doing group projects with people like you--smarten up or I WILL SMARTEN YOU UP. Ahem.
...Although, it could be me. Maybe he doesn't realize it? Maybe that's just his personality and I never knew? Maybe he really hates this project? I mean, it's not as if I haven't been a little edgy this week...
But, yeah, it's a brilliant idea I found while perusing the internet! Who knows what other sort of wonders lie out there? Oh, I know! A NEW HARRY POTTER MOVIE.
Perfect segway. I don't even care that it's not about Harry. It's a freaking extension of the HP universe, can I get "I LIIIIIIIIIIVE!"?
On that note, one of my friends--and my "Asian" twin (not really, but who cares, anyway?)--is going to Harry Potter World. What. She's going to surprise me with souvenirs--SQUEEEEEEEEE. <3
All for now,

Oh, hi. I didn't see you there. At all.
So it's been a while. And I am a lame-o.
Since my last post, school ruled my life. THIS WAS MY LAST YEAR OF SCHOOL--ohmygodI'vegraduated. Yes. So, after a physics final, a chem final, math tests, a huge law final project, dry grad, prom, school events, scholarship night, awards night, an English retest, college administration/application/complicationssssss--all crammed between work--I got sick. Like, really sick. It started right after all my responsibilities to school had ended...on June 28th or so and I'm still sick. It's better now, though--a lot better--but I still cough quite a bit after waking up and before bed and still get dizzy on occasion.
Anyway, point is, last week I celebrated my birthday. This kind of brought me back to life (I admit, I tumblr a lot, because SO MANY PRETTY PICTURES) And now I'm back on the internet. Not deviantArt yet, though. I'm feeling...meh about art right now. Like, I have no creativity whatsoever. Just curiousity. And that is what this is for. :)
I've been baking experimentally, lately:
Whisk Kid
Diamonds for Dessert
In your back pocket...(not really a baking site)
Oreo Cake (Because oreos are heaven)
Christine's Recipes (DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU'RE ON A DIET. Everything looks so good but so many egg yolks in the cakes....)
(Also, remember that thing about reverse harems/ male harems I mentioned a few posts back? Reverse Harem Garden to deal with all your bishie needs!)
I need to get back to crafting. Seriously. There are so many good projects out in the world that I have yet to try...
Craft Passion
Japanese Clay Modelling Tutorials, anyone?
Zakka Inspired (because I'm so Asian.)
I've been wondering how to embroider. But not just embroider, I've seen these napkins on the interwebs with comic book pictures on them. Like, line up all the napkins, and you've got some pretty unique book club entertainment (I've never been to a book club, I don't know what I'm talking about. All I know is that they are AWESOME and words cannot desccribe my awe.) Well, I've discovered it! It's called Sashiko. Sake Puppets explains and demonstrates!
And nooks. Recently I've been daydreaming a lot. It's gotten ridiculous. I'll tell myself, "Wake up. Then brush your teeth, then comb your hair." and I'll reach for my comb and forget what I use it for...because I've spaced out that badly. In my daydreams--of being a mystical ninja-warrior-princess that will save all, a peasant who's far more intelligent than the nobles who surround her, of an the perfect school day at the perfect school and returning to the perfect room--I've been building a house. An imaginary house filled with secret zombie escape routes and music rooms, hidden doors and secret passages, and my own personal space. My house isn't large. It's not small, but it's not large. So...I've imagined building several houses. Some gigantic, like Victorian-themed mansions, some tiny, like Asian apartments, and some normal western houses. I've become obsessed with tiny spaces. I don't know why, since I'm not particularly fond of small spaces, and I'm kind of large. Not buff or muscular, not tall, I'm chubby. So, small spaces means clumsiness and I hate that. But I am obsessed with tiny Asian apartments. And decorating them. And nooks came to be my way of expressing that. (That and dorm rooms. FuckYeahDormRooms on tumblr anyone?) I don't know why they're called nooks. I must have read it off of a blog and it kind of stuck. (probably In Your Back Pocket.) Basically, in my mind, they're just small living spaces.

Panda Mural!
School has been CRAZY. Like, besides exams and homework, I also have this four feet by four feet board on which I'm currently painting a panda. Yeah, brah. I want to post a picture of it when I'm finished, but I'm no photographer.
ANYWAY, my parents starting watching a historical drama based on the Qing Dynasty called Bu Bu Jing Xin, or Startling By Each Step in English. I LOVE IT. But it gets so sad near the end. I learned later that it was based on a book written in 2005 or something? Something like that, and I really wanted to read it...so look what I found! Bu Bu Jing Xin in ENGLISH!
Also, I got a tumblr. Yes.
