Another Lazy Summer Day...

I like how laid back it is in summer, but I really wish it'd be the time for me to be able to enhance my talents. I know one really doesn't need cooking lessons (just as long as you get to boil water and turn the stove on, you're good to go and all that jazz), but then, I want to learn more. I want to create more dishes I was afraid to try before because peers would always claim how "difficult" or "time consuming" making the dish is, but for me, the best food is made by taking things step by step at a steady pace.

I had read once in a comic book that when one cooks, one has to have positive feelings so that the food will make its consumers experience joy just through the consumption of the dish. At first I really didn't pay much attention to this, but today, I officially believe this.

Today I wanted to make a healthy lunch (none of those greasy leftovers re-fried by the maid and turned into piping hot, even more greasy food if you please.) so yeah, I made some white sauce for those pasta noodles shaped like the wheels of a cart. While cooking it, some old pervert at our backyard decided to partially show me the action of him, 'scuse my language, jacking off. So yeah, it really did set me off since he did that yesterday too. When I cooked my lunch, I had someone taste the sauce, and it was just right. After eating it, I had developed stomach pains, and you get the after-effects. I checked all the ingredients, and none were past their expiration date, and I had thoroughly fried the bacon bits, so why did I develop a tummy ache? Strange...

I hope someday I'll be able to live in a different house, far away from that old maniac (if castration on human beings wasn't banned, I swear...) so that I'll be able to cook with not too many bad thoughts buzzing through my brain.

Being Sentimental or Just Lazy?

Lately I've noticed my undying love for trying to finish video games (I'm a hardcore gamer gal) but then, when it comes down to it (by that, I mean the FINAL boss of the games) I either immediately avoid the final boss by leveling up my characters like an obsessive hikkikomori, or buy new games and forget about the games I'm almost done with.

Take for example...Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (main character being former baron Leon Belmont). I used up much of my time, which could have been devoted to other things (sleeping, reading, studying *blah*) but I simply had to try and finish the game, and you could only imagine how heavy my eye bags were. The sad part of it all, was, at the almost end of the game, I simply stopped playing it. I had no idea why I had the sudden spark of laziness in finishing a game I spent countless days (maybe 3 weeks) trying to finish AND search every nook and cranny JUST to make sure I missed NOTHING.

Anyway, my brother was the one that got around to finishing it, so yeah, I forgot about Castlevania, and moved on to Final Fantasy X-2 (Yuna, Rikku, and Paine) which I repeated twice just to try and get the perfect ending. Then when I was already in the Farplane (going to have a face-off with that Vegnagun). I started that file...2 years ago. To this day I have not touched it. OTL

There were some games I had managed to finish (Kingdom Hearts, other Final Fantasies, Zelda:Phantom Hourglass, and TWEWY, etc...) so I still wonder why I became lazy in finishing those other games, I mean, I wouldn't have played those unless I really was interested in the game (I'm so much of a nerd I research on the games first).

I'll try and finish FFX-2 this summer. But for now, I'm going to play some Harvest Moon and Revenant Wings...

learning the guitar :3 and other crap.

it hurts my wrist a lot because the guitar's a bit too big for me xD well, I think it's big :P but its actually pretty fun to learn, now I just have to practice songs, since I have all the chords (except F) down. xD F-chord is annoying, maybe that's why they call it F-chord :D

Anyway, got new bedsheets, a ribbon (cut into 2 for my hair), and Russia and I changed our whole web comic, as in drastically. I have to come up with 13 character designs, and Russia's so understanding that I cannot draw guy guys xD only....Yoshiya Kiryu types. :x
