I've decided to brew up some mead.  For those of you unfamiliar with what in the name of pants I'm going on about, please, do let me clarify.  Mead is an alcohalic beverage made from honey.  (I can see Niki's eyes widening already.  XD)  I also added apple slices and small amounts of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom.  It will be ready in exactly two months - on October thirty-first.   Since this is my first go at it, I'm just doing a gallon.

Also, some time this coming month I'm going to make some cider, so that it will be mellowed nicely in time for my twenty-first birthday.  Though it'll probably just save a little for that night, because apparently I'm going barhopping.  XD  It should still taste nice after just a few months of aging, so it'll be nice to have for late fall and early winter.

I'm making an awesome silver chain for the pendant I made last night.

And my sister moved out and is in an apartment with two guys and a girl.

Bryan and I plan to visit in October or November.

I'm spending the night at my mom's Thursday and we're watching Twilight. 

Leo's such a good snugglecat.

So, last night Niki and I stayed up past 4am making red velvet puffs and filming a short... film about being locked in the bathroom.  It was great.  We loved it.  It'll take us three years to edit this thing.  AND we're using a shitty program.  Hooray! 

Today we're making a pie for the raw vegan potluck we're going to tomorrow (one of my crazy coworkers invited me).  It's gonna have a nut/raisin crust, and a banana, apple, pear, orange, lemon, ginger, almond butter, and coconut butter filling.  Blenders ftw.  Maybe I'll put the spinach in.  I'm not sure.  Anyway, it's gonna be delicious and I can't wait to try it.  ^-^

I also found that I love green tea with toasted brown rice.  But no one else does.  Except the crazies at work who sampled it and lufft it like me.  XD

I got my shower filter and found out I can't get my old showerhead off because it's like... grouted on there.  BUT.  I BROUGHT IT TO NIKI'S AND USED IT HERE.  I are soh sawft and helthee.  Bjelis.  :3

ALSO.  Coolest thing ever:

My birthday this year is awesome.  Here are my reasons:

• I turn twenty.
• It falls on Australia Day (every year).
• It falls on a new moon.
• It falls on the Chinese New Year.

I luvit.  Pliss share in mah jooooi.  ^-^

Shit, son.  It's been like a month.  PLISS.  LET MEH ECKSPLAYN.  So, my gramma moved in and seems to have brought the Great Wall of China with her.  Sadly, she sat it right in front of my computer, so I can only journal when I'm at Niki's and she's in the shower.  XD  Anyway, to update the world, Halloween was totally amazing, I'm definitely going to find out what the health food store has to offer (jobwise) and switch if it's good.  The deli life is simply not my cup of meat.  But that's old news.  For people who I've already told, at least.  XD  Cameron's decided he wants to be famous, so he's not holding in his talents so much anymore and is becoming much more brave about expressing it.  It inspires me to do the same.  The snow is here.  Thanksgiving's going to be broken up because my mom's antisocial and my gramma's boxes have taken over the world.  I had a weird dream Thursday night that I was sad and giving Squirrelaroo a hug.  Friday I found out he was fired, so I decided I'm a totally awesome psychic.

Me and Niknik are having our usual blasty.  We roasted a fresh young chicken last night with fresh rosemary, little red potatoes, and golden delicous apple.  IT WAS SOOO GOOD!  Then we had gelato.  ^-^   Anne and I are going to BT(white boy from the kitchen)'s rap concert next Friday night.  It should be fun.  XD

Happy Thanksgiving!

11:12pm

So, today Cameron and I went to the store I applied to the other night, for a peek and some groceries.  Weeeell, while we were there, a guy from high school spotted us.  He was in my tenth grade health class, and me and Amy would talk to him sometimes.  Anyways, he said that we caught him on his day off, and that he worked there.  So, I laughed and was like,"I just applied here!"  THEN he said that he'd put in a good word for me with his dad who's like the manager or something.  YAY!  Hopefully he still knows my name.  LOL!  So yeah, with school starting, some of the people there will probably quit (or at least cut back their hours) and they'll need to hire (ME!).  XD  I'm going to wait a week or so, and if I don't hear from them by then, I'll put in all my other applications.  That way I'll still have plenty of time for muh dream jarb to contact me before I hear back from anyone else.

THEY MAKE THEIR OWN FRESH GROUND PEANUT BUTTER.  AND I BOUGHT SOME.  *DIES OF JOY*  IT'S SO GOOD!!!  Nothing is added.  It's just roasted peanuts.  I EATS IT ON A APPLE YES I DOES!!!!  But it's not as sweet as I'm used to, so I'll add honey to my sammiches.  Delicious.

1am

That's right, kiddies, I've just woken up.  I went to bed at 8pm (after having woken yesterday at 3pm from a TERRIBLE night's/half-day's sleep).  And I had some left over green smoothie.  I actually like it better after it's been in the fridge.  It's a bit thicker (probably because of the coconut oil, which becomes solid around 75F) and it tastes like blueberry applesauce.  Because it basically is.  LOL  I will have so much fun making baby food for my kiddies someday.  Why do I keep saying kiddies?

So, yesterday, when I got up it was because my mom was coming home and wanted to take me to the farmers' market!  I was so excited!  I think the reason she's buying vegetables is because I told her I was gonna start buying them for myself.  The real question is... is she trying to save me money, or trying to maintain her role as food dictator?  The world may never knoooow.

So, then we came home, I had an apple and brushed my teef, and we were off to the dentist!  I love my dentist.  She is SO nice.  I wanna be best friends with her.  LOL  Really, though, she's just so friendly.  The dentist I had as a child was TERRIFYING and seemed to hate children.  When I had to have teeth extracted, she wouldn't let me close my eyes when I got scared.  She'd say closing my eyes would make me more scared, and yelled at me to keep them open!  So I had to watch the novocaine needle inching toward my gums.  I swear the syringe played the Jaws music.

Compare that to my current dentist, who takes notes on what you talk about, and offers tips on fun places to work.  Her favorite place to work when she was in college was Krispy Kreme, because everyone who came in was so happy. XD!!!  Also, every time I come in, she compliments my teeth.  Today she said,"I love cleaning your teeth.  They're so pretty.  They have a nice color."  I just sat there with my mouth open.  Because she had her hook in there.  The tiny one for scraping, that is.  She's no pirate.  

But yeah, it's actually a family business.  Her dad owns the place.  I guess he does my mom's teeth sometimes, but I've never had him.  She's young, like late twenties to early thirties.  And really cutesy.  I think it's mostly because of her tiny little voice.  LOL  Maybe that's why I like her so much, because it reminds me of my friend Lindsay (Michelle's sister) who, oddly enough, is studying to be a dentist.  XD  I miss Lindsay.  And Mesa.  And Michelle.  I wonder if Michelle is still in China.  She went there this summer with a foreign exchange student she's friends with.

Anyway, then we went to Burger King.  ^-^

3:24am

I've got goodies from Cameron's Connecticut trip.  Including Swedish cookies.  That were made in Canada.  XD

And some activities I'm sure he'd prefer I not mention.   

Now...!

>;D 

All our lives we chase the night like it's never-ending, you the sun and I the moon.

I'm so glad he's back.  He really is my soulmate.  He actually said to me today,"I feel like I've loved you for thousands of years."  It moved me to tears.  I'm not afraid of losing him anymore because I now realize that there is nothing stronger than what holds us together.  I feel safe now, knowing that if I ever lose him, we'll soon find each other again.  Whether in this life, or what lies after.  Just as we have before.

But I'm sure you're not interested in my mush.  XD

I have an appointment with my dentist tomorrow at five.  Before then, I'm probably going to be putting away lots of laundry, and making my ripped-knee pants really cute.  And making another green smoothie.

Me and Niki made our very first green smoothie two days ago!  ^-^  And it was DELICIOUS!  We're amazing.  And Chris is insane for not liking berries.  But he likes other fruit, so I won't get angry.  XD

The one I made today had:

• 1 apple
• 1 nectarine
• 1 handful of blueberries
• 1 tbs coconut oil
• 1 metric shit-ton greens

It wasn't as sweet as I was hoping, but that's because I saved half of my blueberries for today, so it's easily fixable.  And my blender can get rid of all the colorful bits.  But since it's old, it gets hot easily and makes my smoothie kind of warm, which I dislike.  But, overall, it was good.  Definitely like the coconut oil in there.  But I wouldn't add more than a tablespoon because it overpowers the other fruit flavors a bit.  I missed the banana.  But it still had a nice, creamy texture without it.  I was concerned about that.

I'm also going to apply at Giant Beagle, since I go there so much.  And maybe that one Azn Fewd place by the nail place where the azns work.  XD  A place within walking distance to Niki's would be neat 'cause I wouldn't have to avoid scheduling peep hangs on days I have to work.  Plus I could probably get me and Niki discounts on organic numnums and pokeymanz.  I'm getting Niki a booster pack when I get my first paycheck.  She's bought me way too much stuff.  All those candy bars.  XD

I also had a surprisingly long conversation with Nick (Niki's boyfriend) after she fell asleep.  It was funny, because I've never really talked to him before, but we discussed at length the two taboo conversation topics... religion and politics, and really nothing else.  Besides a bit about smoking, careers, and his mom, and Uncle Joe.  Niki fell asleep around 6am, and we didn't finish talking until after 8am.  About religion and politics.  LMFAO  It's funny how the most controversial things are anything but when open-minded people discuss them, even if they've never talked before.  He taught me about how the new world order is gonna kick our asses, and I taught him about how cool and not evil paganism is.  XD  CPS FTW! 

Also.  Niki, are you working Saturday?  During the party?  Pliss let me know.
