Happy Birthday Mom!

So on a day like today what do I do with my time? Bake, a lot. Let me tell you, I feel like I was in the kitchen all freakin' day. It's insane. Course, it wasn't really all day, but it felt like it. I was whipped man! I had a good reason for spending all day in the kitchen though. It was me madre's birthday and I was baking her a cake. Heehee, aren't I a good 'un? It makes up for all the not-so-good things I do. Okay, not really, but sometimes it's nice to delude oneself.

I also baked some cookies. Gingersnaps and these weird snowball Christmas things. I didn't dare touch the weird-snowball-Christmas things, they had white chocolate in them (and that stuff is the bane of my existence. Okay, not really, but still). The gingersnaps where as yummy as ever though! My bestest homie ever came over as well to make some cookies for a cookie exchange tomorrow, and we had a blast goofin' off, but we always have a blast so that's not newsworthy. xP

Blowin' out the candles.

My padre said it was an abstract 38...I was cornfused, but it's all good.
They told me a cake should look like this. I disagreed.
xP
Cheesin'!
I'm tellin' you, once you eat one of my gingersnaps you'll never look at a storebought one the same.
I know it looks like a ball of wax, but it was delicious....and homemade icing always turns out funky!

Twilight

So normally I wouldn't make a post like this, but for anyone who's asked me about the Twilight series I just had to, because as you know (if you've asked me) I refuse to read those books. Everything I've heard has turned me off. Bella's a pansy, Edwards waaaayyyy to over protective, and...well, actually that's basically it. But since they're the main characters, I mean, it's told from Bella's point of view, I figured "Why torture myself?" And while I don't think I'm going to attack my sisters in the morning and be like "OhmyGod.OhmyGod.OhmyGod. I HAVE to read Twilight!", I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It was fantabulous.

Everything just seemed to click. From the die hard Twilight fans that can only see the movie through the books eyes I know it's just absolutely appalling how they fucked up the movie, but from a movie stand point it's great. Definitely worth the two hours it takes to watch. I mean, yes it gets a little corny at points, and sometimes I could puke there's so much lovin' goin' on (we do have to remember that, hey, I ain't the romantic type), and even the movie I want to ring Bella's neck a couple of times (she's such a freakin' pansy. Ugh.) but as a whole it gets two thumbs up. Edward got a little bit of slack from me because Robert Pattinson is really freakin' hot. I think I was drooling when I wasn't chewing on my headphones. Haha. Though he was a little protective-possessive. I guess even vampires can't be perfect. Too bad.

So that's about it. I had to post about that, because I know I found it amusing I like the movie so much when I so vehemently oppose the books, and maybe you did too....though I'm not surprised if you didn't.

Ughs and A Ring

So today was a very good day. We saw my Aunt for the first time in a while...the last time I recall seeing her was July of '07, but my memory might be faulty. We also got to meet her friend, who was a very nice, if somewhat strange fellow. Course, who am I to talk? We also got to eat at a really fancy resturant, and new undertaking for me. It was amazinering. And then we got to go to the Spy Museum, which most of us had never been to before. That place was awesome, though I would love to go back on a less crowded day. My far away friends should come to DC and that can be my excuse for spending forever there. xP Not that I need one....Anyhoo, one of the best parts of the day. I got my Ughs! Yes, Ughs, not Uggs.
See, my Aunt just spent two weeks in Australia and brought back genuine Australian Ughs, not Uggs (which are made in China), for me, Abi, and my Mom. The design is exactly the same as the Uggs everyone sees around, but ours are from Down Under. And then! Total bonus, my hand randomly handed me her ring that I had been admiring, which was from Fiji! She spent a day or two there before continuing on to Australia.

Ughs. They're adorable, chocolately, and oh so very comfortable.

This is the oh so snazzy ring. It's made from coconut! Ain't it purdy?

So yeah, today was a good day. I had a lot of fun running around DC with my family (minus the brother, social recluse that he is). Sadly, I didn't actually take any pictures. It's just not something I think about until after the fact. But I don't feel so bad, my Mom even forgot this time. xP My Aunt took some pictures on her camera and is going to send us a CD of pictures, so if I feel like it I can post some of those pictures. Or maybe I won't. Who knows with me?
And now, I'm off to play Kung-Fu.

What!?

Man!! I am so freakin' bummed! The Aliens never showed. I had been so excited, I was looking forward to some benevolant guidance. But I guess there was a HUGE traffic jam in hyperspace. And I'm talking HUGE!!! Hopefully they'll show up in a couple of days...I'm starting to doubt it though. I guess I'll just have to wait for the Asgard to show up and take me away....of the Goa'uld to come and attack. Lord knows when that could be.

The Aliens Are Coming!?

So I was clicking around the boards on FP (an online game I play) and was delighted by this post someone had made. Apparently, the aliens are coming tomorrow!? I'm pretty freakin' excited. So all ya'll need to keep an eye out for their humungo ship. Kay? Kay. And take a picture and text it to me, cause with my luck I'll probably miss it.



And for some more alien excitement go to this blog. You know you want to.

Ya Know Those Great Text Conversations

That you just don't want to get rid of, but don't have the space to keep 'em on your phone and don't have a memory card to put them on? Well I have one of those and I have to immortilize it on this fair blog of mine. So, it probably won't make any sense to you, but this post is for more, not you. :D

So a buddy of mine, we'll call her Coolio 9000, were having a perfectly normal conversation about indoor soccer when I found out that -GASP!- she won't be playing on the same team as me this year, but against me. So what did that turn into?

Me: I'll see you on the field then. Be prepared to get scored on!
Coolio 9000: Hah! In your dreams
Me: In yours! I will so score on you. Pwnage will be mine!
Coolio 9000: Oh yeah?! Puh-leeze. Get ready to be owned!
Me: No way! I will cram that ball down your throat!
Coolio 9000: I'm gonna shove it where the sun don't shine!
Me: Hahah. Only in anger because I will have owned you!
Coolio 9000: Naw! It'll be in triumph after I deny your ass.
Me: You can deny my ass as long as you don't deny my goals! xP
Coolio 9000: Psht, you're gonna get denied!
Me: Never! My ball will slide right past your outstretched hands and it'll be beautiful! You will be owned.
Coolio 9000: My outstretched hand is gonna block the ball and trip you up. Then my drop kick is going to float past the keep for the best damn goal ever!
Me: No, because the only way you'll block it is if it's someone else, and in that case I'll be in goal and make the best damn save ever!
Coolio 9000: Oh lawd you keep dreaming.
Me: I will! And when we play you that dream will become a reality!
Coolio 9000: Yeah right you just wait!
Me: I wait with baited breath because I need some good owning!
Coolio 9000: I look forward to the owning of you.
Me: Ch'ya right. I am owned by nobody!
Coolio 9000: Soon to be me.
Me: Never! I am as free as the eagles! I may be tagged, but I will never be owned.
Coolio 9000: I'll cage you like a panda.
Me: Hahah. I'll use my kung fu on you.
Coolio 9000: I'll be a hidden dragon and ambush you.
Me: My crouching tiger will claw your firey ass to shreds!
Coolio 9000: My house of flying daggers will protect me and demolish you.
Me: My personal force field will protect me and rebound your flying daggers back at you and cut you up.
Coolio 9000: The force is gonna send them right back.
Me: I'll have Scotty beam me up and out of harm.
Coolio 9000: I'll have the tribbles occupy Scotty.
Me: I'll have Q come and take me away.
Coolio 9000: I'll get Kligon Q to bring you back.
Me: I'll have him distracted by the tribbles.
Coolio 9000: I've 6 more where that came from.
Me: 6 makes no difference against the power of Darth Vadar!

So yeah, that's pretty much how our fantabulous conversation ended. We proceeded to discuss Star Wars in more detail, but none of it was as epic as the originial conversation. I just love how start at soccer, and end up at Star Wars while traversing through pandas, eagles, Star Trek, and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Definitely epic. This is the same chick I had an epic conversation about Hobo's with, but those texts are long deleted, and I'm not a genius who can go into cyber space and find them -sigh-. Most definitely was that an epic conversation. Dude, I love my Life.

See? Not Crazy,

A couple of weeks after I got back from my LIFE is Good adventure my sister was watching Michael, ya know, that John Travolta movie where he's an angel? Yep, that one. Well I heard my Mom cracking up, and then I heard my name being called. So I went downstairs and was told "Olivia! Your kegel move isn't an original!" and proceeded to watch as Travolta danced it out with all the ladies in the bar, and about a minute into their dancing he was doin' my kegel move. Cracked me up. Then I was going to tell Diana that I really wasn't crazy, but that would be ridiculous (because I am), and I had no idea how to explain it anyway, so I just didn't and forgot about it. And now, these several months later, I had an epiphany in the shower (isn't that were all your best ideas happen? That, or the crapper.) and I went on youtube, figuring, hoping, they would have the video. And vwala! There it was. So now you know I'm not crazy and I was just copying an uber cool dude. :D
