Ready

Wow! I cooked something two nights in a row!!! I'm extravagantly proud. While the first attempt to produce something edible last night was successful but didn't taste very good, today's result was far closer to what I wanted it to be. Yesterday, Jessica came over to work on chemistry. We didn't exactly do as many chemistry problems as we had hoped to because we decided to cook some pasta. I called my mom to obtain instructions to make the sauce. Mind you, it would have turned out great if we'd used the right kind of Pomi. We used the type that has bits of whole tomato still in it as opposed to the utterly liquefied type. Nonetheless, the pasta was edible. Too bad that the sauce wasn't very rich.


Today I craved rice like crazy. I didn't want my grandmother's normal recipe although it is good; I wanted "rice in white" with lemon in it. So, I made it, and I'm satisfied with the results. I should have added one more lime to it for it to be perfect for me, but I think that, for a first time, I did well. My grandmother initially wanted to help me, but when she began criticizing my every move, I became highly irritated and kindly told her I could do it myself. I know that was still slightly mean, but it was my rice, you know?

I find that I have developed a habit for eating rice with chopsticks. It just doesn't seem logical to me to use anything but chopsticks to consume rice with anymore.


Anyhow, I am ready for college now.

1. I can do my own laundry.
2. I can cook rice, pasta, eggs, grits, French toast, and microwaveable foods.
3. I am a fond PS2er.
4. I can iron clothes effectively.
5. I can fix some electrical circuits.


I am capable of other things, too, but that seems like a pretty good essentials list to me. Don't you agree?


Well, on that note, I need to go clean up and, if I ever finish winnowing the general disaster in the northeasternmost direction of the house (my room and bathroom) into place, do homework.

Sajonara!


Oh, song! Almost forgot. Er, well, I'm listening to it now and I really like it, so


"It's My Life"
by No Doubt



It's funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends (It never ends...)

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose

Oh, I'd tell myself
What good do you do
Convince myself

Oh, It's my life
Don't you forget
Oh, It's my life
It never ends (It never ends...)

And I've asked myself
How much do you
Commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends (its my life)

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends (It never ends)

Oh, It's my life... (oh its my life)
Don't you forget... (don't you forget)
Caught in the crowd... (caught in the crowd)
It never ends (it never ends...)
