Ears

I have a thing for ears.

G has perfect symmetrical round ears with just enough ear lobe pudge... and with little light moles on them too. They are so cute! haha I can't help it, his ears are one of my favorite features although, he hates it when I say that. So I have to remind him, ahem, key word: one of my favorites.

I don't know why I feel this way, but I didn't know it until G and I got together and I'm obsessed with his ears. Sometimes when we're cuddling, he catches me staring at them. It's a little freaky... for him.

It's probably weird of me, but at least I don't have a foot fetish. Besides, ears are always naked and easier to check out anyway.

What body part do you have a thing for? (besides the nasties, people.. please haha)

My First Cake.

A couple of weeks ago, or a few days ago, haha I don't remember how long ago... but however long ago, I made my first cake.

Ever.

I've never baked anything on my own before! I'm 20 years old, and I don't even cook for myself let alone bake.

After watching Ace of Cakes for the first time last year, I was amazed at the artwork people could make with food. That was the first time I ever saw creative cakes like that. Growing up, no one I knew had awesome cakes shaped like castles or helicopters, etc. I thought it was really creative and enjoyed watching that show, but never did I imagine ever making cakes like that myself.

Then, a few months later, I saw Joanna_said_SO start posting cakes on her blog. I got so excited because this was the first time I ever saw someone make a cake like that besides the people on the show Ace of Cakes lol. She had just begun making fondant cakes yet you could tell, this girl has got mad skillz. She is so friggin' talented! I definitely see her opening her own bakery one day.

Seeing her creativity come to life inspired me to give a go at baking. It's all brand new to me since I've never made food from scratch unless it's a sandwich or whatever simple one-two step meal, so it'll be a very educational experience. I'll get to finally venture into my kitchen for something more productive than just leeching off of my mother's delicious cooking all of the time. Perhaps I'll be fetching a bowl of her awesome Thai soup and have a plate of my cake and eat it too.

I actually videotaped the process, for sentimental reasons, since it's the first cake I ever made on my own. But, unfortunately, the recording is too long and I'm too lazy to sit here and watch it all the way through to edit it. I sat for a little bit watching it, and I'd already made a big mess in like 2 minutes. It was so embarrassing I couldn't bear to watch any more, hahaha...

Anywho, here is the end result of my night of baking fiasco:

Here's a close up on her eyeballs, and up her nose. (m&ms & runt)

... I totally just hacked that with a knife...

... my pinching skillz... heh I need to learn how to make a proper bow...

Et voila, here is Hello Kitty's head (from the 'myspace-better-if-it's-close-up' view).

I'd asked for some advice from Joanna, and she was super sweet and gave me some really good tips that I wish I'd known the first time around because I made a big mess in the kitchen with this lol. I can't wait to use those techniques on the next cake because this first one took me sooo long.... I did NOT know what the heck I was doing, so the whole process just felt like forever. Hopefully the next one will go by smoothly. Even though I was frustrated with myself, I really enjoyed this. I had lots of fun.

Thanks again for your inspiration, Jo!

Our Names Defined by Urbandictionary
Coolmonkey just posted what his name meant from urbandictionary.com because this has been going around on Facebook, and I thought it'd be fun to post what mine and my love's names' definitions brought up too.

You're supposed to post the first 3 definitions that popped up:

LISA:
1. One of the most popular names for a newborn girl in 1970.
  Most Lisas are hot.
  
  "There were 3 hot girls named Lisa in my grade 7 gym class. I didn't know where to look."
2. The name of a girl who is very pretty and is so lovable that boys fall in love with her instantly.
  
  Chick: OMG! DID YOU SEE LISA YESTERDAY?!
  Dude: Yeah, I'm like...in love with that chica.
3. An intelligent and sexy female with LUSCIOUS physical features. Usually attracts weird guys named David who do absolutely NOTHING for her, but she still remains independent.
  
  That Luscious Lisa...
Mine sure helped boost my ego a bit. hehe

GORBY:
1. A skier tool with no clue about whats up either in your way on the hill or talking shit at the afterski bar. Usually shows up at your local ski resort on the weekend, headbands and gay sunglases are common atire for these straight up losers. "Is that David Hasselhof in a fag bag, what a fucking gorby"
2. One of the inbred natives of Shaw, near Oldham, UK. Features include varying numbers of fingers, toes, limbs and eyes. A 'Gorby Virgin' defined as someone faster than their uncle.
  
  Royton Man #1, "I once went out with a girl from Shaw. She took me back to her house and said, 'This is me mam and sister'. There was only one person stood there."
  Royton Man #2, "Fucking Gorbies."
3. A person who sucks at snowboarding. An acronym for Guy On Rental Board.
  
  "Dude, these goddamn gorbys are always in my way!"
I thought Gorby's name was friggin' hilarious hahahahaha... well, at least we learned this before he ever went to a ski resort. Now, at least we can introduce him as his actual name, Gorbachev, instead and avoid all the gorby jokes.

hehehe, I love my Gorby.

I can't wait to take him snowboarding with me someday, whenever I'd call out his name, I'll get to snicker to myself... knowing what gorby means and everything... hahaha

Battle of the Sexes: Toilet Seat

We've got only one bathroom downstairs that everyone in my family uses on the daily because during the day everyone's running around downstairs doing their work. There are 2 women and 3 men (well 2 and a half, if you count a teen as half of a man) living in this house.

Every single time I run to the bathroom for a #1 emergency, the toilet seat is always up.

Each time I encounter this barbaric scene, my suppressed anger increases and I begin fuming as I stick my foot up to pull the seat down.

It's when I finish my bizniz that I realize that whomever male who happens to use the toilet next will have to pull the seat back up. A smirk forms on my face as I enjoy the thought of the one who'll fume as he pulls the seat up every single time he uses the restroom as I do.

muahahaha!

Friggin Creepazoid.

I just saw the post that mancouch posted with a video of Peewee Herman and an iPad. You can find the video here.

That man has always creeped me out. He's like a combination of a doll and a clown. A double whammy. *shivers*

I've always hated dolls since I was a child. Particularly the ones with rolling eyeballs. Perhaps it is because I sneaked into the living room late at night as a child to get a peek at the horror movies my parents were watching, some of which happened to be Chuckie... the evil, possessed red-headed doll, and it traumatized me to the point of where I still remember it as a young adult. Or maybe because dolls with rolling eyeballs are just creepy, period, because they look too human-like and may very well be possessed by evil spirits and attack me while I'm sleeping and then chop me up into pieces.

Gah, Chuckie also totally ruined my favorite cartoon show as a child, which was Rugrats. There's a baby in there whose name is Chuckie and is red-headed with freckles and glasses. Take off the glasses and he's spittin' image of the scary evil Chuckie doll.

As far as clowns go, they never really scared me. Only the ones in horror movies were scary, but not the real ones in circuses and birthday parties. What is scary is a man with make up on and a high squeeky voice, which would resemble a clown if you read this description, but also put in the fact that his make up is doll-like with the rosy pink cheeks and red lipstick... and the fact that he walks around in a grey suit 24/7 and his jokes are lame... and his puppet house is friggin' scary as heo too. This is allllll Peewee Herman.

I could post a picture of him here on my blog to show what he looks like, but I won't. You can just google-image that shiet. His face is going no where near my stuff.

That Creep.
