It just so happens that Vince's mom has her birthday on Christmas Eve and she's actually allergic to wheat/gluten so we wanted to try to bake her a cake without any of those things. Just so you know where we're coming from here, I've never baked with anything except wheat & rice flour, and Vince had never really baked anything at all.... so...

I deleted my last post I wrote, because I thought it was stupid. And I didn't want to sound like someone who felt sorry for themselves. I didn't want to put something on my blog that I couldn't even really say to the people closest to me. The blog post was stupid anyways because I tried to make it sound like some weird...

Even the Spiders are decorating Well, I left as soon as I could after finals. I have two homes now, one with Vince and one with my family. Let's hope he doesn't mind me saying that but it's become a reality. School this semester has been really different. I didn't realize just how bad it's been until I left. The day I left,...

The British use a rather appropriate phrase to describe days like today... (see title) It's been so miserable back here at the university. Cold and wet is never a nice thing when it comes to the weather, unless of course you're in California during a period of severe drought. Anyhow, I realize I've missed a couple days of blogging. I am a bit...

Perhaps what makes me such an awful gift giver is that I sometimes can't separate my opinions from others. For instance, I love plants. I don't know why, but I find them pretty adorable, like a pet. To me they're somewhere between a goldfish and a hamster. Choose the right ones and you can have like the chillest, most sturdy pet ever, and...

Well, guess who had dinner duty this year? Yep, me. It's okay though, with the amount of cooking shows that I watch, it'd sure be a waste of time if I didn't actually enjoy cooking. My mom actually offered to help but... -secret agent voice- I work alone. To be fair, roast dinners don't actually entail much cooking. Most of your time is...

There's always that one person you know who always gives the best gifts. No matter the occasion you always know that whatever they give you will either be something you've always wanted or something you didn't even know you wanted... but sure as hell do now! I will be the first to say that I am not that person. But that doesn't mean I...

A few years ago a dear friend of mine had to go away. I have seen him once since then but... it's not always so simple. You know that things are different now and you're both going to have to go on living your lives separately now. No matter how much we deny it, sometimes friendship just isn't feasible. But that doesn't mean...

My dear reader,  On account of the Thanksgiving/Holiday festivities, I have made a rash and rather ambitious decision to post a blog post everyday for the week of, and after, Thanksgiving (excluding Sundays because, sabbath... and I already missed one). Thanksgiving has become a rather important holiday for me. And it seems to be the holiday that people are least angry... at least...

These past few months have been... grey, for lack of a better descriptor. You may or may not have noticed that i haven't written anything for quite some time. I haven't really been able to do a lot of the things I really want to do like working out on my own time, or making embarrassing videos, or, perhaps most of all, posting...

I post this before I proceed to write a 4000 essay on this very subject... I enjoyed the trip. I may not enjoy the essay as much.  This post will be sort of a National Geographic picture and caption post. Things that I picked out and wanted to remember and take note of. But enjoy the pretty Autumn scenes. :]  Galbraith Gap Trail...
