What's in a Journal?

So I went to church in the morning. That was not terrible. Then went to dance camp. That was alright. Came home and played some video games. I watched the Roast of Joan Rivers. I ate some food and will probably be going to bed soon.

So I didn't even leave my room until I needed to eat. Pretty lazy and plenty of internet. I did shower, so that was good, though. I made some chicken with pasta and then went to N.E.B. to dance some. That was definitely hip, especially this one girl I kept dancing with. Something like 3 separate West Coast Swings, not to mention a variety of other dances. Always good. Came home and played some vidya, just because I could. Then bought groceries. I got a bunch of stuff, but most especially more peppers and some chili sauce. I've decided to try and increase the amount of heat in the spiciness of my food, hopefully that'll help with my allergies and congestion. Anyway, I'm going to eat the eggs I hard-boiled and then go to sleep. I've got church tomorrow morning, so maybe 5 hours worth of sleep.

Woke up a little before noon. Then again in ten minutes. And then in ten minutes. And you get the idea. Point-in-fact, however, I made it to the CFA a little after 1. I picked up a quick snack from 7-11, thinking I'd have to feed myself quickly before getting together with Krystal. However, she was running late, so I had a chance to sit around some. We looked at some music and may start working together more. After about an hour of that I came home and played some vidya and watched some Avatar, as well as South Park, with Chris. Chris also fed me some of the food he had made whilst I was away, and it was very tasty. Eventually, I put a load of dishes in the dishwasher and wrapped Lyn's present and went to her party. That was a lot of fun because it involved a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. Also, I got fed again. Always sweet. I think Lyn liked her present, too. She opened it just after the party had ended and we were leaving, but apparently thought it worth it to come back to her door and shout out her appreciation, which made me happy. Came home and chilled for a while. Watched some Rurouni Kenshin with Chris and an episode of Good Eats. Now I'm blogging and then going to bed. Sleep will be good.

So I spent most of today with a friend. We watched a comedy DVD, ate food, and also talked plenty late at night. Dance tonight was at a new location entitled "The Sanctuary". Pretty hip place, actually. Then as I mentioned, talked plenty with a friend. I came home and texted the Kara for a while. I also tried making chicken with a new combination of spices. By that I mean, I took a spice mix that Lyn had mixed a long time ago and left and put that in with the flour. Then I was worried it was too diluted, so I added more paprika, allspice, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic salt and maybe something else too. I can't remember. It smelt really good, but after cooking, the taste did not quite come through. I will definitely make it a point to play with spices more often. And it will always go well with rice, so that's nice. Protein and grain make for a tasty and filling meal. I'll have to start getting some vegetables in there too. Probably start cooking them with the chicken. Celery, carrots, both good. Maybe some onion too. Possibly peppers too, red and or green. I'll have to consider some more veggie action at some point. I'm slowly getting better at having decent nutrition. Anyway, sleep now. I'm meeting Krystal at the CFA tomorrow at 1. And hopefully Chris is making me lunch so long as I can ambush him before he puts the cheese in his penne.

I slept in for seemingly forever. Eventually making my appearance known in the living room. I watched some baseball for a bit. Also ate food. Then picked up Nicole and went to church choir rehearsal. That went pretty quick. Then came back home and just browsed the internet and texted a friend for a while. Watched some episodes of Avatar with Chris and made both of us food. Just chicken fried in olive oil and margarine. Then garlic, onions and red pepper flakes on top of pasta. Rather tasty. I didn't have quite enough olive oil and too high of heat so it started to smoke some. I added the margarine and saved it from burning and also added enough fat that I could actually cook the chicken in at a decent smoke point. So thank goodness for Good Eats so I could actually save it and know how and why to do that. Yay for having knowledge!

I've done that one before, sorry about that. Title, I mean. At any rate, I slept in till about noon. Woke up slowly then realized what was what and quickly showered and ate a bit of food before going to Starlite for a lesson with Jeffrey. Not bad, went to Barnes and Noble and bought some DVDs as a gift for a friend. Also did some more shopping and got a gift for Lyn. I think she'll be quite happy with it, but we'll find out exactly whether she likes it at her party. Anyway, came home and ate some food and watched some Rurouni Kenshin with Chris. Also wrapped the aforementioned DVDs. Some shit went down, both away from here and just across the way. A couple people know what I'm talkng about, but I figure I shouldn't blog about as such. Went to N.E.B. and took Jeffrey's technique class. Stuck around after that and worked on a routine for certification and all that action. Pretty hip indeed. Talked some with a friend after that, I take what time with her I can, she's pretty busy. Gave the present I'd wrapped earlier and it was well-received. Came home and played some Smash Bros. with Chris. Also made food. I tried something a little different. Not terrible, but still needs refining. I attempted to cook the chicken just with some oil on it and slight seasoning instead of breading it with flour first. Less oil, so it's probably a little healthier, and certainly different texture. I also cooked some corn and rice. The rice had a different ratio of water to rice than I'd been using and I also salted the water and had significantly different results with the problems of it bubbling over in the past. Chris and I watched two episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender, heretoafter referred to as Avatar. Not a bad show, considering it's a kids' show. I also watched the three episodes of Imaginationland from South Park and now I've blogged. Going to sleep now, and we'll see what happenes tomorrow, eh?

Slept a lot. Eventually went to dinner with Dave, Phil (Dave's brother) and Lynface at Texas Roadhouse. Came back and hung out with aforementioned peeps. Dave and Phil left and chilled some with Lyn. Then she left and I played video games for a while. Now I'll be going to sleep, and hopefully the purchases I made on Amazon will get here before too long.

Woke up, went to church. Played terribly. Dropped Nicole off and got some fast food. Ate that while bathing, slept through an appointment witha friend and then attempted to destroy friendship with aforementioned friend through texting.

And by that I mean that I'm rather not feeling well. I'm going to try to get some sleep now, as I've got at the very least, church tomorrow. I'm supposed to do work at Jeffrey's with Deidre, too, but we'll see if I'm up to it or not.

So it's a shortened version of the day. Chris and I went to Mike's and watched some movies. Then we came home, haivng discovered a package for him. Watched some Moral Orel and ate. He went to sleep and I watched some Good Eats and South Park.

I'm admittedly less than sober, but still able to pass muster by Chris? I'll take whatever I can get by this point. Today I woke up later and then ate food and showered. I went to my lesson, which was meh. Then practiced with Deidre, which could've been better, I was rather lacking during this particular rehearsal. Then I ate food at a 7-11 and then went to N.E.B. for technique class. That was not terrible. I came home straight away and Chris and I watched some random TV inbetween some random vidya with Kara over. She left, though so we watched an episode of Good Eats and whatever else was on TV. I watched soem South Park and Moral Orel whilst I consumer a bottle of Port. It's pretty much finished now, but I can still edit thanks to word processing. Sorry about that, I still seem sober, despite rather not being sober.

So I slept in for quite a period of time today. I think I actually left my bed for good at around 4:30 today. Makes for a short blog tonight. I watched the Monday Baseball Game between the Cards and the Dodgers. Cards won, thankfully. Then Chris made bread while I made a tomato sauce. It came out kinda soupy, so I need to do a better job reducing the liquid at the end and I need to spend some more time actually chopping the vegetables involved. Smaller pieces of carrot and tomato would help the consistency. Chris and I went to the JTSU lawn to do some Amtgard with Carl and Kara came to watch. Eventually Carl left and the three remaining just chatted for a while. We also played some in the sprinklers on the lawn after they started up. Came back home and ate fresh bread. Mmmm. Also watched Moral Orel and Rurouni Kenshin. Then I watched an episode of Good Eats after Chris went to bed. I'll be going to try to fall asleep after posting this. G'night all!

So I just fell asleep last night and didn't blog. Sorry about that. Yesterday consisted of me getting woken up by Deidre because I slept through my alarm and all. Awesome start. She did me a favor by taking me to get my car. Chris' sister answered the door and apparently until she opened my door, I was the only one in the apartment not awake. Very stupid of me, but I guess I just suck. I got my car alright and drove to Jeffrey's. We had a tribe day and that was all somewhat hip. I came back to Reno and showered, then took Chris and his sister to Carson City, specifically the Brewery Arts Center. We watched Urinetown, that was quite hip. Especially seeing some of the people there that I hadn't in a while. Today, I woke up rather later and again got a ride from Deidre. This time to Jeffrey's for practice. We did work there for a while. Then we came back to Reno and got Chinese food. That was hip. Oh yeah, before fooding she showed me where she's living now. Jenna's a roommate, so this will likely be the only time I ever see her place, so yeah. Then after fooding she took me back and I chilled with the roomies. Played some Smashies. Then watched some random TV and after midnight Chris and I bought groceries. I got the supplies needed to make a homemade tomato sauce, the likes of which can be found here. Anyway, ate some food and watched Moral Orel with Chris. He went to bed and I watched an episode of Good Eats. Now I've just browsed the internet some. Now I'll be going to sleep until I wake up tomorrow. No plans tomorrow, so plenty of sleep with no alarm. Awesome.

So Chris' sister is in town for a few days and that's pretty hip. I woke up before noon so I could be awake and around for Ryan to come pick up the Charter modem and all that. He never came, though, so I'll have to get it to him some other time. Must've just been a misunderstanding about the time. Chris' sister came into town and eventually he and she took me to the body shop to pick up my car. Unfortunately I forgot my checkbook and Wells Fargo has put a limit on how much I can use my card for, so I could not pay for it, and thus could not pick it up today. Shitty. Deidre's doing me a huge favor tomorrow morning and taking me there so I'll have to figure out someway to pay her back, don't know how yet. At any rate, came back to the apartment and contacted Mike Barakat. He came over for a bit and the four of us went to Thai Lotus (?) for Thai food. I think that was the restaurant. Lemme know if it's wrong, Chris. Then we came back and hung out for a while. Played some Smashies, some Rockband, Nicole came over. We also watched some TV. Eventually played a bit more Smashies and now am going to bed. Gotta be awake and ready for a ride tomorrow morning at 7:30.

I woke up late. Watched some South Park and Good Eats while eating. Then showered. Got a ride with Deidre to class tonight. That was hip. The class(es?) went well, and I got a ride home from Ruth. She told me about some exciting plans for her tomorrow night. She'll be competing in the Bikini contest at the Sands pool party tomorrow night. If you're in Reno and without something to do, check it out, eh? At any rate, I chilled with Chris for a while at home and eventually we went to campus and did some more Amtgard for a couple of hours. Definitely a full-body sport, I'm plenty sore in plenty of places. Gotta keep doing it, though. It's good for getting into better shape to do something that physical. I played some Smashies after we returned and watched both some Good Eats and Moral Orel. Now I'm going to sleep. Hopefully I'll have my car back tomorrow. So long as nothing unexpected has come up.

I'm pretty sure I spelt that correctly. At any rate, we'll get to that later. Woke up kinda late-ish. No worries. Not doing too much right now. I played some Metroid for a while. Then after a long battle with a poorly designed boss I finished that for a while. Eventually took a shower. Then watched some stuff with the roomies. Always fun. Eventually, after eating, went to campus with Chris and did some Amtgard. Basically tag with foam swords. We don't really use the role-playing portion. Happened to see Carl and Kara there and chilled with them for a while. Then we came back around 1 AM after fighting for roughly 3-4 hours with breaks in between. Watched some Rurouni Kenshin and now I'll be going to sleep soon. Just gonna put away some clothes that've been sitting around and also am texting a friend and chatting with another. I also tried texting a few friends earlier today with sadly no response from either. I guess sometimes it's unfortunate when people don't have the time to even respond to a text. I don't really mind the notion of someone not wanting to hang out with me or anything, but I'd appreciate not just getting blown off.C'est la vie.

Today was not bad. I woke up, ate some bread with Lemon Curd on it and watched somw South Park. Then Deidre came and picked me up to give me a ride to Starlite for my lesson. Thanks to so late rescheduling we suddenly found ourselves with some practice time. Then I had my lesson. That went pretty well. Upon returning to the apartment Deidre tried the fudge and lemon curd and I think approved. Depending on what money I can find I'm going to try and keep cooking more and new stuff. My next project may be a cake with the lemon curd atop it, or perhaps a tomato sauce. I found a pretty hip recipe online. Anyway, plenty of chilling at home. Fooding and eventually watched some Moral Orel and Rurouni Kenshin. I played Metroid and Smashies with Chris. Then watched an episode of "There Will Be Brawl". I also watched two episodes of Good Eats. Alton Brown is my hero.

So I woke up and took my car into the shop this morning. Chris followed and then gave me a ride back to the apartment. I took a nap after that. Woke up again in the afternoon. Just kinda lazed around for a while. Eventually played some video games. Smashies today. Also watched some episodes of South Park and Moral Orel. Chris helped me make some Lemon Curd, Fudge, and Bread. I also made a Clover Club and a variation on a Pussycat.

So I again slept in, especially considering I stayed up until about 4. Vidya until 3 and then settling down and going to sleep. At any rate, I ate food and then made myself be productive. I cleaned out my car before taking it to the body shop tomorrow morning. I won't have it for about a week. If you're curious why, ask me in a less public medium. I just don't want to put it online for the public is all. So I also watched the Sunday Night baseball game on ESPN. Then cleaned my bathroom. Mostly. I didn't quite get to the floor. But the rest is good now. So that's pretty sweet. Chris and I went to Mike's and hung out for a while. We played a game of Munchkin and Pimp The Backhanding. Very enjoyable. Then we came back and I ate food. We watched a few episodes of Rurouni Kenshin and Moral Orel. Soon bed.

So I woke up late today. Always a good start. Didn't do too much. Hung out, ate food, watched some South Park on the tele. Eventually played some Rockband with the roomies. Thought I was gonna go see a show, but turned out not to be the case. I'll be going next week, seeing as how I can't read a calendar. Whoops, oh well. Chris and I bought some groceries. That was hip. Then Nicole came over to chill. Kara came and joined us too. We watched much Food Network. Eventually food while watching South Park again and then Chris and I played Smash Bros. for a while. Tomorrow I'm going to clean out my car before I go without it for at least a week.
