YESTERDAY WAS SYNTH'S BIRTHDAY.  8D
yay for synth
yay
it feels morally wrong to call him henry
>_>

So, today was the last day that I'd ever go into my old Elk Grove house before it was no longer my parents' property.  (or some reason like that.)  I didn't want to go at first, as I forced myself to emotionally detach myself from that house the day that I moved away, afraid that all I'd feel when I step into that house was bittersweet nostalgia.  And so when I went in with my parents, I did NOT expect my response.  I almost immediately went around the house looking for things that my parents and I could take everything that was rightfully ours.  We took the full-body mirror in the hall, multiple outlet covers, the paper towel holder in the kitchen, a jacket hook in the living room, a crystal that we forgot for the love of Feng Shui, and exchanged our low-quality roof lamp with the better one in the old house... most of this by my request.  >_>.  We left a lounging chair in the hallway, much to my disappointment.  My mom and I made fun of my old room, where there was less than a foot of walking space between my bed and my cabinet. 

I really did have one nostalgic moment where I stepped out into the backyard and went to the tree under which I buried Algernon last year.  Her grave used to be some dirt covered with a pile of rocks so it wouldn't get disturbed by rabbits and wind, but now it was completely covered in grass and it was hard to tell her grave apart from the rest of the meadow.  I thought that was really something.  Then I walked a little farther and all of the sudden a rabbit jumped out from behind a bush and ran like hell away from me.  o.o

I'm all over my UC applications, and now I just need to submit them!  AHH SO NERVOUS GAH.  EVEN THOUGH ELC MAKES ME GUARANTEED ADMISSION TO UC DAVIS AND UC IRVINE LOLOL I STILL NERVOUS GAH.

bunnies are hilarious

Oh, and I've totally gotten back into the baking scene now that I know how to use my oven.  This whole time, I was weary that it was broken like in my old house.  I've made two batches of brownies and one batch of cookies so far.  :O  I'm just WAITING for a pot luck at school so I can bring some homemade brownies.  I'm also trying to perfect either one of them so I can package them for Christmas goodies for my friends.  cos you know, das cool

I srsly wanna start getting into cupcakes so I can make sexy cupcakes like from Hello Cupcake!

The "spaghetti" is drizzled frosting, the "meatball" is a Ferrero Rocher, the "sauce" is strawberry preservatives, and the "cheese" is white chocolate shavings!  How cool is that?

I forget if I have anything else that's exciting to say, although I probably do.

OH.  I had this dream last night about Mr. Kjargaard having an extraordinary potluck where there was meat and fish and pasta and candy and snacks.  Because it was only a dream, I ate as much as I wanted and I never got full.  It was awesome.

i had a dream that i could fly from the highest swing

Bye for now!
