Hey y’all! I have another kind of weird question for you. I’m weirdly feeling kind of homesick for like fast food chains from the west coast that aren’t on the east coast, and I’m especially missing being able to get decent like meat-and-rice bowls from a variety of places East coast/southern US people, do you have any recommendations for good chain restaurants* that are not available in California? (for people who weren’t here for my “oh no I’m moving how do I handle cold” posts, I moved from California to Tennessee last year) It does not have to be places with rice bowls, that’s just the main thing I’m missing. Well, that and good burritos?  *I do eat at small local places when I can, but I have uncommon allergies and it’s frequently easier for me to get an accurate ingredients list from a chain restaurant because they have a customer service division. Also it’s hard to get recommendations for local places without specifying exactly where I am lol
#the person behind the yarn#food mention#food tw#and like...not all the food I'm missing is really good food?#I miss Del Taco and all I ate there were their fries#I miss El Pollo Loco! And that is very far from authentic Mexican food#I miss all the tiny Mexican food places that were unbelievably good#I miss the teriyaki bowl place my mom and I would always go to when I had doctor's appointments#I miss fish! I did not realize how spoiled I was living so close to the coast#I didn't think I lived that close to the ocean until I moved to a landlocked state#I miss cheap avocados and produce that didn't rot in a week and my lemon tree#okay. enough of this I gotta come up with some positives#I like some of the local chain restaurants I've tried and a little chicken restaurant (the one I made the thank you chicken)#I love the local quilt shop#I love the view out the window from my sewing machine#I love being able to dance around the kitchen with music blasting and not disturb my dad or my brother#I love the creak of the floors and the way the trees sound like the ocean when the wind blows just right#I love my ongoing debate with my dad about whether or not the creature he saw on the side of the road one time was a marmot or a marten#I love that my filter broke one time in car with my dad and I said 'Is that a fucking capybara?!?' (it was not I think it was a nutria)#I love how happy my dad is any time he sees deer#okay. I think I am feeling better now! I'd still love any chain restaurant recommendations you have

Easy Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Grilled chicken breasts that have been marinated in teriyaki sauce, lemon, garlic, and sesame oil. Excellent for a hot summer evening and very simple. Sandwiches and green salads are excellent with leftovers. Grill quickly and at a high heat!

Dating Wriothesley Headcanons
Tumblr media
What is it like dating the duke of the Meropide Fortress?
Wriothesley is very sharp and observant, even the faintest difference in your actions, he will know if something is wrong. He may be busy but he won't waste any time in asking you what's wrong or he would be comforting you if you need comfort.
Given that he is the Duke of the Meropide Fortress, a similar title to the Iudex of the Court of Fontaine, do expect that he'd really be busy. But not busy enough to prevent him from visiting or contacting you.
If you're the type of person that would make him cute bento boxes hoping to embarrass him (prank), well think again, because he actually doesn't care! He might chuckle a second or so, but he really thinks that your bento boxes are cute and something (despite being consumable) to cherish. He appreciates the thought and designs you put into.
He likes eating meat because of protein, just how he likes eating yo-, so you mostly make meat dishes in your bento. Tonkatsu that looks like a shark? Cute! Teriyaki chicken that resembles a wolf? Looks good! Pasta with shark shaped sausages? Thats nice!
On the outward appearance, you'd think he's scary or someone who has anger issues but he's not. He's really soft, caring, and cheeky too!
Do expect that he'd melt into your touch once he gets home from work. He may also fall asleep on times you didn't expect him to.
"[Nameeeeee] I'm home!" Wrio said as he wrapped his hands behind you and kisses your cheeks. You both went and sat on the couch, Wrio still clinging to you, as you ask him about his day, you noticed he isn't responding. He fell asleep while clinging to you, looks like you're not gonna feel your arm later.
He may have prevented you in going to Fortress of Meropide many times.
"Y/N, No. You might be in danger." "But Wrioooo" "No.".
But that didn't stop you from going and having lunch/snacks/dinner (he sometimes stay in the office even at night to finish paperworks). Instead he taught you some self defense moves in case you needed. "Okay Y/N if someone grabs your arm what should you do?" "Break their neck?" "Ye- what no!"
He likes tea, but you know what he likes more? You brewing him tea. You somehow learned different brew mixes just for him and he appreciates, no, he loves it so much! Because he doesn't really have the time to mix tea with lemon or whatever, because he's busy.
He isn't really a fan of PDA since he respects your personal space but in certain occasions he will assert that he's your man.
For example, someone in the overworld was harassing with you while you were selecting meat for his next meal. "*Whistles* Looking good pretty/handsome, just like that piece of meat you're holding" You were contemplating to slap the slab of meat on his face but you suddenly felt familiar hands around your waist. "My, my, that's not how to talk to a lady/gentleman is it not? It looks like you need to learn some manners, don't you think so Madamoiselle/Monseiur?" He looks at you with a warm smile and he looks straight up to the eyes of the guy. "Scram if you don't want me to report you to Monseiur Neuvillette for harassment". "Why are you here sweetie?" "Please don't tease me but... I kind of missed you... So I was looking for you at home but you weren't there..." "Aw, Wrio!" He looks around then he buries his head on the crook of your neck.
When there are times that you needed comfort, he will try his best to be there (ex. documents finished early) . If not, as a promise or a substitute he will leave his fur coat draped on you. He'll make up to you by bringing you food though (or flowers/things if you don't like food as much).
If you feel sick, he'd take a leave to work, he'd care for you until you are healthy.
Wriothesley is really sweet and caring, despite of how sharp or scary he looks. He'd do everything to make you happy and comfortable, and it's not an exaggeration that he'd risk himself for you. He loves so much and he never felt so drunk in love before, but now he's drunk in love with you.

Low-Calorie Vegan Meals for Weight Loss
As someone who is actively trying to lose weight, I have recently been scouring the internet for healthy, low-calorie vegan recipes to make when I’m not busy exercising or saving health posts on Pinterest. While vegan diets are typically healthier than those that include meat or other animal products, there is still a lot of high-calorie, high-fat, highly processed junk food that is vegan friendly. On my weight loss journey, I have cut out nearly all processed junk food (with the occasional slip up because I am weak on my period) and am determined to maintain a healthy diet. Weight loss has never come easy for me, and it has only gotten harder with added health problems that slow down my metabolism and medicines that cause weight gain. Though I believe everyone is valid no matter their weight, I am not personally happy in my body; I feel sluggish and heavy and just plain unhealthy. So, if you are looking to lose weight like me, diet is a good place to start. Therefore, without further ado, here are some low-calorie, easy to make vegan recipes that can aid you on your weight loss journey:
Healthy Vegan Breakfast Cookies from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken (203 kcal)
Tofu Scramble: Breakfast of (Vegan) Champions from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken (175 kcal)
Slow Cooker Italian Chickpeas {Vegan} from Cookin Canuck (187.8 kcal)
Healthy Vegan Bean Burritos from Wallflower Kitchen (342 kcal)
Healthy Basil Pesto from Elephantastic Vegan (122 kcal)
Strawberry Chia Oatmeal Cookies from Live Eat Learn (94 kcal)
Low Calorie Fried Rice from Cheap Lazy Vegan (235 kcal)
Spicy Indian Tofu Red Quinoa Salad from My Plantiful Cooking (197 kcal)
Easy Plant-Based Stuffed Peppers from Nutriciously (394 kcal)
Easy Vegan Tian (Baked Ratatouille) from Nutriciously (224 kcal)
Sheet Pan Crispy Teriyaki Tofu and Broccoli from Recipe Runner (209 kcal)
Lentil Vegetable Soup from The Garden Grazer (164 kcal)
Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing from Budget Bytes (374 kcal)
Easy Italian Zucchini Stew from Skinny Spatula (199 kcal)
Chia Breakfast Pudding from Hurry The Food Up (158 kcal)
Sweet Potato Waffles from Yum Vegan Lunch Ideas (205 kcal)
Vegetarian Yaki Udon (Japanesse Fried Noodles) from The Veg Connection (150 kcal)
Vegetable Stelline Soup from Skinny Spatula (163 kcal)

HI can you give some examples of proteins/sauces/spices you use? That sounds like something that'd really work for me and my bf, and I'd love to know what has worked for you
Hey no problem! So just to catch up anyone else who sees this ask, I mentioned in the tags of another post that my bf and I make the same dinner every day: frozen veggies, white rice, and a protein if we remember to take it out to thaw. We just add different spices and sauces to change the taste up.
Teriyaki sauce and soya sauce are simple to add either together or separately. We like to add salt and pepper with chicken/beef concentrate for a simple rice and other times will add Cool Runnings Carribean Spice & Roasted Garlic (a little kick, lemon peppery) or Club House La Grille Smouldering Smoked Applewood (smokey and sweet.) We add chopped garlic and would add onion powder too if that didn't get ruined on us. All of this can be added to the veggies, rice, and/or protein.
We're still experimenting. If you have any ideas just try them out! I randomly added the Smoked Applewood and we loved it. It's a blank slate meal that goes well with most spices and sauces.

Hammer Of The Nice, Ordinary Guys
originally for CMJ New Music Monthly, 1997
"Pat and I were into the same exact kind of music," Taylor says--Queen, Pink Floyd, the Police. "It was like having a big sister in the band." Mentioning the Police has triggered something in his head, and he starts playing the drum part to "Next To You" on his legs. "I took the beating for being the new kid for so long," Taylor continues. "'New guy!'"
A snapshot of the Foo Fighters' dressing room: 20 bottles of spring water, 8 bottles of Perrier, a cooler full of soda, Snapple and iced tea, a cooler full of beer (including microbrews), two bottles of merlot, two giant bottles of IBC root beer, three loaves of French bread, several other varieties of bread, pitas, crackers, chips and picante sauce, coffee with sugar, cream and lemons on the side, granola bars, bite-size candy bars, a big stack of towels (one of which Pete is ripping up), a bowl of fresh fruit, another bowl of fresh berries, a few varieties of gum, and a hanging basket in the shape of a bull's head. This last is not in the band's contract, and Taylor is trying to figure out how to wear it.
Note that all this is not dinner--just backstage snack material. (At the end of the night, Pete hijacks a lot of what's left for the tour bus.) For dinner, there's surprisingly good catering--teriyaki chicken, rice, various vegetable and tofu things. As people eat, Taylor is drumming on the table--he eats a bit, then heads up to the drum riser to play some more. There's a Nick Cave tape playing over the PA, which doesn't stop him from taking a crack at "When The Levee Breaks" before the audience starts arriving.
Back in the dressing room, guitar tech Earnie "Guitar" Bailey (everyone says that's legally his middle name) is holding court, telling Nirvana stories--he started touring with them in early '92. After Nirvana ended, he and his wife had a restaurant in Seattle for a year; he sold it, figuring he'd take it easy for a while. And promptly got a call from Dave: "'I'm going on the road next week, wanna come?'"
Dave bursts through the dressing room, wearing a skull mask for no apparent reason and grabbing everyone in his path. Franz, paging through the tour itinerary, looks up: "Dave, why are we going to Sweden in November?"
"Because we need to rock, man! We need to fuckin' rock!" And out he goes.
Earnie, unfazed by the interruption, continues. "It's been interesting watching Dave growing into being the ringleader. At first, he wasn't used to calling all the shots--being the charming frontman. Now he's hilarious when he starts rambling on stage... I wish he'd be the same guy on stage he is on the bus.
"I think the second record's a lot more personal--"
Dave suddenly walks back into the room. Earnie pretends he doesn't notice, and raises his voice a bit: "Of course, the main thing about Dave is to never turn your back on him--he'll fuck you over in a second."
Smirking, Dave attempts to change the subject. "I had these breakfast burritos--for breakfast--"
Taylor interrupts: "Seeing as how they're breakfast burritos--"
Dave whacks him, and the room abruptly degenerates into everyone trying to toss candy-bars and fruit into the bull's-head basket. Then Taylor starts drumming again, this time on the bottles on the food table.
An hour or so later, various Foos and friends are watching the opening band, Verbena, doing their very loud Stones-via-Royal Trux thing on stage. Dave is really getting into them. Franz, backstage, is quizzically examining a box of ginseng that a "runner" has retrieved for the band. Nate, who's been missing for the past few hours, comes back with two huge bags of clothes; he's got a bad toothache and isn't talking much, so he pretty much keeps to himself. Taylor is in the dressing-room bathroom, drumming on the fixtures. He's liking Verbena. "They sound kinda like Nirvana! Bleach!"
By 8:30, the band are finally all in the same room. Let's just say drumsticks are a dangerous thing to have in a dressing room. Dave eventually starts doing a little rhythmic exercise on the wastebasket; Taylor joins him, on the other side of the basket. This, it turns out, is a nightly ritual, a drill to focus their concentration. There are two drummers in this band.
Showtime. The hall, we later find out, is about 3/4 full, but it sure looks fully occupied. They start out the set with both Taylor and Dave playing drums; after a minute, Dave switches to guitar, they go into "This Is A Call," and we get to see the results of all that ginseng. Everybody's leaping around the stage like crazy for the hour-plus set. They do a new one, called "The Colour And The Shape," a fast, Pixies-ish thrasher; they do most of the hits (though not "Big Me"). But the big cheers are for "Everlong." "You get that just right," Nate said earlier, "it's kind of orgasmic, really. It's amazing when it really comes together." In fact, everything comes together--not bad for this lineup's third show.
Nate, on The Colour And The Shape: "It's almost like a concept record, some people say--the lyrics were all written at one period in Dave's life, and they really reflect well what was going on in Dave's life."
Dave's perspective: "Writing lyrics, you're taking something completely intimate and turning it into something completely not-intimate."
Taylor, on Dave: "Do not compliment him. He can't take a compliment."
As it turns out, Taylor isn't even as much of a party animal as all that. As everyone gets onto the tour bus the next morning, Gus asks him what happened with the two women he'd been flirting with at Emo's. "Left 'em there, went back to the hotel, went to sleep."
The inside of the tour bus basically looks like a nice hotel room itself: tasteful curtains, a little couch-and-table setup, a ceiling mirror, a kitchenette with a coffee machine, a set of bunks for people to sleep in (stacked three-high). There's a stereo/VCR in front, another in back. Texas passes by outside. Taylor is up front, chatting with congenial driver Larry Ellis and singing snatches of "Billie Jean." Dave is chatting with Gus: "Did I tell you I found out I ripped off a Def Leppard song? That song 'Hysteria' and 'Everlong.' It's got a line 'breathe out so I can breathe you in.'"
A dialogue:
Gus: Do you guys want to go to Pensacola on your day off and go to the beach?
Dave: Fuck off.
Taylor: Day off after what?
Gus: Read your itinerary!
Taylor: Dude, I wanna go jet-skiin'!
Franz: In the rain?
Taylor: Oh, dude!
Skeeter Thompson, the old bass player of Scream, is coming in from Little Rock tonight--"Scream reunion!" There's some concern over the number of tickets the Dallas show tonight has sold: 1400 for a 3200-capacity venue. The Stones, Gus is quick to remind the band, have only sold 12,000 tickets for a show with Smashing Pumpkins opening, though, so it's not that big a deal. Things are tough all over. The album's down a notch in the charts this week, but there are five big debuts that came in above it--it's actually sold more copies this week than last. Eventually, almost everyone heads back to catch some Z's; Pete stays up front to watch Short Cuts on the VCR.
When the bus pulls into the Bronco Bowl, the converted former bowling alley they'll be playing in Dallas, it's just about soundcheck time, which means, since they're still teaching Franz the songs, that it's time to learn "Big Me." That's basic enough, so they follow up with an Angry Samoans cover that Taylor's never heard either--it's a little weird watching him figure out how to play hardcore. Dave demonstrates the drum break by waving his arms in the air. Taylor has an idea for a slight change in the arrangement of "This Is A Call," so they try it a couple of different ways.
"I don't know if we should do that at the end of every verse," Dave says.
"I think it fucking sucks," Taylor declares, and that's the end of that.

Vegans in Warsaw - Wegańska Warszawa
An "old" reborn chapter of my blog: vegan places in Warsaw. Earlier I mentioned several places of Polish capital which are either 100% vegan or serve vegan options, and here is another one.
! menu in EN/PL and my order is below
The first place in 2023 is "OCHO", address: Mikołaja Reja 9. There are plenty vegan options but it does have non-vegan meals as well so if it triggers you, don't go there. My rationale is 1) it's impossible to ignore/avoid all places which are not 100% vegan and 2) supply-demand works and the increasing interest/need from vegans is always good.
If you think the same and you are a curious foodie who are done with "proper" meals for vegans, aka smoothies and salads, definitely go to OCHO. It shares the same building with the "Ochota Theater" and it has a very colourful interior.

What I ordered... Honestly, my first intention was okonomiyaki but they run out of it so I ordered vegan kimchi toast with black coffee and it was an amazing choice 😌 You might say it's a simple toast but it was not a simple toast it was TOAST, the king of all toasts. I am writing it, and I feel this melting cheese in my mouth. The bread... mmm 😋 what can be compared to a nice crispy bread. It was heaven. I did not regret my choice.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The only downside was that we were waiting for a long time to get our food because there were so many people. On the other hand, it just proves how popular this place is and now I know why. Recommend recommend 💜
p.s. if you have other vegan places in mind which I need to go, please let me know.
LOTS of delicious FOOD to all fo you

What's something yummy you've cooked recently?! I'm out of ideas for dinner and looking for more!
HIII i've been cooking a lot of things lately yeas :^) here's some easy recipes i love a lot!!
chicken and rice
very basic and versatile recipe that you can't go wrong with :D i like making a little marinade for the chicken (diced chicken thighs or breasts, chicken breasts are easier to work with if you don't make chicken often), then cooking them until golden brown in a pan in some oil on medium-high. remove from the pan and use the same oil for some garlic (1 min), add in onion (4 mins) and bell pepper (2-3 mins) while on medium, add some more of the marinade you used and stir, then add the chicken back in and simmer on low for 1-3 mins
cook some rice in the meantime (use a rice cooker or microwave rice or boil some water, add a cube of vegetable stock and some salt, add rice in the pan, bring back to a boil then boil on low for 10 mins, drain instantly and stir regularly to keep it loose from the pot) then put the rice in a bowl with your chicken and veggies on top and some sesame seeds et voila, done :^) you can add more veggies if you'd like! i personally like adding some broccoli before tossing in the bell pepper
here's some of my favorite marinades, i don't really do precise measurements because i add it on vibes but the first ingredient is the one you add the most of!
olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, lemon juice, italian herbs, salt and pepper to taste
soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt and pepper to taste, optional sambal if you have any
chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, paprika, salt and pepper to taste
barbecue sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, optional hot sauce
olive oil, honey, garlic, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt and pepper to taste
when adding a mix of any of these as sauce to your veggies and chicken and you feel it's not thick enough for a sauce, you can add some cornstarch or flour to thicken it :)
butter shrimp
this recipe is very very good and i love it. so so much. i highly recommend using gouda instead of parmesan because it just tastes better in my honest opinion but then again that may just be because i'm dutch LMAO
you can eat it with pasta but i don't like pasta so i usually have it with bread instead! you can make some garlic bread or get some flatbread or pitas to go with it :D
greek chicken
cook some diced chicken on medium-high seasoned with honey, salt and pepper until golden; 1-2 chicken breasts/thighs should be enough
use the same pan for the veggies; 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1 onion and a generous sprinkle of oregano, cook for 3 mins on medium-high
add 100-200g of baby spinach (depending on how hungry you are and if you want leftovers), 100-200g cherry tomatoes (halved) and optional some mixed olives (as many as your heart desires), toss for 1-2 mins
add anywhere between 500 and 750g of tomato sauce (you can also use passata but that will make it a lot more sour!) 2 teaspoons of white sugar and salt and pepper to taste, bring it to a simmer and cook for 5 mins stirring occasionally
stir in a generous amount of greek yogurt and diced feta (as much or as little as your heart desires), put the chicken back in and cook for 1-2 mins then turn off the heat
serve with pitas or flatbread
udon shrimp stir fry
cook a pack of shrimp seasoned with some salt and pepper and a dash of soy sauce, remove from pan and set aside
cook mixed veggies (stir fry veggies of any kind) in the same pan following the instructions on the packaging
add teriyaki sauce and udon noodles, stir to combine and cook for 3-5 mins on medium
add shrimp back in the pan and heat them through for another 1-2 mins on medium-low
dutch pancakes
mix together 300g flour, a generous pinch of salt, 2 eggs, 500ml milk, some vanilla extract and some cinnamon (you can do this with an electric mixer or by hand, either works, just try to get all the flour lumps outta there)
heat some butter in a pan on medium and use a soup spoon to pour the batter in; if you're wanting bacon pancakes: instead of heating butter, put two strips of thin bacon in the pan and wait for them to start curling up a bit, then pour the batter on top
when the pancake is mostly solid on top (you'll be able to see the edges dry first and then slowly move toward the center, you'll want to flip when the center is still a bit moist but not active liquid anymore) flip it and cook for another 1-2 mins
repeat until you're out of batter :) these amounts should get you about 8 pancakes depending on how big you make them
potato salad
boil some water, season generously with salt, add baby potatoes and cook for 15-20 mins until you can easily stick a fork in them
in the meantime, cook diced bacon in a pan with onion and some garlic until the bacon is crispy, take out of the pan and set aside
use that same pan to make a little sauce out of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, dijon mustard, honey and salt and pepper and simmer for 1 min
cut the drained and cooled baby potatoes in half and put them in a bowl, pour the sauce over it and toss to coat then add bacon and onion
add some parsley and chives and toss
optionally serve with pork chops: season generously with salt and pepper on both sides then put in a pan with some oil, get them golden brown on both sides, remove from pan, add some soy sauce and a generous amount of honey and some garlic in the pan and let it simmer for 1 min then add the pork chops back in on high and turn them a few times to properly coat them in the sauce
shrimp wraps
find some pre-seasoned shrimp (either chili or garlic flavor, both work, garlic will result in milder heat levels) and cook them following packaging instructions, remove from pan and set aside
use the same pan for 1 onion, 2 bell peppers and 1 diced jalapeno pepper (remove seeds if you want it less spicy)
mix in some chili sauce, lemon juice and honey; season with salt and pepper to taste
put shrimp back in the mix
serve in tortilla wraps
those recipes should be fairly easy to follow and mostly use the same kind of ingredients so you can buy a whole bag of bell peppers and use them for several different things :D also highly recommend investing in a veggie cutter to save yourself energy and time if you have little to spare, i personally cut everything myself but i totally understand others might not have the spoons for that
as for all the sauces and stuff, you really just gotta practice to gain confidence in making it because there's no way i can explain measurements to you SHGJFDHGFD i just do whatever nowadays. don't be afraid to season things generously and as a general rule go easy on the vinegar specifically because that can most easily ruin the taste of something, keep smelling stuff to see if the sauce you're making is balanced or not!
if you have any leftovers, you can put those in a tupperware box of any kind and store them safely in the fridge! don't forget to eat it within the next couple of days or you'll have to throw it out, reheat it in a pan and make sure that the meat you put in is heated through well! as for the pancakes, you can put those on a plate and wrap in foil and leave them in the fridge for a few days as well, you can also eat those cold if you like :D

⋆˚  ✧. ┊┊ MUNDAY ASKS;; arcencielreve asked: 🍝 🍦 🍰 🤗 😗 💯
Tumblr media
🍝 — favorite food(s)?
I loveeeee chicken or beef teriyaki. Anything with Teriyaki. It's so good omg! Especially at this one Japanese restaurant my friends and I go to, their dishes are divine!
🍦 — favorite ice cream flavor(s)?
I love Kawartha Dairy's Moose Tracks flavour lately! I also love Spider-man flavour, bolero, cotton candy- omg Banana cream pie flavour from one of our local factories. Amazing!
🍰 — favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)?
I love me some mini eggs! oh, a good cheesecake too! Lemon-flavoured desserts!
🤗 — are there any rpc mutuals that you’d like to meet irl?
I would absolutely LOVE to meet @arcencielreve you of course, @astraltm, @galaxietm, @starsmuserainbow, @wintersovereign, @sparesovereign (not mutuals here, but you are on my jack frost blog. I'm counting it ghfdbghsf) @murkyhazed, HONESTLY, anyone that's on my affiliates list. You guys have my heart.
😗 — what are some of your favorite things to do when you have some time to yourself?
What you mean, bestie. my whole day is time to myself. Life of the unemployedddd. So uh, what I do throughout the day? xD Sometimes I bake goodies and give half to my friends. Play videogames. Been watching the Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagle Cams the last like...3 weeks? So they're on my screen from when I wake up to when they sleep. I like to drawwww. Maybe take a nap???
💯 — share three random facts about yourself that your mutuals may not know about you.
I hate socks despite having a huge reusable bag full of them. (No space in my small dresser for them. So I have them in a bag in my closet... That bag is an Official Beatles Love tote bag from Las Vegas when my parents went there for my Dad's work vacation with the company employees.) ---
Back in the day I was friends with Nick.Groff from Ghost.Adventures on face.book and one summer we had just gone to Fort.Erie, and we had our own experiences there. We even had the same tour guide as the GAC team. But I messaged Nick.Groff about Fort.Erie and how haunted it was and that the team should check it out. The next season that aired had a Fort.Erie episode!!! No longer friends with Nick on face.book because the man went squirrely. I don't blame the GAC crew for continuing without him. ---
Why am I struggling with this... sitting here for an hour trying to think of things to write out??? Who the heck am I. uhhhh-- I love the idea of the ocean. The deep sea creatures and the colourful coral reefs! Meanwhile I am TERRIFIED of outer space. Which is ironic because we know more about space than the sea.
