250th!!! :D

(Yeah, 250... Whoa. .____. )

To be honest, I kinda forgot about posting for a little while there... I think this is the first time I haven't posted in one month...? :\ Well, I'm a little bit ashamed of myself, THAT'S for sure! XD

BUT, I'll do a small re-cap of the last month, if you would like! *this is not optional. I AM doing a recap :P*

During the first week of August, I went to Florida. I did not get tan- I still glow and sparkle in the sunlight. (yeah, I'm not even kidding. I'm so pale, I SPARKLE when I go outside! XD) Immediately after we got back, we went to Canada for a few days for a funeral... U_U But, I had fun nonetheless, and my family (including my relatives) were considering letting me fly out to Canada on my own for my birthday next year to visit the capital of New Iceland*!!! X3 So ja, I'm really excited for next June, now, even though it's all hypothetical, and I don't really want to travel alone. ;3

After that, I literally had one night and three full days before school started, so the only cool thing that happened was Phoebe came over to my house again~! ("legally obtained" cash. ;D)

Well, as far as "physical things" go, ya, that's what happened. .___. BUT! I did some baking in the past few weeks and I would love to show pictures! *which I did take, btw*

So, the first thing I made was Kladdkaka. It's Swedish for "gooey(or sticky) cake", and it's basically like eating brownie batter... *~* But it's cooked, so it's okay to eat. The center TOTALLY sinks down, so it doesn't look the way it does in my pictures; which were taken before I let it sit for an hour. C:

Anyways, this is really good, and I recommend making it at some point! :D

Nom nom nom...

NEXT!!! Today, I baked some bread for the very first time! *O* OMGKASDKLSAJKDYASHDKLFNJDSFH YAY!

IT. WAS. DELICIOUS.

Uhh, let's see... Well, over the course of the entire summer and a couple months before that, I have become totally obsessed with Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland; basically, the Nordic Region. ;) (my reason: HEATLIA~!!!! *regains composure* and they are really awesome places in general... (Ja, THAT'S why... XP)) So, I've been like, ACTUALLY trying to learn Icelandic (and Norwegian, btw), and I have been doing some actual research on the ACTUAL country! (not just the character, but I'm not denying the fact that I researched him, too... <3 been="been" doing="doing" have="have" i="i" why="why">actual
things? Well, in my research, I have found that it really sounds like a gorgeous country, and for me, the perfect place to live. <3 all="all" at="at" called="called" der="der" has="has" hot="hot" i="i" is="is" it="it" mean="mean" not="not" s="s" snow="snow" summer="summer" the="the" uh="uh" winter="winter" yeah="yeah">Iceland for a reason, Miranda. XD) and it's one of the least densely populated countries in the world; not to mention I love the history and the language. X3 (There's also the depressing reasons of mine, so I guess I'll just put those as a footnote at the bottom of the page... it doesn't really matter if you read them. **) (Since I love planning years ahead, I even looked in to how to become a citizen there! Ja, I know, call me crazy, but I'm seriously looking forward to that, now.)
I STILL haven't posted ANY pictures of Eril yet, but mostly because I haven't taken any of her yet... And, I was going to do a "welcome" post for her, but eh... *lazy*

The last thing I did was draw some more, and watch anime... ^^;" I bought the fourth season of Hetalia back in early July, so I was all happy-fangirling and stuff; and still am! X3 (mostly because there was an extra episode with the Nordic five, and it was really funny, and I love Norway's voice... <3 also="also" i="i" nbsp="nbsp" span="span" started="started" tsubasa:="tsubasa:" uh="uh" watching="watching">RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, and I love it! I'm also reading the manga, and it's totally awesome. I recommend it. FO' REALZ, YO. :) Oh yeah, and I started to re-watch One Piece, because the last time I saw it, I was like... seven. XD

Anyways, that's what I've been up to! Anything you want me to go a bit more in-depth on? ^_^

*New Iceland: It's a small-ish area in Manitoba, Canada, and the capitol- where I want to visit next year- is called Gimli, and it's a few hours drive away from Winnipeg, the capitol of Manitoba. C:

**My depressing reasons for wanting to move to Iceland: I really hate it where I currently am... I honestly do. There's hardly ANY snow, and it's way too damn hot in the summer. (yeah, I just used a bad word. Trust me; I say much worse things daily, and I apologize if this offends you.) Everyone I know (and don't know) seem to hate me because I'm an odd person. Also, my family doesn't understand ANYTHING about me, and I'm constantly mocked by others for my dreams and interests... U_U,
