Why I totally love England.

*This is the story of the day I actually did something super duper productive*

Alright. So, today my dad and I were out shopping at an international food market. They have different sections for food that's from different countries, and I, being like, TOTALLY in love with anything from England(or Canada, for that matter. ;D) wanted to go to the English section; mostly because they have Canadian chocolate bars that aren't sold in the US(such as better tasting KitKats, Aero Bars, and Mars Bars). But, I found some lemon curd! 8D So I was like, "OMGZ WE HAS TO GET THIS!!!" because it's like, totally awesome.

Since I wasn't really feeling in the mood to just eat the awesome imported spread with a spoon(which I still did anyway. XD) I thought, "Hey, why don't I make scones?" So, about 2 hours later, I was in the kitchen and actually making some scones. (Hey, I know this whole thing may be like, super-duper-ultra-boring so far, but I spent like, two hours doing everything, and I haven't baked scones before, and for me, this was a practically life-changing event.)

While my scones were in the oven, I had the idea of making tea so I could be having English food; which was a pretty fruking(don't ask) awesome idea. (Despite the fact that all the countries in Hetalia say England's scones suck. XD But nobody mentioned the tea being terrible, and I like tea, so I thought, "Why not?") And to say the least, the whole process was interesting...

Now, for the revealing of it all...

This, my dear readers, is what two hours of work and standing to make authentic English food looks like. I made everything in the picture, except for the cookies(which I didn't eat at all) and the lemon curd, which we bought. Oh, and the scones probably look weird because they're brushed with egg yolk, but I don't really care. If they taste delicious(in my opinion), does appearance REALLY matter? XD But, anyway, I used our fine china, because I wanted it to be all special, considering I haven't had tea in two years. D:

The cream and sugar dishes. :D I even got a sugar spoon, so I'm pretty proud of myself. *is pretty proud*

Yum. Lemon curd... And I know it may not LOOK appetizing, but trust me. This stuff is AWESOME.

And last, but not least, my tea. It was AMAZING. In fact, I had about seven cups of tea today JUST because it was so awesome. 8D

And this, is why I totally love England; not the character. (Although, for the record, I do like England in Hetalia... ;D)

So, did you guys do anything that you're proud of lately? :D

P.S. Because I loved this food SOOO much(oh, the irony...), and it's all relatively easy to make, I decided that I'm going to have tea and scones for breakfast every day now. :) It's better than having a bowl of cereal every day, to say the least...

P.P.S. I'm considering changing Willow's last name from Pine to Lane... What do YOU think? D:

Pi day!

Happy Pi day, everyone! Did you know this is one of my favourite holidays? :D I even memorized quite a bit of Pi! And I'm pretty proud, if I do say so myself. ;)

What Pi I know from memory...

3.141592653589793238462643383279502884

... It may not seem like much, but that's the first 36 digits of Pi. :)

Oh, and there's something ELSE special today! :o It's Gwen's twelfth birthday! I feel kind of bad because I got her a mini Rebbecca and a book last year, but I didn't get her anything this year... :( I guess she got a present in advance?

And, there's yet another bit of information I would like to share with you! Kanani's new wig from Shopoholican on eBay, or Blythaholic on Etsy, came yesterday! :D :D :D Now she looks TOTALLY amazing! And, I can take pictures of her again!

This is like, a totally amazing day for me. In fact, one of the best one's I've had in forever and a half. ;)

How has YOUR Pi day been?

Man... I'm sooo tiiired today... I'm not really sure why, though.

Lately I've been feeling like a HORRIBLE doll person because I've hardly touched my dolls or camera in the past month. DX It's just pitiful of me. And I've been like, fangirly(although I do hate that term...) obsessing over things! Mostly any anime I watch, but whatever. It also applies to Spider Solitaire. I've gotten INSANELY amazing at it, and I'm pretty proud of myself. :) I mean, I got a winning streak of 75 games. .__. That's like, AMAZING for me! X)

Well, I am, however, going to be paid this Saturday, so I won't be stuck with only $4 and however many quarters I found in my money dish in my room! ^_^ Which MEANS i will be able to afford things such as...

A new wig for Yumie, my Pullip, because I accidentally brushed hers(which is REALLY bad, but I had forgotten that.) so now it sucks. :(
A Blythe doll wig for Kanani, because... something... happened to hers... >.<
Some pocket watch necklaces, because I L-O-V-E pocket watches!!! X3
If I have money left over, probably something Hetalia related... ;D

Well, now you know the inner-workings of the mind of moi. ;)

RANDOM FACT!!!

I kind of want to learn Finnish next year in ninth grade if it's a possible course to take.

Or German, but we already "have" books on that, and I have a French book, so I've been teaching myself that... mwahahaha...

... Do you think I'm weird? I wouldn't mind if you said yes, no, or entirely ignored this odd question. ;)

Back to "normal"

Sorry if I scared you guys on my last post. XD I just NEEDED to talk to SOMEONE, because I just came back from vacation, and I pretty much locked myself in my room at the condo and played video games. It was just like home! XD

So, anyway, now I'm back to my disturbed self. I'm not obsessive and disturbed as much anymore, so that's always a good sign...

Umm... Well, that doesn't mean I haven't been watching any anime that I really love! ;D Right now I specifically love Hetalia. In case you guys like, actually care, it's basically where the stereotype for each country(i.e. Russia, Germany, Italy, America, Canada, England...) is portrayed as a person(so each stereotype IS the country that they show the stereotype for). And it takes place during World War 2, but it tells about each country's history, too.

Now, if you're like, "Hey, what the heck!?!? Why would you find THAT interesting?!" Well, you'll just have to watch it. But, mind you, it's rated MA, and you have to be over 18 to watch it on YouTube(don't ask how I watched it...) :( So that really sucks. But, if there's a will, there's a way, I suppose...

So, anyway, now for my personal rambling that only people who know the show(probably none of you) would understand! ;D

Well, unsurprisingly, my favourite chracter in Hetalia is Canada. He's a really minor character(I mean, Prussia has a bigger part than Canada! And he's not even a country anymore! *eye roll*) but he's still awesome. He has this ADORABLE polar bear with him all the time named Kumajiro, and sadly, he(Kumajiro) is always asking, "Who ARE you?". Of course, Canada can't remember Kumajiro's name, either(For the record, I can't remeber Kumajiro's name that well!), so he calls him "Kumakichi". You can tell they know each other soooo well...

Oh, and Canada and America look REALLY similar, so everyone mistakes him for America. Especially Cuba, who keeps on beating up Canada and calling him America. :( And whenever they show Canada in one of the World meetings or Allied forces meetings, he's kind of, like, invisible... He really doesn't have much to do with anything related to WW2, so it makes sense to me that he would be invisible. (Mind you, this is a stereotype, so don't complain if this bothers you!)

At school, my friends and I claim to be different countries(you can probably guess which one I am... but I was called Canada before I even WATCHED the show, so it's not like I had a choice. I even tried to change to America... but no. I couldn't.). So, we have quite a few countries right now, including; Canada(me), America, England/Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Southern Italy(Romano), Austria, Cuba, Japan, Sealand, Germany, Lichtenstein, and some others I can't remember right now. But, it's getting kind of big now, which means I have more countries/my friends asking, "Who are you?" *eye roll* But it's not that bad.

Well, if you made it this far, PLEASE comment and say, "I like tacos" so that I know people actually come here still. ^_^

I'm back!!! ;D

Well, the title says it all! I'm in an unusually happy/obsessive(I'll explain later in the post!) mood today! I mean, I'm just SOOOO happy today! As in; I've-never-felt-this-happy-before-in-my-life-happy! :o It almost feels like I'm on an adrenaline rush! My "heart"(just for the phrase) just feels light today.

You could be thinking "Okay. I felt like that five times today, so what's the big deal?" OR you could be thinking, "Uh, why the heck are you so happy?! I thought you were like, depressed or something! DX" Well, whichever one you're thinking, I'm going to tell you why! Right about...

NOW!

So, I'm the kind of person that likes video games and anime and manga and stuff like that. You all knew that, right? Well I would hope you do. ;) (I'm stalling, if you haven't noticed. XD) And I'm also the kind of person that obsesses over stuff for prolonged periods of time. Well, there's this one manga(that is also an anime, by the way) called "Black Butler", and I'm A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y obsessed with it! Ever since November 5th, but especially this past month. n_n I love the story, and as some of my closest friends (such as Phoebe) can tell you, I talk about it practically non-stop. I have all the currently available manga for it (books 1-8) and I don't know HOW I afforded it, but it was all within the past month.

And I've been broke for two months. O.O I REALLY have no idea how I managed it AT ALL.

I don't really know why I like it so much, but it's just so... awesome! (Wow, I'm so descriptive.) I seriously think I'm going insane about it. XD

You're all aware how some girls will flip out if they hear they can get tickets to go see a Justin Beiber concert or something like that? Well that's how I felt when I heard there was a Black Butler VIDEO GAME.

Yup, you read that right. And I'll just tell you right now, I NEED to get that game!!! >:D I need it soooo badly, that I'll pretty much do ANYTHING to get it! If that means I can never eat pocky again, I'll take that offer up, sadly. I love pocky, but to have that game... :'(

I'm really starting to worry if I'm going insane-

You know what? I hit insanity a while ago. I've probably passed insanity, too. If only I knew what was PAST insanity... hmm...

P.S. I took Rebbecca on vacation with me, by the way. Although I thought reeaal hard about taking Kylie. ;D Rebbecca used the hotel's WiFi to look at pictures of the Ciel Dal(who she's in love with, because she loves Ciel!) on PullipStyle. XD She's just like me! (hint hint I did that too but with Ciel and Sebastian) O.O
