Fireflies - Owl City |
] |
So it appears that I'm following in the footsteps of a few other folk around here and getting the hell out of dodge leaving. I've been with the company for well over a year and a half and I've come to the conclusion that it's just time for me to grow up move on. I've learned a lot about myself while here and have met some bloody amazing people, but... I want to be close to my family again. I have no shame in admitting that I miss them.
It's been fun. Oh, and if any of you are ever up my way in Kensington, look me up. If nothing else I can give you a place to stay for a bit.

Breath - Breaking Benjamin |
] |
My brother got a dog. Arthur, not Max, if any of you remember him. Well, he got his daughters a puppy. A keeshond. Is he not adorable? Anyway. They're supposed to be very well behaved, easily trained dogs, and it made me think for a split second that I wanted a dog. And then he told me that Magnus nabbed a hold of one of the wires to the DVD player and chewed right through it. Yeah, I changed my mind real quick. I know not all dogs are ill behaved, and he is just a puppy, but... no. If I ever feel the need to get a pet I'll stick with a goldfish or something. Boring, yes, but at least it won't gnaw on things.

But anyway. My mask finally came in and I'm happy that it matches the bodice of my dress. I was worried that the colors were going to be horribly off. Now to just figure out how to wear my hair and I'll be set.

If that bald pompous arse windbag of a marriage counselor asks me one more time why I’m so angry… my size six shoe is going to introduce itself to his large rump. It’s not like he even knows me. I’ve said three, maybe four words to him in passing. How can you get that I’m angry from that? Cael – am I an angry individual? I think I’m just going to stay in the kitchen until the know-it-all leaves. And since I’m camping out, do you want any special cookies, Ben? You know, peanut butter with chocolate chips and five marshmallows? How about four shavings of coconut? Anything tickle your fancy, cupcake? Okay, maybe I am a little… snarly, but whatever. The walking bowling ball can just leave me alone.

Socialburn - Down |

( private )
So I managed to burn my forearms the other day. I was pulling something out of the oven from the bottom rack - not paying any attention, mind you - and bam! A pretty red mark across each of my arms from the top rack. Lovely. It's not the first time I've burnt myself in a kitchen, so I know how to take care of them, but it still sucks all the same. Looks like I'll be wearing gauze wrap for the next little while. Awesome.

First of all, I want to apologize to any of the men my Mum might have hounded questioned about going on a date with me while she and my Dad were here for Christmas. I'm not that desperate, I'm quite happy in fact, she's just crazy desperate for more grand children. So again, I'm sorry if a crazy, British lady approached any of you about a date with her daughter. She really didn't mean any harm.
Secondly? I have been watching way too much crap on the History Channel about the Apocalypse and all of that lovely, fun stuff. Right now there's something on about what they're calling the "First Apocalypse," which was a volcanic eruption that apparently wiped dinosaurs out. Funny. I always thought a meteor or whatever caused the dinosaurs to die out. It's pretty interesting, though you would think that they could do better photo-shopping on some of these creatures. Never ceases to make me giggle.

I mean, I know Amy Winehouse uses it all the time and it's part of the reason for the whole...emaciated look and the fact that she's completely out of control Not that she was running around crazy like this chick is, but I don't know. Maybe they're not anything like us, but it makes me think of our wedding

This place is absolutely breath-taking. And I'm a big fan of the temperature. I love being able to wear hooded sweaters and the like and having an excuse for wanting to cuddle. The crispness of the air is just...refreshing, I guess. The only thing not awesome about this place? The head of the kitchen is a total twat. I went in earlier today to introduce myself and get a feel for the kitchen and to see who I would be working with for the next little while and he was just a complete bugger.
Landon, I mean it when I say I miss your sarcastic arse.

Make This Go On Forever - Snow Patrol |
] |
I saw some young chap wondering around today gnawing on what appeared to be a piece of taffy. You know, not like salt-water taffy, but that candy created by Wonka. Oh fiddlesticks what's it called... a bar of Laffy Taffy. I guess you'd call it a bar. It wasn't the bite-size pieces, but one of the adult? sized candies. Anyway, for one reason or another, seeing him with that made me think of the candies back home and now I have a mad craving for Cadbury Roses, Mars Bars, and Lion Bars. I don't know, it's probably because I haven't eaten any in forever, but I really want some. But since apparently it costs an arm and a leg to have anything shipped out here, not to mention I don't want mushy, beaten up chocolates, I'll just have to crave them until I take a trip home. I'll survive. And I'm sure there's got to be some form of candy around here that can tide me over until then. I suppose I'll have to look next time I'm out.
At least I have the new episode of Robot Chicken to look forward to on Sunday night. Am I the only one who's terribly excited about it? Probably.

It needs to be October...so I can get Season Three of Robot Chicken already. Season One and Two are good to watch, but I've watched them so many times that I can almost quote most skits perfectly.
I'm pathetic a dork. I know.
My random play list hates me.

I've started drawing again..I was actually amazed at how accommodating this place was with art supplies. I mean, I brought my pencils and chalks with me, but went off without a sketch pad. Bleeding stupid, but it happens. I found a fairly nice book down at one of the shops the other day and bought a few more pastels and the like and have been drawing in my free time ever since. I had forgotten how relaxing it was except in the case where you draw something and come to realize it resembles someone afterwards. I think I may go out and get some painting supplies next. Do a few pieces and decorate my room with them or something.

I realized that when I went to LA with my brother the other week that I missed traveling. Well, flying in particular. Its exhilarating. I think next time I accumulate some time off I'm going to visit the East Coast. I went to culinary school in the North East (I suppose that's the area you'd consider Rhode Island?) and I went to New York once...but other than that, I'm clueless as to what's on that coast. Maybe I'll check out Atlanta. Or a beach even though I currently live right on a freaking island. Or maybe I'll go back to New York and check out something on Broadway. After watching Ace of Cakes last night, I have a want to see Avenue Q again. I saw it once while it was touring in London, but it'd be nice to see it again. It's a bloody fantastic show.
Anyone have any suggestions?

These storms are getting old. Fast. I'm all about the rain, but I'm not the biggest fan of the thunder and lightening that are sometime accompanying the rain. I've been scared of it since I was a chap and I no longer can run to mum's room and hide under the sheets. Maybe I'll just go bug Max for a tick. Oh well, it can't be lousy all the time.
I think I'm going to play a game of Solitare. I sound lonely. If anyone is up for a game of cards - be it poker, Egyptian war, Speed, or whatever - you most likely know where to find me.

Lollipop (Candyman) - Aqua |

I stepped into the Sci-Fi Convention yesterday, just to see what all the hubbub about it was, and wow. I knew that people went all out for this kind of event, but I never expected to see such detail in some of their costumes. I mean, bloody Hell, some of them had to have had spent months working on their outfits. More power to them, I suppose. The first time a bobbin snags me when I'm working with a sewing machine and I'm finished. And hand stitching? No thanks. Grams tried teaching me when I was little and I always stuck myself with the needle. Yeah - definitely envious of the Sci-Fiers and their sewing abilities.
Some of the men are rather adorable all geeked out, though. One of the guests dressed as Wolverine asked me our for drinks Friday night. I didn't see any harm in it, so I told him I would. I suppose I'll see what he looks like beneath the mask come tomorrow night.

I discovered some of the best tasting gum ever today while roaming about the Shops. Extra Fruit Sensations in Strawberry Banana is absolutely amazing. I'm not the biggest of gum chewers, but it's bloody fantastic.
In other news, there is ziltch on the tele worth watching tonight. Adult Swim will be on in a tick, but I don't feel like watching American Dad or Family Guy. And even then I think Robot Chicken is a repeat. Yeah. TVguide.com says it's the Star Wars spoof episode. As awesome as it was, I don't think I want to stay up until midnight to watch it. Again. Bah. Oh well! I'll either find something to watch, play Guitar Hero or mess around on the Wii....
Anyone interested in coming by and playing some video games?

A death. A fire. What next?
No one can say that this place isn't exciting, that much is for certain. Let's see...I'm glad that the wedding is done and over with. Not that most of the people weren't dolls minus the flock of heathens, but the cake and pastries for it took forever. And by forever, I mean the cake took probably close to a week alone. Oh well, though, I guess. As long as they enjoyed themselves, right?
Aside from work, I have been a complete hermit. Sorry about being such a sucky roommate Hannah! I promise to make it up to you somehow. I'm sure we can find something fun to do between the two of us. Lord knows I need some fun in my life right about now.
Annnnd. There. To all those that are new to the island, hi! Welcome to the island. I'm Izzy, one of the pastry chefs here. Glad to see you all here! :)
