Gonna love 25 :)

2009-04-24T11:16:00.012-10:00

I feel old. I mean, I'm going to be 25 so I guess I mean to say 'older'. But the feeling is all the same. "Can you believe we're going to be 25 this year?" Actually, I can. And I've found that it's not a bad thing. And it's not one of those, where you shrug your shoulders and say "oh well, that's life." I mean, I'm really okay and in a strange way happy about turning 25. "Everyone's all grown up!

You and I are the same.

Ovarian Cysts and Cancer

2008-11-18T11:03:00.018-10:00

I was watching tv last night and a commercial came on. I hate commercials but this one was about ovarian cancer awareness. It really got me thinking. With recently finding out that my mom has breast cancer(this Halloween), I started thinking about my own risks. With already having ovarian cysts, the risk for me getting cancer continues to increase. I won't be hypochondriac about it but that

2008-11-09T01:45:00.009-10:00

It's a weird name for this dish but since I used sloppy joe mix, I thought it was fitting. :) This dish has a smokey, hearty taste to it. You could easily substitute the rice with pasta or another starch. I just happened to have leftover rice.

I got off work early since it was a waiver day for schools and since Jonathan had to work later than usual I had time to kill so I headed downtown and met up with friends. It was quite packed downtown since it was First Friday. There's a lot of art museums and entertainment happening all at once, as well as wine tasting and other bars packed with people.This lady calls her art "Paint by Number".

Kawaii Kon '08

2008-04-26T23:18:00.009-10:00

I'm unsure how I felt about this year's anime convention. There were good moments and awkward moments where I felt no love from the con. Last year was all about love. It could've been that I didn't buy a booth this year but whatever the reason may be, I hope that next year will be better. I didn't take much pictures on Friday because I went there late after work. Since my camera phone doesn't
