Memories from childhood, sushi, and fries

My sis just reminded me about how we used to go to swim practice when we were young, and afterwards we would have magnum icecream and thick delicious fires with mayo and shirley temples (non-alkie, of course... my parent's weren't THAT ridiculous). It was such an awesome memory; the random meal was always such a great reward after swim team practice. It was actually just the best thing ever after swimming for an hour as a kid... It would fill your belly with cold and warmth and deliciousness and mmmmmmmmm.

Mmmmmmm..... Friiieeesss...

Come to think of it, a lot of memories centre around food for me, which kinda makes sense considering the person I am... I mean come on, I would be obese if I didn't have a great metabolism. I'm 53 kg (117 lb i think, according to the scales at the gym), and I'm about 5'4", and I love food. I love food SO MUCH. It's one of my favourite things ever (regardless of the fact that I need to eat in order to survive). I love trying out foods and finding delicious flavours, and I kind of miss eating meat - I'm a pescatarian, which is a vegetarian that eats fish sometimes... I'm slightly anemic, so I need something - because of the delightful aromas that comes from meat dishes that I've been smelling over the last 9 years of pescatarianism. I've been tempted to go back to chicken, because chicken was my favourite thing back in the day. I actually tried vegetarianism for a couple of months before I ended up being tempted by chicken nuggets that my mum used to make that were always yummy. I was veggie for a couple of years, until my parents decided that me not eating any sort of meat was bad for my health, even though I didn't like fish back in the day. Now, I eat sushi, which I can't believe I like, because I used to really not like fish at all.

My faves are Dynamite Rolls and California Rolls <3


Anyway. Most of my childhood memories probably revolve around delicious food. It's true. I just love food. I love trying new restaurants, even though back in the day I had the worst luck with restaurants when me and my family went out together. I used to order things that sounded great, but then would just be terrible in that particular instance, but everyone else would be enjoying their meals and I would have to just sit there and push food around because I was a picky eater. However, that's turned around as I moved away from home. Now, I'm the one that gets the awesome meals, and my family leave the place feeling unsatisfied. I just look at it as payback for the years of sad face tiemz at restaurants in my youth and most of my teen years.

If anyone actually reads this blog, what do most of your childhood memories revolve around? Is there a theme that you find prominent or that you remember most because of it's recurring status? I'd love to hear about it... Seriously! Leave a comment, guys!

The huntress stalks the job interviews in the night...

So this past weekend has been pretty great. My boyo came back to visit for the weekend, and while I had planned a romantic picnic to be had in a park, it didn't happen. Instead, we played beer pong with one of my good friends, and spent most of that night having pizza, watching south park, and then ending up puking. Other than that, we cuddled a bunch and played League of Legends (I like to lane with him :3). Ooh, and we also had a bubble bath! It was vanilla birthday cake scented and yummy smelling :D. We spent a lot of the time just cuddling and hanging out, because that's what we do and I'm addicted to being comfy while being in his arms, so go figure. We're kinda a low key couple. We like to cuddle and just hang out. It's mostly hanging out rather than going out, which I'm fine with. It kinda feels like we're supposed to be living together already. We've talked about it, but it's not feasible until we both get jobs and support ourselves. It'll happen at some point; probably after my sis moves away and I'll have to get a different apartment because it wouldn't make sense to still have two bedrooms.

Anyway, he had to go home this afternoon, but it was okay because I had a job interview today. I think it went well, but I only had one reference, so we'll have to see how that goes; never mind the fact that the referent isn't in the country. It was my first interview ever, but I still think it went really well. I just tried to act normal for once and be personable, and I think it worked out. They said they'd let me know about it within a week, so that will be good. Apparently, because it's a home depot, I would have to wear steel-toe shoes for safety, which I'm fine with... It just means that I'm going to have to go out and buy some steel-toe shoes if I actually get the job. Either way, if I don't get the job, at least now I've had an experience with an interview, and it was a good way of learning how to deal with my nerves in that situation. The person was really nice and she put me at ease, so that was good. It made it a lot easier to answer her questions anyway. I really wouldn't mind working there... It's such a relaxed atmosphere. Very welcoming.



It's been a pretty eventful few days for me. I got a call from Ardene earlier today about setting up an interview, but my phone kept cutting out. The person said they were going to call me back in 10 minutes (after the call), but they never did, so that was a bit sad. It was a blocked number too, so I couldn't just call back. They didn't give their name or tell me from which store they were calling from so that I could find a way to contact them again. It's really frustrating when that happens, because I really just want to get a job. I hope they call me tomorrow, otherwise I'm just going to have to call each store that I applied to online to see if they have a job opening. The funny thing is, is that I applied to Ardene and Home Depot as a whim sort of thing, just to apply because I really need a job and while I hadn't heard of any job openings, I thought it was a good idea anyway... Go figure! Anyway. I hope ardene calls me back. I would like to have options, and just maybe flaunt it and gloat to my parents that I can do something on my own, even though they think that I can't.

So anyway. I hope everything ends up good. I feel like I should call the art gallery back, and see whether they've processed my resume and if they're willing to set up an interview, but I'm pretty sure that if they wanted me they would have contacted me... Then again, everything works slow in this area.

On another note, I've been sucking really bad at League of Legends lately. REALLY bad. I've just not been having good games at all. I think I fell into complacency with the Coop-vs-ai mode, because it's easier to deal with and way more casual. It's also just a really easy game mode. I think I need to get better at this game if I'm going to keep playing with my bf and friends. My bf and his friend are lvl 20/30. I'm lvl 13. I'd love to just spend the entire day and night playing, but it's just going to annoy my sis with all of the incessant clicking of my mouse. I'm usually always playing as Annie. I used to be pretty great at using her, but now it seems like I've forgotten. I love playing as Annie. I love Tibbers. He's cute and cuddly X3 <3 I think I might end up dressing up as her for halloween this year. If I do, I promise I'll take pictures! I hope I can get a pink wig to wear. I would love to chop and dye my hair pink, but somehow I don't think that would go over well with the boyo. I personally would feel the obligation to dress like a superhero every day that I have pink hair, but hey. I kinda really want to chop all my hair really short... As in below my chin short, but above my shoulders. I've been growing my hair for a couple of years now, but I got it cut recently. It's now just by my chest instead of being down my ribs. Anyway.

You wanna play too? It'll be fun!


It's 2.41 AM now, and I'm getting a bit sleepy, so I think I'mma have to head to sleep. Good night/morning, all! Have a good sleep and all that jazz.

Trying out different blogs!

I'm always trying out new places to blog, so just so you guys know that if I find a better place to blog, I will let you guys know. Right now I'm checking out tumblr, which seems really nice! I really like the themes, and that always appeals to me when choosing a blogging place. I also really like how free it seems, in that it doesn't matter if you don't just give large blogs, or if you just wanna post random pictures.

So yeah, I'll let you guys know! If you're interested, my tumblr link is to the right, in the new links section.

If you guys have any other places you like to blog on, and would like to suggest any, please comment!
