Crayons, dinos, and cake

So I hung out with the boyo's family for most of yesterday. It was fun, yet odd. Each time I hang out with them, I realize more and more how comfortable a family is meant to be with each other. Either way, my family is nowhere near as comfortable together as my bf's family is. Ah well, each family is different, no two are the same, the grass is greener on the other side, <insert more clichéd sayings here>, if you feed a cold you'll have to starve a fever!?!?

Sorry, I got a bit carried away with sayings.

Anyway, that was endeavor was fun. His step-sis is young, and has met me maybe three times now, and as such, she became quite attached (you know how kids are with new people sometimes... I feel like a shiny new toy :D). The boyo, his sis, step-sis and I all drew on the table at the restaurant with crayons (though not to worry, there was paper on the table, as it was a dinner for after a footie tournament for under-13s), and I think we all did rather well. I'll upload my drawings down below. I was tasked to draw a Bulbasaur, but it's been a while since I collected pokemon cards and played the game, regardless of my nintendo DS and my two pokemon games on that. I haven't encountered a bulbasaur there, but I DID catch Lugia! Anyway, the point is, is that I was searching on google for what the hell it looks like, and I came across this:

Full pic of it here

How awesome is that?! I don't know who the artist is, but I'm loving the anatomical explanation of what a Bulbasaur is!

My drawings. The bulbasaur is up there by the salad, just click on the picture to enlarge it.

By the way, I'm posting this from my bed (as usual), on a sunday morning. So relaxing. Also, my bf is asleep, so I can girl out and look at sites concerning girly things... and also Cake Wrecks, which is an awesome site that can usually either provoke amazement, or hilarity. Every sunday they give a post of awesome cakes, instead of the usual wrecks. This sunday is one about tattooed cakes (awesome!), but previous sundays have had ones about wedding cakes.... and I loooove them. I just want them everyday of my life. So pretty. This is the one that I want on my wedding day:

Wow, this post is pretty picture and link heavy, huh? I think I've been browsing the internet for too long this morning. I also need breakfast, but it might just be turning noon soon, so I guess it's brunch. I might poke the bf until he's awake, and suggest we go out for brunch... mmm... foooood.... *drool*

Birthdays, cake, and lots of booze.

So it turns out that I'm turning 20 in a couple of days. It's weird, moving from my teenage years into official adulthood. I'm a few months older than my boyfriend, so does that then mean that I'm accidentally cradle robbing? Maybe not, since he's 19 and all. I feel old. I'm one of the oldest of my friends, and I believe one of my bf's friends turned 20 in march, so he beat me to the chase. Usually, my birthdays aren't that terribly great, so I've come to look at them with a sort of apathy, but this time seems to be different. My bf and friends have already held me a surprise party, which was really quite awesome (lots of booze and ice cream cake... mmmm...), and then I'm going to have a nice birthday dinner with some of my friends on my actual birthday. Hopefully it will just be a nice chill day, maybe also with lots of booze, but i've got a final the next morning, so maybe just a bit of booze. I'll let you know.

Well, it's also the end of school and the start of finals week... Except I'm in university and it's a lot harder than finals in highschool. Once I've done these exams, I'll have finished my second year of uni and will be out looking for a job. I've sent out so many resumes and coverletters though, that it just seems a bit hopeless... especially since someone you know sends out two and gets the job a week later. While i'm congratulatory, I also say "poop" to that. Big stinking pile of poop.

Hopefully things will go alright in the coming weeks. I'm not going home over the summer, so we'll see how that will turn out.

No photomanipulations of dinosaurs in hats right now, so I'll just leave you with this random photo i found of a zombie hello kitty cake:
