So, I just realized that out of the very few posts I have done (and sorry to anyone who actually reads that I have forgotten to post for quite a while) that a lot of my posts have been sort of, well, depressing.
I decided that I will say all the happy things that have happened lately to make up for that sad fact.
Ok, here we go.
A week and a half ago or so, I happened upon a free hamster in a pet store. He looked injured/wrong but he was free so I lovingly took him into my home. I bought the food he needed, and he had everything else. Now, I have a thing where I never name pets until I am sure they will last for a while and not die right away. My roommate and I had finally decided to call the little fluffball Scooter, because I had wanted a scooter and he kind of scooted around. Turns out, that scooting was because there was something apparently fatally wrong with him, and he died. At least we gave him a loving home for a few days and lots of love and attention while he was with us.
Oh gosh, that was umm, how do I put this......it's rather, depressing? Wonderful. Let me try this again.
Here, this should be happy. I recently discovered that I can actually cook! I can make food that is not only edible and not burned, but it actually tasted pretty good as well. I have made tacos, pasta, improvised/improved a box of hamburger helper, made actual hamburgers, tilapia fillets, and many other exciting dishes these past few weeks.
(and here I was thinking that the best I could do was to not burn the water. And yes, I have actually burned water before)
My roommate agrees that my food tasted spectacular, and I kind of just throw a bunch of things together and they turn out alright so it is amusing to find that it actually all fits together in a delicious way. Now, I am not a chef, mind you, and I do not dare dabble in many things more complicated than adding a jar of pasta sauce to boiled noodles, so do not go thinking that I am a master with food. Quite the contrary, I am just a poor college kid making do with what little is available to me.
Ok. What on earth is with me? I cannot just let things be. I have to dull it down so I am average. Strange, I never realized I did that before.
Hey! I just thought of something else fun and amazing that has happened recently.
I bought some grow-your-own-flower kit type things, with a pot and soil and little seeds to try to grow some plants. I have had these types of things before, and whether it was due to lack of care or lack of intelligent seeds, they have always seemed to fail on me. The strange thing was that this time, my plants actually grew! They started to sprout only two or three days after I planted them and they are amazing. They have been growing insanely fast ever since, and are now about six (six!!!) inches tall already! I can grow flowers and they love me and they are amazing. :D
Ha. So I think that is enough rambling for today. See ya!
