blah

i feel inordinately depressed.
its hasn't been a good week, or month, or year, for that matter.
tonight is halloween and i am listening to the kids shouting "Trick or Treat!!" at the door and it is making me oh so depressed.
also i can here my mom talking in the next room about a kid who drowned.
uuuuuhhhghghgghghgg.

So nanowrimo is starting tomorrow. Should i do it? i've been writing a lot lately (not here) but im also really busy. ok no excuses. i should decide.

ps: His Dark Materials is addicting

pps: my parents are trying to make me hand out candy. Its so depressing all i can do is wordlessly hold out the bowl. They (the kids) will probably think i am mentally deficient, when really I'm just jealous.

In search of the oreo cookie: Attempt1

Im probably one of the few people who enjoys the cookie part of an oreo more than the cream. I love the crispy dark chocolatey goodness. Thats why I decide to try baking them at home.

Attempt one:
I used the chocolate sandwhich cookie recipe off of food network dot com. These really dont merit a picture. there weren't enough wet ingredients to bind the dough together which meant adding water (gasp!). Also there was too much leavening(baking soda and baking powder?). The result was a fluffy cookie full of air bubbles. moist is nice but definitely not what i was looking for. It definitely did not satisfy my craving for crunchy, deep chocolate flavor. i ate them anyway, of course, but still. not good.

super delicious moist vegan chocolate cake!! easy too!

The apple sauce gives it a distinct taste. These are very moist! i left them out on my counter and they didn't dry out!!

1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup oil
1 cup soy milk
1 small container apple sauce

sift dry ingredients together.
add wet ingredients.
mix to incorporate (if batter looks too dry or wet, add small amount of soy milk/water of flour)

put in the pan(s) and bake!!

I told you i looked good before i left the house!!!





uggggghhhhhhh.
sorta crappy day. Shit happens so i try not to let it get me down. Seriously though, why do people like insane crazy bitches???? Its obviously a way to feed off that persons perceived importance to try and raise one's one abysmal sense of self esteem(psychology voice). Any way...kay i know blogs are liked based on their pictures. so here goes... OK I will try and keep it positive from now onward.
now pictures of my model cat..... oooohhhh yyyeaaaaaaah hahaha

mentirosa

ok. so its my first entry (well technically 2nd). I dont want to sound all emo (emo blogger is such a cliche!!!!!! uber lame) so...here goes ...

I think Ive been learning a lot more about people and their motives lately. I feel like i can tell what drives them, i just dont get why they want {whatever} so much. Im surprised people have the nerve to blatantly make up lies! i mean seriously! do they think we're stupid? I think its pathetic when someone i dont even talk to claims to know my secrets. Its amazing how low someone can stoop and how many ridiculous lies they can tell.

from now on I resolve to:

  1. call someone out if i know they're lying. they need to stop getting away with it
  2. not let people talking about me affect me. if they dont want to discuss it with me then its their problem.
  3. keep talking to more people and being positive.

btw, heres a fave blog of mine http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com
