Why I Don't Like Cooking

1. All the dirty dishes afterward.
2. It's expensive. 
3. Who am I going to give my food to when I get sick of the leftovers?
4. It takes way too long.
5. I have no patience, and never enough time to sit down and just wait for food to cook.
6. When I make something really good (because I'm not going to waste my time cooking recipes I know aren't yummy) I just want to keep eating it. And it's not healthy to be eating a whole plate of cookies or tons of pasta. 
7. I'm never home long enough. 
So...it bugged me a little that even though I go and buy food when I'm out a lot, and actually save money by buying less groceries I'm not using and just buy things for sack lunches and breakfast, people think I never cook, or can't. So in the last 24 hours I've made ramen (with shrimp, green onions, and eggs added, plain is too boring), guacamole (I could live off avocados), eggs with spinach and cheese, and pumpkin bars that are amazing. And I can't stop eating them, like mentioned previously. So HA. And I'm making dinner for everyone this weekend! Tortilla soup (my favorite Halloween/Fall recipe), 7-layer dip (so so so good, you could eat that by itself for dinner, my family does), and either oreo truffles or a pizooki for dessert. No one hear knows what pizookis are (I love introducing them to people :) ) and I might have to save oreo truffles for when Christmas gets closer, or we all have Thanksgiving dinner together. Too bad I still have my class to finish in three weeks...

All In A Day's Work

Pocahontas, princess of her village (and currently the village existing somewhere in Rafiki's Planet Watch in Disney's Animal Kingdom), may or may not have been almost kissed by a full-grown man today, had her whole face grabbed by an adorable little girl for a kiss on the lips, have taken tons of pictures with thankfully proper older Indian warriors, and played tag with Rafiki in between meeting new people and making new friends. Also, she was asked a million times if her hair was real, and what ethnicity she is and where she comes from. For those wondering, OF COURSE it's real (duh) so why would you even ask, and Meeko likes to braid it when he's around. Also, Pocahontas is from the village Powhatan which is now called Jamestown, can be found in Virginia, and she's a Native American :) Now she's going to canoe just around the river bend to talk to Grandmother Willow about all the new friends she made today and all the sweet hugs and kisses she got from the little ones.

Sometimes I Just Want to Quit School

I'm taking this class. Persuasive Writing. Independent study. I feel like I've taken this same class about five times in my life now, and you'd think instead of getting harder it'd get easier. But no, they give you books to read where the author thought it'd be fun to make every word one you need to look up in a dictionary, and by the time you get to the end of the sentence you've already forgotten what the first half of the sentence was saying. I loathe those books. Do the authors just feel accomplished publishing something, or are they purposely trying to make our brains hurt? Or they like thinking they're better than everyone else because they can put ridiculous sentences together that nobody but themselves can understand. And somehow this class is supposed to make me a better person. All it's really doing is teaching me how to use online dictionaries and Wikipedia.
Also, I'm in the completely wrong section of the country to be taking an online class right now, there are WAY too many distractions. I work 'full-time,' and the rest of the time have decided to use wasting my money on Food and Wine at Epcot, "meeting" all my friends at work, and re-watching all the great Disney classics. Also of late, we like going to Steak and Shake (open 24 hours) to eat somewhat crappy burgers, harass the poor waitresses, and dance in the parking lot. And go to the Halloween party, which hosts fantastic dance parties with Woody and Jessie, and my favorite chipmunks. Also, Tarzan and Jane, the princes, and villains. Which, in my opinion, is a way better use of my time for a semester.
Blechh, school :P I'd rather just read a book. That uses normal English, thank you.
I was a muse from Hercules with Maverick and Goose
