So very many things... All about me. Controlling anyone else is a pointless endeavour!

I have heard a lot about Justin Quek's restaurant in Shanghai, and I just had to try it when I was in Shanghai.  Everyone has raved about how this Singaporean has raised the bar of gourmet dining in Shanghai.  Dad purchase his cookbook for me when he was there last year, and I have tried his lobster laksa...and can i just say....it is the best laksa i have ever tasted.  I modified it though...i used Sri Lankan Mud Crabs instead of Lobsters due to cost.  Click here to read about it  

For main, I had a spiced roast duck breast.  The presentation of my dish was just out of this world...very articistic...and the portion was still very decent, so that was good.  Big plate with a decent amount of food...excellent...no big plate small portion sort of thing.   The duck was still pink...juicy and the marriage different spices used blended really well together.  The potatoes were great too!  Personally I do pay a fair bit of attention to how the potatoes are done.  It can't be too floury and dry.  It has to have flavour, a firmish texture with a nice finish.  Justin did great!

I know they say that women that are super-anxious to have a baby are "clucky". What do you call women that are super-anxious to have a dog? Because I'm looking at the Sweet Border Collie Rescue pages at all the dogs that need good homes and I'm starting to sniffle.

I grew up with 3 dogs, two of which were Border Collies. I know how high-energy these dogs are, and I know how much stimulation they need. They're working dogs - if you don't have work for them to do, you'd better have a damn good replacement to keep them occupied. The sad truth is that while I have the time to devote, I know I do not currently have the space to make one happy (even if I were allowed per terms of my lease; I don't think I'm going to inquire). I simply refuse to adopt an animal if I can't give it 100% of what it needs to thrive.

So, alas, I shall sulk a little bit and daydream.

    Please Help,

The birth of Canadian comedy

Holy wow, I is feelin' chatty today! I truly hope you guys don't mind all the music I post...If there's a consensus, I'll be more than happy to filter it...
This song reminds me of such a big part of my life...I was nineteen, had had my first real make-out with a girl (even though I'd been attracted to girls since 14 and had discussed it with my parents), knowing that SOMETHING was going to happen, some repercussion, but ultimately not giving a shit because, well, uh...

Tired doesn't even describe how I feel right now. Last night we at supper at Scott & Ramona's house. I made the mistake of drinking one cup of coffee at about 8. I didn't go to sleep until about 4:15 this morning and was up around 7:30...we have summer movie tickets and I took Sarah, Lauren and Carson (Ramona's neice & nephew) then met Ramona and a few other friends at the mall for lunch. We raced home afterwards, got ready for swim lessons from 2 to 3 then got back home around 3:45. Sarah napped from 4 to 6 while I zoned out and snoozed just a few minutes during Judge Judy. I'll be hanging this up in a few minutes.
Boy...yesterday morning I filled up my van and reset the odometer. This evening, Sarah and I went to Catfish King to pick up supper. When we parked the van at the house, I was already at 86 miles...that's two days y'all of driving just in town, doing the normal stuff we do. It's crazy.
Well...I'm tired. Night, all.

I have 3 birthmarks. One on my lower back that looks very much like a flat mole. One on the palm of my left hand right above my wrist that's like a strawberry mark. The last one is a small red mark on my hair part. My mother has a red mark on her part also. Weird...LOL!

hello.

im 25, currently in grad school to become an elementary school teacher. im looking for new people to read! :)

but you should know im not one of those people who updates everyday; things are going to be quite hectic once fall starts so just a fair warning. & i also don't comment excessively on peoples posts. so if you're a person who only keeps a person on their friends list based on the amount that person comments, please don't bother adding me.

anyways so about me

this is from my profile:

I'm a pretty low-key person; I enjoy reading, going out to movies, playing miniature golf, etc. Going to bars or lounges is also fun; but not too big on going to clubs. I'm NOT an outdoors-y person but going to parks/beaches to walk or hang out is something I like to do.
I love being at Disneyland( regardless of whether im there to go on rides, eat, or people watch) which is why I get an annual pass every year. Diet pepsi is my beverage of choice since coke/diet coke is too bitter and pepsi is too sweet. I'm picky but that's because I know what I like. I cannot live without my sidekick. I hate talking on the phone so my sidekick is awesome. I'm a planner--I need to know things ahead of time. I have my close friends and that means way more to me than having a million so-so friends. My friends and family make me the happiest. Rainy days make me happy too. Text messaging, taking pictures, and laughing = fun. I am oh so easily amused--I'll laugh at anything. I enjoy watching movies & buying movies. I love scary movies--it takes a lot to get me scared but those chucky movies (child's play etc)--those scare the hfhfh out of me because of the fact that its a doll who comes to life. If I dont sleep for at least 8 hrs, then I'll be grumpy. I absolutely love Johnny Depp. I watch everything on tv except for reality tv. Ray Romano is one of the funniest men alive; Ellen DeGeneres is THEE funniest woman alive. & that's all for now.

so if you would like to be added, just comment here or in my friends only lj entry. :)

Let's see: I am divorced, thirty-two and in love with a wonderful man. We have two cats, two computers, and one laptop. They are a lot like our children. We both work in customer service, and we now work for the same company. Again. I have just quit smoking. Again. I have "inappropriate" feelings for my washing machine. Recently, I shaved my head because I could. I am not really into "Fandom", I just watch and read what I want to. I don't get into most reality TV shows either, save for a few on the Discovery channel. I am not too picky about music. I love urban legends and ghost stories.

I post about: work, the weather, earthquakes, forest fires, funny things, sad things, odd things, going out, shopping, house keeping and the unusual dissapearance of certain items of clothing. All of my posts are either Work/Child/Parent/Pet Safe or they are labeled as Not Safe For Work/Kids/Pets/the Elderly etc. I read at work (I know, I am naughty) and I respect that others may also or that they may have children or others around or maybe they plain don't want to see something NSFW right at that second. I don't mind people who post things that are NSFW with or without a warning. I do have a variety of reading filters, so I may just not read your journal while I am at work. No biggy. Also, I try really really hard not to post about politics and to not make political beliefs an issue. Sometimes, I fail.

I value my friends. Though we may only be E-Friends, I try to treat everyone like I would want to be treated.

If you would like to be friends, please comment here (opens in new window).

Ok, I'm a strange case.  So, I figure I should give a warning.  I'm a 27 year old widow.  I post ALL THE TIME since I'm alone.  I feel it's extremely therapudic to post.  It's mostly been about him lately of course.  I'm trying to figure out what to do with myself, etc. Some of them are sad, I must admit.  I do seem to creep into the hearts of my readers, however.  ;-)  I love them all too.  I don't post about politics.  I do have some issues that are close to my heart though, such as healthcare and such.  Right now I'm on a leave from work, and I'm nervous about going back. 

So here's a quick summary about me:

Age: 27
Sex:  Female
Marital Status: Widow
Education:  Going back to college for Criminal Justice in the fall
Occupation:  Bank teller (bleh!), artist
Top Interests:  Music, true crime, art, musicals
Children:  None
Pets:  2 Budgies (they were my husband's, they don't like me too much)
Location:  Minnesota, USA
Life:  Weird...just weird
I like:  Introspective journals, and photos
Don't like:  Overly political journals and journals that are so depressing it makes my life look ideal, also if every other one of your posts mentions drug use, please don't add me.

Peace.

My name's Kandi. I'm 25 years old and I live in Anchorage, Alaska (born in Southern California).

I really am stuck in the middle between adulthood and being a kid. I love having fun. I love to nerd out, spaz out, be retarded, and just have fun. I am utterly addicted to laughter and humor. I'm constantly laughing at myself and at others. I love trying new things and adventures, but I love to relax and curl up on the couch with a good movie or book. I can honestly be your best friend or worst enemy. I treat my friends like royalty, but I hate being crossed. I've been called blunt, bitchy, too honest, emotionally reactive, trigger happy, and narcissistic...and I don't deny that what they say is true. It mostly stems from the fact that I hate ignorance, I hate bad information, &I correct people when I can.

♥ I'm studying Psychology & Justice at the University of Alaska.

♥ I don't want kids, never will, and don't want to get married.

♥ I live in communities like wtf_stupid , badmakeup , and beauty_101 .

♥ I have a myriad of conditions, one being social anxiety, so I use my LJ as one of my only means of human contact.

♥ I have the cutest cat that ever existed Belladonna (oh yeah, and a boyfriend lol)

♥ I go to a therapist and I'm not afraid to deny it.

♥ I buy too many designer purses.

♥ I’m hoping that one day I wont need a fake smile.

♥ I live by quotes that explain exactly what I am going through.

♥ I love the color pink & dancing in my underwear.

♥ I’m a mess & my room usually is too.

♥ I laugh at the stupidest things.

♥ I always say the wrong things at the wrong time.

♥ I cry for no reason & sometimes I get mad easily.

♥ I love the simple pleasure of the senses: the smell of cinnamon and herbs, intoxicating perfumes, emotional brooding melodies, angry paintings with a heart, the smell of roses and rain, and snow on my window sill.

♥ I would watch a good football or baseball game with a pitcher of beer and some hot wings any day over a “romantic” walk on the beach.

My journal consists of lots and lots of pictures and random posts about life, friends, Anchorage, homework, or weird random things that pop into my head. My journal is friend's locked mainly because I tend to post anything and everything and a lot of which the boyfriend or other people might not always appreciate. =P

For more about me, check out my friend's only post.

Note: many of my icons and posts are NSFW/NSFL. I feel that everyone on my list is old enough and mature enough to see these things. If you don't think you are, you probably shouldn't add me. Oh yeah... I have a potty mouth too.

Hello. I haven't put one of these things in here before, and feel like today's the day.

I would like some more friends who are over 25, and who are interesting, and interested in a variety of different topics.

* My name is Lynne
* I'm 27 (but can act like anything from five years old to fifty,)
* I am an underacheiver
* I work in a kitchen
* I have Borderline Personality Disorder, which has wrecked my life for at least the last ten years
* I am a 'recovering alcoholic' (not an AA member.)
* I'm a self-harmer
* I like all sorts of things, and tend to get obsessive over things for periods of anything up to two years. Several obsessions can run consecutively.
* My sense of humor is my saving grace, but it's gotten rather dark and twisted. I am not easily squicked.
* I like Stephen Fry, Doctor Who, Johnen Vasquez, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Red Dwarf, all kinds of music (but generally, the noisier and more demented, the better,) writing letters, badly written pornography, cats, dogs, wolves, and snakes, sushi, and lots of other stuff that would become hideously apparent if you were to look at my profile.

Um, I didn't mean for that to make me sound like such a berk. I'm actually very nice, despite all that.

Sooo..

The other day at work, I decorated a vanilla bean cheesecake to go in our pastry case and I thought I'd share it here... Please excuse the terrible quality of some of the pics, I took them on my camera phone!

Fools rush in - and get all the best seats.

Free time, which unexpectedly becomes available, will be wasted.

Learn from the mistakes of others, life isn't long enough to make them all by yourself.

If you rest, you rust.

A good marriage is like a casserole, only those involved actually know what goes into it.

Nothing seems to bring on an emergency as quickly as putting money aside in case of one.

Ah, to be a kid again. Skinned knees are easier to heal than broken hearts.

Keep your head in the clouds. You're the first to see the rain, and it's easier to see the silver lining.

Flying to London to New York by Concord, due to the time zones crossed, you can arrive 2 hours before you leave.

If the sun stopped shining suddenly, it would take eight minutes for people on earth to be aware of the fact.

If you add up the numbers 1-100 consecutively (1+2+3+4 etc...) the total is 5050.

More than 99.9% of all animal species that have ever lived on earth we extinct before the coming of man.

I'm trying to imagine you with a personality

Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize that you weren't asleep.

I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one.

There's no place 127.0.0.1

I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?

I'm supposed to back up my hard drive, but how do I put it into reverse?

You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.

Earth is full. Go home.

Is it time for your medication or mine?
