(no subject)
I always say that there is nothing to write about because nothing is happening, but in fact my life is constantly happening XD I mean, it's not that there is something extraordinary going on, and it would probably be boring for an observer, but I find my life exciting enough XDD Like, for instance, I went to buy me a new belt and some clothes-pegs today, that's something new that I didn't do yesterday, so that was a thing that was happening, and therefore it is somewhat exciting... Lol, I'm not sure I understand it so well myself what I'm trying to say here XD
I have been trying my hand at baking lately. It was somewhat inspired by the show Great British Bake Off. I stumbled upon it somehow and watched a couple of episodes online. Not all of them are available, of course, but it was still interesting to watch. But it makes one so hungry D:
Anyhow, last week I made this kiwi cake overbaked with mascarpone:

And today I attempted to make a marble cake, but I had no cocoa, so I used chocolate, and baked it too long, so the cake came out too dry, but at least it's still edible:

In other news, I have started rereading Lord of the Rings. Before internet, I used to read it every summer, but then I got addicted to internet, but now I slowly realise that the internet will still be there, and it's not like anyone will take it away from me, so it's fine if I don't go online immediately after I come home from work, but it's ok to read a book or something for an hour.
The book is still good as ever. I can't help but be sorry for the world we live in, we really have lost the innocent view on life and childish pleasures, like singing simply because we feel happy... Characters in the book do that sometimes, and I just go 'but how are they not embarrassed to do that, there are people around!' XDD
Haven't watched any anime but Chihayafuru this week (if there has to be romance in there, let it be with Taichi and Chihaya, Arata is way too cool for this romantic silliness), might have to catch up on the new episodes tomorrow.
Oh, talking about romance, remember that dude I mentioned, who is not quite my boyfriend? XD Well, he still isn't. We haven't seen each other for about 2 weeks now, I don't care, he doesn't care, and that basically sums up all the relationship that we have. For instance, he mentioned he went to the cinema to see the new Iron Man and then to see the new Star Trek. And he never even asked whether I wanted to come too :/ Normally, you would ask your girlfriend, wouldn't you? Well, since we are not really dating, he didn't. We meet up sometimes, fool around a bit, have a cup of tea afterwards, chat about anime and go our separate ways XD
It is a sensible arrangement that should keep any rational person satisfied, I suppose. But somehow, I'm not that satisfied. The guy is not really necessary in my life. If we broke up right now (if that is even a good word for people who are not really dating in the first place), I would not be too upset. I would probably be sorry about what could have been if I had made more of an effort and if he had made more of an effort. But I would get over it, since I have always been alone, and it's easier to go back to familiar way of life rather than try to make a relationship work.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I wish there was somebody I cared about enough to try and make an effort, and that this somebody cared about me too... Every time I read fanfics or something, and there are people in love I just get sad that I don't feel about anyone that way and nobody feels about me that way... Or I get angry at the author for writing things that don't happen irl XDD Because really, does love work that way, people lose all rational thinking and are just 'doki-doki' all the time? And the sex thing, do people really get so crazy about it, because I could do without it... Ok then, maybe I don't particularly want that kind of relationship after all, then - I am proud of being a rational person XD
