Merry Christmas!
I really, really should update LJ more often. That will probably be my new year's resolution :). Between dA and tumblr and fb, I just don't feel like redocumenting everything I do all over again, it's too much work (LJ is no longer my art-upload site, but I am so attached to it (to my f-list at least) that I feel like I should give it more love... writing-wise. Who knows, I have a few story ideas I feel like I could test out here).
I made an apple pie today! I don't have pictures but it was my first time making it and it turned out pretty fantastic. I also made dango with a sweet-soy-sauce-brown-sugar coating (my brother and I tried dango while we were visiting Osaka Castle, Japan this summer and it had this delicious soy sauce-based coating, so I tried to imitate that), and almond jelly. Yeah... overload of dessert. My brother and I cooked a Chinese-style Christmas dinner this year so my parents/grandparents could take a break; it was really nice.
To note (these will be random and off the top of my head and not at all in order of importance):
- thanks to a certain friend, I am now getting into the Inception fandom... on a lurker basis only, though, since I feel like it's the sort of fandom that gets old really quickly (because really, what more is there to build on? The film is already so intricate), unlike Hetalia.
- need to work way harder in school if I'm planning on applying to med school. An internship or job would be nice.
- this winter I went on my first cruise with the family to Ensenada, Mexico, where the only thing I really remember is the delicious salsa.
- I love Harold and Kumar. Like, a lot.
- I should hang out more with people while I still can.
- Need to get into Dr. Who since I keep hearing about it (I only put it off because it's such a long-running show and I have no idea where I should begin, with the new series or a few seasons before or does it even matter, what?
- sleep at a normal person time so I don't get sleep paralysis any more than necessary (it happened twice this quarter but that's hardly surprising, with how many all-nighters I pulled)
- start reading a lot more right NOW instead of just running on my elementary-middle-high school bookworm knowledge
UM I guess I have new years' resolutions sort of tied in there? ;) really too lazy to sort it all out haha. On that note, I probably will not update again till after school starts, so have a great holiday, those of you who actually read this.
