Oh my gosh, I think I'm in shock. This is amazing, and Susan's turning into as much as a badass as Caspian, of course at the same time that Caspian's going all lovey dovey :)
Good job!

Puts hurricane parties I used to go to to shame. I asked why they didn't have a keg - "Because Grampy would try to do a keg stand. His doctor says it's a bad idea for his hip..."

I wonder why despite the fact that I can make it all myself, I don't? Oh that's right... I'd have to have most of the ingredients shipped here *sighs*
Though I will say this for Edmonton - there is a lone place I can go to eat and get Southern food... Luisan Purchase. It's not bad, but its massively toned down for these Yanks.

Oh well I can make it.. it's just extra fuckin' strong take your hair off all your body strong Liptons tea. With sugar. Lots and LOTS AND LOTS of sugar. YOu make a gallon of the tea, and you put in 2 cups sugar. I shit you not. I used to make it when working in a resturante. That's what we did. That's also what Publix does in their deli.

And dear god, yes, I had clocked a few 100hr weeks. And I know its not legal. But few ppl understand what the culinary world's really like. It's why there's so many addicts and 'holics. Only thing to do on your time off, and the only way to cope for many.
And then I went to school for programming, and had to take a few humanities courses. Decided I liked psychology better. Now I'm done with school - and what do I do? Nothing with that education... except apply it to my 'real' job - which is writing... Uni's nice and all that, good experience, good to learn - definately not as important as so many snots think. Trade schools are just as valid, and often earn double or tripple the pay. I mean do you know how much a crane worker can make? 80k-180k depending on the city, the worksite, the experience... My mum's a prof, and she freakin' makes 57k. White collar, ( ... )
