I went to a dr. and he drank blood from my neck. Don't go see Dr. Acula!

I have to read Dracula for my "Readings in Literature" class this coming semester, so I thought I'd get a head start. The school book store listed it at around $4, so I went to Amazon.com instead! Dracula on kindle is the one I downloaded, and I also downloaded the kindle app on my netbook. I LOVE the kindle app!!!!
I'm about 18% into the novel, and that's right where they delve into Mina's life. So not too far into it. But I REALLY like it! Why have I never read Dracula before? They should of required it in high school...
I also started working at McDonald's recently. It's pretty fun there. All the people are pretty fly. Except for like one person. He erks my nerves. One lady yelled at me for calling her man "sweetie" when I handed them their food, cause he was the one closest to the window, y'know? Are people really that possesive? And on Monday night I met Santa. His license said Santa on it and he had a long white beard. He gave me a photo of him as Santa also. It was creepy and cute at the same time.
Dudes, I'm really hungry...
So I found out like five minutes ago that because I work at Micky D's I can get a discount with AT&T. Fuck. Yes.  iPhone here I come!
Hopefully I can manage that bill when school starts back up!

If your house was on fire and you could only grab three things, what would they be?

My external hard drive, my wallet, my keys, my cell phone, and my hamster. Wait. That's 5 things. Let's assume I already have my wallet and my cell phone on me!

WHAT?

Would you rather have the ability to fly, or the ability to breathe underwater?

Oh damn. Breathe underwater. I have never known how to swim and one of my biggest fears is drowning.

WHAT?

Summer Lovin'

So my two year anniversary with Anthony was on the 23rd of July! I got his gifts back in March and gave them to him early.



















The spatula I got was black. And I also got a wooden spoon set that had drumsticks on the handle. He decided he was going to make me a mint chocolate cake. However, this was the first cake he ever made from scratch....and it turned out extremely bitter. So we found another recipe and this time we made it together and it was very good =]

Oh the Woes of No Internet

Well, I've been hijacking someone's wifi since I moved into the apartment with my Boyfriend and his Cousin. I'm afraid to download my computer updates, or upload more vlogs for I dunno how much bandwidth this person has.
So I started the "Special K Challenge" on Monday.
Special K Cereal, Vanilla Almond, 14-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4)I have this for breakfast.
Special K Crackers, Italian Tomato & Herb, 8-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4)This for snacking
Special K Bars, Vanilla Crisp, 6-Count Bars (Pack of 12)as well as this
Special K Protein Shake, French Vanilla, 4-Count, 10 oz (Pack of 6)This to tide my hunger over (aka a meal replacement)
And then what ever I want for dinner.
So far I've lost 2lbs, and you're supposed to lose 6 by the end of week 2. So, I'm hoping this will help me lose all of the weight I gained during my freshman year. It's really bothering me. People can tell me "you're skinny!" or "you look fine" I don't want to look skinny, I want to BE skinny. I don't want to look fine, I want to look DAMN FINE!
Haha, I mean, I used to have a relatively flat tummy.

This was taken the summer of 2008, after I had lost about 25lbs.
But now I definitely have gained tummy weight, thigh, and butt weight. The only good weight has gone straight to my bust, those I'd like to keep in my weight loss XD
I had a horrible experience at JCPenny's the other day. I tried on a pair of skinny jeans in a size 11, and a pair of shorts from the same company (Arizona) in the same size. The shorts look absolutely wonderful on me (I bought those) and the jeans fit me everywhere except I couldn't button them at all. So, since their sizes run odd I  tried on a 13. They were definetly labeled wrong, for they wouldn't go over my behind, so, being kind, I took them to the cashier to tell her. I explained everything I just explained here, and she pointed to the word "skinny" and said "you know these are skinny jeans right?" Hmph. I felt insulted. I didn't buy those jeans. I did buy a pair of skinny jeans that were on clearance they were originally $50 and I got them for $20. They are very odd, they are stretchy jeans and have no zipper. I also got a scoop neck black shirt (I thought it was a v-neck when I bought it... cause it was folded in half) and a pair of orange shorts that are pattarned... and I can't describe them, I'll have to take photos.
I also went to Victoria's Secret and got bra sized and found out I've been wearing the wrong cup. Damn. So I comemorate the day I bought a bra on sale hahaha.
Then I went to Spencer's and mourned over the loss of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray with my friend Shannon who is the manager there. I also bought a Slipknot bill cap for my Boyfriend, cause he's a real maggot. Too bad that real maggot has a real big head, and I do believe I'll have to return it.
Okay I just took a photo of my new Arizona shorts and my City Streets scoop neck. Price: $27 together

Peace, Love, && Kisses,

Got My Hair Cut!

Okay so I did this last week, but it's like how I wanted basically. I got new shoes too =] Except I only paid $30 cause they were on sale.PUMA Women's Cell Yalix Sneaker,White/Silver/Green,6 M

I have finals this week!!! I'm so nervus, I need good grades in Chemistry!!! Damn book for next year is over $200 D:
I also have a job interview on Wednesday so, I hope that goes over well. I'm trying not to stress, and It's kind of not working.
My last days of living in the dorms are rushing by me so fast. Good-bye freshman year, I loved you.

I'm sitting at a bandparactice/jamsession... thing. I dunno where this is going. My heart is starting to go to the beat of the bass drum. Chillin out.

What was your most awkward moment in high school?

"I tripped up the stairs of the stage in front of most of the school on my birthday. But I got up and gave the crowd a big thumbs up and laughed it off!"

Funny story, hahaha.
So, it just happened to be my 16th birthday, you know, sweet sixteen and all that jazz, and a comedian couple came to my high school! So, I was all excited to go see them like "yes, this is such a great gift to me!!" And also, the boy that I had dated/still liked was working the tech-booth for the show.
So near the end of the show, he asked for volunteers, mind you, almost half the school was in the auditorium. I had never been picked as a volunteer when anything was on stage, and I decided that today, I would be.
Of course, his wife picked me.
So I'm all excited and I go up to the stage.
And I trip up the stairs.
Everyone was laughing, but I'm humble.
I got up, brushed my self off, gave a big thumbs up and a smile to the crowed and laughed it off!
I was then Marsha Brady in an act that he did, hahaha.

Oh, and the boy I liked at the time found it extremely funny also.


Peace, Love && Kisses

Ask me a question and you might be featured here!!

New Haircut?

I need a new hair cut. And a new straightener. And a new car. And a new camera. And new headphones.
I'm all for wanting right now aren't I?
But, for real, I need a new hair cut. All of my hair is basically one length and it has no shape. I've just got a frumpy look going on, and I need bangs again.

So, any ideas? My hair is really thick, wavy, and curly. It's longer in the front rather than the front, because of having my hair spike-able in the back before I grew it out. I kinda want swept bangs, I think they'll look good on me. I dunno. Thought?

CoughCough

So, I've been super sick with allergy problems over the last week and 2 days. I didn't get any actual medicine until this past Saturday, where I got the Walgreens brand of Mucinex called "Mucus Relief DM," and so far it is working wonders. The only problem is taking it every four hours or so, I wish it lasted at least 12 hours.
So, along with coughing up random slimy blobs, and coughing just for the sake of coughing, I haven't been feeling all to great during this last week. Yesterday my roommates thought I had a fever because I looked red in the face, but I realized today that my face has turned red due to standing out in the sun for almost two hours, waiting to have my caricature drawn. The guy was really nice, there were maybe 15 of us still waiting in line after 2:00PM, and that was when they stopped paying him. He still drew us, but only did them in black and white, I guess we had to pay for colour =].

But yeah, this month has been going along rather smoothly so far. I've had many tests and I haven't failed them, yet. I'm trying my hardest to get at least a C in chemistry. Maybe I'll surprise myself and get a B!
On a more sad note, a girl committed suicide at a dorm across the street from mine on Sunday night. They haven't told us why, but perhaps even they do not know. I hope her family is doing as well as can be expected. It was really touching last night, I attended the candle light vigil for her (though I did not know her) and almost a thousand people showed up and stood silently with candles in her name.
I think the Catholic church would be in uproar if she was Catholic. The suicides are tormented in hell for all eternity.

More Macarons!

Rainbows

It was raining slightly during the rally. A few raindrops landed on the lenses of my glasses, a few on my jacket and in my eyes (lenses only protect so much). All of this, and the rally kept going. Soon, the rainclouds parted and the sun shown through, the slight rain every now and then did not stop.

I looked for a rainbow and saw several. On the flags, posters, ribbons and even the hair of the attendees. The sky didn't have to show it's elegance, everyone has the same sky, everyone has the same insides. Let this show that everyone deserves equality.

As much as a rainbow in the sky would of pulled the whole thing together, it's okay.

My grandmother used to always tell me when I was a child that if the sun is shining while it is raining, the Devil is beating, or chasing, his wife.

I don't know where that stands in this. Just a bit of memory.

Peace, Love, & Kisses,

Loli Gurrrl

So on the last weekend in February we finally helped my boyfriend move into his new apartment. That was fun/interesting. The guy that he was replacing as the new roommate of said apartment didn’t leave until the last day of February. And he smoked a lot of….an illegal substance that shall remain nameless. It’s a very nice apartment minus the necessities (y’know, internet and cable. . . I’m kidding it isn’t necessary).

This weekend we went down to my home and picked up my DVD case so he can store so many more DVDs than anyone should have. He takes up like four of the shelves, which holds 24 DVDs a shelf. I take up a shelf and a half, and it’s not all of my DVDs. I also got a new coaaaat. It was shipped to my home address instead of my dorm so I had to go home to get that too. I like it a lot, it’s a little big in the shoulders and slightly itchy in the collar but I like it.

Anyways, no idea what to write. Midterms this week.

Peace, Love && Kisses

Breakfast

So this morning I told my boyfriend I was hungry, so we went downstairs and made breakfast.

Or, rather, I made breakfast, and he just asked me to make him what he wanted. He dicided that he wanted "biscuits" and gravy, but really it was toast and gravy. So he used the left over gravy from the fridge, just heated it up in the microwave.

I made myself an over-easy egg, then he wanted a sunny side up, so I made him one also. I made it just how my Mum had always told me, use vegetable oil in the pan, and then put the egg in it without breaking the yoke, and then use the hot oil and a spoon to pour on the top and cook the top of the egg. Makes sunny side up without breaking it!!

Then I wanted baccon, so I made six pieces (three for me, and three for him) and I can tell you, the bacon was perfectly crispy! I've never made bacon so well! (I used the same pan, with the same vegetable oil from earlier)

Then... He decided he didn't have enough gravy on his toast, so since I had just made bacon, he wanted some gravy.

I've never made gravy, as much of a country girl that I am, I don't even like gravy!

So we Googled how to make brown gravy on his crackblackberry.

Bacon grease

2 tbsp of flour

1 cup of water

Lots of pepper

Pan on high heat, mix slowly and then simmer on low until thick enough.

According to him, it was delicious! And my egg, bacon, and toast sandwich was too.

There is nothing better in the world than an over-easy, or sunny side up egg where the yoke is still runny and it gets all over your plate! (That's what the toast is for ;-])

Food Wrangler!

Okay, so my current obsession of photography is of Macarons! I've never had one, but these little cookie things are just gorgeous in photos. I wanted to share some of them:

The last photo here of the "Minty Macs" is by a woman named Kaitlin, and after browsing through her gallery on deviantArt.com, I have found that she may be the same age as me, but she has far surpassed me in food photography. Which is my favorite thing to photograph. Her photography is showing very much promise for a wonderfully (paid) food wrangler in the future.

Here are some of her work, and each photo (just like the above ones) link back to their source.

I hope to see more photos to come from her! Here is also a link to her blog: http://whisk-kid.blogspot.com/

I feel like I have ranted enough about the beauty of Macarons (among other things).

Peace, Love, and Kisses,

Caroline

A New Start

So, it would seem that I decided to start a new blog. It's not like I don't already have...1..2...8+ blogs. Dang.

Well then! Let us see, I think I'll start with a little bit about me and my life.

My real and true name is Caroline Sheets (pronounced Care-o-line), but I have been called Mimi Dawn, or just Mimi for about 8 years now. I'm 18 currently, but I'll be 19 in 19 days, which I did not realize the irony of the numbers until I counted the days just now. I feel wise beyond my years some days, however.

I'm currently a student of the college of humanity and sciences at my university. I'm majoring in Forensic Biology, but I'm contemplating minoring in Latin and Roman Studies. And no, I do not speak Latin (well, rather, read and write it) I can (read and write) speak French. Kinda. I did take 3 semesters of it in high school.

Well I'm currently looking for a culinary school, for my boyfriend. It's getting kind of hard to do since he hasn't been in school for going on three years and has never taken an S.A.T.

If anyone reading this has any tips, help? =]

Peace, Love, and Kisses

Caroline
