yummy, a recipie

CHOCOLATE SUNDAE PIE
Seriously, try it. It is full of awesome.

INGREDIENTS
1 package of graham crackers
1/4 cup butter
4 cups(or scoops) of any flavour of ice cream
1/2 cup of nuts(any kind you want)
chocolate sauce
UTENSILS
big bowl
small bowl
large spoon
spatula
9 inch pie plate

1.Crush the graham crackers and put them into a bowl. Make sure there aren't any big pieces.
2. In a small bowl, melt the butter(or margarine, if you would like).
3. Pour the butter over the crushed graham crackers, and then mix it well. Use your hands to press the mixture in the bowl into the bottom of the pie plate. This is going to be your crust.
4. Put the pie plate into the freezer and keep in it there for about 15 minutes.
5. Take out your ice cream a few minutes before you take the pie crust back out, so it has some time to soften.
6. When the pie crust has chilled, remove it from the freezer, and scoop the ice cream over it. Use a spatula(or the back of a spoon) to smooth the ice cream over the pie. Hot water on the spatula will help.
7. Sprinkle the top of the chocolate sundae pie with the nuts and then add whatever you want on top. I really dislike cherries, but my dad does, so I'd put cherries on this if he was going to have some.
8. Put it back into the freezer and freeze it until it is firm. Then, put chocolate sauce on top(make it look cool!) and then SERVE!

YAY!

i feel infinite

Shmanks, Emmerz.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
The unknown. And forgetting or being forgotten. And heights. And I also don't feel comfortable around birds.

WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT STATE OF MIND?
Calm.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OCCUPATION?
Performing, reading, editing and filming a video, singing along to music(alone or with people), having a good conversation and making brownies.

WHAT HISTORICAL FIGURE DO YOU MOST IDENTIFY WITH?
Alice Walker? I don't know? Bette Midler?

WHICH LIVING PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE?
My friend's mother. She is a very wonderful person, and she always tries to put other people before herself. I can't pick just one for this question!

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FICTIONAL HERO?
Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Trio from Harry Potter, and..

WHO ARE YOUR REAL-LIFE HEROES?
My friends who show me that I can get through things, and my family who has been there for me since forever, and also J.K. Rowling, because her life story is so overwhelming, and it's a powerful story.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION?
My fifth Harry Potter book. A small painting that my Baba gave me. Tapes of me recording myself as a child.

WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU HAPPIEST?
I'll change this to When and Where ARE you happiest. At my friend Jenna's house, on stage, outside in the grass, anywhere that people I love are. And at a place with pasta salad that I call camp.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST OBVIOUS CHARACTERISTIC?
I can't pick! Really, I can't! Leave what you think in the comments!

WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE (HATE) IN YOURSELF?
Hmm. How I need to be right? Except, I sort of like that..

WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE IN OTHERS?
When people take EVERYTHING literally, and make comments when they aren't needed. And when people are immature at bad times. I also dislike when people misuse words, especially derogatory terms.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE?
Food? Haha, yeah.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE JOURNEY?
Everything.

WHAT DO YOU MOST DISLIKE ABOUT YOUR APPEARANCE?
The fact that i'm bony?

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE MOST OVER-RATED VIRTUE?
Interesting question. No idea.

ON WHAT OCCASION DO YOU LIE?
When I want something. HAHA just kidding. When I feel it's needed. Or to play a funny trick on someone.

WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES DO YOU MOST OVER-USE?
Lovely and Awesome.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I would give myself better piano skills, and make myself able to hit bass notes as well as soppy notes.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT?
Observing and taking things into account and using them for my life.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE?
England.

WHAT IS THE QUALITY YOU MOST ADMIRE IN A MAN?
Awkward-ness, maybe? I can't really think of one. OH! One who can be a friend.

WHAT IS THE QUALITY YOU MOST ADMIRE IN A WOMAN?
I don't know. Not being easy? Haha. Being able to show that they have depth, and that they are fine with showing all of their different sides and personalities.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN YOUR FRIENDS?
That we have each other's backs and sides. And even the front of us. Even the most important parts of us, and the least important parts. They accept me for who I am, the good and the bad. And we aren't all dramatic and serious all the time, fighting and such.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIE?
Without pain.

IF YOU WERE TO DIE AND COME BACK AS A PERSON OR AN ANIMAL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK IT WOULD BE?

A human. Hannah Montana's new co-star, anyone?

IF YOU COULD CHOOSE AN OBJECT TO COME BACK AS, WHAT WOULD YOU
CHOOSE?

A book. Secondhand stores would be so fun to live in.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO (WORDS YOU LIVE BY OR THAT MEAN A LOT TO YOU)?
"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

"Difference of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."

"It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

-J.K. Rowling

"Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back."

-John Green

"Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Like Sam said. Because it's okay to feel things. And be who you are about them."

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."

"If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me"

-Stephen Chbosky

WHO HAS BEEN THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON YOU?
Everyone around me.

try to remember everything

Today is November 6th 2008. It’s currently raining. I’m on the second storey and I can see the rain splattering casually on the windowpane. Did that sound poetic or what? I’m just joshing, it didn’t sound very poetic. It’s all based on opinion, I guess. I can see two light brown chimneys outside of the window. It makes me think of the winter holidays, and how I used to sit in front of the fireplace, being careful not to be hit by sparks or stare into the flames for too long at a time. I used to have this one red dress, and I loved it. It’s November 6th though, not December.
During math class today, after eating all of my food, like usual, I began to do my work. After doing a chunk of questions, I took out a new slice of paper(oh, that saying brings me back to grade 7) and began to draw a face. 15 minutes later, I had covered the entire front of the page. I wish I had a scanner so that I could show y’all, but the page is full of drawings of Harry Potter related things, speech bubbles and all. It’s quite a delight to see it, so I have kept it out of my binder all day.



I haven’t done a word of the day in two whole days! That is long for me. I was planning to have a different one every day for the whole year(or maybe just the whole school year, because I gave them to my friend P) but that didn’t happen. Whatever. There’s still ‘Hug of the Day’.
Check that out.
BYYYEEEERRRRRZZZZZZZZZZ!

i'm not old, i'm old school


Today is going to be a long day.
I love it.
I keep having weird mood swings.
I'm happy for a while, but then I'm the complete opposite of that.
I really don't know why.
Or, maybe I do.
Lalalalalalalalalalala,
Erin

I PROMISE that I am going to do that tagging game thing. I'm just busy(AKA I'm a noob).

One thing before I go and do my hair, do some math, do some guys(drawing..DUH)(i really don't need to, that just sounds funny), eat some food, and text or call this one guy who I like a lot:

BLOGGERS=AWESOME
AWESOME=ME
ME=YOU
YOU=CRAZY IN LOVE
CRAZY IN LOVE=BEYONCE
omg does that mean beyonce has a blog?!

Adios!
(I took spanish last year, so I'm just trying to show off and be cool and stuff like that.)
THE LOVELY:ERINMEAGAN

P.S. Everything isn't always your fault. It's mine too.

FEELING SPECIAL!

I've been tagged. FINALLY! Just kidding. I never thought I would be, I only thought that the good blogs were tagged. The lovely one who tagged me was Bev at http://a-bev-blog.blogspot.com/ AKA icarryyourheart, and thank you very much for doing so.
The Rules for this whole tagging shenanigan(does that even make sense?) are:

Mention the person who nominated you
list 6 unimportant things that make you happy
tag 5 blogs and state the rules on your blog
notify them with a comment on their blog that they have been tagged!

numero uno:
hugs

It's just one of those things that make people happy. Including myself. Although, my parents don't seem to think so. Hugs make me happy, even if I'm down.


numero dos:

the sansom window project
http://yourmessagehere.typepad.com/my_weblog/
click the link. I can't even describe how amazing it is! Well, maybe I could, but if you just click the link, you will know better than if I described it to you.



numero tres:
the weekenders


this show is epic. It has always been that show that I've seen almost every episode of. Besides Lizzie McGuire, that is. My friend J and I figured out that she would be Tish and I would be Tino. Of course.




numero cuatro:
finding new musical artists that I enjoy

numero cinco:
http://www.cakespy.com/


numero seis:
dictionaries

I am now going to tag:
http://modernmarie.blogspot.com/
http://monstersinminds.blogspot.com/
http://makelovewiththelightson.blogspot.com/
http://betterwithanaccent.blogspot.com/
http://i-am-haley.blogspot.com/
http://raindropstoday.blogspot.com/

Yay for being tagged!

PEACE.

wam drinks make you kinder


you confuse me sometimes.
That's a nice beginning to a post, isn't it?
I came home from babysitting not too long ago, and I watched two of the BEST MOVIES EVER! Well, kind of. It's all opinions, I guess. The movie that I watched with the girls was The Parent Trap. The one with Lindsay Lohan. I can recite plenty of the lines from the movie, and I just love it to pieces. After they were put to bed, I had a few hours to kill, so I watched Harriet the Spy. I brought it with me, planning ahead. THE VHS!


I have a song stuck in my head. It just keeps playing on repeat. It was okay the first time, but after about 67 times, I'm a bit sick of it. It's a good song though, Transylvania Mania from Young Frankenstein.


I've been doing some thinking lately(lately? What? Shouldn't I say I was thinking the other day? Because I'm always thinking. So that statement clearly doesn't work out in this situation), and
1-I want coloured skinny jeans
2-I think I'm going to order a dance picture this year
3-I need some HP merch.
That isn't all I was thinking about, of course. This school year has just started two months ago, and it already feels like a very long time. I have so much to look forward to, and my classes don't completely put me in rage..yet. Just kidding. Currently I am taking: Phys Ed, Pre Cal, Computer Multimedia, Geo, Choir, Vocal Jazz and Chamber Choir. I'm also in the school musical, and I was going to join the improv team(sorry) but I don't think I'm good enough to be on it yet, and besides, I have enough on my plate. I don't want improv overlapping anything, especially my carrot sticks.
It just feels like I'm so much older than before, and so much more mature. Well, not really, but I definetely feel like a changed person, in a way. I guess love does that to you. You know, I think I'm in love.






NOT.
Oh man. No way. Not yet. Maybe not ever, who knows? But, back to my topic. I think that I'm different somehow. Last year, we all wrote a letter to ourselves. We are going to get it back in our last year of high school at some point. The big thing about it is that we are supposed to forget about it, and get a happy suprise when we recive it. I can't really forget about it though. I remember writing in it that I probably won't have a boyfriend by grade 12. I also remember calling myself something funny..I just don't remember the exact term at the moment. Looking back, I wish I wrote better things. If I write it and keep it in my room, it won't be the same. I don't want to give it to anyone, I need to do one of those things where you can send an email and have a set date for it to be sent. That is a master plan. Almost as good as that one plan to write a musical..
I just realized that I have a practice tomorrow. Oh boy! I don't know if I'll be going. It is on the other side of the city, and I don't have a way of getting there, besides bus, of course. Hmm. I haven't been on twitter in a while. Sorry. Wait, why am I apologizing? No one reads this anyways. All of a sudden I feel very stupid. As if I'm talking to myself. As I type this, I am saying the words in my head, and they sound quite stupid to me. Rhombus. Haha, that sounded funny in my head...MOVING ON! I really don't have anything to say. Sorry, again..Check out the post below for the November playlist! Yay!
Time is making fools of us again,
Erin

You are really getting on my nerves. Not literally. That's a good thing. But you really need to fix yourself up before the next time you talk to me. I know you won't though.

You. If you want it so bad, go and DO IT. See where that gets you! *snicker*

So, Halloween was yesterday. I didn't go out, I saw a musical, and it was AMAZING. I dressed up as Penny Pingleton, wearing a plaid dress, glittery gold tights, flats, and curly pigtails. I actually wore eyeliner too! I never really bother. I woke up today and I had a craving to watch a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie. So I took out my old VHS movies and watched about 4. I have a lot of stuff of theirs. I really want to get their new book, Influence. How was your halloween?

I'm having Subway for dinner. I haven't had it in a while. What do you like on your sub? I like to have italian bread, turkey, mayo, sub sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and LOTS of pickles! I get the same thing every time.
photographs, photographs, photographs.
I want to take pictures of things outside, but I fear that it is too cold to lie in the grass.
