Bull Run's Battle

So as I was baking today, I realized that it resembles the history of racial tensions and integration, etc.
Think about it, first you add the eggs, sugars, and butters together in one bowl. Then in another bowl, you put together the (usually) white ingredients such as flour, baking powder/soda, salt and so on and so forth (and sometimes cinnamon or nutmeg.) As I was mixing the eggs with the rest of the wet ingredients I thought about it all.
I don't mean to defend myself in any way at all, but you know how white people are judged as those people that don't really know or understand other cultures/styles of life and that they live happily ever after because they are "pure." Bullshit! If anything, the white people are the most ostracized because many different peoples decide to find a common enemy and then history happens.
Well, the eggs wouldn't mix. Not until all of the dry ingredients were mixed in. I beat those eggs in as well as I thought I could, but they were still the little liquid chilling in the bowl separate from the other ingredients. And when I put the oats, flour, baking powder, etc. in, I had to mix for a long time. It's like... the first time you try to mix it all together it isn't going to work and you just have to wait longer. And when you try the batter, you can still taste all of the different ingredients, but put together they are so much better.

Can't anyone agree with me?

Breakfast = Breaking Fast

I made pancakes this morning... they were so heavy and filling. I feel sick from eating them blegh!

I aspire to make the perfect pancakes someday!

Happy Mother's Pie Day!

Today, in celebration of Mother's Day, I made a pie, because, after all, what more can describe my mom and my relationship better than pie?
The answer is nothing!

So I decided to experiment. And I made my very FIRST custard pie all by myself. And let me tell you something, it is one stressful pie to make at time. It has a very liquidy inside when you put it in the pan and it fills the pie shell to the brim, so naturally, being the klutz that I am, I spilled some in the heated oven.

See how liquidy that is? ---->


This is what I had to put in the oven! Ahhh!


I had to clean the oven. Grr! But after all of that worrisome business, I got the pie in without too much damage. 20 minutes later, I had to spin it around so that both sides got the same amount of cook-ness (wow...) 20 minutes LATER, and it comes out semi-beautifully!

Ta-daah!

This is a proud moment. I am very excited for myself. This is like the first time I made the Lemon-Merengue Pie (you remember THAT, right?). I feel succesful. Who cares if it doesn't taste great? I'm not much of a flan fan myself, but knowing that I made it by myself, I will enjoy it. And I know my mom will too!

Excerpt from my Diary

Well, Friday morning is the day. My father leaves, and all three of us will be leaving this house for the last time (alltogether that is) at 4:45 am.

I could not bear going to bed the earlier night knowing that that would be the last time that I would see my father. I have to see him off. It's just a thing inside of me.

My dad finished (basically) packing today, which is great! He's not a big fan of packing... okay I'm just gonna be honest and say that he despises packing; it's just one of his enemies (then again, who enjoys packing, really...) so it's good that he got it done today. After all, he does only have two full days left in this household.
It's difficult to explain how I feel about my father leaving. I know it's the best thing for my mom, but I don't know... it would be nice to have a dad around. But I know my mother wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Don't get me wrong, they do love each other, but can love each other better at smaller doses. Say, four months?
So I know that is how it is going to be until I get into a college (if I ever DO get into a college), and I'll just have to bear with it for another 2 to 3 years.

And I know that about a month before my dad comes back from Argentina, my mom and I won't be able to stand each other. We will fight and scream and then my dad will come home and it will seem like everything has been solved.

Well, well, well,

Cody told me about some drama that I had not known which did include me.

Oh well... I'm fine with it now...

But I am going to make some pasta today and NO I don't mean putting some in hot water and boiling it. I mean really MAKING the pasta and whatnot, THEN making the sauce.
All. From. Scratch.

I'll be meeting up with Joyce in a little bit, then we'll meet up with Maddie Russell and go to Dante's House.

Jack and Tobi will be there; Bailey will meet us there later.

Ooo... my mom just informed me that we will be having MEAT for dinner. Yum!

Well, done for now! Off to vlog!

Two New Videos!

I put up two new videos on YouTube!

Papa Was a Rodeo:



Killing Me Softly:

Sad Story

(not about me but based on a true story.)

Media Night 2009.

Boy tries to get at girl. Girl is dating someone and says no.
Then girl and boy get together. They date for a couple months. They lose their virginity to each other. Boy proposes. Girl says yes... in the future, but is still a little afraid.
Girl breaks up with boy because of different reason.
Boy 2 comes along. Girl and boy 2 fuck. A lot.
Boy 1 still is in love with Girl. Tries to get her back repeatedly. Twice a week. Every time, Girl says no. Boy 1 knows about Boy 2.

Senior Thesis 2010.

Boy tries to get girl back again. Girl, of course, says no. This time, Boy 1 gets really sad and depressed. Girl 2 (bystander) also gets depressed from this. Girl 2 cries out of sympathy for Boy 1.

Girl 2 gives Girl 1 a talk. Girl 1 says Girl 2 is a good person, but she wants to continue screwing Boy 2.

Girl 2 gets even sadder...

This is a story about Boy 1 and Girl 1.
And it may be sad enough for everyone.

Theatre Kids...

I'm pretty tired of this thing...

I'm just trying to not be one of those people who sticks only with their secluded group.
I want to integrate... within disciplines haha...

So... I've been hanging out with other people which is good. I miss my friends.

Yeee

Just got back from an amazing party! Got close to some people... it was hella chill...



Love all of you <3 <3 <3

I don't think you...

understand how freaking adorable this song is!!!

Jason Castro: YEEEEE




He is also quite beautiful:



He be workin' them light eyes and dreads! Yummy!
Too bad he's taken...

With Or Without You

So I just learned how to play this song. I am totally psyched... I'll post it up tonight if I have time to record. :)
Oh... and if you don't know the song, check my last post. That'll keep you updated.
I should work on my final Beloved project.

Off to work!

----------UPDATE-------------

I put a video on youtube! It's REALLY blurry... but too bad!

Nice Mix I heard

I absolutely love U2! Once I heard them singing in the park, so I told my mom that we should walk over there. We listened to U2 live for about an hour and a half...



This song is pretty catchy... I'm lovin' it!



There are some songs that when you hear on the radio, you just want to stop time. This is one of mine.

Another one of those songs is this one:



Unfortunately, 100 Years is never on the radio. But it is just beautiful! I missed it...

Urban Dictionary -- Mimi Nicole

So I decided to look up my name on UrbanDictionary... Folco has not been defined yet. Here are the top ones for my name...

Jessie... you'll enjoy this:

	mimi
	1.a small asian that likes to tell stories with no point. Sound familiar? nicole awesome person that is often imitated but never duplicated. Nicole is so godly that I adore her.

Look up your name and post on your own blog! :)

My Momma

Well, it seems almost obvious that I should write an Ode to my mother...
But I am not in the mood haha so maybe I'll just explain my happiness...

I told her about Christ yesterday and she just... AHHH she just acted like a teenager and everything. She is so awesome!

Then I told her about this other guy today who (apparently) was flirting with me. By the way... she thinks he is AWESOME and she really wants me to like him and she thinks that he likes me...
She said that if he asked me out, then I should definitely say yes.

My mom is so cool. I'm glad I get to be so honest to her. She is basically almost my best friend. And I'm not even embarrassed.

Have to memorize a monologue tonight! That is my deadline... I gotta do it!

Zucchini Bread

I just made some great Zucchini Bread... yeah yeah I know it SOUNDS disgusting, but it's actually really amazing! I love it! Last time I made it, it was such a surprising flavor... very sweet though...



I love my body! Just happy... even if boys are confusing my "simple ass" as Kid CuDi would say.

Walker would be proud.

I love life when I blog here. I don't care if other people find this boring.

I love my friends, however few they may be.
I know who my real friends aren't right now. I don't need to know who ARE my real friends yet...



People who exclude: suck it!

Oh... and Brian, Giuseppe, and I went to a basketball game tonight... 'twas fun-ish!

Evan Doherty

The boy's got balls... good thing too.


Still feeling a little queasy... I'll need to drink a lot of water tonight and hopefully feel better come the morning.

I had a ridiculously good time last night!

Hold Contentness in Your Contempt

Just happy right now. I watched (500) Days of Summer...


AMAZING ending: Hi, I'm Autumn. Hell yeah, you are!

I love the soundtrack; getting it now. Also downloaded Kanye West and Mika albums. Just happy right now...


I don't care about what happens with Christ. If nothing happens, I know we'll remain friends.

I'm happy. :)

Great Day...

I completely forgot about my issues with Christ (the latest boy code) today and just enjoyed the day.

After Phedre (by the way, it makes a great nap time!), half of the Int. Ones went to Jack in the Box. Yes... I ate fast food. AHHH! I usually only eat In N' Out or Mels... or somewhere else. I don't remember. But Mels isn't really a fast food place... it's a cute American restaurant. Yay!
Picture time!
Good:


Ew:



Anyways, after eating a taco, many fries and a bite out of Cody's burger (which Jeremy gracefully paid for, of course! Oh... by the way the whole "special meal" included one drink, two tacos, fries and a burger... UNDER four dollars...), Harriet, Sergio, Michelle, Jeremy, Kimberly, Scotty, Annie, and I went to Westfield where I yearned for a bigass pretzel... instead my good ol' eating friend Harriet bought a Big Cookie Cake Slice from the Mrs. Fields cookie stand. Beautiful! Then Scotty bought and shared a Monster drink... while we were buying that at Hagen Daaz place, Sha'Kara arrived! Awesome! Then Annie Michelle and Jasmine (who just appeared randomly!) left so that left the six (?) of us... we went to the park by the Loews Theatre.

I'm British at this point...


CUTEST LITTLE BOY called Tame... lovely little boy. Just a delight!

Anyways, we all then (besides Scotty who took Bart home!) jumped (literally) into Bill's car. By the way, Bill is Cody's dad... I don't know why this is so detailed.

Anyways, today was hella fun. And I got mostly everyone to be British today. It was great!


I wonder is british people to American accents... I hope so. Otherwise I feel really stupid. NOT.

So that was my day.
It was cool.


NOW for my other blog's posting!


Lovely lovely love,
Mimi
