Everyone, repeat after me:

Happy Birthday Yukiko!

I'm still alive, just so everyone knows. Haven't found a new job yet. Need to look more determinedly. Especially since my boss's latest thing to do at the morning meeting is threaten us all with being fired. Because the store isn't perfect. Plant pots are being mistaken for dishware. OMG. The horror. Clearly this is a cause for firing someone, because this couldn't possibly have been an honest mistake. Just someone too lazy to do their job.

Which explains why "Mom" saw her kicking merchandise out of her way. Which isn't lazy at all, nor does it cost the store money on damages. Seriously, talk about ridiculous!

( I've been achy and tired alot too, which doesn't help )

Anyhoo, I'll post something more positive next time. Until then - Zaijian!

Meet me on the other side of forever.
Wait for me on the other side of the mirror.
I have some things that I must do.
But I will make it there.

And we will do all the things
We always said we'd do.
I know destiny must understand
This is only the beginning of me and you.

For Gaston (1994-2009). Even fourteen and a half years wasn't long enough. Love you always.

The poem is mine. I wrote it for Gaston. Please don't take it.

For the main body of my FL - Hey, I'm still alive!

For those of you who actually are interested in my pathetic life, click on the cut below.

( Work Rant )

Okay, rant over - for now.

Forgot to finish the story. The third cake was just right. She took a sample into work, and everyone loved it! And so she made the wedding cake for the co-worker, and was told it was fantastic! When a second co-worker asked about making a wedding cake for a son, the first said she'd definately recommend her! ^-^

("Wheee!")

But she didn't get that job.

("Aw....")

Still, Meimei is very happy about the end of this tale and hopes to tell another similar story soon.

("The End!")

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Meimei. And she loved to decorate cakes. One day, a co-worker of Meimei's asked if she would make her wedding cake. Meimei excitedly agreed.

("Wheeee!")

So Meimei set about making the cake. The first cake was too soft. It fell apart!

("Oh noz!")

So Meimei decided to try another recipe. She got one from crazymamasan. But Meimei overfilled the pan. So the second cake spilled over the pan and started a fire in the oven.

("Oh noz!")

How did the third cake turn out? You'll have to wait and see...

I passed my six month review. Yay. Atleast I get a raise, right?

By the way. I'm still alive.

LOL Did I neglect this journal much? Been pretty busy with stuff. Work. Switching Apartments. Catching up on bills. Playing Cake Mania. And Diner Dash. Plus SpaceQuest. Not to mention Legoland.

Hehe...um...ya. Okay. Hi everyone!

I got to indulge my inner geekdom this past weekend at Saboten Con!

I had a blast! I managed to finish my Kendappa costume. (Um...though I did have to stay up until 3:30 am the day of the con to do it...) I wish I'd managed to make her harp, though because everyone kept asking me if I was Belldandy. *sigh*

I also entered the AMV contest, and entered my BJD Didi into the BJD Fashion Show. I didn't win anything, but Didi did! LOL More on that here.

( Okay, here's my run down on my likes and dislikes of the con )

Okay, I'll post pics of me in my Kendappa costume later, as well as a link to my AMV.

Peanutopolis \pE-nut-a-pu-lis\ (noun) a state of mind making you feel very strong and powerful, almost mayor-like.


This is what I get for trying a different candybar and reading the wrapper? I think I'll go back to Three Muskateers now.

Still busy with work. Still no cake classes. Never seem to have time anymore. I did update wojiantianshi!

I've been super-duper busy lately, with working at my new job and all. Did I mention it's full time? Huzzah! Even if it's Jewelry again, and not Culinary, I'm not overly disappointed right now. Not with it being full time, and a pretty relaxed place to work. Not being very stressful is definately a good thing. And I've gotten several compliments on how I set up the cases. So that's awesome.

I don't have much else to report right now. I haven't gotten things worked out with my cake classes yet. I hope to get that taken care of soon - this weekend maybe? I'll have to see.

( So why were these on your list? )

Saw this on kynolef's journal and decided to try it myself. But I've been a bit busy, so it took me awhile to put together a montage. Finally did it though.

Rules!

1. Pick fifteen random films or films you
like or all the movies you have ever seen
ever if they total less than fifteen.

2. Find images for these films. Google is
very curious about your taste in films.

3. Make a numbered montage of these images
in your editing program of choice. If this
is something other than Photoshop, that's
fine -- this is a don't ask, don't tell meme.

4. Post this to your LJ and hope someone
cares enough to guess. Cut tags are entirely
optional. You may tell your friends to complain
to me instead since I said it was okay.

5. Post the answers when you feel like it.

( 15 Movies You've Probably Never Seen )

Something I found out while doing this search:

Aside from my taste in musicals, it seems to be public concensus that I have the worst taste in movies around. It was extremely hard to find pictures for this of the movies I wanted. Half the pictures I did find were on review sites dissing them. Hmph. Whatever. I love them anyhoo.

Hey, everyone!

I've got lots of good news. I've got a job, for starters - YAY! I'm back in regular retail again, nothing food related - which is a drag in a way. But it pays alot better than my work at the ice cream store did, and it's a job. Right now, that pretty important, ne?

I'm also returning to my teaching. Yours truly is now a WMI (That's Wilton Method Instructor for the uniformed) again. I know I complained alot toward the end of my teaching days because of the way my accounts were behaving. But this is a brand new store, with brand new people. So hopefully things will be better. Besides, I had some good times as a WMI too. Let's not forget:

Behold, the Power of Cake

Behold the Power of Cake - Part 2

To commisurate, I mean commemorate this occasion (J/K! I'm really happy at the idea of teaching again) I've updated the Edible Arts section of my website! I've still got lots of pictures to add, but I've added a bunch already, and revamped the look to something simpler. I might exchange the words for banners, since it might be a little too simple. Still, I'm mainly pleased at having added so many new pictures, so, please go take a look!

Edible Arts

So, I put in a bunch of apps, and I've gotten one whole interview. No news yet on what came of it either. Someone shoot me.

I'm really frustrated by all this. Second year in a row I've gotten so sick I've had to leave my job. Last year I was stuck in bed for nearly two months. Not as bad this time, strangely enough considering this time I went to the hospital and last year it was only the doctor's office, so I'm twice as frustrated over having no job. I have plenty of experience, so will they just friggin call me?

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
