1. Basquash is still fabulous and everyone should watch it.

2. Did you know that fireworks in America were originally used to celebrate George III's birthday on June 4th? The practice was pushed back to July 4th to celebrate independence. Thanks, NYT!

3. Sora Kake Girl was also fabulous and most people should watch it.

4. French toast for dinner.

5. I'm a lazy bum who's accomplishing nothing this summer... and yet, somehow, this doesn't faze me at all.

I have a string of girlfriends getting married this summer, one after the other (the latest one is getting engaged tomorrow), while I'm still single. My summer is unproductive and frickin lonely.

I'm not feeling sorry for myself. Let's be lazy bums together.

I'm lonely, too, but I've given up on online dating. Everyone has loser beards and I hate loser beards more than I find being lonely to be a bit irritating.

Also, no marriages on my front (except the girl who got married right after high school), but almost all my close female high school friends are doing stuff in other places over the summer, and I just wanted to come home... where no one is. There are girls I vaguely know and will hang out with if it's a big group, but not people I feel comfortable asking to go see a movie with me or something. And I also feel awkward going out with guy friends if it's not in a big-ish group. So. That sucks. But I do like being home so I can't feel bad for myself.

Guys with facial hair who believe it's attractive <<;

I feel like the leftover kitty in the cardbox xD;

Getting my friends to go out is like pulling teeth. Given the choice between being the one to babysit everyone else, plan the party, and organize every little detail of the outing, and between curling with caramel tarts and watching DVDs, staying at home wins every time.

Also, must steal the caramel tart recipe from mom. It's like tiny squares of pure heaven that murder your waist, but you just can't stop eating the stuff.

Okay, those tarts sound amazing. I was just thinking of making sticky toffee pudding because I have a crazy craving, but then my dad decided that he was making scones... and there are only so many sweets we can have in the house.

AS FOR FACIAL HAIR yeah. I can see how a beard is okay. But guys with wispy beards, weirdly shaped beards, anything zero and a respectable half inch around the chin? Aaaah do not want.

I'm a bad party and get-together planner because I'm always worried that no one will show up. It's why I haven't thrown myself a birthday party since middle school!

I'll sweet talk mom into giving me her recipe. Incidentally, it turns out this dessert store has stolen/copied one of mom's famous chocolate crumbling biscuit recipes, and they're selling the stuff for $100 per kilo. Mom didn't bother going after them since they ended up copying the recipe so badly, the biscuit tasted horrid.

*nags her brothers to shave allll the time*

I'm a control freak and always like to be in charge, so people got too used to me arranging events for them. I'm kind of regretting it now.

That's ridiculously expensive! What sort of dessert store is it?

You know, to work at Disneyland, you have to be totally cleanshaven...

I'm too much of a tag-along!

[parfacy]

A luxury patisserie, I think. The price is ridiculous even for expensive shoppers.

You wouldn't want to scare small children.

I aspire to be a tag-along one day ;o; My friends are spoiled!
