Blanket Fortress

I'm 18.
I'm in College.
But I still love blanket forts.
Over the summer me and Sydney made a fort with Joshua and my Cousin and played N64 in it untill 2 or so. My mother was not amused, but it was one of my favourite memories of the year.

I can't find my other blanket fort pictures...

Instead of cleaning, or studying or going out with friends, I made a blanket fort. I haev the day off on Tuesdays, so I didn't skip class. It's the first  Second blanket fort I've made in this apartment. Compared to the one I've made before, this is a blanket fortress, and could easily fit three people comfortably. Only disadvantage is I can't see my TV when I'm in the fort. So Then I can't play kinect or anything on my xbox.

It didn't take me very long to make. I had plenty of blankets to use for the roof and walls and bedding on the inside. I just with I had more chairs or something to make my fort stay up better.

Tyler so would have been down with this

Tybalt also enjoyed this a little too much

 And then there's Tybalt. Poor Fort Golden was ambushed by Tybalt the Tyrant. It was constantly under siege and was heavily armed with sharp claws and chaos. There were a few times where he tried to run acorss the top, or pull down a sheet. Luckily I had my trusty squirt bottle to deter him, sometimes.

>:C

 Soon after, my friend Arkady showed up, with offerings of Sushi in order to allow him into my fort. *sigh* Reluctantly I let him in. And many citizens in Fort Golden were happy as sushi was had. We drew and talked about anime and I showed him all my art and stuff.

It was a pretty good time, I must say.

So, Fort Golden is torn down for the night, in fears of Tybalt some how starting a fire with it. Cause you never know with this cat... Lol!

Hope you enjoyed it, and those readers with kids, or those that are still young enough to get away with it, should make one, and jsut hang out for the day with your family or boyfriend or good friends.

even though it sounds stupid, it's still fun to do. :)

Food (Fail) Blog

So, since I've been living on my own, I've been attempting to fend for myself for Dinner.

The past few days I've been eating a lot of sushi and chicken and ... Icecream sandwhiches. 

But we can blame my dad for the ice cream. He told me to buy it.

The other night I had some friends over, we were going to make some mug brownies. And you can just buy regular old brownie mix and pour it into mugs and put it in the microwave.

As long as you do it right.

I was missing vegetable oil for this mix. I asked my friend if she had any, cause it only called for 1/4 cup. She had sunflower oil and we decided that would work as a substitute. 

OH MY, NO!

...I had a brownie on fire in my microwave. Really! It was only in there 2 1/2 minutes. (this also isn't the first time I've had something catch on fire in my microwave in under 3 minutes)

After a few more messy attempts, and realizing after the third mug, I gave up and decided it wasn't my error, it was the sunflower oil.

My lesson learned. Vegetable oil =/= Sunflower oil

 As for Sushi, I've been going with my friend K, Who might start a blog soon, to a few different places. We usually hit up See-Q Sushi, they have a really nice bento box, but the other night I showed her Hoi's Sushi Buffet.
$20 for all you can eat of the entire menu. This includes things like soup, dumplings, sushi, sashimi, and even a steak cut up so you can eat it with chopsticks! Only catch is if you leave food on your plate you're paying for it. Helps keep waste down. The only bad thing we came across was the Philadelphia Rolls. They used baked salmon and cream cheese. And BOY were those really rich.

So what does my tyrant Tybalt eat?

Certainly he doesn't eat human food, or drink tea..

He eats Spot's Stew with hot water added to it. And he's gotten so much bigger since I've had him. He's got so much energy I really don't know what to do with him. He's picked up the habit of actually bouncing off the walls.  I promise to get video. Really, I can't believe he does it.

Not only is Spot's Stew holistic, it's also endorsed by Ellen Degeneres. Why that would make a difference? I don't know. But I love Ellen anyways.

As for tea; I've been drinking it like a fiend. just getting over being sick, so I take in all I can get.

Anybody have any realllly simple cooking recipes I could use to make something for dinner/lunch/breakfast?

I've been cooking these chicken breasts I've got. And been doing pretty well with it. So maybe I could attempt something new.

Hope you enjoyed reading it.
