i didn't do anything for halloween. alwin and peggy were NANA! omg so cute! alwin's hair was a little long though. lol. but still!!! it was soooo cute and lovely! i love NANA!!!!!!! SOOO MUCH!!!!!
aaahhhhh i want to cosplay NANA again so much, but.. i like my hair long for now! and i HATE NANA cosplayers who wear wigs, because it does not look good at all. but if i cosplay NANA again, i'll need to find another ren, and make another group, because i love groups! but.. maybe i'll just do it by myself. people always tell me that i'm the best NANA ever- i got stopped on the street twice because of that, and one of my friends saw a NANA movie poster and thought that mika nakashima was me o___o...
yaaaa.... sooo.... training today was from 10 to 1. annnndddd it was inside. and it was ok. apparently we had to pass training in order to work for the organization. that was so lame. i passed. durrrhurrr. me cans do anything :3
so... basically my goal now is to push people to sign up and get as many as i can (the company requirement is 3 sign ups a day) butt.. 3 signups a day only gets me $80 extra dollars added onto my paycheck. that is not a lot at all, but... if i were to get 3 signups a day every day i worked......
base pay is $70,
+$80 performance bonus
= $160 a day
x 3 days a week
=520(- taxes, which i will not calculate.)
but.. HOLY CRAP! that's more than i USED to get paid! in only 3 days!!!
and if i can get more than 3 sign ups a day? the 4th sign up is another $80 bonus!!!
so... i TOTALLY need to make people sponsor children. then i will be smooth sailing and comfortable until i find a "real" job.
but... if i enjoy this, i'll definitely be sticking around big time!
ummmmmmmm there's nothing to post about... except for the fact that LJ isn't working. ya. i think i'll go look for more recipes.
noms.
i actually had another dream last night! but this time i don't remember because i went to bed at 2AM ( ̄∩ ̄#
i do not do late night phone calls, but... if someone i haven't talked to in a long time calls, i have to talk to them.
i want a burrito.
my butt hurts from sitting in this hard chair.
my mom isn't around so that means i can watch youtube videos! *bounce*
uggghhghghhgh other than that i am totally, 100% BORED!
finding a job should NOT be this frustrating!!!!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HOW CAN I NOT EVEN GET A WAITRESSING JOB? I HAVE 6, ALMOST 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE! HOW CAN SOMEONE *NOT* WANT TO HIRE ME??
I'M ASIAN! ヾ(。`Д´。)ノ
OH MY GOD.
annndddd being told by people, "oh don't worry, it takes a lot of people about 6 months to find a job" DOES NOT HELP. i don't have the money to stay sitting at home doing absolutely nothing for 6 months!
GUUUHHHH.
i need to go to the dentist on monday, then depending on how i'm feeling, i'll go to school on tuesday or wednesday and pick up my transcripts, which is going to cost me $$$$$ (TωT)
i'm looking for recipes online! i found some similar to some things that my mom makes, only because i'm too stubborn to ask my mom for her recipes. (-з-)
there are some things i definitely want to try :3
i founnnndddddddd a spaghetti carbonara recipe, since i want to eat that again, but the recipe seems scary, so i might hold off until i have something to do instead of sitting at home all day with no excercise!
but i got some nifty ones ☆

How to make Matcha Roll Cake ---For 1 cake (size: 30cm x 30cm roll pan)
Ingredients:
Cake:
3 eggs
90g sugar
75g all purpose flour
3 teaspoons (6g) Matcha
2 tablespoons hot milk
Filling:
150cc heavy cream
1 teaspoon Matcha
1 tablespoon sugar
(Preparation)
Sift flour and Matcha together 2 times.
Preheat the oven to 200C (400F).
Line the roll pan with wax paper.
(How to make)
1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Cover the bottom of the bowl with hot water until the dough becomes about the same temperature as the human body – approximately 37C (98F).
2. Remove the bowl from the hot water and continue beating for 3 to 5 minutes until small stiff peaks form in the dough.
3. Add the flour and Matcha mixture by lightly sprinkling it into the bowl, then fold it into the dough with a rubber spatula.
4. Add hot milk and fold again with the rubber spatula. (Don't mix too much!)
5. Pour into the roll pan and tap it on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
6. Bake at 200C (400F) for 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool.
7. After the cake has completely cooled, remove the wax paper from the cake.
8. To make the filling: in a large bowl beat heavy cream and sugar with an electric mixer until it is stiff. Then add the Matcha and mix well.
9. Spread the Matcha whipped cream on a roll cake and roll. 10. Wrap the cake in wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes.
This recipe makes about 6 slices of Matcha Roll Cake

maybe some Okonomiyaki would be good too...

i also want to make green tea cupcakes!
while sniffing around for new recipes to try, i found these sponges! they're so cute!!! i want them (*^▽^*)
it looks like everyone i know is getting married. ok, not everyone. but i just found out today that another two of my friends are engaged. wtf. like.. i know my parents got married when they were like, 20-ish, but waited another 3 years to do have a kid (me) and they look at me like, "so......" and i'm like, "LOL NO."
but..... WEIRDDDDDDD.
so i don't know :O i mean... if i were ever to have a kid whenever i want, the time would be now while i'm young and less dying than if i was, say, 10 years older. but still weird.
all i do nowadays is sit at home in front of the computer, eating lasagna. ughghghhhhhhhh I NEED SOMETHING TO DO! SOME FORM OF INCOME!!!!!
my phone bill this month is $136! (T▽T;)
agaggaggaggaaaaggggagagagahhhhhhh...........
i didn't go over my texts this month, so that's cool. but.. i went over my minutes! GRRRRR. and it's all from calling people to try and get things together about my boss! calling the labor department, calling byron, andrew, etc! ugh! especially with people overseas calling me... TERRIBLE!!!!! how am i going to pay for this this time? (T_T)
i only have... about $700 left in my checking account. (´д`lll)
but.. i have about the same in my other account! (i think.....)
then.. i think i have 100+ in my third account..... i hope.... ack.
which means i'll have to draw from my primary savings whenever i need money now.
my primary checking will only be for when my bills come.
my.... third account will stay untouched, because that account is primarily for spending on ebay.
ughhhh whyyyyy (x_x;)
cutting spending---- i even held back on buying babybell cheese yesterday. i miss eating it. i haven't had it for 3-4 years?
and i bought the shredded mozerella i used in my lasagna on sale yesterday.. don't know if that was even much of a sale- $1.88 a bag?
now i have a dentist's appointment on monday. pain.. and money 。゚(T^T)゚。
and.. every time i have a job interview in the city, i know i'll be eating out, so that's money as well. and the bus tickets i need to buy to get in and out of the city.....
i know the next time i'm in the city i'll want a waffle and ice cream... as well as lunch, of course. i can't go without eating or else i get really sick...
i need to go get my tattoo done... well... i don't *need* to have it done, but.. i would like to.. i have money set aside especially for that.... almost. i need about $50 more so i can cover erik's tip... then that will be fine...
anddd the deal was that if i can't find a job by december, i'll need to go back to school........ (ノ_-。)
that was a stupid deal.
ughhhh i really, really don't feel like schooooollll...
for the past few nights, i've been remembering my dreams. i never remember my dreams. the last time i remembered my dreams was because i had to for a school psychology project. seriously wtf. -__-;
the night before, it was about some crazy dude who kidnapped hot chicks and cut one of thier legs off so they couldn't run away so they'd stay with him forever. and he ran an underground prison. it was so WTF.
another dream i had was about some girls in a house, having a party and they were looking for something and one of them opened a drawer and the drawer was filled with lube o_o and i was randomly standing there and some girl was like, "THIS IS WHAT YOU USE. DON'T USE ANYTHING ELSE" while pointing to a bottle of KY. and i said "i personally think eros works better." .......................... ( ̄ー ̄;)
what the crap...
WHYYYYYYY.
then in a dream last night, i figured out why non-virgins don't date virgins, or why they always have such a hard when dating a virgin :O
i woke up and i was like, "OMG! I GET IT NOW. WOOOOWWWWWWWWWW"then promptly went back to bed.
i thought of all the people i know, all the stories i've heard about the non-virgin making a break for it the minute s/he found out that the partner was a virgin. it worked the other way too, where they stayed because they liked taking people's virginities. but either way it's sad.
but i get it. which is.. weird.
yeah... in other news, i can recognize more katakana than i could before, and some hiragana :D
i can write my name in katanana now! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
ジャニス <---- seeeeeee? :DD

because i'm just one of those people who always have something to talk about, however stupid it may be.
my parents are complaining that i'm on the computer too often, which is true. i have no job! what else am i supposed to do with my days? i think i will set a day aside to bake some nummy foods though! maybe some creamy chicken lasagna! :9
i think i'll do that the day after tomorrow, or tomorrow night!
