Cooking is Hard

November 25th, 2008, 10:51 pm

I’ve decided that I want to cook dinner instead of grabbing fast food, heating up some soup or slapping something together real quick. I’m decent at baking so I figured cooking shouldn’t be too bad. Boy was I wrong. Tonight after talking to my Mom I attempted to fry some chicken and make potatoes with gravy. I ruined the gravy and forgot to cook the peas I wanted to have with it. The chicken wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad. All that hard work for nothing. Cooking is nothing like baking. Too much can go wrong and you don’t get a sweet treat like I’m use to after baking.

I do make some simple casseroles which are good. If anyone has easy recipes that don’t make tons of food (it’s only for me) then I would love to have them. I’ll make brownies or cookies for you.

Pissed Off

September 9th, 2008, 11:56 pm

I am pissed off. I’m pissed off at myself for letting people walk all over me and I do nothing to stop it. People know they can do it and I let them. I pissed off at others for doing what they want with me. I’m pissed off at people who are mad at me for reasons I don’t understand. I say something that they themselves say atleast five times a day and they get offended. Yet everyone can make fun of me and I have to take it. I can’t sleep at night so I’m ornery all day. Everything frustrates me. All I can do is smile and laugh so I don’t freak out.

Behind all the anger I’m sad. Sad that people take advantage of me and walk all over me. Sad that I let people do it. Sad that some of the few friends I have don’t like me. Sad because I blame myself for everything.

Top Five

I’m obsessed with chick flicks. It’s true, sad, but true. People give me grief about it, but I don’t care. My name is Eric, and I’m addicted to girl movies. What of it?

My current top five favorites are:

  1. The Notebook
  2. How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
  3. Splash
  4. Terms of Endearment
  5. Beaches

On occasion I’ll rent a dick flick where things blow up just to keep the gay Blockbuster employee from hitting on me.

Four Words

I’ve uttered a total of four words today: it’s not Friday yet. It’s really all I can muster. I need my weekend.

I send myself mail

June 10th, 2008, 09:54 pm

Last week I wrote a letter to a friend who is currently on a mission for the LDS church. Today I checked my PO box for the first time in a while and there was my letter to my friend. I sat there looking at it puzzled as to why it was in my PO box. There wasn’t any stamp or sticker saying to send it back to the sender. After a minute or two I realized I switched the place of the addresses. I guess subconsciously I wanted to get a letter so I wrote one to myself. It certainly surprised me to receive it. Maybe next time I’ll write myself an email and save the 47 cents.
