Itch

I'm getting an itch to start an inspiration blog. I don't know if it would be interesting to anyone other than me, but I like the idea. Yep.

So, if it happens, I'll let you know, one random reader who actually sees this.

Strawberry Key Lime Pie


Here's my version of the recipe:
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup lime juice (or 1/2 for a lightly tart taste)
graham cracker crust
1 cup thinly sliced strawberries
8 oz. cool whip or your own whipped cream
one tsp tequila

1. Pour sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks into a bowl and blend until combined.
2. Add in the lime juice while stirring until well mixed.
3. Pour 1/4 of the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
4. Layer 1/4 cup strawberries on top of mixture.
5. Repeat 3 and 4.
6. Add the rest of the mixture on top.
7. Bake on 300 for 15-25 minutes. (my oven takes longer on all recipes so it took 25 minutes, 15-20 is average for normal ovens)
8. Let cool, then chill for a few hours.
9. Add a tsp tequila to the whipped cream and top the pie with it.
10. Top each slice with the rest of the strawberry slices. (I made a sugar strawberry sauce by adding a little sugar to the strawberries and mixing.)

Makes a nice, tasty little pie with strawberries lining the bottom half. Mmmm!
ENJOY!

Update

Sorry, it's been a long time....
I've been doing a lot this past year. Right now, I'm on the set of the cheerleader movie I'm in. I play Natalia, a major jerkface. It's kind of fun playing someone not at all like you, but she does get to dance a lot. ;)

Check out the video we made last night. You're welcome.

The Nodder.

Ahhh yes...the token nodder. This goes out to all the people who are students. Do you know the nodder? The nodder is the person in class who is either really engaged in the topic or is trying to appear really engaged that they nod for minutes at a time. I'm not talking just a casual nod every now and then because those can be helpful. A quick nod every now and then lets the professor know "you're listening." I'm talking about the incessant nodders who rarely take breaks.

In college, I had one of these. I couldn't even listen to the professor because this girl kept nodding her head and I couldn't stop staring at her. Why was she nodding? And furthermore, is it necessary to make a "hmm" noise, lean forward, and put a serious look on your face? I think not. But think about it, have you seen this person? I would like personal anecdotes...

Peacockin'

I was talking to Nate last night, telling him about how I like to observe how people flirt with one another. Basically, they are "peacocking" or "trying to look better than they are". Women like to "chill with the boys". That in itself is not a bad thing, but watch what they do. They'll dress a little skimpy, grab a beer, sit back and act like nothing in the world could bother them. Then, a guy thinks, "Wow. She's so chill. I could hang out with her and drink beer all day." No worries guy. You'll get to hang out with her alright; however, once you're in a serious relationship, forget chilling and drinking beer. Just watch what happens when you bring a fattening 6-pack home from the store. Now, you're a pig for trying to make her fat. "What about the night we met?" you ask. Well, now you know, she's a "drink beer with the guys" girl. Go see what she drinks with her girlfriends.
Now on to the men...
The guys do the real "peacocking". Just ask them what they do for a living and listen to how they're "going somewhere". Yes, guys like to put on that they are going to be really successful and make tons of money. Guys simply like to be the money-makers and the providers so they'll try to sound like that's who they are. He'll slide his chair over and tell you all about his business ventures. Success is most certainly around the corner. It may get tiring to hear him talk all about himself, but some girl will get trapped into his magic. She'll go to his rap show, photography studio, premiere of whatever, business website, and probably find out that he's terrible at what he does. Too late, you're already in deep. Good luck with your man who's "going somewhere".

Stipulations of application:
*Applies mostly to desperate 20-somethings.
*Can apply to the ridiculously good-looking who are just as desperate sometimes.
*If a girl enters a beer-drinking contest to impress you, RUN!
*If a guy gives you a business card on your first meeting, flee FAST!

How do I know?
Obviously, this does not apply to everyone. However, you know these people. Don't even pretend like you don't. I have observed this from: sitting at restaurants, stories from friends, personal experience with the men part, working on movie sets, and just walking down the street.
So, beware out there!

Get a job!

Have you ever seen ridiculous comments people post in response to youtube videos or news stories online? I seriously think some people live their life, making it their job to write ridiculous/bitter messages online. They can say whatever they want because nobody can see them. It's sad really. I mean comments like, "OMG! She is soo ugly and nobody likes her. Her ears look big and her voice sux." (in response to some celebrity singer) Haha, so I made up that comment, but they really are that ridiculous sometimes. I just want to meet these people and ask them why they have problems with every video/story they see/read. The sad thing is, I think they are just personally insecure. That actually makes me feel sad for them. :( I hope they get a better job! Walk a dog! House sit! Do laundry! Hang out with friends! Live life! :)
