food that goes good together

I don't know about you, but carbs go really well with cheese! Like macaroni and cheese. Grilled cheese. Rice and cheese. Nachos and cheese. Potatos and cheese. All carbs are just amazing with cheese.

Another thing I've noticed is that sweets go really well with salty stuff. French fries dipped in vanilla ice-cream. Chocolate covered pretzels. Chips and m-n-m's. It's all just so good.

I just had to share some fun, random, useless observations about food!

How I Feel

So, those of you who are wondering, this is how I feel about Canada (also, so I don't have to get asked this all of the time!):

When I first heard that we might be moving to Canada, I got really psyched. I thought 'This will be awesome I can start a whole new reputation, have a great place to practice my french, and live in a whole new city. An actual city. With beaches. It'll be such a change, a good change, I love change!'

Then my mom started telling me all about the place and how diverse and artsy it is, all the cool people, places, and things (and ideas, I guess)!!! Nova Scotia, New Scotland, that means hot scottish guys with hot scottish accents.

But whenever I would tell someone that I might be moving (again) they would get really sad, or angry, and wouldn't let me tell them how cool it was. I guess I didn't realize how much my friends would miss me. I guess I didn't realize how much I would miss them.

I'm kind of freaking myself out because I haven't really cried about this yet. I mean I can think about it long and hard but I just can't bring myself to tears. I did listen to the song "Leaving On A Jet Plane" and get a little choked up, but that's it! My very wise friend, Palendrome, said I probably haven't cried yet because I'm not physically saying goodbye to everyone. I know that when I do have to, especially to individuals I've known since pre-school (or dated), I will be bawling my eyes out!!

I am still really looking forward to moving though, my family talks about it all the time so I guess it has sunk in already. Still doesn't feel like three months away though. The crappy part is that we have to list everything we're taking, every little crumb. And that we won't even get to see the house before we move into it. Oh well...

So, to sum up, I'm still excited out of my pants to go, but it will kill me to leave the people here!

about as creative as a brick can get

The first day of Art class, teacher places a brick on the table and says to make a good size list of the many uses of a brick... and be creative!

-emery board -table leg lifter
-paper weight -anchor
-pestle -coaster
-mortar -weapon
-hammer -skillet
-paint palette -sign
-clothes iron -sharpener
-digger -door stop
-pendulum

I labeled my paper 'Creative Brick' and it stuck with me.

Then I started a book about my random trains-of-thoughts, it was called Creative Brick. Some of the chapters were Personality, Door, Water Jugs, Indian Food, and Judging People. There's more where that comes from, and I'll probably just convert it into my blog posts!...
