Today was...long. I went over to Nicole's and had gingerbread pancakes and a Talk. I wish I knew a better way to tell my friends when I think they need to face and be proactive about their issues. I don't like making my points so painful, but my experience has been that I didn't heed my friends' advice and warnings until they said something that got me angry and made me really consider their point of view. Those of you who've helped me grow: I thank you.
We had a whole ham, pineapple bake, and asparagus for dinner, which was absolutely delicious.
The family went to see The Tourist, which I came away from with no strong opinions whatsoever. I was sleepy the entire movie, though, so maybe that's part of it.
After arriving home, I improvised on the themes of a variety of video game songs on the piano. Favorite songs of the evening included Terra's theme from Final Fantasy 6, and Guardia's Millenial Fair from Chrono Trigger.
Then I made some science cookies, inspired by Not So Humble Pie">Not So Humble Pie:
Beakers, test tubes, a ring stand and wire guaze, and a petri dish
Chromosomes!
An Erlenmeyer flask, and something that's supposed to be a test tube rack
Another shot of the lot
And one Raphael. I managed to smear red frosting everywhere with the toothpick I was using to apply it about, so there are stains all over his face. OH WELL.
