Wow, the hail was freakin' awesome today!!! xD  It was seriously the FIRST time i ever saw hail!!  Haha.  It was so cool.  So I was in yearbook n all of a sudden it started pouring like we've never seen before n all of a sudden, someone was like, OMG HAIL!!! Then like everyone rushed to the door n there was a like a serious doorjam for awhile.  I got out n I was like, WHOOOAAAA.....n see like tiny lil' bead-like ice.  It's so freakin' awesome.  It reminds me of....snow!  These kinds of things don't happen in Cali!!!  I sure wish it did more often.  Afterward wen it calmed down, me n Jean walked around the halls a lil' n looked at the prettyful scenery. 

Yah, that was like the highlight of my day =)

11. Mai room...has glow-in-the-dark stars all over the walls =)
12. Speaking of glow-in-the-dark stars, I love looking up at the night sky looking at stars.  Too bad you don't get the opportunity where I'm at. *city lights r evil*  Man, I miss that one night back in 7th grade where me n mai family were outside at 3 in the morning staring at the sky because it was the meteor shower.
13. I have an irrational fear of the number 13...therefore I will skip this one
14. I've been to a real club before.  It was on a cruise over the summer n it was pretty cool.  It's so easy to meet people once ur on a roll.  Just go up to someone, introduce urself, n u've jess met someone! o.O
15. I love pho.  I mean, I *really* love pho.  I've had it for lunch/dinner every single weekend since junior year started.  *mutters*Amy n Sara introduced it to me n now I'm utterly hooked.  Actually, I absolutely love love love LOVE any kind of noodles, as long as it's not that spicy n it's not fried. I love any soup noodle. I mean, c'mon, noodles are just...GOOD.

Signs That You Have a Healthy Obsession With My Chemical Romance. :)
[there is no number one]
2. You own both CD's. Yep.
3. You have seen EVERY music video including the one's that aren't on TV and even the animated one. HOLY CRAP...HOW DID YOU KNOW???  YES EVEN THE ANIMATED ONE TOO.
4. You put pictures of the band on your school binders and in your locker. Eh, not on my locker, but definitely some on my binder. XD
5. Your AIM icon is and will always support My Chemical Romance. Not really...
6. Your desktop wallpaper is MCR themed. Naw...it's jess a cool picture of Yuna. (FFX)
7. You check their website everyday. Eh, not really.  Try maybe once every week or two weeks.
8. You hate MTV for making My Chemical Romance mainstream. Yes!  Before, I used to want them on the top of the TRL countdown, but now I kinda want them off cuz stupid people think that they're MCR fans cuz they only know Helena through MTV n they're all like, "We're fans!  We're fans!" 
9. You go onto other bands' fan sites and start talking about My Chemical Romance. Ehh...don't go to other fan band sites. 
10. You refuse to go out with anyone who disapproves of My Chemical Romance. Naw, not really....there's barely anyone that I know of that worships MCR like I do...let alone, even know them. o.O 
11. You constantly defend any member who has been mocked by a peer or elder. Eh, no one really dissed them yet - cuz they'd know I get maaad XD
12. You know more about My Chemical Romance than you know about your friends. Depends on which friends.
13. You consistently find yourself quoting the members. Lol, sometimes.
14. You play croquet in honor of the band. lol.
15. You own almost all of My Chemical Romance's tour merchandise. Naw..
16. You convince yourself that the members are your "friends." Holy shit, u read my mind....again...
17. It upsets you when you see rows of Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge cds open for just anyone to buy. Huh?
18. You try to hide each and every one of these cds displayed at Target in places that only you know where they are. WHAT???  THEY SELL THEIR CD'S NOW AT TARGET????  WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO????? 
19. You've bought/read-without-buying every magazine article My Chemical Romance has been in. Even if they only say one thing. Ah, I haven't even found them in a magazine yet, but if they are, I'll definitely read it. XD
20. You consider being a vegetarian or you join the PETA2 group just because My Chemical Romance supports it. Eh, I wouldn't go that far...plus, that's just copying them...

22. You sing the words, but still don't know what they mean. Lol, yah.

27. You think people who do not already know about My Chemical Romance, do not deserve to ever be glorified with the greatness that is My Chemical Romance. NO THEY DO NOT. People who found out about them through TRL do not deserve them because they do and will only like that one song and STILL call themselves 'fans.' >:| Ahhhh!   [I agree too.]
28. You deny people who attempt to add you to their friend list on Myspace when they have the following bands: Simple Plan, My Chemical Romance, Usher, Good Charlotte, Linkin Park. No one with that list ever tried to add me before, so I wouldn't know....

32. You tag random items with the words, "MCR OWNS YOU." Lol..

34. You have e-mailed one of the guys at least twice. Nope.
35. You have created a website dedicated to the band. Sorry. I'm too lazy.  [same here]

45. It is forbidden that you burn any one of My Chemical Romance cds. For this is no way of putting money into any members' pocket but rather stealing from My Chemical Romance. Aww...sux for me...didn't buy the cd's cuz mai friend introduced me to them by sending me all their songs...I'm guilty....:(

53. You're actually happy for the guys when they have girlfriends instead of plotting for another girlfriend in a coma. I don't get this one....
52. you plan to run away to Jersey. HAHA I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY! :) New Jersey has NEVER seen better days!!  [the person that answered this is lucky....]

56. You take an hour or more out of your time just to vote for them. Yes....
57. You go in any chatroom you can find and scream, "MCR owns you!" That's what I wrote on my hand. I tell that to my sister's friends. They think I'm "weird." I think they are just not informed enough.  [The person that answered this isn't weird at all...the person's awesome!!!]

63. You explain to small children why you shouldn't shoplift. (You know you get it. Track 4.) Lemme see...track 4 is You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison....eh, that makes sense. 
64. You sneak into the office of your school and "play their jams on the scope." Lol...

66. You ditch school the next day because you're too tired after driving three hours to LA to go see My Chemical Romance at the House of Blues.  Naw....
67. You tell your parents that when you get older you’re going to be a mortician. What's a mortician?
68. Everyone is convinced that you are a vampire. No....
69. You want a red corvette with the license plate KNIVES just so you can get it before Gerard does. Eh, it's alrite, he can have it...
70. You've seen My Chemical Romance play a show at least once each month. And when you miss one, you set up pictures on your bedroom floor, blast their music, and imagine that you're there. Wishing wishing wishing.

This is for mai junior (now senior friend Phim. ^^;;)

1. I like that you're always upbeat, positive and optimistic. Despite the fact that many people hate Koyfman's class, n Gardener's, you love it!  You overlook the amount of work they give and look on the bright side and see the good and fun in the teachers in the classes.  Go you~!  :) 
2. I think an icon of a library book and/or a happy face cuz I almost always see you in the library and you always greet me with a really big smile no matter what! :) 
3. 3:00 cuz that's usually when i see you.  Hehe.
4. mega-smart!
5. Pretty much anything that happened in the library, like wen Danica made u a card, n had to hide it from u, n u gave me a really REALLY weird expression cuz I kept laughing for no reason. That was hilarious cuz u seriously had no clue.  ^^;;
6. Animal?  Maybe a dog, cuz ur upbeat n the loyal type. ^^;;
7. You're wondering how I still have energy after all the school stress??  I'm wondering how *you* balance everything out and everything seems to still be okay!  Haha.  I mean, c'mon, honors classes, CALC, n a job at the library for at least a few hours a day.  Man!  I could never do that! 
8. Put this in your journal. [U already did, haha.]

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

       Summer's pretty great so far. ^^;;  On Wednesday, I went to the beach with Chrissy, Jennifer, n Siu-Ling.  First, we played Cranium cuz supposedly we wanted to wait until it was warm n I made a sand mermaid.  [Maaan I wanted to take a picture of it n post it here so maybe u guys can like get a pic of ur friend's face n photoshop it so that u can see how it loox like if u were to bury ur friend in the sand n give em a mermaid body.]  I *could've*, but a little kid came by n ruined it.   N that little kid was Siu-ling. -.-  Apparently, he accidentally smashed one boob while we were playing Cranium, n afterward, wen Chrissy n I went boogie-boarding, he figured since he ruined one part, he might as well mess up the rest. -.- 

       Speaking of boogie-boarding, the waves were *not* good, not at all.  It was high-tide.  N for a second-timer, that's not good.  [Even Jen Nguyen said that the waves weren't good for her either.]  Chrissy n I went out boogie-boarding, n our fun got cut short.  I, for one, scraped my knee a little on the lil' rocks in the sand on the shore, n Chrissy  told meeh that she fell on her stomach n sides n that it hurt.  Not to mention that I fell underwater a few times. ^^;; 

       Next time, I'm bringing a first aid kit!  ^^;;  Don't worry, my tiny lil' knee scrape wasn't bad *at all*, but if you think about it, salt water, in contact with a cut, oOhz yes, it hurts.  I kno alot of u might be out for the beach, so here's some tips if ur a beginner like me.

» bring a first aid kit.  [Okay, maybe some bandaids n cottonballs n distilled water is good enough.] 

» go earlier in the day as in before 3 or 4 pm.  The later in the day it is, the higher the tide is.

» this isn't boogie-boarding related, but if u bring out any food to the beach, make sure you HIDE IT.  Lol.  I jess remembered something hilarious.  Before we played Cranium, Jen n Siu-ling bought lunch n had leftovers.  What happened was, the leftover was a hamburger in a normal plastic box, n apparently, a seagull was able to smell it, n actually OPENED it.  Yes, the seagull used its beak, to poke it, n he was able to open it.  Then, we saw it take the hamburger out, n swallowed parts of the hamburger like the lettuce in one bite.  Who knew that the seagull was smart *and* had a big mouth. o.O  So much for was was to be Christina's food. ^^;;

    Well, those are my beach tips for now. ^^;;

        As for today, I baked cream puffs - or at least attempted to.  Jess in case if ur ever feeling bored or wanna bake, here's the recipe I used:

CREAM PUFFS

 

1 cup water

1 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

4 eggs

 

Place butter and water in saucepan and bring to a quick boil. As soon as the mixture comes to a boil, add the sifted bread flour all at once, lower flame and with spoon stir vigorously for 2 or 3 minutes, until mixture leaves sides of pan. Remove the pan [yes, seriously, remove from the pan from the fire first!  ^^;;]  from the heat and then add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy. Drop mixture by tablespoons, 3 inches apart, on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in hot oven 450-F for 10 minutes, then at 400-F for 25 minutes. Cream Puffs should be puffed high and golden-brown. Remove to wire cake rack. Cool, cut in halves and fill.

 

CREAM FILLING

 

2 cups milk

3/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 egg yolks

 

Warm milk, add sugar which has been mixed with the flour, beat egg yolks and add to the milk and cook until it coats the spoon. Cool and beat occasionally to prevent crust. Add vanilla

        Maaan it took meeh three hours for this.  Lol.  I'm such a dork.  For the bread part, I had to do it twice cuz I screwed up.  You know how you have to put the ingredients in a saucepan while cooking first?  Well, let's jess say I accidentally missed the part where it says "remove pan from heat"  and *then* add eggs.  And so, for my first try, my dough had scrambled eggs all over. -.-  I'm soo smart.  XD  SO I had to start over.  Apparently, I messed up again, cuz there's one part in there that says drop the mixture by tablespoons.  The thing is, mai mom did not want to buy the lil' chain of spoons [ones where it has the actual measure of tablespoon, 1/4 tbsp., etc.], n wat I estimated to be a tablespoon was alot more than wat it was.  SO after it was in the oven, I took it out, n they were REALLY HUGE.  lol.  They remind me of those breads that you'd buy at J.J. Bakery.  XD

      As for the cream part, it did *not* work for me - at all.  For the first part, I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but apparently, when I was to cook it, somewhere along the way, the eggs in the "cream" started scrambling. O_O  Afterward, I took it out, n it looked like egg tart either that or it looked like scrambled egg soup.  Ewww.....  >_<  [That is SO not cream!]  I think what happened was that I didn't warm the milk, [so WARM the milk, even though ur gonna cook it anyway, if ur doing this, guys]  n I *think* [I don't remember, but]  I put 1 tbsp. of flour instead of 3.  ^^;;  [Yes, I kno, I'm a dork. XD]

       So I tried again, n followed literally everything on the recipe.  When I was cooking/stirring it on the stove, I really thought it was gonna be cream puff cream cuz no eggs started to scramble n it did actually look creamy.  The thing was, that the cream looked weird.  It was not white, n when I test-tasted it, it tasted like Chinese New Year cake!  wtf! o.O  It was even the *color* of Chinese New Year cake, lol.  [I think I found the secret recipe n I'll give it to u guys if u want it lol.]  I have no idea how that happened.  The only thing that I could've *possibly* done out of the recipe was that I hadta refrigerate it for awhile cuz I hadta go out to eat w/ mai family n I couldn't possibly leave it out for the milk to spoil. 

      Anyone a lil' more professional cook wanna explain to me how these phenomenons occur?  *cough*MELISSA*cough*  Lol.  *looks at her with puppy dog eyes*

      In the end, I gave up on the cream and stuck whip cream in "cream puff."  The cream puffs actually tasted pretty good.  I actually liked that they were pretty huge and gigantic, lol.  [I wish I could show u a pic, but no can do w/ a digi cam out of batteries n no program on mai computer to read the memory disc. :/ ]

      Anyhoo, this is Jennifer and her horrifyingly terrible baking.  Haha.  What will she bake next?  What kind of stupid mistakes will she make?  What kind of *magnificent* tips will she give?  Tune in next week, here on channel - uh, scratch that, on my xanga.  XD 

    So long and goodnight~! :)
