It's quite early in the morning, and I forgot to do my calculus this weekend (which doesn't detract from my ongoing awareness that it says you+me=us) and grew tired of the problem I was attempting -failingly. So while browsing around my typical sites, I came across this and gave it a read through. I can say with the utmost honesty that I cannot convey my thoughts in words without coming across as a pompous jackass. Every original word on this bastard gives the impression that I think I'm the king of the world. The funny thing is that it is not only unintentional, but the complete opposite of what I am going for (not to mention who I am). I'm starting to believe that my company may have began rubbing off on me and that this is the result -at any rate, I certainly understand now why a lot of people have had the impression that I have my own head so far up my own ass. Really, I don't hold myself very high at all. Certainly not as high as my writing seems to make it seem. My first thought is to delete this whole blog, but maybe I'd be better off trying to keep writing, but with some sense of perspective. Jesus, I really hope I don't sound like this in person.
So I was sick of doing homework and decided to cook a real meal. What follows is sort
of an altered recipe I've known for a while. It turned out very well and requires only an hour
at most, it is also very cheap.
Mix:*
~5 tablespoons softened butter
~2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
~1 teaspoon oregano
a pinch of kosher salt
a few pinches ground black pepper
*All seasonings are to taste, I personally like mine heavily seasoned.
A little crushed red pepper may have been a good addition.
Cut a two inch slit in each chicken breast, season with kosher salt and pepper,
and stuff with ~ 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture.
Heat ~1/4" of olive oil in large pan (ideally cast iron) over medium high heat.
Add chicken breasts and cook for 8-9 minutes or until golden brown. Flip
and cover, cook for another 9-10 minutes. Depending on the stove I would
say you may need to slightly vary the cooking time or, alternatively, move
from the burner immediately into a pre-heated (I'm thinking 375 degrees)
oven until desired doneness.
Serve with pan drippings and/or leftover butter and whatever side(s) you like.
Bon Apetite

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

"This is the ghost of everyday assumptions which declares that the ultimate purpose of life, which is to keep alive, is impossible, but that this is the ultimate purpose of life anyway, so that the great minds struggle to cure diseases so that people may live longer, but only madmen ask why. One lives longer so that he may live longer. There is no other purpose. This is what the ghost says."

I guess stress won't even be the word at the moment. I finally found a perky way to make sure my dumb mood prevents the sadist sketches I was doing lately. I kept thinking about cupcakes. Yea, my love for cupcakes is AMAZING!
Here's a preview of the rough perky sketch. In other words, it looks kinda satanic in a sweet way.
I
wasn't too sure if I wanted to upload an incomplete work but I thought
I should. At least people knows what the fuck I've been doing and not
talking to anyone lately.
I'm sorry if I've not been in the mood to socialize with anyone lately. I'm just having a real tough time at the moment.
How well does your name Google? Who are you up against? (Celebrities, etc.)

With my entire full name Eilla Sikén, 2 pages with 27 listing and the first 26 are all mine. Woohoo!! It pays to have a weird name.
This work thing is going too slow and it's starting to piss me off. I think the depression is hitting on me again or something. Creativity block is just what I need right now. NOT! I need to start all over again or just flush this one down the toilet and continue with school. I think the school break is long enough and I should really start again. I'm looking in for Marine Biology and Aquaculture. I'm not too sure if I could do it. It's pissing me off that there's no freaking school that could teach me basic Biology.
The whole entire week was kind of depressing. I've not drawn anything for 2 freaking weeks. GGRRR!! Ok, now I'm upset. I have to kick my butt into gear and draw again. Here's an unfinished sketch I did today.
Oh, I found the Japanese version of Powerpuff Girls. It's funny and a lot cuter, I must say. I'm gonna keep a lookout for the entire series or something. :lol: Oh no, the obsessive behavior again.
It looks like LJ has been improving a lot. I'm kind of impressed with the whole new features and the 3 available available accounts to choose from. Not too sure if it's really a place that I would blog on regularly. The only reason of being here are the communities that seemed to be a lot alive than the communities found in other journal sites. My friends seemed to be blogging here all the time so it's definitely a reason why to be around and start blogging on this site. Friends; they are always the reason why you seemed to stick around. Hahaha. Hmmm, still no emotes aye? No one likes cute yellow bald heads in between text aye? Oh well, I'm not much of a fan either unless they are really small.
I caught the Spiderman 3 movie. Ok, the storyline was boring. The special effects were pretty good. I did not fall asleep so I guess that's a good thing. It's not my movie of the year though. Movies with sequels gets a bit tiring and boring and finally, it's just lame. :shrug:
Wow, I never thought I came back and I did. Well, the main reason for leaving was cause of the user id. I found out that they had new features and so I came back. :) Cool!
I've been busy with my art. I'm still painting one art piece and it's not even anywhere near ready. I uploaded a preview on my dA site. I've made some changes to it. I might upload the new preview soon. I probably will post it on here too. I've taken a break today cause my eyes were screwing up and the painting just looked funny to me. I will end up screwing it all up if I don't stop for a moment.
I took the time to do my tax and submit both my father's and mine. It was a headache. I hated the idea of it all. I made a mistake in the first submission so I had to refile it. Hopefully, I did it right this time.
I might even take Sunday as a facial day. I need a facial. It's long due and it will be nice to relax and have a facial and talk to Dave. It has been really nice and productive talking to him. He started on his new job last couple of weeks and next week would be his last. He really busting his butt to save enough money to stay in Asia. I can't wait for him to get here. It would be so much fun!!
