Mac

So I got my MacBook Pro tonight.  It is in a word beautiful.
I love it so much.  I refuse to name it.  I need to get a itunes gift card so I can download solitare, I feel so weird not playing it obsessively.

Today was an extremely eventful day, super hot.  Spent all day picking raspberries, I am now burnt and my legs hurt like all get out.  My neck feels like it's on fire

High lights of the day:
-making a boat load of money
-swimming
-the best ice capps ever, seriously.  Whole milk makes everything better.
-this:  Thomas, retelling something his cousin Reuben told him "Go get my water bottle, its blue it has a dinosaur sticker on it and it's over there by that tiny fridge."  That tiny fridge was our cooler.
-"Take off your shirt you'll get all the babes" "yup all the Menonite babes"
-talking about camp, and evening snack.
-Church Sports, getting a bunch of Christians together to play a sport, it just amuses me.
-My brownies totally turned out and tasted great.
-Casper trying his hardest not to do work, including lying in his cart and pushing himself along.
-a month to camp!

I made these tonight. Pretty sure they're going to be uh-maz-ing, I don't get to eat them until tomorrow night, much too long of a wait.
Fingers crossed they don't taste like soap.

These Best Friends just wanted to drop by my blog and tell you that there is 31 days left till camp!

This blogger is way too excited.

I also realized last nigh that when I become a teacher I can't go to camp anymore.  Well that's 6 years way so.  Still makes me sad.

I should start packing, and writing our skit.

Baked

I really want to bake, right now.  Yes it's quartre to midnight(well it was when I wrote that.) but I want to so bad.  I guess you shouldn't look at Bakerella at this time at night.  Now I want to start up the ole KitchenAid and bake some stuff.
I don't have one but 2 baking websites in my favourites Bakerella and Joy the Baker.
To tide me over here's some eye candy.

 Cookies and Cream Cupcakes/ Bakerella

 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies/Bakerella

 Rainier Cherry Brown Betty/Joy the Baker

 Vegan Peach Berry Crumble/Joy the Baker

 Pecan Pie/Bakerella

 Nectarine and Cream Cobbler/Joy the Baker

 Lemon Bars/Bakerella

Blueberry Blackberry Pie/Joy the Baker

Maybe the truth is I want to get a whole bunch of berries and peaches and make cobbler and pie.  That's really what's going on.  I saw a recipe for Peach raspberry pie on the cover of a magazine a couple days ago and now I'm craving it.  I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks for peak season though, and that is killing me.

For a Straight Edge person I do make a lot of drug references.

Why I'm Straight Edge

I decided to become straight edge when I was 14, It was kind of a long complicated process.  Every time I think about it I visualize this back creepy 3rd floor hallway of my high school, no idea why.
So why did I make this choice?  It all comes down to a family I knew back in Moncton.  They had a way too casual outlook at drinking for Christians.  I just wanted to completely distance myself from them, not drinking was one of those ways.
I feel that you can have a good time with out drinking. ( this is making me think of Milly from Freaks and Geeks)  I can find no good reason to drink.  Energy drinks get the same opinion from me.
Straight edge covers no alcohol, no drugs, no smoking, sometimes no sex.
Becoming straight edge was a choice that just made sense to me.  I do realize that I am still under the legal drinking age.  A lot of punk kids will say their straight edge till they turn 19 or 21 but I fully intend to stay until I die.
"I prefer to get high on life." -Milly from Freaks and Geeks
I do have a mild addiction to iced tea though.

Jump out of bed turn my swag on

I may have shared this before but this needs to be watched daily. Jimmy Fallon as Neil Young+ Bruce Springsteen= the best video on Youtube.
I hate the song whip your hair it's horrible but this version it is beyond amazing.
I love that Bruce did a 70's version of him, that just adds to the epicness.
Seriously.

exit pig number one

I know a lot of people are freaked out by Christopher Walken. I personally love his voice I think he's hilarious and this is one amazing example.

Hey it worked out to an even 50, win.( but then I added some stuff)

This isn't even close to everything I want to do, it's just when I write lists I always blank out.

Look at me, not blogging.

This ship has sailed.

I have completely fallen off the blogging boat. I am a horrible blogger. I have several posts running through my head but I have written none of them.
Church picnic is tomorrow...that should be fun.
I spent way too much money this week.
But I did but a bunch of stuff for residence next year.
And shoes...that are too big, whoops.
I got Twitter, that should be fun.
But now I am totally feinding for a iPhone.

I know that this isn't very Canadian, but it is brilliant.
