Days 21 - 26

Oh geez. I'm way behind. Sorry Guys, I got so busy and didn't bother to post here. Whoops.

Anyway, on with the show!

Day 21: A Recipe

Okay, this recipe has been one of my favourites for a very long time. I absolutely loved it as a kid, and I still love it. Now, when we want it for dinner, I make it, and I haven't had it written down. I just know it from watching my mom make it.

Tatertot Casserole

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
2 cans of green beans
1 bag of tatertots
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
enough milk to fill one of the cans up.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Brown ground beef in a skillet. When finished, get a 9 x 13 pan, and spread the meat on the bottom. Then, drain the two cans of green beans, and spread them over the meat. The tatertots go over the green beans. Then, in a small bowl, mix the cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup, with the milk that has been filled in one of the cans after emptied of soup. Mix all together, and pour equally over the casserole. Bake for an hour, until tatertots are crispy.

Day 25: Tell us about your day
Since I was supposed to tell you guys about my day, yesterday, I’ll do that.

Well, I woke up around 11, as my dad was making pancakes. I love his pancakes, they’re tasty. Then I took a shower, and got dressed. Then I went over to a friend’s house to get ready for the homecoming dance with several other friends. The we headed off to the dance around 8, getting there around 8.30. And let me tell you, that dance was amazing. I had so much fun. :D It was most memorable out of the three I’ve been to. I’ll be smiling about it for a while. :D

Day 26: Tell us about your week so far
I’ll go European for a bit, and say that the week starts on Monday, so I’ll have more to talk about. :D

Last week was fantastic

Monday: Series premiere of House. I enjoyed it.
Tuesday: I had to go to school early, because of my brother needing to be at school for marching band stuff. It was stressful at school though. Practice commentary in English, Test in Math and a DBQ in history. I was so exhausted by the end of the day. But our Masque and Sandal get together was fun, hearing about pranks that go on. :D But I was able to relax at home, which was good because it was the series premiere of Glee. I was very impatient for the episode, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Raising Hope also premiered, and I thought it wasn’t going to be good, but I thought it was. There was also another episode of Parenthood, which I enjoyed as well.
Wednesday: Masque and Sandal techie bonding day after school. :D That was absolutely fun. Played a few games. Then a few friends and I stood outside in the rain afterwards waiting for rides, which was enjoyable. :D
Thursday: IB DAY! :D Worked mostly on english and studied for chemistry. Watched an episode of Torchwood with Ryan. That was also fun. Haha. Went out to eat afterschool and went to the powderpuff game. Seniors won. :P
Friday: There were shortened classes because of an afternoon assembly, but the day seemed so long. My group didn’t have to present our character projects in english because of it. We had a work day in TOK, went over our tests in math, had a test in chem, and got to listen to our ipods while reading in history. The homecoming skits at the assembly were fun to watch. :D I also came up with the cherry theory (based off of the olive theory from How I met Your Mother) this day as well. Homecoming game was then as well. WE WON! I’m glad, especially since it’s my last year in high school. Winning made my day.
Today: Has been good. My knees and feet aren’t killing me as much, so I think I’ll be able to walk properly tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the new series of Brothers & Sisters, even though I haven’t seen the third and fourth seasons. Oh well.

Day 18: Whatever tickles your fancy

Hm. I thought of this one earlier. And In anticipation of the new series of Glee, I give you my top five episodes of Series 1!

5. Mattress

This episode is the one that got me watching Glee. I regret not getting into it sooner, but Rachel and Terri turned me off from the show for awhile. Until I randomly watched this one. I think it was the 'Jump' performance got me hooked.







4. Theatricality

I think this is one of the more emotional episodes, with Burt sticking up for Kurt against Finn's comment, Finn dressing up in a bright red shower curtain to get on good terms with Kurt again, Puck's 'Beth' performance with the rest of the guys for Quinn. And Rachel's 'Poker Face' performance and talk with her mother.

Then there's the Bad Romance performance. which is funny. and Kurt. in his Alexander McQueen inspired costume.





Puck: What’s up with this Gaga dude? He just, like, dresses weird, right? Like Bowie?
Kurt: Lady Gaga is a woman! She's only the biggest pop act to come along in decades. She's boundary-pushing, the most theatrical performer of our generation, and she changes her look faster than Brit changes sexual partners.
Brittany: It's true.

Brittany: [To Rachel in toy costume] You look terrible. I look awesome.
(a toy falls off of Rachel's dress)
Kurt: And we have a jumper.

Kurt: I’m proud to be different, It’s the best thing about me

3. Laryngitis

I’m definitely happy with the episodes that have more of a storyline with Kurt, and boy does he have a storyline in this one. And I really love Rachel/Sean and New Direction’s performance of “One.” It’s one of the songs I never skip when It comes up on my ipod. That and Rose’s Turn, which is also in this episode.





2. Preggers

Haha, again with the Kurt storylines. In this one, we get to see him dancing to Single Ladies, and winning his first football game, for the rest of the team as well. And we see the second emotional scene with him (first with his dad though), with him coming out. I’m so glad Mike O’Malley’s a series regular now. And I love Lea Michele’s version of Taking Chances in this one too.





Kurt: My body is like a rum chocolate souffle; if I don't warm it up right, it doesn't rise.

Kurt: Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel and I'll be auditioning for the role of kicker.

Kurt: Dad. I have something that I want to say. I'm glad that you're proud of me. But I don't want to lie anymore. Being a part of the Glee Club and football has really shown me that I can be anything, and what I am… is… I'm gay.
Burt: I know.
Kurt: Really?
Burt: I've known since you were three. All you wanted for your birthday was a pair of sensible heels. I guess I'm not totally in love with the idea, but, if that's who you are, there's nothing I can do about it. And I love you just as much. Ok?

1. The Power of Madonna

This one is just fantastic. I never skip the Madonna songs on my ipod. And I love how brilliant Glee’s rendition of “Vogue” is. I just love Jane Lynch in that. XD “4 Minutes” is also a wonderful performance. It shows you how much of a range Kurt/Chris Colfer has. I love Finn and Rachel’s chemistry during “Borderline/Open your heart.” “What it feels like for a girl” is an amazing song. I love Santana’s voice in “Like a Virgin.” I love the girls performance of “Express Yourself,” as well as their outfits in it. And the ending performance with “Like a Prayer” is just stunning. Have I mentioned all of the songs? Yes I have. I just adore this episode a lot.





Kurt: Mercedes is black; I'm gay. We make culture.
Sue: How do you two not have a show on "Bravo?"

Will: What do you think of when you see that name (Madonna)
Rachel: Genius.
Kurt: Icon!
Puck: Hall of fame MILF.

Will: And I hate to say it: misogynistic.
Finn: I have no idea what that means.
Brittany: When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist…

Sue: As Madonna once said, I'm tough, I'm ambitious and if that makes me a bitch, that's what I am. Pretty sure she stole that line from Sue Sylvester. No, really. I said it first.

Sue: And here's the truth. I mercilessly pick on Will Schuester's lustrous, wavy hair because I am jealous. There I said it. [But I think Sue looks wonderful with her hair the way it is. :D]

See you all tomorrow for: A talent of mine

Day 15: A fanfic

Oh boy.

You know what?

I don't think I'm going to do this one.

You know why?

It's not because I don't read fanfics, because I do. TONS of them, but I don't think I could pick one that all, save one, of my readers would appreciate.

So, you know, I won't even attempt giving you guys a fanfic. Sorry.
