I've had a lot of thoughts running through my head, and I want to write them down so I can clear my head to make space for silly things, like the next time I get to watch a Senators game on TV.
So I don't know how many of you watch Ghost Hunters, but I do. Lately, I've been watching the second season, so I'm pretty far behind. But I have seen some of the sixth season (the newest season). I heard today that one of the newer ( I think) Ghost Hunters was fired!! Britt Griffith was fired for some things he said in an interview recently (as in the last week, I think). It's weird, because I actually found this whole thing while looking up Paranormal State. Apparently, Syfy doesn't put up with the things Britt said. Good for them. Too bad, though. I liked him. Still, you don't talk like that and get away unscathed. I mean, come on. If you want to know what I'm talking about, from the point of view of a Paranormal State person, read it here: http://www.ryanbuell.net/blog/2010/10/22/my-response-to-britt-griffiths-offensive-remarks.html .
So, on the topic of Ghost Hunters, I'd just like to say, it's been a while since I've been able to watch the show and really enjoy it. Why, you ask? Because in season two, they are missing their "perfect" team. They have had so many problems with old teamates. By about halfway through season four, I think they got their perfect team, which consists of Jason and grant, the lead investigators and co-founders of TAPS (The atlantic Paranormal Society), Steve and Tango, possibly the best bromance I've ever seen in my entire life, and Kris and amy, the only girls on the team, and who work so well together. As far as I know, they haven't had any problems, and I like that. It's much easier to watch a Ghost show and only have to worry about how scared I'll be when I go to bed at night.
Lately, I have found myself interested in Paranormal State. Normally, I find the show terrifying, but after looking up the only two investigators that seem remotely familiar, Ryan and Sergey, I have found myself respecting the pair, and wanting to watch an episode of Paranormal State, to see how the team works together on that show. I know I'll be scared, because that's what that show seems to be all about, is scaring the audience. Unfortunately, I get caught into that. With Ghost Hunters, I feel safer because Jason and Steve are strong, burly guys, and Grant and Tango are the kind of compassionate guys, who are nice and funny to watch. So I'm curious as to how the Paranormal State team works, and how different the two shows are.
Alright. Enough about the Paranormal. Onto a passion of mine that doesn't scare the crap out of me. Cooking!! Lately, I've found myself IN LOVE with making chocolate suckers or candies in moulds. I've made a ton, including a bunch today. It was fun. I've taught myself how if you paint one part of the mould, and let it sit, then put another colour on top of it, they won't mix!! I know, sounds obvious, but I'm just weird like that.
Also, I've been making a bunch of different cookies. Just this and last week, I've made chocolate chip cookies, jam thumbprints, and sugar cookies. I have iced the jam thumbprints, and they look.... odd. The chocolate chip cookies are just normal. With the sugar cookies, I figured out that if I put toppings, like icing sugar or sprinkles into the moulds before I put the dough in, they make a really cool pattern. I got the black dough to sparkle by addnig orange sugar. It was cool. (:
My other big passion is drumming. I'm completely and utterly in love with drumming. Often, you'll see me somewhere, and I'll be tapping on something. If not, my foot will be tapping, or I'll be bobbing my head, or even spinning a pencil. It's become almost a way of life for me. Seriously, I've tried to sit still. It's impossible. I twitch, and then I'll shiver, then I'll either get up, or start tapping. Usually, someone will tell me to stop, or ask me what I'm doing. To be honest, half the time I don't even notice it. I feel bad for people who point it out and ask me to stop, because I'll probably start tapping thirty seconds later. As I'm typing this, I'm bouncing my feet off the chair I'm sitting in. Abuot 50% of the people who notice my tapping will ask me to stop, 35% will ask me why, 10% will give me a weird look, and 5% will join in. At lunch, I've found myself in epic "leg drumming" sessions, where the person sitting beside me, usually one of my guy friends, will tap along with me, then we'll go back and forth until we start to laugh too hard. I think it's amazing though, that the 5% who join in will get weird looks too, but won't stop. Thanks, guys. (:
Haha, sorry about the rambling.
So, if you have read this far, congratulations. You must be dedicated. I know if I go back and read this a year from now, I'll probably skim it.
I'm sorry if I'm boring you by writing so much. I just had a lot on my mind, and when I start writing about something, it usually translates into fifteen hundred other things that I think about, that somehow just slip into my writing. Heh heh.
Anyway, so this weekend has been a blast so far. It's only Saturday night, and I've made sugar cookies, chocolate pumpkin candy thingers, decorated some cupcakes, and lazed around. Yupp, A BLAST. :P No, the cooking part was. But I hate lazing around. If I could, I'd be outside, hanging out with people and just goofing around. I don't know why I don't, but I just don't.
See you all later.
