MURALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

So I don't know if I told you all aout the mural I'm working on, but I AM DONE!!!!!!!!! I spent a total of 6 1/2 hours on it today, cuz of course after class actually ended, the head mural ninjas called me and asked me to help out afterwards, and so I worked an extra 3 1/2 hours. And I must say, painting is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!nnAND IM DONE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

...so, for those of you who have never participated in a mural, I would highly recommend it!!! Right now I am sweaty and covered in paint, and I gotta say I feel very satisfied :). I also have several pairs of paint-splattered shorts. I think offices them personality that they were previously lacking :)

I want a quesadilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm sad thatthe mural is over :(. But my mom says she heard about another one that's going on soonishly that I can participate in. Hopefully this time I won't be the oldest one besides the head mural ninjas!!!!!! Did I mention that the next oldest kid working on it was like 13? But it was still prett cool :). And now I have someone else to list as a job reference!!!!! And tomorrow we are having a huge partay to celebrate being done!!!!!!!!!! Chyeah!!!!!! Imma be partaying wit a ton of 10 year olds!!!!!, but other people's are coming too...

I am really wanting that quesadilla I mentioned before!!!!!!!!!!! With a side of guacamole.... YES!!!!!! FROM CHIPOTLE!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna put up pictures of the mural as soon as I can!!!! It actually looks really really good!!!!!!!!! I'll see if I can get one of the head ninjas to email me a picture of the wall before we painted it so I can do a before and after thing.

Ooooh, I have blue fingerprints on my arm. Cool!!!!!

Immature go rinse the paint off, then waif or my mom to get home so she can take me to chipotle!!!!! See y'all!!!

Cultists, cremation and creepers (oh my!)

So lately i have taken a fancy to walking around the lake when I'm bored. I live right by a lake that is about 3 miles in diameter, and on a nice day, it is quite pleasant and very pretty to walk around.
Now one of my favorite things to do is talk to strangers. Not just randomly, like "hi I'm Ezra let's be friends how are you?" but if I see someone drawing or painting or reading, I do ask them if I can see their drawing/painting or what book they're reading.

However, it recently occurred to me that this is probably why I
-have met so many total creepers, and
-have had three people try (unsuccessfully) to get me to join their cults.

Now, just so you all know, I don't talk to creepy fat old bald men with crazed looks I. Their eyes and who are holding a knife behind their back. But you can't judge a persons creepiness (or cultishness) by the way they look!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, now I have an announcement: my mom is finally down with her summer research!!!!!! Yay!!!!!
(Annoying audience member: so? Why should I care?)
I shall explain. This research has been the bane of my existence all summer. Not that I don't think it's totally cool that she's doing this research (though it does involve cremation, which, I admit, I find a bit creepy). But it gets quite irritating that whenever I say something to her she goes "...what? I'm sorry I can't talk right now, I'm working on my research...".
BUT NOW SHE'S DONE!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSS!!!!


...ahem. So, in other news, I've been going to the beach almost every day with my wonderful friend Zoe, and as a result I am hella tan. CHYEAH!!!!!!!!!!

WTF MOM? Quote of the day.

So today when I came home from the wonderful Jude Rosenberg's house, I decided to try and make an omlette again. Of course, I failed miserably (I am especially bad at the folding part, and at best they taste ok. Normally I'm good at cooking. But I threw it away and ate a free bagel instead, so it's all good). I said something like "*sigh...* maybe I should try mKing a frittata instead" (which is like am omlette but not folded). And my mom SPAZZED. She said "no you will NOT be mKing any frittatas!). I was like "...do you even know what a frittata IS?". And she said "well no... But it doesn't sound like the kind of thing you should be doing!". :P. Whatever, I used free-range eggs and everything.

While I'm here, who's good at making omlettes? I just can't get them right! Today's was especially bad. The ingredients were fine-cheese and mushrooms-but I couldn't even finish it! The egg wasn't cooked all the way in the middle and the outside was a little burnt and even though I put the tiniest amount of cheese imaginable in it, it seemed like way too much cheese. And I only used two eggs, but I had a really hard time folding it. Last time I figured it was bad because I didn't put milk in the eggs (cuz I didn't have any) but this time I DID use milk (because the Internet told me they taste better that way) and it was even worse!!!

THINGS THAT I CAN COOK, AND COOK REALLY WELL:
-all things involving pasta
-soup
-rice in many forms (including risotto, and it's hard to make good risotto!)
-any kind of sandwich
-chocolate chip cookies
-COFFEE! (not cooking, but still)
-garlic bread
-ravioli
-the best spaghetti sauce ever
-pizza bagels
-tortilla pizzas (think a quesadilla and a pizza combined. Learned it at camp)
-English muffins for breakfast (with all sorts of exciting things on them)
-hash browns (with or without cheese)
-baked potatoes
-mashed potatoes
-homemade hummus
-homemade tortillas
...the list goes on!

THINGS I HAVE NEVER SUCCESSFULLY MADE:
-omlettes

WHAT IS THE SECRET?????

...

In other news, dr horrible is AMAZING, I got stuck in an elevator yesterday, I also received free bagels yesterday, urban bean coffee SUCKS, hipster clams, songifying app....

PLANET OF THE DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm off to finish my free bagel. Peace!

*heavy sigh...* I have ennui

Been feeling pretty down for the past few days. Nothing to worry about, sometimes this just happens. But I decided to blog, mostly because I have absolutely nothing better to do.

Here's what the past few days have consisted of for me:

FOOD AND DRINKS:

lots of rice, and...

Corn nuts are good. I stole the generic root beer from a guy named Steven when my mom dragged me out of the house to some 4th of July thing. But it tastes pretty good.

ENTERTAINMENT:

John Green is pretty nifty.
John Green + David Levithan = :)
I saw a book at Barnes and Noble last week entitled "Zombies vs. Unicorns" and was like "...I have to buy this just based on the title..." Turns out its a collection of short stories about Zombies and Unicorns, and its pretty good.
And, of course, adding to the eye collage. Always adding to the eye collage.

Also, I've been looking at colleges in Chicago (I've wanted to live in Chicago ever since I went there for the first time when I was 8), and found an art school that looks really nifty :)

Chicago. Isn't it pretty? :)

Columbia. It looks really cool :) And they do performing, writing and visual art, so its all the stuff that I'm interested in. Plus its the name of a character in Rocky Horror. Basically, it sounds epic.

Unfortunately, my mom is under the impression that I'm going to Augsburg. And when I told her that Columbia in Chicago looks interesting (and more my type of thing, because did I mention that mom also thinks I'm going to be studying something science-related? Oh the fantasy worlds that our parents live in...), she looked at me like I was insane and said "Isn't that an Ivy League school?" as if to imply that I'm the one living in the fantasy world. Also, NO! The ivy league Columbia is in New York. Duh.

And now for a bit of whining. The source of my ennui is probably this: my friend Chelsii moved to New Hope, and my friend with the big fluffy hair is going to camp for a month and a half, and my friend Molly is working this summer, and Zoe is busy doing Zoe things, and Tommy lives in Brooklyn Center which I'm afraid of and my Edina friend and I aren't getting along (surprise, surprise) and my mexican friend Leo and I keep planning to hang out but we never do, and to make a long story short I FEEL LONELY!!! :( Would love to be doing something with someone right now. Sadly, I seem to have no plans at all this week. How did this happen? I was constantly busy for all of June, and now I have nothing going on?

Okay, enough complaining. I'm gonna go read "Zombies vs. Unicorns".

Going just a little bit insane...

MY TOP EIGHT LIST OF THINGS THAT SUCK:

-HEAD LICE.

-Due to the head lice and my desperation to get rid of it, I'm pretty sure I'm developing slight OCD-I just spend about 2 hours cleaning my kitchen, and I've washed my hair three times in the past 24 hours.

-I have 3 people sleeping over tonight, and due to the head lice, I have no pillows (I threw them all away and bought new ones which are only enough for all the people who live here)

-my friend Zoe is REFUSING to get checked for lice, even though she slept on my sisters pillow the night before we discovered the infestation (she's insisting that she doesnt have any because her head doesnt itch. But she should still check! I mean shes coming over here and sleeping on our pillows again!)

-My friend with the big fluffy hair was supposed to come over tonight too, but due to the fact that his mother is INSANE, he can't. which wouldnt be so bad except that tomorrow hes going out of town for like a month and a half!

-My mom insisted that i completely cover my hair with tea tree oil which repels lice, but i had an allergic reaction to it which kept me up all night and continues to irritate my lungs, even though I washed it out, leaving me with a gnarly cough.

-EVERYTHING I OWN IS SHOVED INTO A PLASTIC GARBAGE BAG WHERE IT HAS TO STAY FOR TWO WEEKS UNTIL THEYRE ALL DEAD. its only been THREE DAYS. and my HEADPHONES are in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how will i live for two weeks without my headphones?!?!?!?

-So are all of my jeans. I have to wear pajama pants to the movie tonight.

But at least I get to get out of the house for a while to see Scott Pilgrim vs. the world at midnight tonight with Tommy, Danny and Zoe (if she doesnt have lice). And I'm gonna see if my friend with the hair can hang out earlier today since hes going out of town for the next bajillion years or so. Argh.

I hope everyone else is having a better week than I am!
