"As much as I'd like the past not to exist It still does And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here I'm just as scared as you...I have nothing left And all I feel is this cruel wanting Take it all away Shadows of you Cause they won't let me go"

Death has never been something to hit me hard, but it has never been someone close to me.  The only close death that hit me was my cat.  Now though, it still doesn't hit me, but it does give me grief because my dance school is a family, and we just lost one of our little sisters.  

6 years old.

Killed in a mysterious way because how could you kill this way?  - I won't tell you.

It isn't right for such deaths; especially at this is age, and such a happy little girl!  She had just learned her over-two-threes that day, then went to a friend's house...

I hope God wanted her, because can the devil take away what is not his? 

Did she know God?

Probably not.

Hell?

Sigh...

The good of the day?

Ha! 

I wore my Tim Thomas Home Jersey :)) Bruins are playing today!  

Many comments!  Plus a merit!  Haha! 

Also, I made Mashed Cauliflower.

It turned out surprising well.  Bland a little, but not really.  Just simple.

Simple Cauliflower

1 Head of Cauliflower

Salt

Pepper

Chopped Parsley

Directions

Chop the cauliflower.  Don't cook cauliflower.

Put a few pieces of cauliflower in a Food Processor.  Pulse multiple times.  It now should have the consistency of Parmesan cheese.   

Now, take the rest of the cauliflower and boil till soft.  - I did not do this, but I put pieces in a bowl with water and put in microwave because I was too lazy to get the stove all set up :))
Put softened cauliflower in processor with some salt, pepper, and parsley.

When done, btw it should be mashed-potato like, put in a container or in your bowl and put some more pepper, salt, and parsley in and stir.  Enjoy! 

Also, I discovered I really am a 2nd Soprano :D Wait, did I post about yesterday?

Well, I had a voice lesson yesterday.  It was awesome!  No stress, comfortable, and good.  I can reach a High C so I am not an Alto but an 2nd Soprano.  HA I reached and passed my not-knowing I already had it, wish.

The Good, The Bad, and Stupidity

I am typing this all with one hand because, well, lets start with the Stupidity.  Last night was my first dance practice  for a feis I am doing in the fall.  Well, right after that, I went to youth group for a few hours.  Right when we were all leaving, I was running sideways.  Whoops my ankle slid out from under me... My mom and I spent two hours in the ER where I learned I sprained both my left ankle and wrist.  I am completely immobile on my left side.  I had been dancing practically all day yesterday!   Grrrrrrrrrr.  :( Anyway, the Bad was I am tired and the Best, was this past weekend.  My parents and I went to NYC on Sep. 10.  We went to Ground Zero which was pretty amazing - we also saw a lot of men and women from the Army and Police with their guns which was pretty cool.  The reason we went to NYC was to see Within Temptation.  It was amazing!  I almost lost my voice that night, and I have been recovering since.  It was SOOOOOO cool.  Only, and sadly, when Sharon opened her mouth, I instantly knew she had a sore throat :( Poor Sharon.  But it was awesome anyway. 


Here's a recipe -

- 1 Frozen Banana - Peeled and cut up
- About one-third or a half a cup of Plain Soymilk
- 1/4 teaspoon of Vanilla Exract
- About 1/2 a cup of (Vegan - Optional) Chocolate Chips - Depending on how chocolaty you like it.
- Two Icecubes
- Optional* Protein Powder

Blend it till satisfied with the chunkiness/smoothness and enjoy :))

"He saw her everyday....Then he got up the nerve to ask her out one day....She said, "Okay, shut up!" I will meet you on the corner I'll be wearin' something pretty Just for you, you can hold my hand Kiss my cheek, we'll be together, forever, You may be the very Best thing that's happened to me."

Berklee is a busy campus, even in the summer, but it was sooooooooooo cool!  Well, first of all, I came back yesterday... But, when we left, we came the day before the rehearsal dinner.  We ate at the Rosebrook Bar at the hotel for dinner, but for lunch we went to Fabyan's At The Station down the street.  The next day, it was the rehearsal dinner and manis and pedis for the bride and her bridesmaids, as well as my mom's and our grandma's.  My nails are called "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" (Sparkly Light Pink) and my toes are "I Feel The Earth Move (a Dark Burgendy)."  While we had our nails down, I was "punished" by having me dry my nails in a corner cut out by a wall from the room :)  'Cause I ruined the nail a little.  Hehe.  Then, when it was dry, I ate all the fruit off of two of the three cheese/bread/fruit platters my cousin got for us for lunch... Later, at the rehearsal dinner, my cousin had  BBQ type dinner.  One of the options at the dinner, was a veggie burger the hotel made :)  It was SO good!  I also had potato salad for the first time which was amazing, coleslaw, 2 pieces of corn bread, a chocolate chip cookie, a bite of cake, a brownie with ganache, and a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.  Yum.  The rehearsal and everything was amazing!  The next day was prep and the wedding.  My first wedding.  We had our hair done, my cousin had all curls and it was really pretty, and everyone seemed to have curls in their hair too.  Haha, in the bridal party at least.  After the wedding and photos, which were SO fun!  we almost danced into the dinner :).  The dinner for me, was two rolls, Summer Squash Bisque Soup, a few bites of Caesar Salad, Mushroom Manicotti, and a handful of chocolate chips from the ice cream bar :)  Yes, my cousin had an ice cream bar besides cake.  Everyone danced, well me, I tried... After the wedding which went from 4 - 11 PM, everyone left.  The next day, everyone left except my parents and I.  We stayed for one more day and then went to Salem.  I do not like Salem at all.  Sorry.  We saw a witch trial which was kind of boring.  After, that day, we went to Boston and went on a duck tour, a boat ride, another boat ride, and a concert at the Wilbur Theatre to see Gaelic Storm.  I got 4 out of the 5 autographs, only because the 4th didn't come out while I was there.  It was really cool.  Too bad it ended...  So, tonight I recreated a sandwich I had at Mt. Washington, and I did really well.  It tasted exactly like the ones they made!   It was sauteed Purple Eggplant on a croissant with hummus and Raspberry Vinaigrette.  Only, it had one piece of eggplant, one piece of summer squash, and one piece of zucchini.  Very good.  I also made a Spicy Eggplant Dip.  Yummy too.  Now I am watching "Tangled" hehe.  That's good too.  No bad experiences this week, only, on Friday, I saw a tiny bird that was dead beside a train track... It had gotten hit.  Also, the girl who's mom had cancer, died on Thursday night...  Sorry.  Good Night.
A good song to wrap up the wedding :)
Great Song Too
My other theme song I think, is Green Eyes, Red Hair by Gaelic Storm too :) but I can't find it on YouTube.com.

"I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in the enemy's eyes...One minute I held the key...I heard Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Calvary choirs are singing...But that was when I ruled the world."

THEY WON! OH MY GOSH THEY WON! FIRST TIME IN THE PAST 39 YEARS!  THEY HAVE WON 6 CUPS!  I am sorry Canada.  Good game.  BTW they played my favorite song: VIVA LA VIDA.  Never heard it?  Look it up now.  Your life depends on it.  Lol.  Oh my goodness, Canada is booing Tim Thomas :'(! Anyway, good game, look forward to next season.  Good game, good season, good teams, each with the same will to win.  Each with the same love, passion, and life.  WAHOOOOOOOOOOO Can't wait for the Victory Parade!

"I know they have confidence. They should have confidence. They are the" 'NHL' "champions...'No matter what you say during the week - and God knows we say a lot this week - we're going to be focused on going out and winning this game. We're confident, but I don't think we share our thoughts with everybody."

Tonight.  June 15, 2011 8:30 PM-11:00+ PM is the Final Stanley Cup in Roger's Arena Vancouver, Canada.  The teams: Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks.  I am sitting on the edge of my seat, and have been ALL day.  The score as of right now is 1-0.  Yay!  Boston Bruins are winning (No offense to any Canadian fans).  I have been, and still am, stressed our all day long.  I almost wanted to puke when I was talking to my friend about tonight's game.  I mean, this game is in Vancouver!  The Bruins and Cancucks keep having close games here, and every time they play in Boston, the Bruins win, and now they are back in Vancouver for the final game.     The Canucks and Bruins are tied.  Tonight, whoever wins, gets the Cup.  Now, recap, hockey has only just become a huge part of my life.  Well, maybe not huge, but I have become a HUGE fan and I am trying to understand all the rules, places, and such.  I have been doing well to catch on, I can tell when a power play is.  Anyway, my dad just said, and I quote, "I'm gonna puke."  Already my father has jumped up and rejoiced with a resounding shout through the house, and here I sit quietly keeping my thoughts to myself  (He thinks I'm not stressed out).  Oh my goodness, it's a commercial.  Eck.  Stupid, boring, distracting, things that waste two minutes of my life.  Hehe.  Sigh.  The game is back, my fingers are shaking, and my dad is going to hyperventilate soon.  Hopefully they win, because then, we will be going to Boston tomorrow night for the parade...SCORE!.... Goodnight...I hope.
