@Rebecca, Tbh, Idk. Maybe?

This is why I decided not to take bio...

[Rebecca]

Meli: you have a option not to take bio?

:O That's cool that you have the choice.

Do you have to take a college biology course for your lab, Rebecca? Or do you have options?

[Briana]

[Rebecca]

@Zechariah: I have choices. I might take Chem because I liked that way better than bio. I won't have to decide for a little bit though because I'm not taking it until next January.

[Abby Elizabeth]

[mels]

Yeah so long as you take one science, you're good. I opted out of bio and I was planning on taking Chem, but it conflicted with my schedule so I ended up just taking Physics

I feel like I've become the Alfredo master. :P

[mels]

Alfredo master?

[Abby Elizabeth]

Yeah. In the last year or so I've finally started liking pasta and due to family issues I've pretty much become designated cook and I've realized how simple and fun it is to make different pastas and as of tonight I've officially mastered fettuccine Alfredo. :P Although I cheated because I used a recipe as my guidelines. >.<

[Rebecca]

nothing wrong with recipes add guidelines

[Abby Elizabeth]

Yeahhhh I know. But it's more fun to experiment with things that don't require precision *coughbakingcough* and plus its more of a bragging right..."oh I made this from scratch using only my intellect as my guide" compared to "oh I made this from scratch using the first 'easy insert-name-of-dish recipe' that came up on my google search" :P

[mels]

I never vary from the recipe xD
And somehow I still screw up...

[Abby Elizabeth]

I'm very much a "just wing it" person. I hate rules, step-by-step instructions, schedules, and the like. It's why I can't stand math or science or the concept of public school. :P It's the way I'm wired.

[Briana]

How are we friends again?????

[Rebecca]

But I love baking! It is far better than cooking. And what about combining recipes, or adjusting recipes? I've heard if you change three things about a recipe, it becomes your own. I've definitely done that for multiple things.

And if you did make something awesome from scratch using only your intellect, wouldn't you write it down so it is repeatable?

Okay, I do enjoy baking but when you hand me a recipe and tell me to make it and the prep-time says ten minutes I'll end up taking 20 because I feel I absolutely have to use the exact amounts or it'll fail and it becomes rather stressful even though the end product is absolutely undoubtably totally worth it. And I'll modify small things like, "these cookies need more chocolate chips" or "these pancakes should have some cinnamon" and whatnot. And also since I'm still just beginning my "housewife training" as I fondly refer to it my mom will give me guidelines. She had 28+ years of cooking dinner, pulling from recipes and stuff, so she'll tell me "you need this many eggs and at least this much milk for that" "you don't need to boil the noodles separately for that recipe," "that needs more seasoning" etc. It's just the way I work.

Because I love you and you love me and just because we're wired differently doesn't mean that'll change...

[Briana]

Yeah I know. Our differences just astound me sometimes

[Abby Elizabeth]

Oh me too. XD We are practically complete opposites. :P

[Briana]

Opposites attract :P

[Abby Elizabeth]

Conversation I had the other day:
Beanie-Boy: Oh yeah, Valentine's day is coming up. I'd celebrate it but I don't know who I'd ask...
Me: Briana's my Valentine.
Him: *gives me weird look*
Me: *innocent smile*

[Briana]

I can picture that conversation

[Abby Elizabeth]

I feel like most of our conversations end with him giving me a weird look and me smiling innocently. Or with me patting his arm in sarcastic consolation....

It's probably good I left out the part about me technically having four Valentines...

[Briana]

Four?

[mels]

I have no valentines... XD

[Abby Elizabeth]

Yeah, four. You, my nieces, and the greatest guy in the world. :P

You don't?! WHAAAAT. *sends you virtual Valentine's hearts and flowers and maple cupcakes*

[Rebecca]

My Chinese teacher asked me (in Chinese) if I was having Valentine's day dinner with my husband. I thought she was joking, but apparently she seriously thought I was married!?! Whatever gave her that impression, I will never know....

[Abby Elizabeth]

Maybe you come across as a mature, married woman? Or do you wear rings ever? Rings always confuse me on non-married people...

[Rebecca]

I do have a tiny purity ring that I wear, but I don't think it looks like a wedding ring at all.

[Abby Elizabeth]

Still. Could have been where the mistake was made. It could seem like a wedding band.

[Briana]

[Rebecca]

Perhaps. It still kinda surprises me

[Briana]

Why is everyone up so eeaarly???

[Rebecca]

Haha :) Yeah, I guess this use to be early for me too. I usually wake up around 7 now. It varies during the time of year, but work and school keep me on a schedule.

[Briana]

I usually wake up around 9 on school days and on Saturdays I wake up at 7ish and 8ish on Sundays.

[Zechariah]

Which finger did you have the ring on, Rebecca?

[Briana]

[mels]

Whaaaaat I never get up earlier than 10 on weekends

[Briana]

Well on Saturdays I have german school (class starts at 9 and we leave around 8 to get there) and on Sundays we have church (which starts at 10 and we leave around 9 to get there).
