The SMITHSONIAN

So, I went to the Smithsonian a few days ago with my guy friend Diar and I totally FORGOT my camera.

Story!!:
So, like, the Smithsonian is free and all and it was only a few Metro stops away from my school and since I have two hours until my next class (p.s. if you plan on going to the Smithsonian, ever, make it an all day event. Trust me.) so we decided to go on over to the Smithsonian and look at interesting things.

So, we get over there and we are walking to it and this guy with a "bum" leg hobbles over to us and is all like "where are you and your lady going?" and Diars all like, "er the smithsonian." Then is hobo decides to give us this like long ass speech on the different Smithsonians and what they have and just as we were thanking him and trying to scoot away he is all like.....".....and the wildlife and aquatic section is over there..and do you want to donate any money to me? It's for Haiti?" I was all like, "er, we are struggling artist on our way to make some cash with our trumpets in my book bag, sorry." So he accepted this and we walked away.

So, we get to the door, open it, walk inside and through the medal detector and I quickly remember I have a knife in my bookbag. Seriously, I shit you not. I didn't feel like bringing my tool kit to class cause it's so effing heavy so I just threw some things in my bad along with a pairing knife. So the metal detector doesn't even go off and I am all like...er? okay....and the security guard was like, uhh I need to check your back pack. So I am like okay....and I hand it to him and he's like....OPEN IT! and I am like...wow, er okay? So I open it and he squishes all my bread (read previous blog) and then hands it back and I am all like....wow...great security?!

So we go rush through the Smithsonian. Some pictures. Like I said before, I forgot my camera so here are some low quality shots from my crumby phone.

 A GIANT ELEPHANT!!

The skeleton of a money......sick people.

The floating uhh....sea otters...

Creepy ass tiki dolls from ancient Rome or whatever.

A centipede.

This crazy ass old lady holding a hissing cockroach.

The crazy ass old lady holding a stick bug..

Seriously, a freakin cobra.

and a Teranchila (sp?)

And that is all, cause my phone was running our of memory.

So THEN after we realized we were running our of time, we were hungry and I wasn't about to eat any more bread (previous blog) especially since that security bastard squished it all. So, strangly, they had a cafe there. I got chicken fingers. Then they had a gift shop. And incase you didn't know, The Night At The Museum was filmed at the Smithsonian so they had all kinds of Night At The Museum shiz. It was pretty neat. I got a pack of postcards and sent them out to everyone I know. They said.....LOOK! I WENT TO THE SMITHSONIAN! IT WAS AWESOME. Cause, truly, it was. You really should go one time.

That is all for now.

-Gaby.

Another Blizzard. FML.

Okay, well not exactly a blizzard, but it's two or four inches of white death. I do not approve atmosphere.

Well since I wrote last, many, yet not so many things have happened. ALTHOUGH I did gain like 5 lbs eating bread for two weeks.

STORY!:
So, in class we are on The Bread Chapter. It should be called....Death By Bread Chapter. Seriously we made so much effing bread and had to taste it all that I was on the verge of puking. Not all was bad.....but a lot was. Not because the bread itself, but because me and my team mates decided that we don't give a flying fuck about bread and it wont be in our bake shops so we skipped some steps to make the process go by faster....here are our failed products::

Rye bread failure. It looks nice (?), but tasted like dirt and yeast.

They're suppose to be dinner rolls, but they look like disfunctional siamese twins.

Our French Bagette. Honest to all god, it just happend. We didn't even try to make it look like this.

And we made bad sour dough, and these nasty ass things called Hot Cross Buns. They were disgusting and tasted like you were chewing on acid.

Some of the good things we made :D

This is Fricatta. Technically we messed it up, but I give it 10000 stars cause it tasted like a freakin pizza.

The Fricatta baked. Freakin, yum!

i made this beautiful materpiece. It's Challa. AMAZING!

This is a sweet bun. They were the best things EVER.

More Sweet Buns :D

PIZZA! It looks like digiourno. No, it was al la TEAM ONE!

PITA BREAD! Omg this stuff was so fun to make.

Now, for the best thing we made of all....DOUGHNUTS!! Cha! Like we actually made DOUGHNUTS!!
Ze process:

You make and cut the dough and let it poof some.

Then you stick them in the fryer.

Then you roll them in cinnamon and sugar (or whatever) and EAT!

They were so effing good. Like, best doughnuts EVER.

And that be all. This week coming, hopefully we will make some amazing desserts.

Random Pictures:

We randomly made Creme Brulee. It was actually bad. Like, in general it taste like eggs and cream. Nasty. If you go to a resturant, don't ever buy this shit. It's stupidly expensive and taste like ass.

A ghetto locker at my school.

puhhhhpuh puh postsecret :D

&&

Haaay Hey hey :D

Ello !

Hokay so it's the weekend which means GABYS EFFING BORED! Seriously, I do shit on the weekends. SO! I have come up with a brilliant idea!!!

(whats that Gaby?!)

I'll tell yoohs!

I have decided to make a weekend list (most items seems to entitle me to spend money) of things I can/need to do. So  I will share with you! Here:::::

(these are in no particular order)

1. Go to PetSmart to get some dog treats for my fatass dog. (she ate all the ones I had bought last week)
2. Do Laundry (so fun! Can't wait for that one)
3. Grocery shopping! (apparently it's called "going to the store" and not going to the Groceries? idk. Buster you're weird)
4. Go to Verizon and switch out my phone for the 3rd time this month.

STORY TIME!!!:
- So, I got a new phone a month from today actually and it was The Curve. I was told I have 30 days to retrun said phone and switch it out with any other one if I decide I don't like it. So I liked it, but they had The Curve 2. Well I went back a week or so later and switched out The Curve, with The Curve 2. Well.....The Curve 2 SUCKS major ass. So, I am going back today to switch it out AGAIN (if they let me) for The Curve.

5. Buy some gum
6. Clean & Vaccum room
7. Wash stinky dog
8. Clean bathroom (doubt I will do that, but we can still add it)
9. Call my mother... (seriously, it's an all day affair so I have to schedual time for this)
10. Call my dad (.2 second convo like always)
11. Call my g-parents. (unlikely I will do this either, but for the sake of quantity, I will add this to the list)
12. Get shiz ready for school on Monday (WOW I am so fucking bored)
13. Clean out my car....(it's groady)
and LAST 14: go to Walgreens, get a box of chocolates, write a heart shaped love letter, and send it UPS to SuperMac18 and ask him to be my Valentine. <3

THE END (for now).

Oh, and maybe make another sock puppet.

So, if you watch Glee than you know who Will is (aka Matthew Morrison). Well, he has a Twitter (like me!) if you have one, add me! Gabbananaz
I have a custom page and everything (cause I yam that important). Well, Matthew Morrison has a legit Twitter aka CreeperMatty (add him or die). Well, I had mentioned him in my status, tagging his username and GUESS THE FUCK WHAT?! He RESPONDED!!!! Holy shitttt. Yeah, I said it! Like, I can totally die happy now. Convo:

P.S. MsladayJay is Emma aka Jayma Mays from Glee. I have both there twitters and they were having an interestingly rude convo.

Gabbananaz: @msladayjay are you and @creepermatty being serious or joking?
Creepermatty: @Gabbananaz I am always cereal

O.M.G. I kinda sorta talked to a FAMOUS PERSON! I yam so lucky. Wow. I can die happy.


Okay ladys and men...I gotta list to cross off and what not. Have a fun weekend (unlike me).
P.S: Sorry if the Twitter thing was confusing. If you had a Twitter, then you wouldn't be confused.

Clearly I cannot stay on subject here...

Helllo.

Okay, so I have really be procrastinating on this blog and I really have no idea why. I need to get back in my writing game here, but my motivation latley has been crappy. I am going to go all "poor Gaby" for a second and say that since high school ended, I have totally let myself go. Mostly I am just staying home doing NOTHING and I have become unsociable, and lazy and I don't like it. I was pretty active in high school. I feel that if maybe I got a hobbie than that would help. Well....turns out that finding a hobby is kinda hard when you don't know what you like to do really. Not that I didn't try, I did, but crafts and all aren't easy to just do. I need to be in a creative mood. SO if you have any ideas, lemme know! Also, I was thinking about joining a gym because according to Reese Witherspoon, working out creates endorphants and endorphants make you happy and happy people just don't shoot there husbands. My husband is too far away really for me to shoot him so I don't need to worry about that. But I can get my energy back and re-tone. Not that you really wanted to know, but I use to have a nice butt. Now, it's not lookin so hot.

Besides, I haven't ever joined a gym before so I don't really know how it works. Like, I get weirdly uncomfortable when I am working out around guys...cause I can't concentrate on me, I concentrate on the guy....so thats a problem. And I am sure joining a gym is expensive and I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to possibly go to the gym a few times and then quit. Lets face it, I know me and I know I get a flood of inspirtation for like a day and then I am like, forget this shit, I want some cake. Not saying I am fat, cause thats deffinetly not the case, but my point here is that I am lazy, tired, and unmotivated and I am not sure how to change that. Plus if I stay inside any longer I am going to go nuts! Seriously. I could look for a job, but ha no nevermind.

On to the beginning of this blog.

If you don't watch Glee, watch it. It's quite possibly the best of the best of the BEST thing you will ever set your eyes on. Get a twitter people. You have a facebook I yam sure, so same concept without the whole stalking business. All the Glee stars are on it and lemme tell you....they're awesome :D They make my day, everyday. PLUS the guys are hawtyssss!

So, we have started a new quarter at school and it's my 2nd week of my new classes. I like them very much. We (hopefully) will be making pretty things in my baking and pastry class. So far, I am doing semi good. See:

Sour Cream Muffins:

FAIL.

They tasted like battery acid. I shit you not.

But I haven't failed at everything:

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! Hellz yess!!

They tasted like heaven, strawberrys, and love :D

Really, if you don't know what love tastes like...ask me to make you one of these. They even look like heaven. And I KNOW what heaven looks like.

STORY!:

Once, before I was born (I remember, seriously) I was a little piece of blue sky. I was just like floating around, and I swear I was talking to God this one time and we were in his lounge of heaven-ness. It was beautiful. Then he pushed me off his plush purple sofa and said..."Gaby, get out of here...someone just died and we need you to be born...gotta keep the population going and what not." So, there is like...my entire life story ahead here, but here is my story about how I have seen heaven.

SO THE POINT IS:

These damn things are heaven. Eat one.

So, during our four day weekend thanks to chocolate MLK day (hahha we use to say that in middle school.) I had A LOT of downtime. Like I said earlier, I have gotten into the staying home and being lazy habbit. So I was like super bored and was like...hmm...let me try this whole...hobby thing. So I grabbed some socks and started cutting away and I totaly made a sock puppet!!

This is Juniper.

I branded my name on her rear :D

So Juniper was hanging with me for the day an all and I decided that she looked a little sad, so I was like...well..thats kinda no fair, so I will give you a gay baby.

This is Jayma

Shim is purple for the gayness.

THEN she was happy.

THEN I felt bad because there was no baby daddy. It's not fun to have no dad or companion, so I made then a daddy/hubby.

This is Jedidiah. He has a tie :D

THEN I could see that the kid had no one to play with (seriously people, I was really fucking bored). So I gave them a pet....monkey. :D

The monkeys name is just.....J-Monkey.

(The J just stands for like, J cause we gotta keep the J name trend going in this family.)

He's got peace signs everywhere cause hes a "Save the Earth" monkey :)

So, that was my weekend. I made a family.

FAMILY PICTURE.

P.S. This post is dedicated to Alicia N. because she's my biggest fan :D

P.S...

I'm Baaaack!!!

It's true =D

So, since it was my Christmas break (and my last break until, like, next Christmas D:) and everyone elses...I  wasn't online too much. Well, from my computer anyway. If you have my twitter (Gabbananaz : add me!) then you would see about every 10 minutes what I was up to. NOT that that is too exciting, but I am sure I annoyed my followers. Anyways....obviously I got off subject here. So since it was my Christmas break and I was only online via blackberry...I couldn't upload any pictures and videos (coming soon hopefully) or sign onto my blogspot. So I am here to give you an update of the past 3 weeks in which I need to catch all of you up on (if you care). P.S. I have found out that many people are indeed reading my blog although they aren't following me. I'm glad I am talking to more than just 6 people here. Ok here goes:


My mom had come in a few days before December 21st to come bring me home. I am a baby and refuse to fly home by myself. So she came in and two whole entire days before we are due to leave to go to New Orleans, a blizzard hits DC and snow is EVERYWHERE. I love the snow, yes, but it kept me from making my flight so I wanted to curse the atomosphere for doing this to me. My car ends up being a dud, all flights are cancelled until after Christmas, and renting a car is not an option only because they were all gone. So I made a phone call to my step dad and he drove 17 hours up here in one whole day and picked us up. On the way to New Orleans, we passed through several states like Tenessee and Alabama. We stopped at this truck stop diner (so0o0o redneck). My mom orders the biggest piece of carrot cake I have ever seen. Seriously it was like a foot tall.

Although I yam sure that you cannot tell the actual size of this monserous (spelling?) piece of cake...take my word, it was LARGE.

So, after I eat the most disgusting meal of my entire life, we leave and WHOLE CROW! Guess WHAT?! Directly across the street from this raggity diner is KID ROCKS TOUR BUS!??!?!

Yes. I snapped an impressive shot.

So finally we arrive in New Orleans. My doggies were happy to see me..

They cornered me into the bathtub.

They're adooooooorable :D

After that...and some other stuff...we take a tour to MACYS! Well the mall, but we stopped at Macy's cause I yam a little kid and HAD to write a letter to Santa. Duhuhuhuh. I have never, not once, not in my nineteen years of existance, NOT written to Santa. Even after all the controversey and doubt about his existance. You don't believe, you don't recieve. Here:

Here is the post card I wrote on.

Here is the letter I wrote to Santa. It says: Dear Santa, I want peace for Christmas. Love Gaby.

Then I mailed it in his very own special, customized SANTA MAILBOX!

So, I am going to break this story for a second to say that whilst working on this post, I had to go take my dog for a walk. I brought her up here yesterday from New Orleans. So my point is that I took her for a walk and since this is an apartment complex, you need to pick up after your dogs feces. Well..she pooped..and I had to pick it up with her hot pink poopy bags. Gross. It is so cold outside that it was literally steaming. Not that you wanted to know any of that, but since I had to endure that, I thought I would give you a lovely visual so you can share this moment with me.

Okay, back to my story.

It's Christmas eve, and me and my sister set up the tree at my grandparents house. We couldn't put the Christmas tree at our house this year, because we still have boxes everywhere from moving so we set it up in my grandparents living room. They're Jews, but we convinced them it was a Hanukkah bush so they let us keep it. It looked like dis:

Nice, right? Right!

So, that night, my grandparents DRAGGED me to the grocery store with them. It ended up to be kinda fun. My grandparents can be funny sometimes...

And since they're old, they got those electric chairs to ride around in. My grandma wanted to race, but my grandpa was being kinda crotchity.

So, after all that Jazz, was CHRISTMAS!!! Then, it was up to me, my sister, and mom to make a Christmas feast (which ended disastrous). Here is the lime mold I was incharge of....

Yum! (seriously, it was good.)

For Christmas I got some things. My FAVORITE thing of all though was my MARSHMALLOW GUN!!!

Yeahhhhhhhhhh it was AWESOME!!

That is a marshmallow that I shot at the windsheild....I felt like a sniper :) or a ninja!

Then after Christmas and all that bologna....my friend Erica decided that it would be fun to go to this place called Painting With a Twist. It's where you get to paint and all that. The "twist" part I thought was the ridiculous amount of money you had to pay to paint. It was actually the alcohol they provided. :)

Here is me paiting:

I'm so focused!

Brie and I....

Final product! (mines better).

THEN...I went back once more before I departed for DC. I made a Mardi Gras picture that looks like dis:

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I feel so artistic.

Well, after painting...me and my amazing friends; Alexis and Nick, decided to go on a road trip to Baton Rouge. Actually...Brie needed to go sign up for classes and we had some business to take care of there so we made a road trip out of it. Some pictures on da road:

Alexis.

Nick.

Me and Alexis :D

Alexis sleeping.

Brie got out the car when we were taking picture so, heres her empty chair.

So, now, here are some random pictures that were taken on my trip to New Orleans!

dis be Echo.

Me, bored in the car..

Brie and her handy camera work while I was putting make up on.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a great New Years. Hopefully 2010 will be a shit load better than 09'!
