Get to know yourself better

I'm not entirely sure I agree with allll of this but it was interesting enough^^ I got this from  Little Chief Honey Bee

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx


Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them. The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can. The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you. Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Yummy cupcakes!

SO.
Yesterday I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and ghirardelli milk chocolate chips, they came out magically with a sort of a brownie taste to them, and the frosting was delicious, I must admit however that as I was making the batter I was mixing the dry ingredients in a third at a time, right as I was reaching for the bowl I caught my elbow in the lip and sent the last third of them flying all down my apron, my pant leg and across the kitchen (its so small there was nowhere to go but everywhere!) and I had a little bit of a meltdown panic attack, but my mama came to the rescue and helped me figure out the amounts to replace what I'd lost which worked out better than I'd thought it would. Following the first meltdown I was scooping the butter at room temp(pretty melty) into my mixing bowl to make the butter cream when half of it decided it thought my foot looked like a much better place to be than the bowl. Suffice it to say that due to the fact I don't wear shoes when not necessary I had quite a bit of butter between all of my toes. Now the reason this was all so meltdowny I should share is that I'm used to having much much more counter space, and the entire household besides myself have been on the edge the last few months while we've been figuring out our new financial situation.

My Space.

This week I've been making leaps and bounds with my bedroom, its looking amazing. I've hung up all of my wall stuff and have been creating more stuff to hang up, I've been teaching myself to read the Faerie Oracle tarot cards which has been fun, plus the fact that the cards are gorgeous, I Love Brian Froud's work, he is a very talented man, if you don't know who he is, he designed the goblins for the movie Labyrinth and also for The Dark Crystal while his wife actually designed the puppets and their son played Sara's brother in Labyrinth.
The card I chose as my most appealing card in my first attempt at getting to know the Faerie's Oracle, I think she is Gorgeous.
I will be posting pictures of my room when I finish up^^ which should be soon I hope^^

HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!!!

I always love the fourth of July because while we are as a population a bunch of shallow fast track assholes to the world we earned what we have, way back when we were fighting for our freedom and we won it, our ancestors were amazing brave men and women who believed in their cause and fought against all odds, thank you all.^^ And personally I do love the fireworks, the excuse to make beautiful cupcakes with fresh fruit, bbq, and to be outside even though I'm melting. Later tonight I'll be posting pictures of the cupcakes I'm waiting on strawberries to complete via my daddy.
^^
Personally every year my family watches the movie Independence Day and it gives chills listening to the president's speech so I found it and am posting it here^^

"Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"
