Hi I'm Elizabeth, if you don't already know me. I made this blog for some fun and because sometimes weekends and holidays are too long, but most importantly so you can exclusively take a sneek peek into my mind (and not in a gross anatomical way).

Most dangerous cake recipe in the world

This is really weird. I was on stumbleupon and I came across this site called Cut Out + Keep. I immediately feel in love with it. It has just about everything I've been looking for in a new site. It's got lots of crafts ideas and how-tos which makes it great but what made it fantastic for me was the food section. They had a 5 minute chocolate mug cake which I attempted last night with my brother and it was soo yummy (though it could of used some cream :P). At the start of the recipe it said " this is the most dangerous cake recipe ever." and the while I read through the steps I was thinking how stupid that statement was because it was easy enough for me to make. But the last instruction tips me off and I have a quite laugh to myself because it's so true.
This is what the last instruction was;
"And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!"
Here is the link: 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
Oh and I got a bit confused with the measurements but everything is in tablespoons except the egg of course. I might make it again soon if I can go to the shops and buy some sugar and maybe some more ice cream for milkshakes.
I've found some really cute and weird things on this site like a Fish Plushie the can turn into a sushi plushie. Also their were these Cupcakes that were themed for Halloween and they looked really gross. They were called  Blood Clot and Brain Cupcakes. I know, sick.
Well apart from finding this amazing site (unfortunely too far into the holidays that I wont get to try a lot the ideas before I go back to school) nothing much has happened. I still havent seen avater which is annoying but I suppose it will happen sooner or later but I would prefer sooner than later. Well I really want to try one of the ideas that is featured on the forementioned site. Here is your picture of the day.

Soo Funny

Ok I was on the internet just searching up jokes on google and then I came across this site called 'Funny and Jokes'. I was just about to leave the site becuase they had a lot of Tiger Woods jokes and I'm really sick and tired of hearing about him but I came across this and you just have to read it, I couldn't get over it.
So I'm at work yesterday and the mailclerk starts handing out letters from upper management. At this point, I'm thinking "Oh crap, how am I gonna tell my family I got laid off?" Fortunately, I'm only 29 years old. You'll understand when you read the letter.
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Manager. They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can get.
Great, as if I didn't get enough shit already....
Yeah, I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. Okay I don't think I will write a full on post today so I will just post the Picture of the Day.

And the Countdown begins

Okay you know when you are having a wonderful time just enjoying doing nothing and a scary thought pops up in your head? Well I had one of those moments yesterday when I was playing my new wii game, Guitar Hero 5. I had saved up all year in hope of purchasing an iPod Touch but unfortunely when my uncle died, my mum stopped giving my sister and I money so I knew I would never save up enough but when I bashed my money tin open I didn't expect the amount in there. There was $102.90 in there. My mum gave me 10c to even it up and I had $50 in christmas money so technically it was the most money I'd ever had to spend on only me and the first thing I wanted to buy was Guitar Hero so I did. Did you know that it really hurts your wrist to play it for longer then half an hour? Where was I? Oh yeah, when I was playing yesterday I thought of something that literally sent shivers down my spine. School starts in 20 DAYS!!!! When I say school I mean returning to the place that I hardly went last year but amazingly still passed 9th grade. But even scarier then actually returning is that I'm starting grade 10, SENIOR SCHOOL! Just thinking about it makes me feel cold. This was the main topic that centered in the major conversation I had with my mum and sister. We talked for like 2 hours about school in general so like electives for 11th grade and how much effort we were going to put into our work. Of course we answered with the generic reply of 'All of our effort and time.' but this time I wasn't just saying it. I was going to put in all I could without relapsing (get sick again) because that would be catastrophic in my case because I lost grade 9 to my health and I am not losing any year in senoir school because every I do from now on will be counting towards my still unknown future. Everyday gets closer to that first day back which actually happens to my mum's birthday. My younger brother will be moving from his state school to my school which is going to be a good oppotunity for him to learn and make friends. But the best thing about him coming to my school is that my mum feels more comfortable driving him to school so I won't have to catch the bus so often which is great for me because there are people on the bus I geniunely hate (AKA my ex.). But I do have one friend who catches and he would probably be a bit lonely but I think he can cope with it. More importantly I hope my brother actually takes the advantage of having the opportunity to succeed and move forward and not just waste my mum's time and effort it took to get him into the school and that isn't even mentioning the money about to be spent on his uniforms and tution. Well I hope all turns out well. I guess if I stop thinking the worst and think of happier things then bad thing won't happen but going back to school is inevietiable. Ok, on the lighter side of things, here is the picture of the day.

I am not racist and if anyone was offended by this then I'm sorry. I was just trying to have a laugh. :)
PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP AND IN THE NICEST WAY POSSIBLE, FOLLOW ME!!
I will appreciate this very much.

Bury the Hatchet?

Santa visited my house on Christmas and gifted me with a portable music library which some people call an iPod. I'm absolutely loving it. Having all my music on something so small. Incredible!! Well because this wonderful peice of electronics has this feature were you can listen to your songs on shuffle which helps me discover some songs I haven't actually listened to before. So lately I've been listening to some really werid songs and one of them was called 'Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet?'. It is my favourite song at the moment and I love the lyrics, like most of Relient K's songs. Well I was listening to the song for like the hundredth time when I realised I didn't know what a hatchet was so I searched it upon on dictionary.com and it told that a hatchet was an.... wait for it.... AXE!!!!

I ALMOST FAINTED!!!!! WHAT HAD I BEEN LISTENING TO FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS??? And then I scrolled down and underneath the defintion there was a defintion of the idiom with hatchet in it it. Here is what it said;

 bury the hatchet, to become reconciled or reunited; make peace.


 That really cleared things up for me because if it was an axe then the song had a sick and twisted hidden message that I clearly didn't get. Well the menaing of the title fitted song and it made a hell of a lot more sense. Few that was a close one. I hate it when I love a song and listen to it constantly and tell everybody you like it and - worst of all - singing it out loud and finding out that the lyrics were wrong and that the song was actually sick and usually sexual. That sucks, BIG TIME. I did that once with Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3. I though the lyrics were ' Don't trust at all' then I searched up the lyrics and it was 'Don't trust a whore'. How to embarass myself!!! Before finding this out I had sung it aloud on a pincnic table with one of my friends. How embarassing. Okay enough about that I am going to go and get ready to go over to my uncle's house. I think we are going to watch 2012!! Yay!!! But I didn't want to see that movie. I thought it would be really scaring becuase this could actually happen not like ghost and physco killer movies cause you know its all fictional but not like 2012 or he Day After Tomorrow which I still haven't seen the ending to that because I'm scard of the movies. Okay this time I'm really going so see you.

Oh yeah ....... you thought I had forgotten. Here is your Daily Dose of Imagery!!

fail owned pwned pictures



Addition to the Condition of our inner Musician

The path I take to validate,
 Everything I do means everything I create is 
 Knocking on the door of everything I hate,
 I'll decline.
  'cuz I'm having a good time. 

Relient K, The Scene and Herd

Okay I don't know if you got the picture from the title or the above lyrics but I will have a song of the week gadget. If you don't like it then you can comment and reccomend different songs. I will be starting off with my favourite song at the moment. Hope you it!!! :)

Alien Hunter

So I started reading this book last night called 'The Dangerous Days Of Dainel X'. It's about an Alien that hunts bad aliens. It's kind of a boy story but I kinda like it. I'm almost finished because it is so good. It is written by the famous author, James Patterson. Did you know that he has written close to 60 books and there is still more one the way? He has also had 19 consectutive New York Times Bestsellers. Amazing, eh? Well I went on his site and found out that there was a community and that in this online community people shared videos and this is one video I thought was hilarous. It goes for almost 11 mins but it was worth it.

Well I just thought you would like to see it. Another weird thing that happened today was that our bin was stolen but we realised that this pychotic kid down the street stole it and it had all last weeks rubbish in it. How annoying. I also had this dream last night that someone I had never met before told me to not wear the colour black which of course isn't going to happen because most of my clothes are black and black compliements me better than any other colour. I suppose I could possibly do it maybe for a couple days or so but not forever. It would be fashion suicide for me and I would have to wash more which is something I prefer not to do. Well see you for now. Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
