Fresh start.

I've been writing in the same Livejournal (livejournal.com/users/scarlet__stains) since I was 16 and now that I'm 22 I have decided to move my ramblings elsewhere and give myself a fresh start. I'm hoping this can keep me motivated to post more often, so we'll see.

Last night Sias came over and I tried to make toffee but had the worst culinary failure of my life; it was such a disaster I think even my pan is ruined. I believe the culprit was too much brown sugar and not enough fat, and boiling the sugar mixture for too long so that it became too thick. Now I've wasted a whole pound of Earth Balance and put a tiny bruise on my ego. Hmph.

I can't believe Memorial Day weekend is already here! Candice and I are talking about a BBQ monday and Cassie is trying to convince me to go to Nevada until Sunday. Either way I see sundresses, bikes and beer in my future.

The prospect of moving has put a pause on my decorating plans. I'm afraid to buy the furniture I had been planning on getting because I have no idea what my new place will be like, what if I don't have room for this or that or what if I can't paint, etc. So for now I'm going to leave things just as they are:

my bedside table and the books I'm currently reading

living room, look past the broken blinds

coffee table!

living room again

built-in shelves and peek into my bedroom


and I just bought this guy on eBay to add to my collection! I love him.

There's all kinds of exciting things coming up! I've got a great outlook on everything and it feels wonderful. Here's to new beginnings.
