Day 29
Ilium festivities!
So I woke up at like 10AM (which a swollen eye btw because a mosquito bit my eyelid… I literally looked like —> -_- the entire day because of it ugh) and super procrastinated on cooking/baking… we were supposed to meet at 1PM, but I didn’t start prepping my banana chocolate chip muffins until 11AM and didn’t get them in the oven until like 11:40. -_- Then, I started my turkey chili around 12PM… ): Bad! Chili is supposed to simmer for at least 30 min so it didn’t turn out as flavorful as it could’ve been had I had time to let it simmer, but thankfully it still turned out pretty good. None of my veggies were undercooked so I was happy with that and it turned out chunky, which is how I like my chili, heh. (: As for my muffins, I decided to try subbing applesauce for vegetable oil after reading some of the tips at allrecipes, but it ended up giving my muffins a weird texture. ): They turned out to be really sticky and clingy to the muffin paper, but I guess it wasn’t too bad since the Ilium kids still said they were good and I ended up with no extras to take home.
Anyways! So we (me+Tuan) met up with Esther and Tiffiny at Troy and then headed to Craig Park where Hanul and Risque later met up with us. We attempted Tuan’s Trivial Pursuit and then me, Hanul and Risque walked to the gas station to buy some Arizonas/Peace Teas since no one brought drinks lol. Ricky also made me and Hanul climb up a super steep hill with the passing traffic on State College to witness our pathetic climbing all because he didn’t want to go the long way…. D: Charlie, of course, had no problem getting up the hill. -_- After we got back, me + Hanul + Risque teamed up as Team Blue to kick Tuan+Tiffiny+Esther’s butts at Trivial Pursuit. (Okay, we didn’t win, but it was only cause Ricky left in the middle of the game and because of Tiffiny’s darn Hawaii shirt!!!!) After Trivial Pursuit, we moved to the grass where I spread out my super awesome Digimon bed sheet (which also inspired Hanul’s Digimon soundtrack listening lol) and we played Apples-to-Apples twice! Esther won both times…. After that we kinda just lounged/napped and then Sung Hyun came! :D After more lounging and conversing, we headed back to Troy and then made plans to meet up again later for NRB. (:
Tuan and I went back to P-town where I dropped off Charlie and we took a little break before we went back to Fullerton where we met up with Hanul + Sung Hyun. We met Ricky at Chik-fil-a where Sung Hyun and I split waffle fries and us Asians took like 9348329042 packets of sauce… lol. Theeeen we started NRB-ing around 9PM. Edward came a little later and Jeff & Grace stopped by to say hi! (: After hours of belting out lyrics with some of my favorite people<3, I took Edward & Risque back to Edward’s car, but we took a pitstop at Half&Half on the way. (I love car rides with these boys, btw; talk about endless entertainment while driving down dark scary mountain roads.) I didn’t really like my drink (Almond Coffee milk tea) because it honestly just tasted like coffee which (of course) caused me major bladder distress later on. -_- But anyways, when we finally got to Edward’s car, I was so sad to say goodbye because it was the last time I would see Ricky for a reallyreallyreally long time since he’s leaving for Georgia for the summer and then the East Coast for college. ): ): I will be SURE to take care of your Apples-to-Apples for you! <3
