If you do not know already, I am in love with the film Bridget Jones's Diary.
I love it. I love everything about it.
From watching this film I have developed a theory, or even a philosophy perhaps.
In order to win the heart of another (whether platonic or romantic) you must (or should) practice what was exemplified by Colin Firth's character, Mark Darcy--when he looked Bridget straight in the eye (no smile. totally awkward, but with absolute perfection) and said "I like you--very much--just as you are."
I don't mean execute a cheesy line in the most awkward way possible, but learn to like people just the way they are.

Pot de Creme and Epiphany
By request of my sister, I return to my blog. I've been off on an awfully long hiatus. What's new? Not much. I have gone through two rough interviews for the only two schools I applied to for graduate school. How did they go, you ask? Mehh...bleh. That is my response.
Today i made pot de creme. SOOOO easy to make. The only downside is that you have to chill it in the fridge for like 4-6 hours for a nice firm texture. I got too impatient so it was still a little liquidy, rather than a nice, firm texture. The taste, on the other hand, was A-mazing! You must try it. Just follow this video. it's entertaining to watch too.
I know it's not Valentine's Day, but it doesn't have to be Valentine's Day to enjoy good desserts.
Soooo I had an epiphany today. Everyone knows I'm picky as it can get when it comes to looking for the right guy. But then again, it's just a list of "ideals" and I'm probably going to end up alone forever (so it's not big deal to fantasize and dream, is it?) Anyway, I realized today i was as hypocritical and hypocrites get. I can't say I want a 6'2" debonair who dresses impeccably with perfect hair if I, on the other hand, am an unkempt, undesirable, fat slob who dresses like a street rat. I cant ask for six pack abs if I have a gut. That's not fair, is it? No. So I guess that means I need to put in effort in myself before I impose these standards on other people. I must impose standards for myself. So hard because I can only work out for 40 minutes TOPS and I hate my wardrobe at the moment and am too broke to go shopping for a new one. Maybe I should go on What Not to Wear so that i can get 5K to get a new wardrobe. HA! Anyway, I must set a goal for myself and I will. I suppose my New Year's Resolutions are off to a late start. But regardless, Colin Firth, HERE I COME! (Jk. he's taken. I mean, Colin Firth of my future, here I come! I recently watched Bridget Jones's Diary, so Colin Firth is a current obsession of mine. I highly recommend it. I'm not one that oggles over chick flicks. However, this flick makes your heart turn to mush and it's entertaining too with British humor.)
