Learning To Cook?
I would suggest learning how to cook breakfast foods. They can be quite easy and filling. Learn to cook pancakes, which is really simple if you just buy some pancake mix and pay attention to the directions on the box. Also, you can experiment with eggs cooked in different styles. Like, scrambled, sunny side up, over easy, or cooked in toast. ^.^ Really, all you need to cook eggs sunny side up, or over easy, is cooking oil (butter works too) and however many eggs you want to cook. Get a pan, pour a small amount of cooking oil (a more generous amount of butter should you decide to use that) in and heat it up. Crack an egg open and let it fall into the pan. Then, just let it cook for sunny side up eggs. This will cook the yolk from the bottom and you'll still be able to see it all yellowy. For over easy eggs, you simply flip the egg over in the pan. This is good if you don't want your yolk to be all runny. But, it can often be tricky cooking the yolk all the way through. You don't want to leave the stove on high all the time, otherwise the cooking oil could pop out when you move the egg around and it could really burn you. So, heat it up on high for a little while, and start to cook your eggs on medium. :D For an egg cooked inside a piece of toast, add a good amount of butter to the bottom of your pan and let it heat up on medium. Take a normal piece of bread, and cut a hole in it. You can use a knife, but I prefer to just take a small cup and press it down in the center of the bread to cut the hole. Then, put the bread into the pan and crack an egg into the hole in the center and let it cook with a lid on top. After awhile, check the underside of the bread to see if it has toasted. If so, carefully flip it over and let it cook on the other side. Once it's done, you can eat it by itself, with syrup or jam, or whatever. ^_^ It's very good. You can also make bacon or sausage. It's simple warming them up in a microwave, but you can cook them the same way you would cook eggs, and they taste a lot better (in my opinion) than just putting them in the microwave. For a lunch or dinner meal, you can cook tacos! They're really easy to make as well. Buy some chopped up beef and taco seasoning from the store. Warm up a pan and put the beef in it. You might want to add some water. Chop up some onions and put them into the beef as well. Take a spatula and stir the beef around, making sure not to let it clump. After the beef and onions have browned, put the taco seasoning in and stir around. You can eat this with hard or soft tortillas that can be bought at the store. They taste especially good if you toast them in the oven for a few minutes. Then, you can add whatever else you like on tacos, such as sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, whatever. ^_^ You can also make cheese dip with Velveeta cheese. Just buy some Velveeta cheese, and salsa. Cut the cheese up into squares, and throw them into a bowl, then pour a can or 2 salsa in. Then, warm it up in the microwave, until you can easily stir it. You can also add some beef (like the taco beef I mentioned above) to the mixture. Makes it taste yummy. ^_^

Gamer Girls
Well, I am a gamer girl. I have been playing video games since I was around seven years old. I love kicking some guy [wagon]. Especially when they think I'm going to suck. :P My guy friends find this extremely attractive. Most of my friends are guy friends and girls really won't hang out with me because we don't have a lot in common. I don't know any other girls that play games as much as I do. I went to a New Year's party and played some games with the guys (Halo, Gears of War, Super Smash Brothers). The girls there all looked at me like I was an alien. Doesn't matter to me though. Video games are a big part of my life. :)

Merlin is a widdle sweetheart. ^_^ He likes attention though and will go as far as to wake me up for it. :P And yes, all the pictures are of Merlin. ^_^ The other cat's name was Callie. I don't have any pictures of him on my computer. Most of the ones we do have of him are older.

:lol: He is quite the hairy manly man. Your cat reminds me of a cat that I used to have. ^_^ Is that a good thing? Was this old cat of yours a nice, pretty cat, or the devil in cat form? This cat was a very very very nice cat. ^_^ He lived to be very old and died a few years ago. :( He'd been around since I was born and it was sad when he passed away. Wait... Is Merlin the kitty dead? Or is it another cat that you had? (Merlin's cute, BTW.) Thank you! ^_^ I'm sorry if I made my post confusing. No Merlin is still alive. I had a cat before him though that died a couple of years ago. He was the very old nice cat. ^_^

Personal Recipes?
Fried Cheesesticks! ^_^ My boyfriend loves them! Go to the store and buy some of those peel off cheesesticks. Also buy some Italian Breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, and flour. Get a few eggs, and crack them into a bowl and add milk, then stir them together good. Take the cheesesticks, and dip them into the eggy mixture, then into flour. Dip them again into the mixture, then roll them in Italian Breadcrumbs. Repeat this for however many cheesesticks you want. Put them into the freezer for about fifteen minutes. Warm up some oil in a pot and once the oil is boiling, take the cheesesticks out of the freezer and throw them in. Fry them until they're golden brown. You can dip them in marinara sauce, ketchup, or whatever you think they'd go good with. My boyfriend and my whole family loves it when I make Fried Cheesesticks. :D Baked Sweet Potato (Yam) Buy some sweet potatoes. Take them home, clean them off really good, and then, basically throw them into the oven. It might take awhile, but the key is to let them cook slowly, and most importantly, evenly. You can cook them in the microwave, but it's tricky, so I prefer to put them into the oven. IF you like to eat the skin on the potato, then you can rub vegetable oil on the outside of the potato prior to putting it into the oven. That way, when you take it out, the skin is flaky and crispy. ^_^ After the potato is hot and soft, take it out, cut it open, add some butter and brown sugar. Around Thanksgiving time in the states, they sell some pumpkin flavored butter and this is extremely good inside the potato instead of regular butter. After you add the butter and the brown sugar, mash it all up and eat it with a fork. ^_^ It's yummy!

Out of all the awards out there, whats the most prestigious?
Going above and beyond the call of duty in war. Basically, doing something extremely brave or amazing. Most who earn it die before they can receive it. It cannot be taken from the person's body after they die. It must be buried with them. You will most likely never see a Medal of Honor without an owner.

Name a Street
I agree with this. It would be great to tell people your address. I would also name a street "That One" Street. :D It would be confusing.

For me it is, 3. Olympic Gold Medal. 2. Nobel Prize. And I completely agree with you on 1. The Congressional Medal of Honor. Interesting topic, by the way. :D I would absolutely love to see a Medal of Honor up close... More importantly, one who has earned it.

So ever tried meditating?
What's wrong with that? :wink: :lol: Nothing wrong with that. It's just most of the time, I don't have the time, flexibility, or space to do that. wouldn't take a nap be the better choice?? O:) I don't nap. :P I can't sleep for like 10 or 20 minutes. When I nap, they usually last for hours upon hours.
