In which Sky is kind of an emotional/fannish roller coaster.

• Had my don rag this morning. I spent most of it trying not to throw up. When it was over, I raced into the bathroom and stayed there for a bit taking really deep breaths. We'll just say this: my future at St. John's is uncertain. (Which, ugh, was expected.)

• Came home. Then made my dad take me out for ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Just 'cause.

• Watched Life As We Know It. Which was better than expected, and adorable, and the "giant crisis" wasn't what I expected, and way better. So. I recommend it to people who like RomComs, Katherine Heigle and/or Timothy Olypant and/or Josh Lucas.

• I made Dutch Cocoa cookies! You know, these. Guys. These things are delicious. Seriously delicious. Recipe is here. I accounted for high altitude, though that might have caused my cookies to end up flatter than intended, and my dough wasn't as dense as I was expecting. I do recommend putting the dough in the fridge over night and not just for an hour. It softens (and gets stickier) as it's warms. Mine spread out a lot, too. I might also recommend putting more than usual space between each cookie to account for that.

• While thinking about what I'd do if I had to take a year off from SJC (or a semester if I decide to apply somewhere else instead of taking a whole year off), I started considering yacht crews? Idk. But I came across this site (and then went and found this one, this one and this one) which place crew on yachts around the world, and that... seems really interesting (not to mention the travel and the good salary). Does anyone know anyone who does this? Does anyone know anything more about this than what I've been able to read on those sites? Tell me everything!

• Am writing stupid amounts of fanfic, but not my trekreversebang fic, which is the one I actually need to be working on. (Esposito/Conrad/Ryan fic has hit 2k words. And I added to my Kirk/Spock smut. And also added to my Narnia AU.)

• Am all caught up on The Borgias and The Game of Thrones (as of last night—just in time for new episodes on Sunday). I keep having flail-y moments over them. For The Borgias I keep getting excited over history things, or how sexy it is. For The Game of Thrones I keep getting all emotional over characters that I remember liking, or how it's reminding me how much I really liked those books okay? Daenerys, guys. She's kind of a sexy goddess. And this is giving little hints at just how awesome she becomes. If I lived in that world, I totes would have been killed for being a Targaryen supporter. (Or maybe not, as they were kind of terrible people by the time they were deposed. Hm.)

• Ahem.

• Oh yeah. I had the first dream in a really long time that he was in. Technically it was two dreams, as I woke up, and then had a totally different dream about him. We were together in the dream. He apologized for being an ass and not talking to me til now and then grabbed me and kissed me. Waking up was the hardest thing I've had to do in a while.

That's it. I don't care if I used a Borgias icon last time, I'm using one again. This show, guys. This show.

My great aunt used to do the crewing thing. If you have any questions or anything, I could probably pass them on.

Significant point: my great aunt is only three years older than me, so she did the crewing thing RECENTLY :)

That would be lovely! I guess the things I mostly want to know are how does one break into that sort of thing, and what sort of training does one need?

Those cookies sound amazing and I'm going to be trying out that recipe this weekend.

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

They are so so so good. Make sure to take them out while they are still squishy, so that you get soft cookies after they've cooled. :)

Always dot hat with the cookies! Soft cookies = extra deliciousness.
