Frozen Grapes

When it starts getting warmer out and I'm looking for a healthy snack alternative that will also help me keep cool, I will usually get some grapes, clean them off, and freeze them. Does anyone else do this? They look so weird when they start to thaw!


I especially love when they thaw out just enough for the the outside to get soft, but then the inside is still nice and frozen. And I recommend using red grapes, and the sweeter the better. If you use green grapes, they tend to be pretty sour after you freeze them.

Which Sibling Were You?

So which child are you? How accurate would you say this is? I was the youngest sibling (it was just me and my brother), but Tricity falls under the "only child" category.


Mine definitely fits me! Especially with being creative, sense of humor, financially irresponsible, competitive, and loves to be pampered. I'll admit it, I can be known to spend a chunk on something I wanted instead of what I need, and I always feel the need to outdo someone else in my own way, or even myself. I'm always trying to be a better person than the day I was before.

And Tricity's mostly fits her, except she's not unforgiving. She has a good heart and will forgive, because she understands that it's stupid to hold grudges. She's always been the best child anyone could hope for.

Why Don't People Care Anymore?


What I would like to know is - what happened somewhere along the line that caused such a change in the way people act and think? Or was it always like this between older people and younger people, and I just couldn't see it until now because I'm older?

Maybe people are just always looking for the easy way out, so they think it's easier to just not care at all...? :-( It's really sad. There seems to be a generation gap where people just stopped caring about things that should really matter to them. Or maybe they're just lazy and don't want to put for the effort?

I consider myself  a passionate soul. I feel things deeply, and genuinely care about other people and what they think or how they are feeling. Compared to these people, you would think I care too much, but I don't think they care nearly enough. But to have someone tell you that they could lose you as a friend, maybe think about you for a day or two and then not really give you another thought after that? What is wrong with them?

I don't think they even do it because they think it makes them look tough. I think they honestly just do not care. And that's pretty terrible. Why go on existing if you don't even care? If you have nothing to care about, you have no reason to live for.

I just can't wrap my head around it, how they seem to be okay with that. But you know they are okay? Because they don't care. Something needs to be done. A world without emotion is a world that is doomed to die off.

I'm Glad People Don't Absolutely Hate It

So I've been singing and putting my song covers on YouTube. I figured I would lose a lot of subscribers because I know not everyone is going to like my voice. Some people will, but I know I'm not the best, so a lot of people won't. After all, we all know how harsh people can be when making judgments on  YouTube. But wow, I only lost 7 subs!


Thank you guys for all being active and amazing!!! I'm lucky to have supporters like you, and I'm lucky to have the opportunity to interact with you all. Thanks for being awesome, and thank you for being the best!

I'm Loving This Minecraft Update

So since the new Minecraft update with the Enderman cities and all, I haven't been able to play around with it much. But since I've been playing Towny more again, I decided to try making a chorus fruit plant farm in my town.


After playing around with it for a while, I have to say - the chorus plants are some of the most bizarre, fascinating, and beautiful things I have yet to encounter in this game!  X-D

Bad Luck Christmas Tree Tradition

Something that always seemed odd to me - People who can't wait for Thanksgiving to put their trees up, so much that they'll have them up even a week before Thanksgiving arrives, but then a day or two after Christmas, they take them down right away. If you love the tree so much, why not leave it up just a little longer? Maybe they have just had them up for so long that they can't stand having them up any longer and must take them down right away? Me, I'm the kind of person who waits until the first week or two of December to put mine up, so it stays up until a certain date in January. That's supposed to be good luck, not to take it down until that date.



Just like the song, there really are 12 days of Christmas, but these days begin on December 25. The don't start earlier and end when Santa has come and gone. Instead, the 12 days of Christmas go from December 25 through January 5. January 6 marks the day the three kings actually arrived in Bethlehem, also called The Feast of Epiphany, Three Kings Day, or The Twelfth Night, and is the earliest a tree should be taken down because that’s the date that signals the end of the traditional celebrations.
