PLS write smut for Hazel from bottoms..I need her so bad I fear..maybe like subtop!hazel..is her having a strap too far..I need her..

this is not. a full fledged fic. but this is the first time in a sec that ive let myself be inspired by an ask. this is weirdly switcher and just pure gay-sexier than it is subby!hazel. lmk if you want things to get subbier, bc i can probably do that. but for rn i have.. this image.. and i want you to walk with me on this but also hold my hand because i'm #supershy,

(minors [including 17 year olds 🙏🏽] dni fr, under the cut: not that proofread. strap lol (r!r), foul language, breeding... language... (my bad) (hazel has a strap tho), subtop!hazel except i could've made this shit so much worse so i guess switch!hazel but like, switch!reader, idk everyone's just a whore. there's an "i love you" (or.. multiple, i guess). there's a mirror. there's a vibrator. purely stream of consciousness, i don't even think the position they're fucking in makes physical sense fr. i was bored and i was thinking, so i wrote a lot. this whole thing is not realistic btw. i have very little confidence that hazel's blowing anyone's back out, but. it's my first day out in a min so i'm rusty. all respect to the community. next time when i pull up, i'll offer something a little more tame and saccharine as opposed to [exaggerated p*rnstar moans!!!]. reblogs and whatnot appreciated.)

so, i have this .. picture.

of you putting a bullet vibe in the pocket of hazel's strap before she fucks you from behind for the first time.

she eventually finds the confidence to blow your back out, and tbh, you think it's gonna end with you seeing stars because you can already hear the fucking lottery machines going off in your head. she's fucking you so well, and hazel's problem is that you're letting her know.

at first she thinks she's going crazy. but those fucking mewls into the pillow over how deep she is, how she's making you feel so good, how you've missed her so much, are sending shocks through her clit that the vibe keeps amplifying, everytime her pelvis hits your ass.

if she thrusts hard enough, which god knows she does, it almost makes her buckle over.

you're left clenching the sheets, and gasping against the linen while she fucks you, taking you in a way that's so uncharacteristically perverse that you don't even have the brain capacity to ask yourself why you didn't ask her to take you like this, sooner. her thrusts are quick and shallow, her words breathy and a little sharp. with every jolt of your body forwards as she experimentally blows your back out, it's like you feel yourself becoming more and more removed from this fucking planet. you can't help but cry -- sob, even -- as she makes you into a mess of limbs, leaving you tugging at your tits in one split second, and gripping at the sheets the next.

something happens, though.

where her hips rut into yours in deep, hard thrusts, spaced out by what feels like eternities, you can hear her. she's moaning now, breath quickening and chest rippling everytime her crotch hits yours at a particular angle. she's mewling, and unless you're hallucinating from how fucked up you are, you can hear her --

"fuck... f--uuh--ck, fuck, fuckfuck..."

-- silently beginning to whimper.

the girl goes from bullying your cunt to burying her strap deep enough in it to make the apex of its curve nudge against your g-spot, in a way that leaves your mouth hanging wide open with nothing spilling out of it maybe other than drool, but...

it's the slick warmth of hazel's back pressed nearly flush against yours and the heat of her breath against your shoulder that makes your eyes flutter open, facing your reflection in the floor-length mirror stationed across from hazel's bed.

hazel's in it so deep, you can't even see the strap anymore. and by no exaggeration, it's like an earthquake pulses through her body everytime she nudges her hips into your ass, making your vision blurry. she's rutting into you. greedily grinding her strap into your cunt in the effort of chasing her own high.

it wasn't a secret that hazel was sensitive. more often than not, the poor girl writhed against your mouth whenever she let you put it on her ("let you" is a loose sentence -- she begs for it, sometimes). you don't even know why you're surprised that your girlfriend is getting this close over having a bullet vibe pressed against her clit, hardly protected by fabric. "b--babe--"

what sounds like a plea, amongst the feeling of hazel's thighs trembling against the back of yours, inspires something sinister inside you.

you wind your hips against her, pressing back against the strap and the toy. the sight of your ass rolling against hazel's pelvis, combined with how good it feels is gonna actually, like, make hazel fucking--

"don't cum."

she loses her breath, entirely, and her rhythm, apparently. she slows, as if that was her body's instinct to obey your orders, despite the string of breaths that tumbles out of her mouth. "n-- wha-- fuck, no, nonono--"

you wind your hips deeper into hers, extracting a moan from your own throat -- fuck, maybe your gut, since that's how deep you could feel her. you press your ass into her until you feel the buzz of the vibe against folds, the frequency of it changing and humming as you press it further into her clit. "y--es," you grit. "don't fucking cum yet, hazel."

the dull, rolling vibrations through the fabric of the strap draw hazel's eyes into the back of her head, and then closed. she's grunting now -- or all of the above -- and she tries her best to unchap her lips, fruitlessly dragging over them. the little breaths she takes through them only brings them back to being puffy, pink, and a gateway of noise that gives evidence to struggle.

"gonna let me count you down?" you puff out your sentence in one breath, and hazel can fucking hear the grin in your still-fucked-out tone and it makes her whine louder.

"yeah? gonna fuckin' let me count you down so you can cum in me, haze?"

cum.. in you. three words that you'd never even fucking uttered to her before this, and that she never fucking thought she would ever hear and.. it looks like she can't complain, because her eyes roll into the back of her head and hazel swears that she -- at least, briefly -- meets jesus christ, "oh my god--," hazel slurs, hips rolling impossibly deeper into yours, it's a miracle she hasn't swabbed your cervix yet -- "ohmygod, oh my god--"

"three..."

ohfuck. ohfuck,ohfuck,ohfuck,ohfuck. it's the soft chorus that she whispers to herself as she starts to fuck herself into you, again, opting for thrusts as a means of trying to regain control with no consideration for your demise. the vision of her blurs in the mirror, and you feel your fists grasping at her sheets again.

"fuck--" you croak. "t--two.."

she pulls you further into her, and at this point, hazel's okay with being written off as a lost cause, 'cause fuck, it's not like she has a choice. the strap brief is soaked and it's entirely your fault, and god, she throws her head back. a mess of words, a mess of sensations, hazel just blurts, "oh my g--od--i love you--"

you burst out laughing at the random proclamation, admist everything.

she forces her head down to watch you, jaw hung open. and at this point, she's just speaking. rambling and slurring and gasping, tears-in-eyes-in-awe-and-all, as she watches you throw your ass back against her.

"iloveyou so much, you're so f--ucking hot, whatthefuck?--"

there's something weirdly sweet about it. something that makes your cunt clench around the strap in a way that hollows you out shortly thereafter, and lets hazel hit that fucking spot just right. before you know it, you're wherever hazel is, cunt fully creaming around the silicon.

"i love you--" you dumbly spit out a giggle, a gasp causing a steam of spit to cascade off your bottom lip and onto hazel's navy sheets. "babe," you warn. "ohfuck, ohmyfuckinggod, you're gonna make me cu---"

"fuckingsayone," hazel, unbelievably pleads while she unbelievably spears her strap into your cunt. "oh my fucking god, say one, please, please, pleaseplease--"

she starts begging. unprompted. "it's s-so good, it's so, so good, feels so fucking good, wanna c--um in you--" and she probably repeats it. probably repeats that she wants to cum in you until she's blue in the face and,

"o-one--"

until you let her.

the noise that's ripped from hazel's throat is .. embarrassing. virginal, almost. fully reverberates off the walls, and she trembles. her clit convulses against the vibe, twitching with every short stream of her release and she folds. poor girl was holding your hips for something -- for reassurance, to get a grip, dear life, perhaps? as her hips languidly fuck and press into the surface of your ass., rocking your near limp-frame after you've pretty much creamed all over her strap.

hazel hangs over you for god knows how long, dark hair shaggy and some strands stuck to her forehead in wavy wisps. cheeks flushed, and lower lip bitten to hell. the bullet vibe fucking dies, thank god almighty, because god knows she was not in any shape to reach down and turn it off.

she stays like that for a while, until she you feel her again. this time, only gentler, and much more like herself. soft hands caressing the skin of your back, her breath warm and shaky as she peppers a splay of kisses across your skin.

as you come from the surface of your own high, you feel yourself hum. still full of her, and dizzy with it. despite it, you manage -- slurring, slightly.

"haze?"

there's a hum, somewhere.

"did that really feel that good?"

hazel distantly nods, brown locks brushing against your back.

"uh.." hazel frowns, letting out a weak laugh. "y-yeah, honestly."

the mental note gets filed away somewhere deep in the haze of your brain and you grin, when you press your ass one against her just for shits and giggles and hear her gasp, from the sensitivity of it alone.

"that's my girl."

babes is back

hello my lovies!!!!!!

i am back!!!! much to your pleasure and simultaneous screaming because yes, if i am back, the fics will be back. and they will be painful.

i thought i’d give you guys a little explanation as to why i kind of randomly stopped coming on tumblr despite my reappearances in december, which were because the lovely @neewtmas had her 12 days of christmas (FIND THAT HERE) and we’re online friends in real life (if that makes any sense at all) and i wanted to support her!!!! my wife!!!!

under the cut below is my little rundown, under a cut simply because i don’t want to take up a million scrolls of your dash if you don’t want to read my reasonings or you are just happy i am back (i luv u)

i have felt terrible since becoming inactive on tumblr since i made so many friends and had so so so many people supporting not only my fanfictions but the edits i also started making, so this is also kind of like my apology to you guys because i went so unexpectedly and without any explanation. so if you want to keep reading, then keep reading!

BOO

scary cut. i know. it’s ok. i am here to protect u.

anyways, like i said, my inactivity on tumblr was a completely out of the blue thing that even i didn’t expect. one day, i just found myself unable to go on the app out of pure dread which i had never felt because it was one of my faves.

and not dread because of anything that had happened here per se, just because my life had been becoming a bit of a mess.

that goes way back, but the crux of it was when me and my boyfriend of 4 years (who i had been staying with after my mum moved away) broke up

i won’t get into details about the breakup itself for both my privacy and his (very unique instances caused it), but basically it got worse and worse, and by october time it was getting to a point where i wasn’t feeling right at all. he was messaging me all the time, begging to get back together, the usual, but he was always wanting to come see me at my dads and for SOME REASON felt as though he had some entitlement to meet my new cats aka my little babies. he was saying creepy things to me (that he didn’t mean as creepy) and by november i blocked him.

i wasn’t feeling safe physically, worried i’d see him on my walks home from the shop in a different town that he comes to often to hang out in with his best friend, but also mentally. i wasn’t in a good mental space at all. i was scared. i was confused. he had pushed all of the blame of the breakup onto me. i was working 35 hours a week while being a student (still am) and my brain had no time for anything but work, studying, and worrying.

tumblr isn’t my job, but the pure guilt i felt when i deleted the app hit me like a tonne of bricks. i felt terrible. one of the only things that gave me solace was something i couldn’t bring myself to go on to. i couldn’t bring myself to write the requests i had piling in, ones i still have huge guilt for never getting around to writing. i couldn’t bring myself to keep answering messages or reblogging things because i didn’t have it in me. i didn’t even write at all october-november because i just had nothing in me, which is so so unlike me.

one thing that did keep me going though, was my emails. “eden ew ur job alert emails? ur period tracker app trying to get u onto premium? the emails from the joint account u had with ur ex for his music career that went kasplut?” no silly. maybe the job alerts - my job has too much drama.

no. 15 year old eden logging back into tumblr and setting email notifs on for comments, tags, and inbox was perhaps the smartest thing she did, and she got all A’s in her exams.

every now and then, i’d get a little tumblr notification. one of those “put this in the inbox of one of your favourite blogs blah blah blah” i luv em. can never get myself to do them because of the 13 year old in me screaming to never do chain mail again after carmen winstead and her creepy voicenote. but i love them, and i appreciate every single person who sent me one.

i could see people commenting on my fics, and absolutely loving them. i could see what my mutuals tagged me in, even if i wasn’t able to react to them.

it gave me peace of mind to keep going with my life while still being able to cling onto the happiness this site brings me while not actually accessing it.

i will always be sorry that i left so suddenly, but it was a spur of the moment thing and something i couldn't even explain myself.

i'm back now, but i likely won't be as active as i used to be. i'm prioritising work and my studies as much as i can while still finding time to write. this being said, i can't promise that all requests sent to my inbox/messages will be answered. part of my leaving was being so overwhelmed by them all (and i thank you all for choosing me to requests fics from, it means a lot!) so if your request doesn't get answered, i truly am sorry and it isn't anything personal! maybe I'll get around to it in the future, but for now i want to bring the joy back to writing for me so i will not be overloading myself like i used to!

i hope you can all understand, and know i love you all so, so dearly! i wouldn't have the friends i do or be where i am in life without all of you!

love u all lots lovies <3

-ur favourite person ever ever ever, eden MWAH

#givemea-dam-break #if you read the whole of this whopper i luv u #if you did not read the whopper i still luv u

I'm not sure if that's a good thing

“Well you’re definitely the first.” This past week, we screened-in the eastern facing porch on the side of the cabin. The porch slopes to the South, with the brick-on-dirt floor crumbling in that direction as well until it reaches uneven slabs of stone acting as steps down to the “yard” below. A mixed material retaining wall wraps beneath the steps to the south facing garage, holding up one corner of the narrow deck on the front of the house. The deck, in the heat of a high altitude summer, droops off the house like it’s daydreaming about the winter snow’s embrace. It’s safe to sit on, though I would not recommend leaning on the railing.

The side porch takes the brunt of the wind. Our wooden rocking chairs have been rocked some 20 feet into the yard more than once in the two months we lived here. In the myriad of threats we heard about the weather, most people included the wind. We all know how I feel about this ongoing weather intimidation tactic. I asked, “what speed are the gusts?” “Oh, they get up to 70 miles per hour on some days.” This was the first quantifiable piece of weather information someone had offered — an actual number we could react to with data and our historical personal experiences of various weather events. And our reaction was: uhhhh…. OK???? Look, I get it. No one’s preaching the skin benefits of -20 degree wind gusts at 70 mph, building snow drifts against your house in the span of minutes that Cooper could die in. I am not going to pretend that’s pleasant. But 70 mph? Any wind I’ve driven faster than does not intimidate me. I used to rally the horses at 12 years old in winds over 70mph to get them in the barn before the latest tornado whipped through. I helped shutter the resort in the BVI as the Category 5 hurricane rolled in. Even in Topanga, 70 mile per hour gusts were not uncommon in Santa Ana events. We had our single pane windows shatter more than once from debris in the wind. We taped cardboard up and went to sleep. That “70 mph” was all I needed to hear to confirm our next project: we were going to build a catio for these cats, and we were going to do it on the pre-existing porch structure to save time and money. We spent a week framing out the structure. We had to carve into the logs of the house to embed the wood supports for the framing.

And from there, every piece of wood was custom carved and cut to fit around the existing timber supports. The existing porch was so wildly uneven that there are gaps between each piece of old wood and the new framing. Our plan is to mix all the wood chips from the project with mortar/chinking and stuff the gaps — a good solution for the log cabin look. We built a plywood pony wall up to 28 inches from the interior of the porch, which gives a height of ~4-5ft from the exterior ground below. It’s capped with a 2x6” railing for even the fluffiest of cats to find a perch. The exterior will be wrapped with corrugated metal that we’ll quick-age to match the metal that wraps the bottom of the cabin. On the interior of the porch, we’ll use shiplap to hide the framing.

The screens themselves can withstand winds up to 120 mph, but to-be-determined if they can hold the weight of a growing maniac cat who has already tried to climb them. In the event the screens succumb to cat (or wind or snow or neighbor judgment) we’ll reinforce with metal mesh. We’re going to maintain this screen porch regardless of what the screen is. We had the pleasure of running into one of our more industrious neighbors the other day, and Ben asked him, “hey we’re building a screen porch. Is this a terrible idea?” He laughed. “Well you’re definitely the first.” But he liked it. Great way to diminish wind into the house. Simple way to regulate the temperature with massive south-facing windows. And indeed a practical outdoor safe haven for cats in predator territory. Just because you’re the first doesn’t mean you’re foolish — just foolhardy. There’s plenty of that here. This town has the typical mountain town’s truncated version of a colonizers’ history: “established 1881.” But it was plenty established prior to that by the Uncompahgre Band of the Ute Nation, removed by the U.S. Army on September 7, 1881, nearly 140 years ago. The government relocated the Uncompahgre Ute People to Utah, and one year after the Ute were forcibly removed from their ancestral land, San Miguel County split off from Ouray County and was made its own political subdivision in the newly-formed State of Colorado. In 1879, the ore-laden valley already had 50 people living in it, with a new narrow gauge railway only 2 miles away. By 1885, it was a town of 200 people. There was a hotel, a couple saloons, a pool hall. Winters were treacherous; the valley was and is prone to avalanches. But where there’s gold, there’s gumption. The power needed to run the stamp mill to process ore drove innovation. Timber was scarce at such high elevations, so a wood powered steam mill wouldn’t cut it. But the San Miguel River just a few miles down from the mine looked promising. Thus began the development and construction of the Ames Hydroelectric Generating Plant. It was a hit. In fact, it was so successful that the Ames Plant led to the adoption of alternating currents at Niagara Falls and eventually to being adopted worldwide as a viable power solution. The plant remains, but the gold rush obviously didn’t. By 1940, the U.S. Census declared this little town I call home as tied for the lowest population in the country: 2 people. By 1960, it was one of four incorporated towns in the U.S. with no residents. But the joke was on the Census — the town’s single resident was just out of town the day the census came through. 1960 population: 1. By 1980 the population grew to 38, 69 in 1990, and about 180 now. (Plus 51 dogs according to the town’s website.) With modern amenities, it’s easier to be here. Studded snow tires, satellite internet, solar panels, instant coffee. No matter the hardships, there’s the reality of the present. In the 1880s, as the town boomed, the Ouray Times declared, “it will be at no distant day a far more pretentious town than it is now.” That day hasn’t exactly arrived, but I guess it depends on what you consider pretentious. I don’t think the town claims any airs of excellence beyond what’s true. In fact, the town hardly claims anything at all. There’s no sign indicating it’s even here. There’s just the old side and the new side. The new side, the Eastern half, was drawn out in the early 1990s, some 100 years later, and is separated from the Old Town by an avalanche zone—preserved open space for hiking in the summer, preserved open space for surviving in the winter. The town forbids short-term rentals, no one has a fence, dogs roam free, and all the houses have that cabin look to them. A boulder nests in a grove near a trailhead in the center of town with a plaque paying respect to the Utes who called this valley home. There’s no industry here. No businesses allowed. If you want a $7 latte, you can drive the 14 miles required to get it, assuming there’s not an avalanche blocking your path. You can, however, buy a pink lemonade in a

solo cup at the permanent lemonade stand run by the local feral child mafia. Crystals (rocks) can be purchased for an additional cost. We bought one, hoping to buy favor at the same time. The town plan has a few guiding principles, and it’s all in the name of preservation. We must preserve: 1 - the quiet atmosphere 2 - the rustic character 3 - the natural setting

And finally: 4 - protect the health and wellbeing of the people here No snowmobiles, no ATVs, no drones. In fact, the only sign of the outside world here are the passers-through. When you take the dirt road through town to the end, you enter National Forest, and you can hike over the pass saddle at nearly 12,000 feet before descending down the other side into Silverton. The pass road climbs rutted through an aspen forest before scaling across a scree field and then lurching over to the other side. Every day, it seems like 30 or so Texans and Arizonans in lifted and loud Jeeps with unused mods climb over this mountain in the comfort of their air conditioning, simply to drive down the other side. You could hike it, ride it, run it, and ski it, but they don’t. They rev their engines, kicking up dust in a town of feral children and roaming dogs, staring at us instead of waving. I’ve lived here for two months and look how salty I am. I’ll fit in yet. But today, there is a temperature that whispers of perfect trails and the dwindling of ogglers driving 35 in a 15. It’s already snowed in the mountains we see from our kitchen. Today, like a dedication to the Septembers of our youth, you can feel a chill in the air. A temperature akin to pencils and sweaters and reinventing yourself. A temperature that doesn’t exactly sing “screen porch” but could if you had the right slippers on. That’s what I did this morning: put my slippers on and sat there in the cool mountain morning air, thinking about the cemetery behind our house, about the Ute tribe, about the miners, about the mailman who died on Christmas in 1875 on the pass, about the 5 people who died in avalanches here just last year, about the people in their cars on their phones driving through, and all the people who’s very first question to us was, “so are you gonna live here part-time or full-time?” Maybe it will be a hard place to live. But at least we’ll have a screen porch.

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/4541826)

  28. Clear My Thursday by janto321 (FaceofMer), E, 2271

  34. Nothing sweeter than you by PinkGloom, E, 3578

Mycroft visits Greg at his bakery late at night on Valentine's Day for some sexy times. A smutty sequel to "Special kind of filling"

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/1445353)

  35. Not Strictly Business by janto321 (FaceofMer), E, 4578

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/22004515)

  40. Once and Again by MerKat, E, 8950

What better thing than a guitar to bring two people together not once, but twice.

 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/2379203)

  41. Stronger Together by MerKat, E, 8979

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/2247609/chapters/4932480)

  42. Not As Strong by jadztone, E, 11601

(https://archiveofourown.org/works/20378629/chapters/48330457)

  43. A Willing Prize by MerHums, E, 14760

When Mycroft and Sherlock are torn away from their home by pirates, Mycroft is willing to do anything to protect his brother.

Digging Deeper

Thank you to my radiant wonderful friend @alienfuckeronmain for sending me EXACTLY the type of self indulgent wind-down activity I wanted on this otherwise depressing weekend! If anyone else wants to answer FORTY-NINE QUESTIONS about themselves, I’m super nosy and will read it all! @fight-the-seether @ptolemyofchaos @butchwizard @metalbutch @nyndelion @comrade-ziltoid @leatherdear @kristalknobb Enjoy, friends!

1. Do you prefer writing with a black pen or blue pen? I prefer black, but I always feel like I write neater in blue??

2. Would you prefer to live in the country or city? The city, but only if it has breathable air, green infrastructure, and decent public transit. So like... definitely no city in America lmao

3. If you could learn a new skill what would it be? The ability to quickly become fluent in another language! I’ve been struggling with Spanish for literal YEARS and it’s honestly pathetic. My brain is so stuck on English.

4. Do you drink your tea/coffee with sugar? Look pal. If I wanna drink sugar, I’m gonna have a soda, not herb water or bean juice.

5. What was your favorite book as a child? I was OBSESSED with The Wish List, by Eoin Colfer (of Artemis Fowl fame). I remember being so fascinated by how dark it was?? It’s an afterlife adventure, where the main character has to escape purgatory by atoning for her crimes of robbery and fraud and whatever. I had a crush on her, so basically this book made me want to pursue a life of crime, even though it explicitly condemns crime and depicts Hell as a very real and horrible place. I was in like fourth grade and was super morbidly curious about Hell and the possibility of going there! Lol

6. Do you prefer baths or showers? Baths... but only when I’m not actually dirty going in. A bath is leisure, not hygiene.

7. If you could be a mythical creature, which one would you be? 100% fae! I would build my dwelling within a sidhe mound, steal shiny things in the middle of the night, make bastardly little contracts for no reason, and cause harmless mayhem and mischief because mortals really are fools (go off, robin goodfellow!) Also I love mushroom circles and dancing in the moonlight.

8. Paper or electronic books? Paper all the way! I read much more content electronically, but it’s usually in the short story or article format. Books are much better in print, I think.

9. What is your favorite item of clothing? Probably my rust-brown overalls.

10. Do you like your name or would you like to change it? I’ve always hated my name but no alternative has ever stuck, unfortunately. My name is Amy, and I don’t think it fits at all. If I knew I’d never have to correct anyone on it, I’d probably just change it to Amelia?

11. Who is a mentor to you? My little brother! He’s this genius musician, and he has taught me so much about song structure, polyrhythms, guitar technique, production tricks, all kinds of trivia that really deepen my appreciation for music and the LABOR that goes into it.

12. Would you like to be famous and if so, what for? No, never, not for anything. I cherish my anonimity so much, I don’t even put searchable tags on this blog cuz I get an adrenaline spike from anxiety if too many people interact with me. I also just think fame is a fucking hideous construct. I don’t think it’s even slightly cool or desirable.

13. Are you a restless sleeper? No, I’m a fucking log. I can easily sleep for 12 hours straight. Thanks, depression!

14. Do you consider yourself a romantic person? No, actually. I’m very much in love, and it brings me lots of joy to do nice things with and for my partner! But romance feels very difficult for me to connect with. I’m super domestic, like, I love the idea of marriage but not necessarily a wedding, or a moonstruck romance or whatever. Those dramatic gestures feel very awkward for me.

15. Which element best represents you? EARTH. Specifically, like... dirt, or soil.

16. Who do you want to be closer to? I want to be geographically closer to my family. We’re thick as thieves, but we all live like 50 miles apart from each other. I miss my brothers and my parents so much, I feel so incomplete and depressed without them to hang out with, especially since quarantine.

17. Do you miss someone at the moment? See above! Lol

18. Tell us about an early childhood memory. When my little brother was a baby, he had this grey car seat with a folding mechanism which held his legs in place. It made a very satisfying clicking sound when the mechanism moved, AND when it was fully unfolded, it looked a lot like a Klingon battle cruiser. (Or so my five year old brain thought.) So! My older brother and I would take this seat out of the car CONSTANTLY so that we could unfold it and “sing” the Klingon theme music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture while we scooched our car seat battle cruiser across the living room floor, pretending to shoot phasers into the TV or the dining table or whatever else got in our way.

19. What is the strangest thing you have eaten? Gifilte fish, maybe?

20. What are you most thankful for? My family, including my wonderful partner and all the cats in our lives!

21. Do you like spicy food? Yes! But my tolerance for extreme spice decreases every year, unfortunately. So I can’t handle as much heat as I used to, but I do enjoy a good kick.

22. Have you ever met someone famous? Lmaooo I made the regretful decision to PAY FOR a meet&greet with Fall Out Boy in like 2006, which was so fucking awkward and painful, I vowed to never approach that level of lame again.

23. Do you keep a diary or a journal? TONS! I’m an obsessive record keeper. Some years I journal more than others, and I’ve found that it is super difficult to keep up with it while working full time. But it’s absolutely one of my favorite hobbies.

24. Do you prefer to use a pen or pencil? Pen for writing. Pencil for drawing, and math.

25. What is your star sign? Virgo sun, Aquarius moon, Scorpio rising 🙃

26. Do you like your cereal soggy or crunchy? Crunchy! A shallow bath in that milk is key.

27. What would you want your legacy to be? My artwork. I go through these aesthetic phases every year that I become super obsessed with/ focused on, and I’ve always meant to catalogue them in annual art journals, but I’ve NEVER FINISHED ONE! They always get pushed aside by the need to work, and I hate that so much. If I could just take a year off work and backfill all of my missed concepts into completed books, I would be so happy. But I literally have NO WAY to pay for that, absolutely none. I fucking hate capitalism.

28. Do you like reading, what was the last book you read? I love to read, but finishing a whole book has been A STRUGGLE lately! Right now I’m chipping away at Tending Brigid’s Flame, which is a quaint lil devotional for the Celtic fire goddess. Very new agey, like cheesy Wiccan vibes. I love that shit!

29. How do you show someone you love them? Quality time!

30. Do you like ice in your drinks? Only if I have a straw. Ice touching my teeth kinda makes me wince.

31. What are you afraid of? Incompetance, doing a bad job, letting someone down, taking up too much space, being a nussiance, etc

32. What is your favourite scent? Incense! Especially cinnamon, dragon’s blood, and amber.

33. Do you address older people by their name or surname? I always call people, regardless of age, by the name they ask me to use. Sometimes it’s a surname or title, usually it’s a first name. I’ll ask their preference if I’m unsure. But I definitely don’t default toward a surname, that’s weird.

34. If money was not a factor, how would you live your life? COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY!!!!!! The need for money rules literally every single hour of my entire life, and I hate it so much. I’m naturally nocturnal, but my job requires me to get up super early and sit in a car for 11 hours a day. I wake up at 5am, come home front work at 5pm, spend an hour or two trying to unwind, then go to bed and do it all over again. I hate my life! Really! I never see the stars, I never exercise, I am completely exhausted and burnt out all the time, and I barely get any quality time with my partner. If money were no object, I would sleep til noon or 1, make art and hike all day, ride my bike and stargaze all night, stay up til 4am reading and playing with my cats, and sleep like a baby. My partner and I would cook dinner for each other and watch Star Trek and collaborate on art projects and I would be so happy.

35. Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean? Here’s my hierarchy: Private pool > ocean > public pool

36. What would you do if you found £50 on the ground? I’d look around to see if anyone obviously dropped it and try to give it back. If I couldn’t find anyone, I’d exchange it for dollars and deposit that shit into my account!

37. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Of course!! Hundreds!

38. What is the one thing you would want to teach your children? America is evil and needs to be destroyed.

39. If you had to have a tattoo, what would it be and where would you get it? Lmao this is so cute. If you HAD TO HAVE a tattoo! I really wanna finish my damn sleeves, they’re literally 9 years in the making and barely half finished. But I’d also love more art on my legs! I DESPERATELY want Ziltoid in a lacy valentine heart on my thigh.

40. What can you hear now? Our fish tank water bubbling and my fan on full blast.

41. Where do you feel the safest? Home alone, doors locked, windows covered, lights low. I absolutely LOVE to not be seen or perceived in any way.

42. What is the one thing you want to overcome/conquer? My fear of discomfort

43. If you could time travel to another era, which one would you choose? I feel like I’d want to be a teen in the 80’s and an adult in the 90’s. Does time travel work that way?

44. What is your most used emoji? 😭 or 😎

45. Describe yourself using one word. Defeated

46. What do you regret the most? Convincing myself that math was too hard or boring (or something?) when I was in middle school. I feel like I’m actually a pretty intelligent person who could’ve totally overcome that difficulty and gone on to understand all kinds of patterns and concepts which have eluded me to this day! It’s so frustrating to try and fight that formative self-concept, which now comes naturally but ultimately sabotages me. 💀

47. Last movie you saw? I made my partner watch Troop Beverly Hills, one of my childhood faves. It’s so fun! I love chick flicks so much.

48. Last tv show you watched? Deep Space Nine. Getting through the first season has been harder than expected. It’s actually my favorite Star Trek show?? (Orrrr maybe that’s TNG, ahh! It’s so hard to choose!) But season one is so baffling and awful! Why is there so much space capitalism??! And racism? And war? And drinking alcoholic beverages? #notmystartrek

49. Invent a word and its meaning. I used to call a single strand of curly hair a “curly quink” when I was a child. Therefore, a “quink” is a section of hair, usually a particularly cute or iconic one.

Multigrain Bread Rings-Koulouria

⊚

Multigrain Greek Bread Rings - Polyspora Koulouria Thessalonikis BY: Greek Cooking Made Easy https://www.youtube.com/greekcookingmadeeasy

Check my YouTube Video: Here

Κοιτάξτε επίσης την συνταγή μου σε YouTube βίντεο, το λίνκ είναι: ΕΔΩ

Makes 14 Koulouria Greek Koulouri, a bread shaped like a ring and coated with sesame seeds, is the best example of humble street food or snack to make you appreciate the grandness of the simple flavor. Koulouria (plural of Koulouri) have no similarities with Bagels-they have a delightful crunchiness from the 1st bite! In this recipe which uses the same method as for plain Koulouria (check my separate recipe), I experiment with making multigrain Koulouria. I shape them a bit smaller because they are quite filling; they are bursting with seeds and packed with so many earthy flavors and make for a healthier alternative. They can be eaten on the street, on-the-go, at home, school, work, anytime of day. Suitable for fasting and vegans.

You can find the Recipe for Plain Koulouria-Bread Sesame Rings HERE

INGREDIENTS: Ingredients for the dough: 250 gr / 9 oz / 2 cups Multigrain Flour 250 gr / 9 oz / 2 cups Bread (hard) Flour, sifted About 300 ml / 1.2 cups lukewarm Water 14-16 gr/ 0.5-0.6 oz / 2 tbsp. Dry Yeast 36 gr / 1.3 oz /3 tbsp. Crystal Sugar 7 gr / 0.3 oz / 1.2 tsp. Salt A bit Olive Oil Ingredients for coating the rings: 0.5 lt / 2 cups Water @room temp. 24 gr / 0.85 oz / 2 tbsp. crystal Sugar 60 gr / 2.1 oz / about 0.5 cup Sunflower Seeds 60 gr / 2.1 oz / 0.5 cup Pumpkin Seeds 60 gr / 2.1 oz / 0.4 cup Flax Seeds

METHOD: A. Prepare the dough: 1. Pour the water in the mixer bowl and add the yeast. 2. Whisk to mix them together.

3. Leave it for 10' to rest and for the yeast to activate. 4. Then, start the electric mixer using the hook adjustment. 5. Gradually start adding the bread flour, spoon by spoon, beating to blend it in.

6. Next add the salt and 3 tbsp. sugar in the dough. 7. Next, add gradually the multigrain flour while continuing to beat the dough with the mixer. 8. After about 5'-7', you will notice that the dough becomes one mass (lump) around the hook and has detached from the bowl. Stop the mixer! 9. The dough should be elastic, soft but not sticky! 10. Place the dough in an oiled plate or bowl. 11. Brush a bit of olive oil in the mixer's bowl or another deep bowl (you need it for the dough to have room to rise).

12. Move the dough in to the oiled bowl with your oiled palm. 13. Place a clean kitchen towel on top of the bowl with the dough. 14. Koulouri dough needs time to rest, but also for the yeast to activate and to help it rise. 15. For that, you could either place the covered dough near a warm source (like by a window near the sun or a radiator) or put it in the oven setting: “Dough Proving” like I did. 16. The dough needs 1h-1h30' to rise. B. Prepare the garnishing: 17. While waiting for the dough to rise, place together in a bowl the 3 kinds of seeds for garnishing the koulouria. 18. Mix them well with a spoon. 19. Reserve.

C. Prepare the coating: 20. Pour the ½ lt. water in a deep bowl. 21. Place the 2 tbsp. sugar in the water. Whisk them together until sugar is dissolved. 22. Reserve.

23. After a bit more than 1h, remove the kitchen towel from the bowl. 24. You will see that the dough has quadrupled in size. D. Instructions on making the Koulouri rings: 25. Bring the bowl with dough on a clean surface.

26. Pour and spread a bit of Olive oil on the flat surface that you will shape the rings. 27. With your oiled hand, remove the dough from the bowl, placing it onto the surface. 28. Shape the dough like a log.

29. Bring a knife next to the dough. 30. Divide the dough into 14-15 equal parts and shape them into balls. 31. Try making them all about the same size and weight of about 50-55 gr/ 1.75-1.9 oz. each. Correct the ones that are smaller or bigger! 32. Place all the small balls on one side.

33. Work with one small ball of dough at a time. 34. Roll it on the oiled surface until you get a long thin log about 1.5-hand spans.

35. Attach the 2 ends together to make a ring. 36. Bring bowl with water next to the ring, plus the bowl with mixed seeds and two large oven trays lined with parchment paper. 37. Place the ring in the water and submerge it for a couple of seconds. Then shake it to remove excess water.

38. Next bathe the wet ring in the bowl with mixed seeds until seeds stick all around it.

39. Place it on the lined oven tray, correcting its shape if it has somewhat spoiled.

40. Oil your surface again and continue with the rest of dough, repeating the process. 41. Use 2 large oven trays to avoid cramming the koulouria! 42. Here is one tray full (with 7 koulouria). Reserve for 20' to rise a bit more.

43. Continue with the second tray. 44. Second tray is also ready and the seeds are finished. Reserve it for 20' extra as well.

E. Baking instructions: 45. Bake both trays with Koulouria in a preheated oven FAN @190℃ / 375℉ for about 20'-22' or until they turn golden (depends on the oven). 46. Halfway through baking, turn both trays around and exchange their places so they can be evenly baked. 47. After about 22', remove both trays from the oven. 48. Place them on the kitchen top until they cool down.

49. Have a look at their wonderful crispy crust filled with seeds while fluffy on the inside!

50. And here are my delicious Koulouria all stacked up for the photos. As I mentioned, I make them smaller and thicker. You can make them larger and thinner if you prefer it!

51. They usually disappear very quickly so I am lucky to have taken the photos for you 😀!!

52. Fair warning:           53. Multigrain Koulouria are very addictive 😋😀⊚!! 

F. Serving Suggestions:   Multigrain Koulouri is best enjoyed fresh (baked the same day), as it quickly turns hard after a few hours of exposure. Multigrain Koulouria can replace bread and accompany any meal, so you can try eating one with the following: For Breakfast: Filled with homemade jam and served with Greek Ice Mountain Tea (check my separate recipe)!

For Lunch: You can serve multigrain Koulouria for lunch by cutting them in the middle and spreading butter and Kefalotyri or Graviera cheese. Perfect for school/work!!

For a fancier lunch, you can fill them with Shrimp Cocktail.

For Dinner: Serve them with a beautifully festive Pasta and Shrimps Salad (check my separate recipe) or anything really!

               G. Storing Info: If you can't consume them all in one day or you’re preparing ahead, wrap them individually and freeze them for max. 1 month. Take one out, leave it to reach to room temperature and then grill it for 2'; it will be as fresh and crispy as the day you baked it!! Try my recipe for healthy yet super delicious multigrain Koulouria for 100% success! H. Greece Travel Tip and history of Koulouri: Koulouri does not have a registered designation of origin but Thessaloniki seems to be the city claiming to be its birth place. Historians though trace koulouri’s origins back to the ancient times – taken from the ancient word “kollyra”, which was a type of round bread served to slaves. Koulouria were introduced by Greek refugees from Asia Minor who were flooding Thessaloniki through population exchanges between Turkey and Greece, bringing with them their culinary traditions. Later Koulouria came to Athens and other Greek cities as well. In Greece, nowadays, Koulouri vendors called Koulourtzides in Greek, are found mainly in places where a lot of people pass, like in the centre of big cities. They sell them either directly from their big baskets or out of glass, mobile displays. 

However, since Koulouria are so popular, nutritious and beloved, many Bakeries sell them as well, early in the morning, for people to buy them before heading to work. 

Lately, you can find a Koulouri in many different variations: plain, braided, twisted, multigrain, without sesame seeds, with tahini, whole wheat, with cheese, ham or even chocolate filling etc. Koulouri is very healthy and nutritious and one of the best sources of carbohydrates, proteins and other nutrients and energy, mainly due to its sesame seeds.

ΥΛΙΚΑ: Υλικά για τη ζύμη: 250 γρ / 9 oz / 2 φλ. Αλεύρι πολύσπορο 250 γρ / 9 oz / 2 φλ. Αλεύρι κατάλληλο για ψωμί ή Αλεύρι σκληρό, κοσκινισμένο Περίπου 300 ml / 1,2 φλ. Νερό χλιαρό 14-16 γρ / 0,5-0,6 oz / 2 κ.σ. Ξερή Μαγιά 36 γρ / 1,3 oz / 3 κ.σ. Κρυσταλλική Ζάχαρη 7 γρ / 0,3 oz / 1,2 κ.γ.

Ηλιόσποροι 60 γρ / 2,1 oz / 0,5 φλ. Κολοκυθόσποροι 60 γρ / 2,1 oz / 0,4 φλ. Λιναρόσποροι

ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ: Α. Ετοιμάστε τη ζύμη: 1. Ρίξτε το νερό στο μπολ του μίξερ και προσθέστε τη μαγιά. 2. Ανακατέψτε τα καλά να ενωθούν.

3. Αφήστε τα για 10' για να ενεργοποιηθεί η μαγιά. 4. Στη συνέχεια, ξεκινήστε το ηλεκτρικό μίξερ, χρησιμοποιώντας το γάντζο. 5. Σταδιακά ξεκινήστε να προσθέτετε το σκληρό αλεύρι, κουταλιά κουταλιά, χτυπώντας για να τα ενώσετε. 6. Στη συνέχεια, προσθέστε τις 3 κ.σ. ζάχαρη και το αλάτι μέσα στη ζύμη. 7. Συνεχίστε, προσθέτοντας σταδιακά το πολύσπορο αλεύρι ενόσω χτυπάτε ακόμα τη ζύμη.

8. Μετά από περίπου 5'-7', θα παρατηρήσετε ότι η ζύμη γίνεται μία μάζα γύρω από το γάντζο και έχει αποκολλήσει από το πάτο του μπολ του μίξερ. Σταματήστε το μίξερ! 9. Η ζύμη πρέπει να είναι ελαστική, μαλακή αλλά να μη κολλάει! Τοποθετήστε τη ζύμη σε ένα λαδωμένο μπολ. 10. Βάλτε λίγο ελαιόλαδο στο μπολ του μίξερ ή σε ένα άλλο βαθύ μπολ (αυτό χρειάζεται για να έχει η ζύμη πολύ χώρο να φουσκώσει).

11. Η ζύμη για τα Κουλούρια χρειάζεται τώρα χρόνο για να ξεκουραστεί, αλλά και για να ενεργοποιηθεί η μαγιά και να βοηθήσει στο να φουσκώσει η ζύμη. 12. Τοποθετήστε τη ζύμη στο λαδωμένο μπολ με τη λαδωμένη παλάμη σας. 13. Σκεπάστε το μπολ μια καθαρή πετσέτα κουζίνας. 14. Τώρα μπορείτε να τοποθετήσετε την καλυμμένη ζύμη κοντά σε μια ζεστή πηγή (όπως κοντά σε ένα παράθυρο στον ήλιο ή κοντά σε καλοριφέρ) ή να την τοποθετήσετε στο φούρνο με πρόγραμμα: "Φούσκωμα ζύμης" όπως έκανα εγώ. 15. Η ζύμη χρειάζεται 1h-1h 30' για να φουσκώσει. Β. Ετοιμάστε το γαρνίρισμα: 16. Ενώ περιμένετε να φουσκώσει η ζύμη, τοποθετήστε μαζί σε ένα μπολ τα 3 είδη σπόρων, που έχετε για να γαρνίρετε τα κουλούρια. 17. Ανακατέψτε τα καλά με ένα κουτάλι. 18. Βάλτε τα στην άκρη.

Γ. Ετοιμάστε την επικάλυψη: 19. Βάλτε το ½ λίτρο Νερό σε ένα μπολ. 20. Προσθέστε τις 2 κ.σ. ζάχαρη στο νερό. Ανακατέψτε τα καλά μέχρι να διαλυθεί η ζάχαρη. Βάλτε το μπολ στην άκρη.

21. Μετά από λίγο παραπάνω από 1 ώρα, αφαιρέστε την πετσέτα κουζίνας από το μπολ. 22. Θα δείτε ότι η ζύμη έχει τετραπλασιαστεί σε μέγεθος. Δ. Οδηγίες για την κατασκευή των Κουλουριών: 23. Φέρτε τη ζύμη κοντά σε μια καθαρή, λεία επιφάνεια.

24. Απλώστε λίγο ελαιόλαδο με τα χέρια σας πάνω στην επιφάνεια που θα διαμορφώσετε τα κουλούρια. 25. Με το λαδωμένο χέρι σας, αφαιρέστε τη ζύμη από το μπολ, τοποθετώντας την πάνω στην επιφάνεια. 26. Διαπλάστε τη ζύμη σε ένα μακρύ κύλινδρο.

27. Φέρτε ένα μαχαίρι δίπλα στη ζύμη. 28. Διαιρέστε τη ζύμη σε 14 ίσα μέρη και κατόπιν διαμορφώστε τα σε μπάλες. 29. Προσπαθήστε να τα φτιάξετε όλα το ίδιο μέγεθος και βάρος, περίπου 50-55 γρ / 1.75-1.9 oz το καθένα. Διορθώστε τις μπάλες που είναι μικρότερες ή μεγαλύτερες! 30. Βάλτε όλες τις μπάλες σε μια άκρη.

31. Δουλέψτε με μια μικρή μπάλα ζύμης κάθε φορά. 32. Ανοίξτε την πάνω στην λαδωμένη επιφάνεια μέχρι να έχετε ένα μακρύ λεπτό κύλινδρο, που να είναι περίπου 1,5 σπιθαμή.

33. Ενώστε τις δύο άκρες μαζί για να φτιάξετε ένα δακτυλίδι-κουλούρι. 34. Φέρτε το μπολ με το νερό δίπλα στο κουλούρι, καθώς και το μπολ με το μίγμα από σποράκια και δύο μεγάλες λαμαρίνες φούρνου ντυμένες με αντικολλητικό χαρτί. 35. Τοποθετήστε το κουλούρι μέσα στο νερό και βυθίστε το για μερικά δευτερόλεπτα. Μετά τινάξτε για να απομακρύνετε το περίσσιο νερό.

36. Στη συνέχεια, βυθίστε το υγρό κουλούρι στο μπολ με τα σποράκια και γυρίστε το γύρω γύρω, μέχρι να κολλήσουν παντού. 

37. Τοποθετήστε το κουλούρι στη λαμαρίνα, διορθώνοντας το σχήμα του εάν έχει κάπως χαλάσει.

38. Αν χρειαστεί, λαδώστε ξανά την επιφάνεια που δουλεύετε και συνεχίστε με την υπόλοιπη ζύμη, επαναλαμβάνοντας τη διαδικασία. 39. Χρησιμοποιήστε 2 λαμαρίνες για να αποφύγετε να κολλήσουν μεταξύ τους τα κουλούρια! 40. Να η μια λαμαρίνα γεμάτη (με 7 κουλούρια). Βάλτε τη στην άκρη για 20' για να φουσκώσουν τα κουλούρια λίγο ακόμα.

41. Συνεχίστε με τη 2η λαμαρίνα. 42. Η 2η λαμαρίνα είναι τώρα έτοιμη και τελείωσαν και τα σποράκια. Κρατήστε την για επιπλέον 20'.

Ε. Οδηγίες ψησίματος: 43. Ψήστε τις δύο λαμαρίνες με Κουλούρια μαζί, σε ένα προθερμασμένο φούρνο στον ζεστό αέρα @ 190℃ / 375℉ για περίπου 20'-22' ή μέχρι να ροδίσουν (εξαρτάται από το κάθε φούρνο). 44. Στα μισά του ψησίματος, γυρίστε και τους δύο δίσκους μπρος-πίσω και ανταλλάξτε τις θέσεις τους ώστε να μπορούν να ψηθούν ομοιόμορφα. 45. Μετά από περίπου 20'-22' αφαιρέστε και τις δύο λαμαρίνες από το φούρνο. 46. Τοποθετήστε τις πάνω στο πάγκο της κουζίνας μέχρι να κρυώσουν.

47. Ρίξτε μια ματιά πόσο τραγανή κρούστα έχουν τα πολύσπορα κουλούρια ενώ στο εσωτερικό τους είναι ακόμα αφράτα!

48. Και εδώ είναι τα λαχταριστά Κουλούρια μου στοιβαγμένα για τις φωτογραφίες.

49. Όπως ανέφερα, τα κάνω μικρότερα και παχύτερα. Μπορείτε να τα κάνετε μεγαλύτερα και πιο λεπτά, αν προτιμάτε! 50. Συνήθως εξαφανίζονται πολύ γρήγορα, οπότε είμαι τυχερή που έβγαλα τις φωτογραφίες για εσάς 😀 !!

51. Δίκαιη προειδοποίηση: 52. Τα Πολύσπορα Κουλούρια είναι πολύ εθιστικά 😋😀⊚ !!

Ζ. Προτάσεις σερβιρίσματος: Τα Πολύσπορα Κουλούρια απολαμβάνονται καλύτερα φρέσκα (φτιαγμένα την ίδια μέρα), επειδή γρήγορα γίνονται σκληρά μετά από λίγες ώρες έκθεσης. Τα Πολύσπορα Κουλούρια μπορούν να αντικαταστήσουν το ψωμί και να συνοδεύσουν οποιοδήποτε γεύμα, οπότε μπορείτε να δοκιμάσετε ένα κουλούρι με τα ακόλουθα! Για πρωινό: Γεμίστε το με σπιτική μαρμελάδα και σερβίρετε το με Ελληνικό Παγωμένο Τσάι του βουνού (κοιτάξτε τη ξεχωριστή συνταγή μου)!

Για μεσημεριανό γεύμα: Μπορείτε να σερβίρετε πολύσπορα Κουλούρια για μεσημεριανό γεύμα κόβοντάς τα στη μέση και απλώνοντας βούτυρο και Κεφαλοτύρι ή Γραβιέρα. Ιδανικά για σχολείο / δουλειά!

Για ένα πιο φανταχτερό γεύμα, μπορείτε να τα γεμίσετε με Γαρίδες κοκτέιλ (κοιτάξτε τη ξεχωριστή συνταγή μου).

Για δείπνο: Σερβίρετε Πολύσπορα Κουλούρια με μια υπέροχα γιορταστική Σαλάτα με Μακαρόνια και γαρίδες (κοιτάξτε τη ξεχωριστή συνταγή μου) ή οποιοδήποτε άλλο πιάτο!

Η. Πληροφορίες φύλαξης: Εάν δεν μπορείτε να τα καταναλώσετε όλα σε μια μέρα ή θέλετε να τα ετοιμάσετε από πριν, τυλίξτε τα ατομικά και βάλτε τα στη κατάψυξη για max. 1 μήνα. Βγάλτε τα ένα ένα έξω, αφήστε να φτάσουν σε θερμοκρασία δωματίου και έπειτα ζεστάνετε τα στη τοστιέρα για 2'. Θα είναι τόσο φρέσκα ​​και τραγανά όσο τη μέρα που τα ψήσατε!! ​Δοκιμάστε τη συνταγή μου και σας υπόσχομαι, θα έχετε 100% επιτυχία και θα σας μείνουν αξέχαστα!

Θ. Τουριστικός Οδηγός Ελλάδας και ιστορία του κουλουριού: Το Κουλούρι δεν έχει ονομασία προέλευσης, αλλά η Θεσσαλονίκη φαίνεται να είναι η πόλη που ισχυρίζεται ότι είναι η γενέτειρά του. Οι ιστορικοί πάντως εντοπίζουν την προέλευση των κουλουριών από την αρχαιότητα - από την αρχαία λέξη "Κολλύρα", που ήταν ένα είδος στρογγυλού ψωμιού που σερβίρανε στους δούλους. Τα Κουλούρια ήρθαν στη Θεσσαλονίκη από Έλληνες πρόσφυγες της Μικράς Ασίας με την ανταλλαγή πληθυσμού μεταξύ Τουρκίας και Ελλάδας, φέρνοντας μαζί τους τις μαγειρικές τους παραδόσεις. Αργότερα τα Κουλούρια ήρθαν και στην Αθήνα και σε άλλες Ελληνικές πόλεις. Στην Ελλάδα, σήμερα, οι Κουλουρτζήδες βρίσκονται κυρίως σε μέρη όπου περνούν πολλοί άνθρωποι, όπως στο κέντρο των μεγάλων πόλεων. Τα πουλάνε είτε απευθείας από τα μεγάλα τους καλάθια είτε από καρότσια μέσα από γυάλινη βιτρίνα.

Ωστόσο, επειδή τα Κουλούρια είναι τόσο δημοφιλή, θρεπτικά αλλά και τόσο αγαπημένα, πολλά αρτοποιεία τα πωλούν επίσης νωρίς το πρωί, για να τα αγοράζουν οι άνθρωποι πριν πάνε στη δουλειά τους.

Τον τελευταίο καιρό μπορείτε να βρείτε Κουλούρια σε πολλές διαφορετικές παραλλαγές: απλά, πλεγμένα, στριφτά, πολύσπορα, χωρίς σουσάμι, με ταχίνι, ολικής, με τυρί, ζαμπόν ή ακόμα και με γέμιση σοκολάτας. Το Κουλούρι είναι πολύ υγιεινό και θρεπτικό και μια από τις καλύτερες πηγές υδατανθράκων, πρωτεϊνών και άλλων θρεπτικών ουσιών και ενέργειας, κυρίως λόγω του σουσαμιού ή των άλλων σπόρων που χρησιμοποιούνται.

My Chemical Romance Announces Potential US and Canadian Tour Dates

What a wonderful day to crawl on the floor and disintegrate into a pile of ash while the wind picks you up from your deformed state and sweeps you out a window. Doesn’t that sound lovely? No? Well, how about this: imagine waking up one day, and it’s a perfectly average day, but something is off. There’s something in the air that doesn’t quite sit right within your psyche. So you, as the ever so active being of the internet age, decide to check online. Maybe something happened since you last logged on? Oh, would you look at that, My Chemical Romance did something. What did they do exactly? Who knows, honestly—but let’s find out together.

Just earlier today, My Chemical Romance released a video onto all of their social medias. The video was similar to their former cryptic video, that featured black and white sigils, but this time there were new images alongside unseen sigils. It’s hard to tell exactly what the images shown are, due to their disfigured and pixelated nature, but there were two images that I could personally pick out.

This image seem to show, from the coloring and the general look of the photo, their danger days mascot/fursona, “Mousekat.” The image would make sense if you pair it with the desert video they’ve posted before. Though I’m not sure what the image’s significance is.

Another image that was manageable to see was the picture of two people standing in front of a cross. To me, it looks like the demolition lovers that were seen on the cover of their second studio album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. This theory is supported by the white—potential wedding—dress that the female is seen to be wearing. These were unfortunately the only decipherable images in the video.

Now onto the sigils, which hold much more weight than they give off. One MCR fan quickly decoded the mysterious sigils and found out that they represented cities in the United States and Canada. Which are presumably going to be where the band will tour, though the details on when have yet to have been disclosed.

The locations that were mentioned:

1. Los angeles, California

2. Toronto, Canada

3. Detroit, Michigan

4. Dallas, Texas

5. St. Paul, Minnesota

6. Sunrise, Florida

7. Denver, Colorado

8. Chicago, Illinois

9. Brooklyn, New York

10. Sunrise, Florida (repeat)

11. Denver, Colorado (repeat)

12. Chicago, Illinois (repeat)

13. Brooklyn, New York (repeat)

14. Atlanta, Georgia

15. Sacramento, California

16. Boston, Massachusetts

17. Newark, New Jersey

18. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

19. Tacoma, washington

20. Los angeles, California (repeat)

21. Toronto, Canada (repeat)

22. Detroit, Michigan (repeat)

23. Dallas, Texas (repeat)

24. St. Paul, Minnesota (repeat)

Deciding that the fans hadn’t suffered enough for one day, the band also released another video onto their youtube channel just hours ago. The video is simply titled “MCRXX.” In 54 second video we see what looks to be a younger person putting on their shoes and jacket. Their face is not seen. We then see them put on a cloak, identical to the one we’ve seen worn by the skeleton person, and conceal the room of light. The person then lights some candles and sits in front of a pentagram, where each tip seemingly has a My Chemical Romance album placed on-top of it. On the lower half of the pentagram sits a ouija board, commonly used to contact spirts. The cloaked person nervously uses the ouija board, and opens a realm to another world filled with unknown beings. Though, they make a grave, but subtle mistake—they briefly removed their fingers from the planchette. Which is a forbidden act known by anyone that has used a ouija board. The video then cuts to a black screen that tells the viewer, “Wednesday, January 29, 8:35 AM Pacific,” under it links both the band’s Youtube channel and official website, with the hashtag “#MCRXX.” What lies for tomorrow is unknown, as of now, but I’ll keep you updated as the mystery unfolds.

As always, theories are appreciated if you have any to offer.

1. If you found a baby turtle on the side of the road, would you pick it up and keep it? >> If I found a baby of any species on the side of the road, I’m not going to pick it up and keep it, I’m going to call the appropriate authorities and let them handle it.

1. What previews did you see at the last movie you saw in theaters? I don’t even remember dude. I do remember the last movie I saw in the cinema was Knives Out, but we were too late to see the previews and arrived exactly when the movie started. The movie I saw before that wasssssss Portrait of a Lady on Fire, but that was so long ago I definitely don’t remember the previews that showed beforehand – or if there were any, at all. 2. Have you ever washed your hair with mayonnaise? Ok I love mayonnaise, but that shit goes in my mouth and not anywhere else in my body lmao. 3. How many things are you a fan of on Facebook? I stupidly liked so many pages when I was 14 and new to Facebook...it must be in the hundreds. I think I still like most of them, but I’m just too lazy to unlike each of them. 4. Do you have more friends on Myspace or Facebook? Facebook is a sure winner here because I don’t even have a Myspace.

5. What generation iPod do you have? I don’t know...it’s an iPod from 2008, though. The really thin one that comes with games, and the screen is already colored. 

6. What celebrities share your birthday? James McAvoy and Queen Elizabeth II are the biggest names I think. I Googled to confirm anyway and it turns out I share a birthday with Iggy Pop too. Pretty diverse group lmao. 7. What's your first and last name spelled backwards? Nybor, and that’s all you’re getting now. 8. What song is playing at the moment? No song, just two electric fans whirring loudly here in the first floor, and my sister watching a playthrough of some game she’s into on YouTube. 9. Do you clench your teeth when you're angry? Ugh no. I hate the feeling/texture/sound of grinding my teeth. I find it a little disturbing and I wince when I hear someone doing it in their sleep :/ 10. Have you ever been to a movie that sold out? Yeah, Killing of A Sacred Deer was surprisingly sold out when we watched it. Then again we were in the part of the city where people are more likely to watch films like that, so maybe it’s not that surprising after all. Other movies I remember being sold out was the entire Twilight Saga HAHAHA. I went to 4/5 midnight screenings and the cinema was packed every time.

11. Have you ever been to a midnight movie? ^ Just mentioned it. 12. It's 2010; are you gonna say oh-ten, twenty ten, or two thousand ten? I always say twenty-ten. 13. How many of your classes change next quarter? Next semester? I graduate next semester...hopefully.

Only ghosts. 15. How old are the shoes you're wearing? I’m barefoot at the moment. I haven’t been outside in a WHILE, so I haven’t had to wear shoes in a while as well. 16. What's your state's weather usually like this time of year? The Philippines is a relatively tiny country so our weather from the northernmost to southernmost tips are uniform. That being said, March to June is our summer season so the *country’s weather is very humid and excruciatingly hot for now. Temperature usually plays around 34-37C, but the heat index can reach 42C. 17. Do you get those leg cramps in the middle of the night? I used to get them quite often as a kid - it would wake me up at 4 AM and I’d usually be crying by the end; I couldn’t scream because I never wanted to wake everyone up, so I’d just cry until it was over. 18. What movie last made you too scared to go to sleep? Midsommar didn’t make me too scared to sleep, but for a short time it made me terrified of flowers and the color white. 19. Do you have a Twitter account? Sure. 20. Did Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize he was awarded? Oh he won it? That’s pretty cool. I dunno enough about his presidency other than he seems to be ~hipper than all the other US presidents and is generally more well-loved, but I don’t want to make a stand so hastily. 21. Is your cell phone a qwerty (full keyboard) or no? Yeah, touchscreen qwerty. 22. What was the last website you logged onto (besides the one you're on)? WWE Network!!! Just today they announced that they were gonna give free access to the Network, which means thousands of hours’ worth of pay-per-views, shows, and documentaries. I made a WWE account just for it and I’ve already downed two documentaries this morning. 23. What's your home page? It’s a Google Chrome extension called Momentum. I’m too lazy to describe the features so I’ll just show you what it looks like when I open Chrome/a new tab.

24. Put a line from the song you're listening to right now: I’m not listening to a song rn but I do have everything i wanted by Billie Eilish stuck in my head for a few minutes now. A lyric goes: I had a dream / I got everything I wanted / Not what you’d think / And if I’m being honest, it might’ve been a nightmare / To anyone who might care.

25. Music artists you listen to: Are they a little or a lot older than you? They’re typically close to my age, like maybe 4-10 years older than me. The oldest artist I listen to is probably Beyoncé? 26. What always has to be in the refrigerator? For us, eggs. 27. What was your favorite movie of 2009? The Proposal. 28. What do you want for Christmas? That’s sort of a long way from now, dude. By that time I’d have grown a bit and will probably ask for a vacuum cleaner lmaaaaao. 29. If you could go to three places in the world right now: UPTC, Feliz, and a Starbucks. I just want to be out of my actual village – I don’t even want to go anywhere far after this. 30. How many days until your birthday? I was too lazy to do math but Google says it’s 28 days away. 31. Who are you crushing on right now? (Famous or not, it's your call.) Gabie, Kristen Stewart, and Lee Joo Youngggggg. 32. Do you squish bugs or put them in a glass and let them outside? I squish them especially if they’re being annoying, soz. 33. Do you have split ends? I recently got my hair done, so no.

34. Isn't it ridiculous that movie theaters sell hot dogs and nachos? It is pretty stupid considering they’re messy food and you’ll have to eat them in a really dark room. Where I’m from they allow any kind of food in the theatres, so we aren’t restricted to hotdogs and nachos. My go-to food is Potato Corner french fries, since they’re easy to pick up and would never have a strong smell, or make a noise or a mess. 35. What school subject do you absolutely fail at? I don’t think I ever got past an 85 in chemistry in high school. 36. When you're on a laptop, do you hook up a mouse or use the touchpad? I have a touchpad. I’ve never owned a mouse. 37. When's the next day(s) off you'll get at school? Literally right now until April 14th. It’s a lockdown, dude. 38. If you're learning a language, what year are you in? I’m not. My curriculum doesn’t require me to take language electives. I did take Spanish and Korean in Duolingo in the past out of boredom/curiosity, though. I lasted a few levels into Spanish because of its similarities with Filipino, but they have like a million verb tenses and that’s when it got too much for me. Korean was pretty difficult right from the start. 39. Do you think you're done growing or will you grow a couple more inches? Nah, this is it I think. 40. What's your mom's mom's name? Agnes. 41. Do you replace "and" with an ampersand (&)? No, it looks so informal to me. 42. What do you usually get at school for lunch? I don’t have a usual lunch; it depends on what we have at home, because I typically just bring food from home to school. 43. Have you ever encountered a creepy neighbor? I don’t think so. If I did, my brain probably blocked the memory already. 44. How many texts can your phone's inbox hold before it's too full? As far as I know it doesn’t have a limit and just depends on my phone’s overall capacity.   45. Do you like the foam soap or the liquidy soap? I use a liquidy one, so I’ll go with that. 46. Do you like the automatic sinks or the ones with hot and cold handles? Lmao, first of all our country’s not even rich enough for this question. We just have a basic sink. We get whatever temperature is available and we need to turn a knob to have the water running. 47. What day did/does your birthday fall on this year? It’ll fall on a Tuesday, which suckssss because it’s a weekday and I have weekly Tuesday meetings for this semester. It’s also the first week out of the coronavirus lockdown, and I doubt people will even be paying attention to birthdays by then. 48. Do you tend to lean towards bright colors or more subtle colors? Subtle ones. 49. Do you use British spelling even though you're not British? No. 50. Name the farthest/weirdest/most unique place you've ever been: Farthest: Bali, Indonesia Weirdest: There was this park in Palawan that just didn’t fit with the city’s atmosphere at all lmao. Let me look it up... Baker’s Hill. It had tons of vibrantly-colored figurines, decorations peppered with cheesy pick-up lines, and Valentine’s decor (hearts, streamers, etc) spread all over the place. I couldn’t understand what it was supposed to be and it was a surreal experience overall lol. Most unique: Sagada. It didn’t feel like I was in the Philippines for the 3 days I was there.

Boy, was this a night at work.

Background: A little over a week ago, I expressed concern to my boss about a frequent guest. He tends to just “hang out,” moving from machine to machine every so often, but not actually playing them. He carries a voucher so it LOOKS like he’s going to play, sometimes even puts it in the machine, only to cash out that same money 15 minutes later without playing. Meanwhile, he’s just texting people.

Basically, my thought was that he’s moving from time to time to walk around the casino and look for credits that were left on machines (a lot of people will walk away from 15-20¢ if it’s not enough for another bet on that machine).

Then, a week ago today, one of our off-duty employees was playing a machine. They got up to get a soda from our beverage bar, and when they came back they saw this guest cashing out their money (around $17), and then the guest booked it.

So we, of course, made the decision to 86 him for 72 hours the next time we saw him (any longer than that can only be done by the owner of the casino).

On the 20th, he came in during the afternoon and was served a 72-hour notice of trespass, and told that if he came into the casino during that time, he would be arrested and charged with trespassing.

Guess who came in at 12:30 this morning, about 35 hours into the 72-hour ban?

The rest of the details below the cut so I don’t take up your whole dashboard.

You guessed it, the thief. He said hello to me by name, so I said hello back to him by name, then headed to the office to call the Sheriff’s Office.

The dispatcher told me they had just been on another call about the same guy -- he’s been permanently 86′d from another nearby casino, and had been in there, so their security called the Sheriff’s Office to have deputies remove him -- but they didn’t have him arrested.

When the deputies arrived, they were NOT happy with me. They thought that we were part of the same company and that I was calling for the same reason -- in their words, to use Sheriff’s Deputies as my own private security to remove a problem from the building for me.

I explained that we were different companies, and that I was actually requesting the person’s arrest. The cops were a little nicer to me after that. I explained the situation from the company’s point of view (”He was 86′d for 72 hours at 1:17pm on January 20th, it’s now 12:30am on the 22nd, meaning he’s violating his trespass notice”). Then we started to walk towards the guest (I had met the deputies at a place in the casino where the guest couldn’t see them, but I could see him to see if he got up). I stepped aside to let the deputies approach first, and the Sergeant (as one of the other deputies called him -- I don’t know stripes on uniforms) said, “No, you first. You’re the one placing him under arrest.

I didn’t know that.

Turns out this was a citizen’s arrest with backup (or, as one of the forms I had to fill out referred to it, a “private party arrest”). 

The deputies placed the no-longer-guest in handcuffs and asked me to go with them outside to fill out paperwork. The whole time, the guy is begging me not to have him arrested, but...our workplace policy is VERY clear on this (well, it refers to permanently 86′d guests and says nothing about what to do if a temporarily 86′d guest comes back so I followed the same policy as a permanent 86 since his temporary 86 was still active). And while I was a bit shaky (the cops telling me that I was arresting him threw me off my game), I explained that he knew exactly why he had been 86′d in the first place, and that he hadn’t even stayed away for half the time, so I had to do it. Then he appealed to the deputies, saying “I just got out of prison two months ago” (he is -- or at least was -- a drug dealer, which is why it bothered me so much to see him texting people all night and coming and going from the casino all the time).

If I would have known it was going to be about 20 minutes outside with the deputies while they frisked the guy (pretty thoroughly, too), logged and bagged his possessions, and put him in the back of the police truck, I would have grabbed a jacket.

Then came the paperwork. Thankfully, we got to go back inside to do that while one of the three deputies transported the thief to jail. Because when a deputy started putting paperwork on the bed of his truck, I reached in my pocket for my pen, and the K-9 in the truck must be trained to alert for that, because it started barking at me. I kept the pen in my hand, but kept my hands away from my pockets after that, and the dog calmed down.

Y’all, I was so shaky that I was having trouble with writing out my statement. My handwriting was terrible, but the deputy was able to read it. I had to fill out one form officially stating that I had placed the individual under arrest, and then I had to fill out a statement explaining why.

So I (more verbosely than I will do here) explained, on the form, the theft on January 15th, the Notice of Trespass being delivered to him on the afternoon of the 20th (I gave the deputies a copy of it with the date and time listed, as well as the duration), and that on the morning of the 22nd the guy re-entered the casino against our wishes.

I wanted copies of everything I had filled out in case the company wanted them, but I messed up. I got a copy of the 86 form for myself, I got a copy of the “I am placing this person under arrest” form, but...I didn’t realize until later that, with my mind going a mile a minute, I put my written statement into the copier’s document feeder upside down -- and didn’t realize until about an hour later that I copied the blank side of it. So I don’t have a copy of that.

Then I looked through the shift reports for the 15th (when the theft took place) and the 20th (when the guest was officially 86′d), and to my dismay, I saw no incident reports regarding any of it. I had written mine this morning, because it’s not like I just CAN’T TELL THE OWNER OF THE CASINO THAT I ARRESTED SOMEONE THIS MORNING IN MY ROLE AS MANAGER. My boss likes me to NOT send incident reports if the owner “really doesn’t need to know,” but...I ARRESTED SOMEONE AS AN AGENT OF THE COMPANY, so the owner kind of NEEDS to know this.

So I was stressed. What if there was no report filed about the original theft, because the boss decided the owner “didn’t NEED to know?” What if the owner had no idea about any of this, and the first thing he hears is from me, having arrested someone he had no idea was even an issue? I was expecting some difficult email exchanges during which I would definitely be able to explain myself, but worried that I may be throwing other managers under the bus for not filing reports when I sent mine.

Fortunately, the day shift manager who relieved me today was on duty when the original theft happened, and assured me that he DID INDEED file a full report on the situation, including the fact that the guest would be 86′d the next time we saw him.

That set my mind WAY at ease.

And while I was writing this, I heard back from the owner, with a message essentially saying, “Hey, good job on handling this situation.” So he DID know about it, and he was happy with me taking care of business to get this guy out of our casino.

The one thing: the cops told the guy that he’s “never” allowed back in our casino. That’s...not technically true. As of January 23rd (tomorrow) at 1:18pm, he is allowed to be there. But I wasn’t ABOUT to tell him or the cops that. If he’s under the impression that he’s permanently 86′d and knows that we’ll arrest him (or at least that I’LL arrest him) if that’s the case, he can stay out as far as I’m concerned.

But, considering the fact that he had just been in another casino that had already permanently 86′d him, he may be back.

But I did send the owner an email back thanking him for his praise, and also corrected an address thing on the thief’s part (he lives on a Lane, not an Avenue as I originally stated). I pointed it out because I’ve never sent someone to jail for violating a trespass notice before, and MAYBE this is the one thing that would get him permanently 86′d. And if that DOES happen, we would send the official permanent trespass notice via registered mail, so I want to make sure the owner (who would be the one signing the letter) has the correct address. The Post Office is picky around here.

White Day 2019

Alrightty folks, it’s that time of the year again for my favorite holiday, WHITE DAY. Yes, again this year I have worked hard. I have spent the past several months meticulously crafting relationships, exceeding expectations, and perfecting my winged eyeliner and TODAY is the day that it all pays off. I made heart-shaped cookies for Valentine’s day again this year and coupled them with a personalized, hand-o-made-o heart-shaped cards of about the same size. As is the tradition, I will log the events of the day in real time as they happen. I am absolutely buzzing because I have high expectations and a good feeling about them.

Speaking of expectations, here is the forecast for White Day 2019:

Low chance of gifts from the English teachers as Vancouver sensei tends to forget and EPS tends to not care, BUT I WOULDN’T MIND BEING PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.

Will this be the third year in a row that I don’t receive a gift from my friend Dekashita sensei? PROBABLY.

Big hype for the third year teachers since we’re all buddies.

As a general rule, I think it is safe to expect gifts from all the teachers who have their Valentine on display.

Feeling confident that I will get gifts from a few teachers, like sumo sensei and softball sensei, since they have been consistent the past two years. Let’s see if this trend keeps up.

Shimichan is a bit of a wildcard this year, and I feel like he could go either way. What will happen? No one knows!

I was thinking to myself yesterday, “Lolen, what if your expectations are too high? What if, god forbid, you don’t receive ANY gifts?” The thought gave me a chuckle. There is no way. I am Lolen, the Beloved. I am a goddamn gaijin goddess and gifts WILL BE bestowed upon me on this day.

Wednesday, March 13th, 2019 – THE DAY BEFORE WHITE DAY

1:45 pm –I was caught off-guard while eating my lunch when a teacher has come over to give me my first white day gift! How delightful, I think, as I try to thank the teacher with a mouthful of salad. This is not my cutest moment.

Thursday, March 14th, 2019 – WHITE DAY 2019

8:25 am – I have arrived at school at precisely the time I am expected to. 

What they see: a beautiful blonde waltzing in to the teacher’s room. My hair looks good, eyeliner is looking sharp and, oh, could it be? Yes…! Her outfit even matches her nails! 

What they don’t know: ya girl stayed up too late watching Netflix the night before so she’s running off 5 hours of sleep and literally ran to catch the bus this morning. She is beauty, she is grace, she is out of breath. 

8:27 am – I reach my desk and sit down. There are four additional gifts that weren’t here before. This brings the total so far to five, before the bell has even rung! I have confidence that this will be a bountiful harvest.

8:35 am – There is a shuffle as teachers begin to get up and go to their first period homeroom class. Within the chaos, I feel a tap on my back. I turn around and, heavens to Betsy, can it be?? I can hardly believe my eyes that it is actually Dekashita sensei giving me a bag of chocolate! The two year curse has been lifted and my soul can finally be at peace.

8:45 am – Sumo sensei has just come over and dropped a literal handful of chocolate on to my desk. I will award an A for intent, but I have to give a C for execution because come on, my dude, at least put them in a lil baggy or something. Regardless, choco is choco and I will accept your offering graciously.

9:01 am – I have just received two more gifts within a few moments from each other; one from the teacher who sits behind me and the other from softball sensei. So far my predictions have been accurate…will EPS and Vancouver sensei defy my expectations and come through with gifts?? It’s the question on everyone’s mind!

9:07 am – In an interesting turn of events, one of the female P.E. teachers has just given me a gift! This sets a precedent for the women here at school, I am now expecting chocolate tokens of friendship from everyone.

9:50 am – My lovely supervisor came over to give me a little baggie of white day treats! A+ execution from an A+ supervisor, 10/10.

10:32 am – The morning is swiftly passing by. Currently, I have eleven gifts but I haven’t received any more in some time now and I am wondering if this may be it for me this year. There are a few teachers that I have been lowkey watching all morning to see if they will make their move. Like a cat in the shadows, I wait.

10:39 am – JUST as I was about to abandon hope, I am approached by the cute married teacher (he’s cute, he’s married, alas) and handed a nicely boxed gift. Extra bonus points since he spoke to me in English. I didn’t even know he spoke English, today is full of surprises.

10:50 am – I am rereading my post from last year. Boy, what a wild time 2018 was! But, I am noticing that amount of gifts I am receiving and the time at which I am receiving them is REMARKABLY SIMILAR. At 10:35 am last year, I also had 12 gifts. Everything is going according to plan.

10:55 am – Bobsled sensei has just given me a gift! As an interesting note, he has opted to give cookies as opposed to a more traditional chocolate confection. On second thought, this really isn’t all that interesting.

11:04 am – One of the female English teachers just came over to give me a very cute heart-shaped cake sort of thing. I have decided that this will be the first item I eat when the time comes.

11:25 am – I have fourteen gifts now. I am wondering if, out of all the teachers, I have the most gifts. I know it *shouldn’t* be a competition but I am absolutely *treating* it like one in the deepest narcissistic pit of my heart. I think I will walk around the teacher’s room later and take some cheeky peeks at the other teachers’ desks.

11:40 am – Another female P.E. teacher just gave me a nice gift, complete with an English note of appreciation! I seem to have made some new friends in the P.E. department with my cookies this year. Exciting times!

11:45 am – Oh, these are exciting times, indeed! Just now, I have received a gift from Kocho sensei, also known as the principal. Based on his status as principal-sama, I expect that these chocolates must be of the highest kocho quality. This brings my total now to 16. At this point, I am projected to top my number from last year.

11:55 am – I have not seen EPS all day, despite him being here today. Should I call the police? Send out a search party? I’m worried that he is lost or dead. Actually, he is dead. Dead to me until he gives me white day chocolates.

12:30 pm – Another gift from another P.E. teacher! It’s quite a large box as well. I seem to be popular with the P.E. department this year, with about 60% of the teachers reciprocating chocos. My hard work is paying off and my ROI is looking great.

12:35 pm – It’s time for lunch but I’m afraid to leave my desk in case someone steals one of my precious chocos. I feel a strange attachment to them, like a dragon jealously guarding her hoard. But alas—I must go, for I am hungry. Is it strange to go out and buy lunch when I probably have over $100 worth of gourmet chocolate on my desk? I make a mental note of exactly how many chocolates there are; I will not tolerate thieves!

1:45 pm – I’m back from lunch. All seems in order. I also used this opportunity to check out some other desks. I am the clear winner in this battle royale.

2:30 pm – It’s been quiet for a while now. BUT ACTUALLY, as I was typing this, another teacher came over to deliver a gift! CONFIRMED: I am a psychic.

3:30 pm – I was just beginning to think that the gift-getting might be finished, but to my surprise I have received another! It’s getting exhausting trying to keep track of all these gifts. Interesting note: despite all NINETEEN of the gifts that I have received today, I have yet to receive one from any of the male English teachers. Just so we are clear, there are FOUR of them. This must be what the sharp knife of betrayal feels like.

4:10 pm – I couldn’t wait any longer and I ate the heart-shaped cake sort of thing. It was a delicious choice. I also made the executive decision to put all of my snacks in my desk since 1.) I was running out of space on my desk and 2.) At this point it just looks like I’m bragging (I am). Furthermore, as I mentioned above, I have a zero tolerance theft policy and these are my loss-prevention measures.

4:12 pm – I ran out of space in my designated “snack drawer” so I had to take advantage of the space in my lesser-used “lesson plans” drawer.

4:15 pm – O shit waddup, ya girl is officially at TWENTY GIFTS!! My boi Shimichan pulled through in the homestretch. If I can get my-age amount gifts does that mean that this will be my golden year?

4:17 pm – Time is precious and there are only about 45 minutes left in the day. The guy in the office must have felt the minutes squeezing by, because he just came up and gave me gift number 21. There is still time for you, EPS!!

5:01 pm  – Well, it’s time to call it a day and head home. Overall, I have to say I am very pleased with the way this year turned out. Many of my predictions turned out to be true (LOOKING AT YOU, EPS), with the notable exception of Dekashita sensei who actually pulled through this year. Now all that’s left to do is to enjoy my snacks...all TWENTY ONE OF THEM!

5:30 pm – Just got home. Can’t wait to see what my real white date has in store for me tonight <3 

#white day #all my senseis #dekashita sensei out of the doghouse #evil pocket sensei i hate you #snacks for days #literal days #shota is the ichiban

<<Sigh>>

Have been wondering why my 3 cats aren’t out enjoying the sun much, and why one has taken to pooing in the bathroom overnight (grrr)

Then we spied a neighbouring tom cat spraying the fence and ground right outside our cat flap several times – looks as though the pooing cat is now frightened to go out much.

How do I get rid of this blinking tom cat? Any ideas – will citrus work. Needs to be something that then doesn’t stop my cats going out. And WHY don’t people neuter their cats FGS, it is infuriating.

Also, it has become obvious that we are going to have to rehome our cats when we move to NZ in September

(we’ve decided the trip just isn’t fair on them) – how on earth am I going to find a home for a cat who craps in the bathroom?

fullmoonfish Mon 01-May-06 16:51:57

Keep a couple of loaded water pistols to hand and squirt this tom (up the jacksy is fun) every time you see him. He will hopefully get the message. Not sure whether vitrus works or not, but another tip I read is to spray aftershave round the catflap (outside) to mark the territory of your biggest and most dominant inhabitant (ie you or your partner) No idea whether this works, sorry, but was suggested to me by a barkingly cat-mad friend of mine when I had similar prob. I found water worked best and was greatly satisfying too

Miaou Mon 01-May-06 17:07:48

oh ditto fmf – we keep a loaded supersoaker by the back door and have been known to blast at the offenders through the cat flap … hehehe very satisfying!

arfy Mon 01-May-06 17:26:21

ooh interesting about the aftershave – not sure anyone here believes that DH is the biggest and most dominant person round here but never mind. I have never heard that before! but possibly worth a try

noticed some water pistols in the supermarket yesterday, may go back and get one and then hang out by the cat flap. what fun!

arfy Mon 01-May-06 17:26:41

oh and where’s me manners? Thanks!

i dont think there is anything you can do about it.

Surfermum Mon 01-May-06 18:40:10

I looked into this as we had a problem with cats pooing in our garden. Apparently what you need to do is get some poo from a cat that’s bigger than the one doing the poo, such as a lion. Sorry that’s probably no help unless you’re on the doorstep of Longleat.

arfy Mon 01-May-06 18:42:18

ah yes, zoo poo

Thanks guys. Think I’m going to have to watch out for the bugger and then chuck some water over him. I feel really sorry for my cats, especially now I’ve got to look for new homes for them

. but also do not want cat crap in the bathroom and zoo poo outside the backdoor as the flat is going on the market in a couple of weeks!

twocatsonthebed Tue 02-May-06 19:03:43

two things that might also help…I had a similar problem a while back.

One is to really clean around the cat flap, as toms come back to spray where they have sprayed before. To get it really clean, you need to use biological washing powder, then wipe it down with surgical spirit, to get rid of any smells. This does work in the long run, but you might have to do it a few times.

The other is to get some Feliway from the vets (spray or a plug in airfreshner kind of thing) for your poor bullied cat – it’s a kind of cat pheremone which will calm them down and make them feel better (and hopefully stop them crapping in the bath!). Also, do they have a litter tray indoors – might be worth it for the short term.

HTH!

BadHair Tue 02-May-06 19:10:07

My cat is most definitely neutered and he sprays like a fire engine. It’s not always un-neutered cats that do it. Still annoying though.

tuppenceworth Tue 02-May-06 19:14:29

My sister has a tomcat that is coming into her house, spraying, getting the kittens pregnant (they’re too young to be neutured!) and then buggering off again!! (typical male?!)

A few weeks ago she caught him, put him in the cat basket and drove him 10 miles away. The cat was back two days after. She caught him again, drove him 20 miles away to the other side of Sheffield and the cooking fat (!!) still came back! It’s going to Aberdeen next time!

BettySpaghetti Tue 02-May-06 19:18:13

tuppenceworth -surely it’ll work out cheaper to take him to the vets to get his nads chopped off

Milliways Tue 02-May-06 19:18:31

My German SHepherd Dog happily clears the way of unwanted cats for our cat

I’m sure our cat lures them into our garden just to watch the fun!

arfy Tue 02-May-06 22:43:58

blimey tuppenceworth – what a nightmare!

Thanks everyone, and especially 2catsonthebed. I was hoping to get away with no litter tray as only one out of the the 3 is pooing indoors (and weeing in the bath – nice!) but think you right, might have to do it. Never heard of Feliway, will investigate – thanks for the tip

I didn’t realise neutered cats spray too – but this bugger is definitely a tom. grr

I feel your pain. All my cats are done, but other people around here refuse to spay their females, and the result is feral rapey tomcats yowling under our window all night, spraying all over our front step, and not being able to open our windows in summer or we get invaded and sprayed.

Getting a few dogs certainly helped…nasty toms won’t set foot in our back garden now…but the front garden is a different matter. Which is why I’m often seen haring down the garden path, barefoot, hair flying, broomstick in one hand and squirty water bottle in the other, yelling “FUCK OFF YOU RAPEY PISSYCATS, I MIGHT BE ALMOST VEGAN BUT I’LL HAVE YOUR PISSYBALLS AS EARRINGS YOU LITTLE WANKER”

Related. All the neighbours think I’m mad.

Squirty water bottle works though. For a while.

Artyfartygaga Sat 03-Jun-17 18:55:48

I feel your pain. Since my , really very lovely neighbor moved in next door (genuinely- not sarcasm), about a year ago with her bully -self admitted- cat, who is neutered, my two cats have changed their behaviour big time. One, I’m not so worried about, he seems to try to stand his ground but the other ( they’re brothers) is very obviously not handling the situation at all. Next door’s cat is spraying by the front door, shitting in the front garden and getting in the back and middle garden a lot. My son has seen him in our house. There is a smell of cat pee in the house all the time, although I’m constantly washing the carpets and furniture. We live in a row of tiny cottages. My poor boy that can’t cope has taken to crapping in the living room and by the outside doors- I believe this is called middening; a visual sign to mark their territory. To add to the problem, this poor, sweet boy is epilectic, on a fairly large scale- can fit even in his sleep- and he’s obviously really unhappy. I just don’t know what to do. Can’t keep them in as it would be unfair on his brother. It would be difficult to speak to my neighbour as I don’t see what she could possibly do about it. As it is I think she only lets him out when she’s home. So awkward. What can I do? Any positive advice please? I love my cats.

Artyfartygaga Sat 03-Jun-17 19:43:46

Epileptic. Has fits on an irregular basis. Can be 3 times a day or nothing ( that we’ve witnessed) for 3/4 weeks. Otherwise healthy and very lovely and calm and loving.

MandaBee66 Tue 27-Jun-17 07:37:59

I hope that’s a joke because it’s a disgusting thing to do!

MandaBee66 Tue 27-Jun-17 07:40:10

This is what a boy cat did to my poor girl cat! He came in the house to find her. If I find out who owns him they are getting a vets bill!
