Tibs cake

Okay, I'm a bit slack that I haven't written about this yet - its been over a week! The companion cube cake was a success (not only did it look like the companion cube, its tasted like it it too!! Well. It tasted good. Thats close enough).
It seemed to be like the companion cube in every way... Square.... grey... weighted. The thing was bloody heavy!
We had some trouble with the icing slipping down the cake when it got too warm (hence in one of the photos two of the white parts are touching.... oops). The cake itself was layers of vanilla cake and strawberry cake. There was white chocolate and strawberry nesquick ganache holding it all together!
When I first typed ganache, I typed 'gnash', like how its pronounced. I was confused at first, because I KNEW that was the wrong spelling, yet spell check wasn't picking up on it....
I checked the computer dictionary, and gnash is when you grind your teeth together. Its an actual word.

How stupid.
This is the cakes WORST side, so please ignore the bad parts :) This photo is solely to show what it looked like in the inside!

The boy in the background is tibs brother. He loved the cake too.

Cat breading

I have recently discovered 'cat breading', thanks to The Edge radio station., and figured;
Why not?
So I got my cats and subjected them to becoming 'indbread'.
Floss didn't seem to mind so much - she kept eating the crumbs.

Munta on the other hand, didn't appreciate it very much at all (as you can see by his I HATE YOU facial expressions in the below pic. He was confused at first - he kept trying to go back to sleep but didn't understand why he could feel something pressing against his face whenever he lay down.
Either way, it was a pretty messy experience - too many crumbs! 
I'm not going to try bread my labrador Sinny, you couldn't get the bread within a meter of his face before he'd leap at it and gobble it all up!

Facepainting.

Oh yeah, form the other day that I talked about.
The teddy bears picnic was brilliant! I was painting straight from 9.30 until 1 - at one point I got up to go to the bathroom, and I couldn't walk properly because I'd been sitting in the exact same position for too long. And as I was walking to the bathroom, all the mothers in the face painting line were giving me dirty looks because I was making them wait longer to get they're kids faces done. WHAT BITCHES!
I got a few weird requests - my favourite was "I want to be a halloween pumpkin. A purple one".
I also got 'I want to be a blue cat'
'I want to be an octopus'
And like I got last year "I WANT TO BE A UNICORN". Like what? HOW? But this year I was prepared, I painted a unicorn on her face instead of making her one.
Anyway, I got lots of tigers, spidermans, flowers, only one batman and as per usual, I got ten thousand "I want to be a butterfly" - "what colour butterfly would you like to be?" - "PINK AND PURPLE" - "Would you like any glitter" - "PINK GLITTER".

I had some practice before hand, In Tibs face ..  :)

I also did I dragon, a fairy and a unicorn on his face, but for now I only have the tiger!

keyboard is FIXED

Okay, so I've been putting off a blog post (as usual, when I have nothing important to say) but this time its because I have recently broken the SPACE key in the keyboard... This was making it very difficult to type properly. You see, under the space key on my mac keyboard (mac! Whoooooooooooooohooo!) theres this little metal bar, that holds it onto the keyboard...
When I had the brilliant idea of cleaning my keyboard by pulling all the keys off, I broke the metal bar off it. This meant the space bar was very difficult to press.
If I wanted it to press space, I had to mentally prepare myself, then hit the keyboard. And, as you could imagine, that was INCREDIBLY annoying while I was typing out blog posts - considering I usually type quite fast, I just ignored my computer when it came to anything that required more that ten words.

Thankfully, I whined about this to my dad the other day, and he conveniently had another spare mac keyboard lying around the house - which is  even better than my last one! This ones FLAT.
When I used to live with dad I learnt to type brilliantly on these flat ones, they're so much easier.
The only thing is that if I grow my nails too long, then my fingers slip off the keys and I type with alot of extra letters than whats needed......


Either way, Im back now. I'll try to bully myself into writing about something thats remotely interesting - considering that my post had not point whatsoever.
Should probably get around to getting a new background sorted too. Im incredibly lazy (when Im not working my ass off doing other things).
I have been incredibly busy sorting out Tibs birthday presents...
I got him a bunch of cool stuff. And I'm making him a companion cube cake!!!!!! But don't tell him, because I know he never goes on facebook, and thats why its safe posting this on here, because its likely he'll never see it.
ALSO. Hes sitting right behind me right now - but hes too enveloped in playing some weird game on his DS. Speaking of games, I got him lego harry potter 2 on PS3 also, but that was kind of a selfish present, because I got it for him because we had so much fun playing the last one together!

Seriously. Harry potter. Omg.
