camping and stuff.
hey everybody. i just wanna say thanks to everybody that read my auto biography. i put alot of work into it and im really glad you read it. and to tim: i think your letting my problems get to u way to much, and i also want to say that maybe i did put too much into that bio, but its all the truth and im sorry if u dont like it. if u have had all these problems with me putting up my feelings, then why didnt you say something to me before?? well anyway... i left to go camping last friday. then iv spent the last 3 days with nobody but my family. on the first day we left around 7, and it was too late to set up camp, so we slept at my grandmas house (she lives by the campsite) then the next day we went to the camp and slept there, then the next day we came home. i didnt like it at all. i almost got in a fist fight with my slightly younger brother.. twice. he wouldnt quit messing with me and getting on my nerves. the worst part was not being able to have a second alone. i barley had any time to think. i brought my guitar with me so i wouldnt be bored, but then my guitar pick got lost when i slept on my grandmas couch. so then i couldnt even play it, and i was kinda pissed. then i got the idea to make a paper football and play with that, but it didnt realy work all that great. i could play alot of stuff, but not the really fun fast things. so i got kinda bored of that. but the good news is that on the way back we dropped my youngest brother david off at my grandmas house, and hes gonna stay there for a week. thats great cuz i dont have to watch him and i get to do what i want finnaly. well today i finaly went to kelleys house, for the first time since we broke up. iv seen her and talked to her a few times, but this is the first time i actually went there. i was nervous at first, but i got over it. when her dad saw me he looked suprised, lol. well i stayed there and talked to her for an hour. i also saw kirstan and pete, who live a few houses down. well pete is kirstans brothers friend, but me and him are friends anyway, and i havent seen either one of them since before i left for france. pete gave me a hug and swung me around, lol, hes alot bigger then me and it was kinda funny. well it was kinda like one big reunion. its nice that we can still be friends. well i was thinking "how exactly do they make marshmellows? so i decided to find out. heres a recipie from ask.com

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup water
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1: Sift the cornstarch and confectioners sugar into a bowl. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch-and-sugar mixture into it. Tilt the pan to coat the sides and the bottom. Leave any excess in the pan.

2: Sprinkle the gelatin into the water in a small saucepan and let soak for five minutes. Add the granulated sugar and stir over low heat until the gelatin and sugar dissolve.

3: In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the gelatin mixture, corn syrup, salt and vanilla and beat for 15 minutes on high speed, until peaks form.

4: Spread the fluffy mixture in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Leave for two hours or until set.

5: With a wet knife, cut the marshmallow mixture into quarters and loosen around the edges. Sprinkle the remaining cornstarch-and-sugar mixture on a baking sheet and invert the marshmallow blocks onto it. Cut each quarter into nine pieces and roll each one in the starch and sugar.

6: Place the marshmallows on a cake rack covered with paper towels and let them stand over night to dry the surface slightly. Store airtight; the marshmallows will keep for a month.

i would like to dedicate that recipie to THEusedChick11 becuase its something that i randomly brought up while i was talking to her, lol.

have a nice day.
