It’s Valentines Day!

I wanted to do something sweet for all of my lovelies, so I made some chocolate for them! Of course I forgot to take pictures, so here are some googled pictures for you! (Unfortunately, my strawberries turned out muuuch uglier than these ones.)

I am a huge nerd and anime weeb, so I’ve always been interested in Japanese tradition. One of which is how they celebrate Valentines Day. In Japan, girls will give chocolates to the men in their life as a way to show that they appreciate them. (Below I included some more info on this)

So I ended up making some Nama Chocolate and some chocolate covered strawberries. The Nama Chocolate was really really bitter (what do you expect for using 70%/bitter sweet chocolate?) and while the friends absolutely loved it, I HATED it. But I also HATE dark chocolate, so theres that. 

I also panicked when I make the strawberries and worried that I was burning the chocolate, so I threw some heavy whipping cream in it... That... May have not been the best idea. I was told that they were tasty, but they looked soooooo ugly to me. So I threw on some blue sprinkles to try and make up for it. =D

And of course you know I gave some to Crush-Senpai.

Each “type” of chocolate has it’s own meaning.

Giri Choco is also known as “Obligation Chocolate”. Chocolate given to coworkers or class mates to basically say, “Hey, you are a person I know, and you’re not awful, or maybe even okay. So here.” These chocolates are usually cheaper, and my not be home made.

Tomo Choco is “Friend Chocolate”. This chocolate is given to your good guy friends as a way to celebrate the holiday and show them that you appreciate their company.

I feel like I have been away from Tumblr for wayyyyyy too long. I was having a lot of fun, and emotional moments typing stuff on here, so I was really sad with myself when I stopped. 

It had been a good way to track how I was feeling on my anti-depressants, and I noticed a correlation between me taking them and actively posting, and venting about my day, vs not taking them and staying in my head.

So while I’m currently not not them (only because of insurance issues and budgetary problems) I want to try and still find the courage and will to keep posting. 

However, I am actively working on getting everything fixed so I can start taking them again, and I might even talk to my doctor about also getting on anti anxiety. I will keep you updated. <3

Managed to make it out to board game night with Crush-Senpai last night. We ended up getting a group together to play a round of Fury of Dracula. 

It. Was. A blast. 

We were playing 2nd edition (which has some changes form 3rd ed I guess), and it was a ton of fun. We ran around the map hunting down Dracula so that we could go and punch his face in. Crush-Senpai played as the big bad himself, and there were a lot of close calls. While he was all stoic and calm, and looked like we were all playing directly into his hands, apparently on the inside he was like “SHIT SHIT FUCK SHIT THEY ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME JESUS!!!”

Aside from some water accidentally being spilled all over the board, it was a really good time. I hadn’t been to gaming in basically a month, so it was really pleasant to see everyone.

I have had soo much cake this last weekend.

Saturday was my birthday, and it was such a fun time! It started out a little rough, with a jerk face probably no longer friend bailing on me for like the 78th time. =/ BUT! The rest of my lovelies made up for it by taking me to sushi, hanging out and playing board games, watching tv, and ending the night with dancing and more board games!

Guess who’s back, back again!

So my iPod that I was using as a replacement phone couldn’t even download Tumblr. But the boyfriend is lending me his old phone (so no cell service, but I can connect to Wi-Fi at least), so yay! I can actually post things again!!

I tend to post during my down time on my bus ride, and the like, since I’m usually busy at home, unable to sit infront of a computer for any length of time.

But yes, yay!!

“Do you not speak English? I said come here.”

He reluctantly joins me on the other side of the counter. He has a look of suspicion on his face, not used to me making such commands.

“Now. Close your eyes.”

“Why?” He raises an eyebrow at me, and smirks.

“I said. Close. Your. Eyes.”

Finally he does, and I take a giant scoop of the freshly made whipped cream and quickly place it on his nose.

“Boop!”

I start laughing as he takes a quick step back and opens his eyes. He goes cross eyed as he registers what just happened. I giggle, taking in the moment.

“You’ve got something on your cheek.”

I wipe my cheeks fervently. “Where?”

“Right.... here!” He takes a scoop and wipes it on me.

This exchange continues until we are both covered in the whipped cream, leaving barely enough for the cake thats baking. He takes another scoop from the bowl, and aims for his next target. I open my mouth, teasingly. “I still haven’t had a taste~” I laugh.

Not one to be beaten, takes this moment to place his finger in my mouth, wiping the whipped cream on my tongue. It’s so sweet. I close my mouth around his finger, licking ever last morsel from the tip. Suddenly, his face turns bright red.

As does mine.

“Did... Did it taste good?”

My heart skips a beat. “Um. yeah. It’s really fluffy.”

He looks away for a second, calculating.

“Do.. do you.. want another taste? To see if it’s missing anything, of course.”

“Uh.. I mean.. Of course. to see if it needs more vanilla. Or something.”

He takes a small scoop, and this time places it directly on my tounge, but doesn’t pull his finger away. I carefully close my mouth around him, and move my tongue, wrapping it around his finger, not missing a single drop of that whipped cream.

Instead of removing his finger, he pushes it into my mouth slightly further. I start sucking on his finger, enjoying the salty taste of his soft skin. He carefully removes his finger, wipes a bit of cream from my face, and places his finger into his own mouth.

I may be the very drunk right now. So theres that.

Vodka is very good with lemonade.

So my phone exploded the other day. /cry

The bottom half of the screen was kind enough to wait until I got home from work before it decided to stop working. So for now I’m having to use my old iPod touch and wifi to try and do things. 

2018 has not been a good year so far.
