On being 13

I'm helping out in a computer lab right now where kids are playing games. 90% of them are playing Roblox. Looks like some kind of Lego game. Like a Lego version of Halo.

The best part is this kid next to me. He makes his own shooting noises, accompanied with violent motions as if he actually feels the back-kick of the gun.

 He is also constantly humming the Star Wars theme song. The song gets louder when he's about to attack, but is calm and soothing when he's running away from or fighting off bad guys.

I guess being 13 ain't that bad.

Aw snap, Mark Twain!

While reading Tom Sawyer today in class:

"Wait, is Tom talking to that blonde chick?"
"Yeah."
"Awww SNAP!"

I think they like it.

Sugar Lovers' Waffles

If you know me, you know I love sugar. I would put it on everything if I could. I also believe that ice cream improves any meal.

Out of the goodness of my heart, I will share with you my most sugary creation: The Sugar Lovers' Waffle!

For this you will need:

Waffle mix (and whatever the waffle mix tells you to do)

Cinnamon

Sugar

 Once you make the waffle mix like the box tells you, tell yourself, "I know what would make this better...Sugar!" After convincing yourself that that's what you need, dump in some cinnamon sugar to the mix. You can decide when enough is enough...

 Instead of looking peckish white, the mix will turn a nice light golden color with specks of cinnamon. 

 Cook your waffle on your waffle iron like normal. BUT, before it's done ADD MORE SUGAR! 

Open up the waffle iron when the waffle has just taken shape and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. 

Below you will see half the waffle without sugar and half WITH sugar:

 Apply the sugar to the entire waffle and close the iron again. 

As the waffle finishes cooking, the sugar will crystallize on the top. Depending on how long you leave the waffle cooking, the sugar will either turn out to be a light crust, or a totally shiny, solid piece of sugar.

 I often like mine to just be a light crust. Although, there were times in high school when I got the solid piece of sugar. It's so smooth!

 And, of course, to make it even better, add some ice cream! 

(Warning: this meal is not intended for persons who do not enjoy sugar. If you do not enjoy the often gritty feeling of sugar being crunched, do not attempt. Also not a good idea for those who gave up sugar for Lent...)
