I cleaned my room, got my oil changed, and wore make up tonight. It was a pretty good feeling all around.
( A couple of pictures )
Also, here is this meme. I've done it before, but I'm doing it again. Circle jerk!
One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind you how great you are.
Comments are screened so only I will know what is said, or if no one feels like catering to my demands. I hope that I did this in a way that still allows anonymous.

If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.
They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.
The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.
Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.

I was going to post these, and explain each stupid picture. But there are so many that the best you'll get is them in chronological order. If you're lucky. Watch out. This is intensely picture heavy. And if you have any questions about any specific pictures, please ask. Not all can be explained, but I can try.

I need a place to put my really good cookie recipes so I can always snag them. So I'mma start doing that. I just made some fantastic cookies.
Peanut Butter Munchies
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
2. In large bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter. Beat with electric mixer until combined. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla and almond. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls; set aside.
3. For filling: In small bowl, combine powdered sugar and 1/2 cup peanut butter. Beat until smooth (if necessary, use your hands). Shape into one ball per ball of dough.
4. To shape cookies, slightly flatten a chocolate ball and top with a peanut butter ball. Shape chocolate dough around peanut butter filling, completely covering filling. Reshape into ball. Repeat with remaining chocolate dough balls and peanut butter filling balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Dip bottom of glass in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and flatten each ball slightly.
5. Bake about 8 minutes or just until cookies are set and tops are slightly cracked. Let cool.
Now I just need a cookies icon.
