I really want to try this....

Hmmm... Oh how I wonder what these taste like...
Ever since I finished watching my 2nd favorite anime, ''Kanon'' I have wanted to try ''Taiyaki''. In Kanon, taiyaki was a food that one of the main characters, Ayu *who is my favorite anime girl aside from Chi from Chobits* absolutley adored. And who could blame her? They're like little fish shaped waffles filled with red or white bean paste or even better, they can be filled with chocolate! I want one!
*Sigh* Well, I'll just have to wait for someone with a fish shaped mold for the batter to come to me :(
I love sweets, especially cold ones. A favorite snack of mine is this Korean cookie with seaweed sprinkled on the top. I'm not sure what they're called, but they are big and oval shaped, and taste exaclty like fortune cookies. So delicious. They have a delicate crunch and melt in your mouth. The seaweed on top gives it a little kick of salty, tangy flavor once you get to the middle. Ahhhh :3 I must say, however, nothing beats the smell or taste of ice cream from an ice cream shop. The scent of all the different flavors of ice cream combines with the cool air and the aroma of the fresh and crispy cones. I also just love how colorful the shops usually are, such as 31 flavors, with the polka dot backgrounds and all of the light pink on the inside of the store. It reminds me of sweet strawberry creme.
I'm not even really sure what got me started on the subject of sweets, but boy do I like talking about them! My ultimate weakness has to be lemon flavored candies, syrups, pies and ice creams. I'm addicted to the smell of lemons, and on occasion, if I get an iced tea with a lemon wedge, I'll keep smelling it. I'll even lick it a few times because it makes my mouth water. Perhaps it the freshness, or the tangy tart feeling on my tongue. Which ever it is, I adore it :3.
Something I think we all all appreciate is the smell of cinnomon or apple pie spice. Especially around Christmas time. It's so warm and soothing, the rich color and flavor of an apple or pumpkin pie. I remember how much my mom used to like going into Cracker Barrel and smelling all of those wonderful Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie spice scented candles. Even more pleasurable is the taste. Ever just focus on how sweet and homey those pies taste? They warm you up from the inside out, and are so filling and delicious. Mmmmmm mm mmmmm.

The Gushy Gobby Story Of A Blob And The Girl Who Loved Him!

That blob is a James.
That's us on Christmas. Santa just dropped him in my lap, gave me some feeding and care instructions, and hastily flew out of there. He seemed to be in a hurry to leave....
Of course that is a joke XD
I began dating James, February 5th, 2011. I had a crush on that little bugger since I was a Sophomore.
Yes, he has his moments where he is just all too annoying. He hogs the sheets, he takes huge bites of my food, even if he already ate his, and he's recently become obsessed with my plush sheep that he stuffs in my mouth. Even so, in not only our relationship, he has done a lot of things for me that in my life, are nothing short of remarkable. He was one of the first people to ever make me feel pretty, first person I cried into besides my parents, the first person to see me as more than an accessory girlfriend. Most of my relationships didn't last long and ended badly. I am still civil with some of my exes and good friends with one of them and his girlfriend. However, one very bad and unexpected ending to one finally knocked me back to the floor and he left me all alone to pick up the pieces while he enjoyed dating someone he was flirting with behind my back. I was instantly replaced and the same thing seemed to happen again and again. My self esteem bordered non existent and I lived in a body that seemed as if wasn't mine anymore. It wasn't just the break up that did it to me, it was a very hard past with a lot of turmoil. I became anxious, passive aggressive, and my panic attacks had come back for the first time in 4 years.
Then, James came around. I never thought too much of him leaning on me, occasionally complimenting me * that I appreciated* and I could be myself around him. It's when he took me places, just us two, pulled me into his lap when I was upset, laid his head down on me that I realized, ''Oh, he's serious....'' I'd wake up every morning with a message from him saying, ''Good morning gorgeous*, or something equally flattering. I'd flush and mush my head back into the pillow every time. I wasn't used to that at all.  I loved it.
James would do things that I didn't fully understand at the time. He'd pull my hair out of my face, tell me to clip it back, things that were usually the opposite of what guys would tell me. One thing that I remember was inviting him over to my house to hang out with me, my brother, and good friend Sean. I was moping because I had ended a relationship I felt was going no where but since it was my first time doing so I was conflicted. After drawing doodles of boobies and smacking each other with toys, Sean and Nick left. James was about to leave out the door when he grabbed my hand, pulled me into my room and locked me into this romance movie esq kiss. I was speechless. It wasn't our first kiss, that one was much more simple. I simply waited for him to stop talking and while he looked down at me, I got on my tip toes and sealed the deal with a peck.
Instead of us screaming '' I LOVE YOU'' 2 days after dating, a month later, I auditioned for a talent show. I got scared so we can all guess how that went... Anyway, I had a choir concert after school. After it ended James took me for coffee and drove me home. We laid in bed and I told him I love you in french, which he did not know, when I was about to translate it and ''confess'', he popped his head up and beat me to it. Ugh!
Well, that's enough mush. James is terribly cheeky, toothy, clever and more fun then a barrel of squids. I love that big blob of goo. I only have one greater love and that is....

Hello :3
It's safe to assume that the picture above is me, Logan Noelle Boadway.
Well, I'm not 100% sure where to start off, but I was introduced to this blog site by my friend Miranda Smith. She thought it would be a good environment for me to blow off steam or to just share my endless bucket of thoughts, and I agree, I'm sure I'll have articles upon articles in no time XD. Anyway, I just wanted to start off by introducing myself. I am a senior at Northeast High School, I was born and raised in Tennesee, and spend the majoirty of my time, well, still figuring myself out :3 I'm a natural brunette but I now have red hair that matches my at times, ''firey'' temper. I often come off as passive, and I won't lie, I'm pretty harmless. However, catch me in the right mood or environment, and I'll chirp and chatter your ears off. I have a high tolerance for people, but you'll find fairly quickly that I will NOT tolerate disrespect, rascism, gay hate, or just flat out rudeness. Aside from that, I love sweets, cheese ;D, anything fuzzy and small*i literally cry at the sight of small hamsters and kittens* makeup, pyschology, horror movies and all things scary, and James Kotel. He's an asian guy that may come up in some of my posts later on. Oh, yeah I date him >.> and he's probably my perfect match; he's the one person more abnoxious then I am. Ah yes, love.
 Well I've already began to chatter, so I will end this here and hope to add more in the future :3
