slumber

So because school's usually an hour away and my brother and I are always busy with extra-curricular activities, the last time I actually cooked anything was in sixth grade, SEVEN YEARS AGO, and it was only an attempt at teaching me, and involved only frying things.

Anyway, today I woke up after about ten hours of sleep and a day spent locked up in my room eating nothing but baby food--shut up, I wasn't inclined to eat anything better--and I was really hungry, so I decided that if there was nothing good to eat downstairs, and at two in the morning that was highly probable, I was going to have to cook something.

Considering I wasn't sure how to turn on the stove--if it's even really called THAT. I know nothing--this was quite a terrifying thought.

I went down, spent about five minutes faffing over whether I should just get a donut, told myself I'd never learn if I always took the easy way out (HAH. Lesson of the YEAR.), and dug around the fridge. I ended up with sausage/hotdog type hybrids--longgadog, a company here calls it--and two eggs. Set up the stove, got a small frying pan (non-stick!), and while I was thawing out the longgadogs, I had the bright and brilliant idea of making an omelette instead of just a sunny-side up, so I went back to get some cheddar cheese.

There was also a moment when, not knowing where they kept the salt, I thought to use soy sauce on my eggs. :|

To cut a long story short, I only burned the longgadogs a little on the outside, I am not an omelette master (too many add-ins, too few eggs, too small a pan), and the non-stick pan? TOTALLY STICKS.

The cheese, however, was a Very Good Idea.

So I was wondering, you know I love fairy tales so much, and re-telling them, and most other aspects involving fairy tales, really. Thus, here is a poll, and to the boys in my flist, I hope you forgive the gender insensitivity:

[Poll #828392]

Which is a very simple question. But. You know. Have you ever wanted one over the other particularly, like, when you were a kid? And what do you suppose the differences are? What kind of girl would like a Prince Charming, what kind of girl would like a Knight in Shining Armour?

AND and and, what was your favourite fairy tale ever, barring Disney adaptations? And what kind of heroine did you ever see yourself as?

I swear this is not just so I could use my newest icon. :|
