How old is this news? and A Midsummer Night

Any thoughts of switching permanently to Tumblr or Wordpress have been officially squashed.

Tabs! Oh, Blogger, how did you know?

And as Midsummer has been celebrated and the 'high school summer vacation' is upon us, I am (once again) recommencing my love for bloggage. But this time I'll stick to it. Because I just can't resist tabs. (Possible reason for lack of friends.)

I take small breaks from being a massive loser here and there though.
On one such occasion (yesterday), S (being quite knowledgeable about the Swedish Midsummer Festival), created for P, N, and I, a smörgåstårta-- a traditional dish served by the Swedish at Midsummer. Essentially, it's a Sandwich Cake.

It was delicious and I got a new dress. Happy Summer!

10 Signs of a Personal Recession

10. Silver circles elicit a "YES!!!" ...nickels mean something to you again.

9. Hell, pennies mean something to you. You often consider rolling them.

8. You're always sober. Even coffee is a luxury.

7. Food is a luxury.
Mixing a can of god-knows-how-old mushroom soup with boiled rice noodles you got from your parents house is considered a decent meal.

6. You spend a week eating nothing but scrambled eggs on hot dog buns your roommate stole from work.

5. Signing up for a lot of those pay-per-survey sites.

4. Deciding to have a yard sale and then looking in the Free section of Kijiji for things to sell.

3. You can't afford to 'do' anything so you ignore people's calls since they are inevitably going to ask you to 'do' something. (This has allowed me to get through the first 5 seasons of Gilmore Girls on megavideo.)

2. You find out how much a crossing guard makes. You considering applying for the position.

1. You notice there is only one roll of toilet paper left in your bathroom and are filled with an alarming panic.
