Everyone wonders what the big fluffy thing on Lord Sesshomaru’s shoulder is. Most think it’s his tail, as we all know, he is a dog demon that transforms into a giant dog but the fluffy thing is not his tail. I wasn’t sure what it was so I looked it up (I knew it wasn’t his tail because when he transforms, his tail isn’t fluffy). Apparently, Rumiko Tamashaki herself said that she drew it as a boa but she made it too big and still thought it looked fine so she kept it that way. So, basically, it’s a fashion statement on Lord Sesshomaru’s part. It’s definitely not his tail because it’s not attached to his body because in one episode he was injured and lying down in the forest with it behind his head, being used as a pillow. There is a proper term for it though, it’s called a Mokomoko.
I don’t know if you people watch or have watched Inuyasha but I love it and I would like to inform all ye blog viewer people(I said ye because in Inuyasha Lady Kaede says it). Well, they started “team Edward” and “team Jacob” for Twilight but I am not a Twilight fan, it’s not bad but I don’t love it like some do. I have started “Team Inuyasha” and “Team Sesshomaru” so if you know who they are please tell me who you like more. I need people on my side here so just to let you know, I’m Team Sesshomaru. Lord Sesshomaru is my favorite character.
This post will have a few quotes that I like from my favorite show, Inuyasha.
Kagome: You stinking toad Jaken: You stinking human.
Inuyasha: I’m a demon, not a comedian.
Lord Sesshomaru: Was that aimed at me?
*Kagome jumps off of a cliff or somewhere high up and is caught by Inuyasha* Inuyasha: Are you crazy? That jump could have killed you. Kagome: Well, I knew you’d catch me so I figured I’d risk it.
Inuyasha: Shippo, your village called, they’re missing their idiot.
Kagome: I can’t compete with Kikyo I’m stll alive.
Lord Sesshomaru: If you have any last words, say them now.
Here we go, more phobias yaaaaay. I think this one will be only weird phobias because I covered the common ones in my post: Phobias (part one). Actually, I’ll add some philias too. For those of you who don’t know a philia is an obsessive love for something.
More odd phobias:
Chromophobia→ A fear of bright colors.
Decidophobia→ A fear of making decisions.
Heliophobia→ A fear of sunlight (vampires walk among us).
Hypnophobia→ A fear of sleeping.
Oikophobia→ A fear of home surroundings and household appliances.
Okay, sticking with the theme of the holidays, I have a recipe for gingerbread men/gingerbread cookies, whichever you prefer. I say gingerbread men☻. The original recipe that I found made 6 dozen/72 servings. I thought that was a little crazy so I changed the serving number (which you can do on that website so no worries, I’m not just assuming anything.) I found this recipe onlone because I don’t know any good recipes that I have treid because I am not a fan of gingerbread. Also, my friend’s birthday is today, just being completely random and poiting that out. Now, onto the recipe. Here we go:
Ingredients:
3 Cups of all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoon of baking flour
1-1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 cup of shortening, melted and cooled slightly
1/2 cup of molasses
1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
1/4 cup of water
1/2 of an egg
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shortening, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, until they are completely absorbed. Divide dough into 3 pieces, pat down to 1-1/2 inch thickness, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. When the cookies are done, they will look dry, but still be soft to the touch. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks. When cool, the cookies can be frosted with the icing of your choice.
It’s December! December 2nd to be exact. There is only 23 days until Christmas so yaaay but at the same time, ahhhhhh. Yaaaay because I love Christmas like everyone else does☻. But, ahhhhh because I still have almost no Christmas shopping done. I do know what I’m getting everyone though so that’s good I guess. And more happiness, I’m getting a real Christmas tree this year instead of an artificial one. ☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻ Well I don’t have anything else to say so bye!
This is a post about phobias. If any of you don’t know, a phobia is a fear of something or someone. There will be two lists, one list of common phobias and one list of some phobias I find very odd and different. Here we go, to Phobialand.
Common phobias:
Arachnophobia→a fear of arachnids (spiders, scorpions,e.t.c. also, one of my friends is arachnophobic).
Acrophobia→ a fear of heights.
Claustrophobia→ a fear of crowded or closed in spaces(a friend of mine has it , not the one with arachnophobia though).
Coulrophobia → a fear of clowns (And once again, I have a freidn with this phobia).
Necrophobia→ a fear of death or dead things.
Odd phobias:
Technophobia→ a fear of technology.
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia→ a fear of the number 666.
Novercaphobia→ a fear of one’s step-mother
Phobophobia→ a fear of phobias.
Plutophobia→ a fear of wealth.
Pteronophobia→ fear of being tickled by feathers.
This last phobia is the best but most ironic phobia EVER. Ready? Here goes:
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is a fear of long words.
Christmas is only thirty two days away which isn’t good for me because I still have a lot of Christmas presents to get. Oh well. Some random Christmas stuff:
Christmas colors: Red, green and white! I like those colors, well, I don’t like white very much. All of the stores are ready for Christmas. I went shopping shortly after Halloween and almost every store that I went into had Christmas stuff and were playing Christmas music. I found that kind of crazy. People humming Christmas music and apparently people already have their Christmas trees up.
I’m sorry if I annoy you with my Simpsons posts but it’s my favorite TV show so you can’t blame me. This post shall be all funny quotes from any character that has ever been on The Simpsons EVER!
Homer: Trying, It’s the first step to failure.
Homer: Donuts, is there anything they can’t do?
Homer: English? Who needs that? I’m never going to England.
Mr. Burns: Look at that pig. Stuffing his face with donuts on my time! That’s right, keep eating. Little do they know, they’re getting closer and closer to the poison donut *cackles and stops abruptly* there is a poison donut, isn’t there Smithers?
Lisa: Do we have any food that wasn’t brutally slaughtered? Homer: Actually, I think the veal died of loneliness.
Homer: I have 3 kids and no money. Why can’t I have no kids and 3 money?
