nigga please my steak is way better. I make my dough and sauce from scratch on my pizza. I also make cream corn pancakes taste like they were made by the food network gods.

Pssh, you wanna talk about steak. Try dry aging porterhouse steaks for two weeks, searing them at temperatures exceeding 1000F, then slowly baking to a medium rare temperature of 120F and allowing to coast/rest up to 125-130F. Only seasonings you need on a good steak are salt, pepper, and MAYBE a few dashes of Worcestershire. I went steak crazy for a time.

But anyway;

Cook: Food Science Undergrad at the moment, but saying I love to cook would be a gross understatement. Breads are my favorite, followed by desserts (of course). Top 5: Tiramisu, Rosemary Bread (a.k.a. Biddy Bread), Croquembouche, Jambalaya (simple goodness), Bread Pudding (other simple goodness). For the bread pudding, try adding the cookie parts of oreos into the dried bread, and add the cream to your "custard" base, it's like a cookies and cream bread pudding when it's done .

Ice-skate: This was an interesting date... she was on Zero's level, while I was happy gliding with my legs firmly locked so as not to go into, yet another, split. Difficulty rating: High (stretch those legs before walkin' on that ice).

Bike riding: WIN! Since I go to school in the city, this is my mode of transportation everywhere. Get groceries, go to class, and just leisure rides in or around the city. Not hard, I tend to ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars

Scuba Diving: Great fun, and you don't need to be a scientist to do it (though expenses can get rough). I started learning when I was back in middle school, my dad takes people on dive charters up and down the east coast. Just remember to keep an eye on your air gauge, don't lose your buddy (or the anchor line >.>, not fun), and if you are worried about the bends, don't rush the decompression! Looking to get re-breather and cave-diving certified, it's hard getting in the hours needed during school breaks.

Truck Driving: My first vehicle ^_^. Still my chevy silverado, 8ft bed, extended cab. While I'll admit driving anything longer than 15ft is a pain, how you handle it in a city area is what sets apart men from the boys. Parallel parking, need i say more =P

Camping: Not my best skill granted (DAMNIT! STOP SELF-COLLAPSING, TENT POLES!), but I keep a sleeping bag and tent in the truck at all times. Love to go somewhere on the spur of the moment and just camp .

Smoke: Cross-J's, Vapes, Naga (small bubbler), and El Toro (circ-circ WP). My personal preference to relaxation; alcohol is all fine and good, but this keeps me in a better state of mind. While I won't condone everyone trying it, for some, the activity is worth experiencing for yourself.

Being a Gentleman: Difficult if you have to pick it up later in life. My mamma taught me well though

Getting Dressed: Not only working up the momentum to get out of bed and reach into your closet, but that whole "fashion" concept. I'm getting better, but so was Squidward and his people skills. Both need a lot of work =x

Travel: Not so much the going to crazy exotic places, but being open-minded and receptive to the traditions and cultures of where you go. For instance, there's nothing worse than going Japan and having that one american person who doesn't want to try new things, makes your excursions miserable, and stays at the resort with all the white-folk. It's difficult to ignore our initial judgements of people and culture, but understanding their POV will make the experience so much better.

Why would u go to Japan to stay at a resort?

I have saved my money for 10 years so I could go to Japan for 2 months after I finished collage. I still have not gone b/c I stayed home to help my parents but now I am not sure if I will ever get the chance unless jigsaw comes too.

I didn't, I stayed at my sister's apartment and a few hotels over the course of my one month there. My grandmother (god love her) was not as open-minded to the excursions my sis wanted to do with us, and thus preferred to keep to the resort/hotel she was staying at. Nevertheless, we appreciated her coming to my sister's graduation which was the main reason for our visit.

Don't fret ZERO, I'm sure you'll make it there someday. I was only able to go because my sister had already set herself up there. You'll find your window of opportunity, and if it closes before you can jump through, there are other ways out. I'm trying to either land a job for an international company where I could get relocated to Japan, OR I'll happily save up the $ to go again, there's so much that I couldn't cover in that month and so many things worth re-visiting. Just be sure to drop us a postcard if you do something spontaneous!

I know if I do ever go it will be in March-April b/c I want to be able to ski in Hokkaido but still hit up the beach in the south while I am there. One thing I totally want to check out is Ogasawara, Tokyo now that is something that truly is once in a lifetime opportunity. Sure it takes over a day to get there but talk about landscapes.

Really there's no bad time to see Japan haha. Got the Sapporo Ice Festival during the winter (with RAMEN ALLEY!), Cherry Viewing during the spring, Onsens during the fall (Hakone, another really great place to check out), Deer at Nara and the temples in Nara during the summer/spring, let's face it this could go on forever haha. But I'd definitely like to go to Ogasawara, it reminds me of the climate in Hawaii, great sealife, and some great history. I highly recommend if you're passing through Tokyo, to go down to the ginza line (it's like 3-4 escalators into the ground, very unnerving), and just people watch. You see the guards literally packing people in like sardines, the funniest shit to watch as most just shrug off this fact haha.

ain't nobody got time for that.

That's why it's a special meal =P. You can go as little as 3-4days for the dry aging in the fridge (really makes a difference), but if you're gonna plan something in advance, take the time to do it up right. Makes that special person feel that much better.
