Am watching Top Chef. Why does everyone think burritos are latin food? Burritos originated in California (trust me, I've done some research, which involved an American teacher of mine and a bet), and that was after it stopped belonging to Mexico (on that subject, I remember, when I was a kid, saying how cool it would've been if Disneyland was a part of Mexico XDDD). Also, why do the people call tamales 'tamale'? because the singular world is Tamal. *shrug*

I haven't done that much today, since I had no classes. Wait, no, I re-watched Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. I cried again, no surprise there. I told my mom that I wanted SPN's first season for christmas *g*

Now, who wants a meme?

Take the first line of the first fic you posted each month in 2006.

January
The fireworks leave colorful imprints behind Remus’ eyelids, bright colors on starless night with everything moving in and out of focus, a red Chinese-looking dragon made of sparks and magic dancing in the sky as the alcohol in his blood makes the floor shake.
From Dancing in Light, Remus/Sirius, written for [livejournal.com profile] blanketforts

February
Sirius will always be Cups on Remus’ mind, aristocracy trailing after him like a thick scent that tricks his senses, calls him close, pushes him farther. Impulsive, sensorial, brash. Remus watches, and realizes just how different they really are. Opposites, really.
From Minor Arcana, Remus/Sirius, written for [livejournal.com profile] tellmeakiss. I reaaaaally like this one.

March
“Your birthday was four days ago,” says Harry matter-of-factly as Ron sets the cake on the table, and Ron only smiles cryptically in that way that always makes his stomach turn upside down.
From Gluttony, Harry/Ron, a birthday drabble for [livejournal.com profile] giventofly37.

April
April is born with flowers hanging from the trees, air pristine and intoxicating with the spring scent Remus blames for his infatuation.
From Glancing, Remus/Sirius, written for [livejournal.com profile] wellymuck.

May
This is a very fucked up triangle, Spike knows, but as his back rests against Vicious’ and the bullets graze his cheeks, he can’t imagine ever been involved in something that makes sense.
From Geometry, Cowboy Bebop, Spike/Julia, Spike/Vicious, Vicious/Julia, a birthday drabble for [livejournal.com profile] moonix. I've always been quite fond of this one, small as it is.

June
They have a road trip, red hood sweltering under the June sun as the white leather makes them sweat, shirts stuck to their skin.
From The Dust Sticking to Your Skin, Remus/Sirius, a birthday drabble for [livejournal.com profile] dzturtlepower. I looooove this one.

July
Howl drags her to the dance floor, one of his hands slipping up her blouse not quite so accidentally with every time they go round and round, her vision becoming a blurred mass of faces and colorful gowns and the fair hair of the Wicked Wizard Howl.
From Magic on the Tip of My Fingers, HMC, Howl/Sophie, a birthday drabble for [livejournal.com profile] onadancefloor.

August
The Doctor tells her to move away from his bedroom door, but that doesn’t stop him from touching his body to hers as he walks around her, from trailing his fingertips across Rose’s stomach – eyes looking into hers – as he enters the room.
From Alternatives, Doctor Who, Ten/Rose, Nine/Rose, Nine/Rose/Jack, and Three/Sarah Jane/Four, 50 sentence-long fics for [livejournal.com profile] 1fandom

September
“I don’t think I’ll ever see you again.”
From Five Thruths Haku Never Told Chihiro, Spirited Away, Haku/Chihiro.

October
Sam tries jerking his father awake, little hands on his father’s worn sleeve, on top of something that looks suspiciously like dried blood. “Dad, Daddy, please, wake up,” he mutters, knowing better than startling his father. There’s a knife under the pillow, after all.
From Look Ahead, Deny It Later, Supernatural, gen. I really like this one.

November
They’re entering San Antonio when Sam finally learns the date for the first time after weeks of Dean carefully stepping in front of faded diner calendars and clipping the newspaper’s date away and messing with the laptop so it says it’s Christmas, 1977, and then it only makes sense for them being practically half a country away when he realizes it’s November the second.
From And That Ashen Taste on My Mouth, Supernatural, gen.

December
Haven't written any fic yet. :(

Err, it's kinda sad to see how little I've written this semester, considering how much I used to write ;___; Also, I've only been writing ONE little original story since Nov. 5. *sigh* I need some inspiration shot, or something...

That really is interesting! If you condsider that it's so only thing next to hot sauce claimed to be 'mexican' when you go shopping here. Or a lot of other hot things to eat, easily to be recognized because they almost always got a sombrero on it, if not even a little man with a poncho and a mustache.

Hahaha, everyone in here is always so pissed that the entire world thinks poncho, mustache and sombrero everytime they think Mexico XDDD I've eaten "Mexican" food outside the country (never been to Germany, but have been to France and Italy) and omg it SUCKS. So bad.

I remember that a few years ago, I was watching this blog from the vocalist in The Calling stfu I was a silly teenager that didn't know better and the guy said, literally: "Well, you'd think that the best Mexican food would be in Mexico, but nah-uh, it was real bad" and I was all like "OMG *STABBITY* YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MEXICAN FOOD IS, YOU ASSHOLE!!"

So, what are tamales, then? :">
 
posted by [identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com at 06:50pm on 07/12/2006
Oooh, this nifty little delicious thing made out of corn dough covering some kind of meat (usually pork with red or green sauce), and wrapped up in either corn or banana leaves. There are sweet tamales too, but I don't really like them...
 
posted by [identity profile] moonix.livejournal.com at 07:00pm on 07/12/2006
Oh, that sounds indeed delicious. :) Can you make them with vegetables too?

What'cha doing, honey? ♥
 
posted by [identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com at 02:56am on 08/12/2006
Sure! There's even a tamal made entirely of corn, generally served with sour cream, cheese, and beans on the side. My grandma used to serve them all the time like that, and I got so tired of them that I don't really like them anymore *g*
 
posted by [identity profile] moonix.livejournal.com at 07:49pm on 08/12/2006
Aaa, okay, beans aren't really my thing. ^^ I meant, can you fill them with vegetables? Or rather, do you fill them with vegetables, cause obviously you can, if you can fill them with meat. *g* And the sweet ones, what are they with? :D

I feel like such a dork. XD
 
posted by [identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com at 08:06pm on 08/12/2006
No, no, the beans are just like a side dish, or something (well, there is a special tamal with beans inside, called 'ash' tamal but that's only on the south, and aren't as known or as yummy). Well, yeah, I guess, it's just that I've never really eaten a vegetable one, though that might be 'cause I don't like vegetables that much. NO, WAIT! I just remembered, there is a 'rajas' tamal which is a dish made out of slices of green chile (the ones that are the same size as peppers), regular corn and sour cream and other stuff. It tastes okay.

The sweet ones are usually strawberry and pineapple ones. *joins you in dorkery*

WHAT! You don't like vegetables? :O Not on. What vegetables do you like? Which are common in Mexico? Which don't you like? Eh? *nudges* XD And why is it that I've never heard of tamales?! :/ You so need to tell me more about Mexican food. And... and I need to get myself some recipes. *nods* My aunt got me a Spanish cook book for Saint Nicholas', but there are probably differences between Spanish and South American food?

Strawberry and pineapples... hmmm. Not exactly Mexican fruits, are they? *g* And do you add honey or something? I mean how do you sweeten them?

XD

Me castra que la gente tome por comida mexicana cosas que ni siquiera son mexicanas. Y más cuando es en programas que de alguna forma deberían haber investigado aunque sea un poquito. Creo que no le hacen justicia si sólo te dicen burritos o tacos que ni siquiera son tacos.

¡¡¡Que te regalen la primera temporada de SPN!!! Con mucho esfuerzo y trabajo yo me la compré hace como un mes y está muy, muy, muy chida.
