今天是我的生日！祝自己生日快乐～我不想在课外做太多的功课，只是想庆祝一下。毕竟这是吃美食的借口～

Today is my birthday! I didn’t want to do too much school work outside classes, just wanted to celebrate. It’s an excuse to eat good food, afterall Have a great day!

sometimes you have to hold your own hand, and that is okay.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling ….

well honestly, not that different from how I felt yesterday, when I was still 21, but okay. I’ll just keep dancing like I am 22.. because I am now. 

There’s an episode of New Girl–bear with me here–in which Lizzie Caplan’s character Julia, a brusque and condescending lawyer who is dating Nick, continually butts heads with “adorkable” and quirky Jessica Day. As a peace offering, Jess offers our mean girl lawyer with a homemade cupcake, and Julia declines, offhandedly commenting that she’s “not really a dessert person.” 

Reader, I stood in solidarity with Jess in that moment. A clear example of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Jess is understandably shook by this statement, raising it with Nick as she tries to explain the tension between them. It’s silly and pretty insignificant, but for those of us who are “dessert people” in that moment, we were seen. 

Of course, we’re not a silent majority–in the interim we’ve had seasons of GBBO to keep us satiated, and the rise of social media famous bakers has provided plenty of dessert people with their sugar fix.

So when I stumbled upon Claire Saffitz’s new baking book, Dessert Person, at my local bookstore earlier this week, I was immediately struck with a much-needed mood booster in the late-fall slog of quarantine. I knew she’d been working on a book for a couple of years, but in the chaotic summer that was the implosion of the BA Test Kitchen Universe, it had been off my radar. Seeing as my birthday is, conveniently, today (!!) I asked for it as a birthday gift. (There is even a birthday cake recipe in the book, but I’ve opted for my favorite apple pie from our local orchard and some fancy cinnamon ice cream from the fancy ice cream shop in town. And, of course, mini Reese’s because tradition. It’s a pandemic, I’m gilding the lily here, folks.)

So, in the vein of a different Julia–the dessert person Julia who inspired a cooking journey through Mastering the Art of French Cooking–I’ve decided to start the Dessert Person Project. I’m going to bake my way through the cookbook and hopefully try to do some other things related to social justice and food insecurity along the way. It’s not going to be dictated by a fixed schedule, but I’m hoping to bake something every couple of weeks. If I were more online, I’d start an insta too, but I really hate insta, so, alas, this will probably not gain any notoriety, but I do hope that some people find it and I can support bakers across the country that are spreading happiness and fighting hunger. 

So I’m excited to start the Dessert Person Project, and I hope you’ll stay tuned! Together we can make some good things happen, because Dessert People are the Sweetest People.

I’ve just leveled up :>

Happy birthday to me AND to George Lucas !!!

my b-day time B)

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep,darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Guys, I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22. 

Saw the opportunity, had to take it. #sorrynotsorry

I feel absolutely thrilled about being another year older. On the other hand, presents…. pizzaaaa….. presssseeentsssss….

Breakfast in bed for my thirtieth

BTS REACTION: Birthday

Decided to make this since today is my birthday…enjoy I guess. It’s ass lmaoo

Namjoon:

“I want you to make me a song for my birthday namjoon.” You exclaim, grabbing his arm excitedly to drag him to the studio.

He doesn’t move. “Y/n how many times do I have to tell you? I don’t make songs for just anybody.”

You pout but he doesn’t really care.

But after some time thinking, he finally makes a proposition. “I’ll only make you a song if you break up with me.”

“How’s that fair?”

“It’s not but I don’t want to be that person to break up with someone on their birthday so..” he trails off, looking over at you with a grin.

You fold your arms in defeat. “Never mind.”

His eyes go into panic for a second, “You sure you don’t want a song? Please reconsider it by today. I got to get married tomorrow.”

Jin:

“Okay…?” He takes out a 20 and hands it to you.

“This should be enough for your hair.” He smiles at you but you’re not satisfied.

“What am I going to do with that?” You sadly ask, grabbing the money and pocketing it.

Jin scoffs at your tone. “Well I thought since you have a couple strands of hair, it wouldn’t take much money for someone to do it. But excuse me for thinking logically.”

Yoongi:

“Happy birthday.” He tells you and hangs up.

You call again, wondering why he did that, and you were greeted with a dark screen when he picks up.

“What? I said happy birthday..isn’t that enough? What else you want? Money? Food?”

You roll your eyes at him, as you couldn’t believe him. “It’s my birthday and all you want to say is ‘happy birthday’?”

You see the lights go on to see that he’s looking at you dumbfounded.

“…did you hear what you just said to me y/n? This is why we break up every 2-3 business days. You never make sense.”

Hoseok:

He plans out this special place for you, even going as far as blindfolding you and you were excited.

“You can take it off now.” You can hear the joy in his voice so you joyfully take it off only to be greeted with a big yellow arch.

“McDonald’s?”

He giggles at your tone. “I thought long and hard what I should do for you since supreme boi stole my card a couple of days ago.”

Your mouth hangs open as you remembered that last night you saw a post of him and supreme boi hanging out together.

Jimin:

“It’s either I buy you something or I buy taehyung something.”

“Well I’m your s/o, so you should pick me.”

Jimin starts laughing so hard, that he drops to the floor, rolling around.

You look at him for a moment, not sure what was funny.

After some time, he gets up with a serious expression on his face. “So what should I get Tae?”

Taehyung:

“Sorry I couldn’t be with you on your birthday y/n, just know that I l-“ the call drops and you hurriedly dial it again, because you knew that this was the first time he’s ever said ‘I love you’ and that excited you.

The phone rings and rings again but no one answers. You think it’s your service or phone, so you go out of your way to see your friend to use their phone, and you dial his number again.

He never answered and after hours of waiting, he texted you.

‘Lol my bad, I almost said something outta pocket. Happy birthday though.’

Jungkook:

He couldn’t be there for your birthday so instead he he texts you.

‘Happy birthday I guess. I’m going to send you some flowers or something like that.’

You decided to watch some of your shows, waiting for the promised flowers.

After hours go by you hear knocking at your door and with the quickness you open it to see some daisies on the door step with a note attached to it.

‘I’ve realized that we’re not good for each other. You bring my nose energy down every time I get close to you and that’s a serious problem. Now don’t take that too seriously but if you do, I gave you some soap. Have a nice birthday.’

Lmao this is probably one of my worst ones but I wanted to to do something today‍

I’ll do another one that’s better than this one
