oh my god i can’t even belive how awesome i am right now. i’m dining on a custom spinach pizza with garlic and tomatoes and too much parmesan cheese that i made ALL BY MYSELF. holy shit. here is the recipe so that this moment will be spread about the internets and i will be rejoiced by the white pizza-eating followers of the world. i suck at measurements and i didn’t measure any of this so suck it.

creamy spinach tomato pizza

spinach
olive oil
garlic
salt & pepper
heavy whipping cream
shredded mozzarella & parmesan
real bacon bits (optional)
pizza crust of choice (i just used pillsbury.)

throw that spinach and olive oil in a pan on medium heat, salt and pepper to taste, and stir occasionally until spinach becomes little dark green slivers. mince garlic and add that to the spinach (i wouldn’t start it in the pot with it.) slice tomatoes. while this is going on get your crust ready!

after spinach is slimy and delicious, throw in some heavy whipping cream. i don’t know how much, just to cover i guess. now pump up your heat and boil that shit until it’s reduced and thick. throw in a bunch of parmesan while it’s boiling, that way it’s more likely to work itself in and not just bunch up all over your spoon. once it had the consistency of spinach artichoke dip, turn off the heat and let it rest for a minute.

when it cools a bit, throw that shit on a crust, top with mozzarella, tomatoes, more parmesan, and bacon bits. bake until melty and golden brown. mmm.

this might be the most illiterate sounding recipe i’ve ever seen.

god i’m so STUPID.

i put an answer for the last question that DIDN’T EVEN ANSWER THE QUESTION.

i put an answer for the last question that answered a question that I DIDN’T EVEN UNDERSTAND.

i put an answer for the last question that was obviously not the correct answer which i would have known had i THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR AT LEAST ONE SECOND.

but, i…

uh.

this actually isn’t self-affirming at all. FUCK.

it took a lot longer to find this fucking picture than you might think it would have

last night was the first friday night i’ve spent back at college. you know how i spent it? watching empire records and playing super mario world with my roommate. way to be a loser, sami. good job.

i’ve seen empire records about a million times, and while i’ve always enjoyed the funny characters and the gwar cameo, i realized that there are some aspects of the movie that i hadn’t fully appreciated before.

namely liv tyler as corey. and i’m not talking about appreciating liv tyler as in appreciating the scene where she’s all in her underwear trying to seduce that mon amore guy you sick fucks. i’m merely referring to corey as a character.

corey is fucking hot, she’s got a super cute nice boy totally in love with her, she’s got a sweet job, she’s good at school, and except for that little speed problem she basically rocks. but then it hits you in the middle of the movie COREY IS A FUCKING LOSER.

corey has basically no friends – well yeah the empire records gang – but like gina said to aj at one point “corey went home last night, like she always does”. COREY DOES NOT HAVE A NIGHTLIFE. she is missing a major social aspect of her life which i am also missing. and yet corey is all those other things that i’d like to be.

so there you have it. you can be awesome and beautiful and have a nice boy in love with you and be good at school and be a speed freak and be a fucking loser all at the same time.

there is hope for me yet.
