RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in the Friendship State, yes, Tejas a.k.a Texas. I'm currently in middle school. I don't work for anyone yet. Although, sometimes my brother will bribe me to do something for him. I love to read and cook for fun. You'll find me on the internet 60% of my day. My fave cookbook is the World Wide Web. Yep, the net. It's full of recipes and such that you can retrieve at a click! I'm left-handed, and they say left-handers use the right part of their brain, whereas right-handers use the left-part of their brain the most. So, since I use the right part of my brain the most, I'm mostly creative. I love to cook, read, draw, dance, act, you name it! I hate pollution, wasting good things, messing up on what I'm cooking, and the government not really caring to give taxes and such to finding cures for diseases like: all cancers, all diabetes, AIDS, and those other infectious diseases that are slowly killing off the majority of our world's population, and coming to World Domination!
My fave quotes:
"You say life ain't fair? Well it's definetly fairer than death!"
"A pigeon is the same thing as a dove. It just has two different names."
"If you're shunned and exiled from your country and you say, 'I'm not a citizen of anywhere', don't worry my friend, for you ARE a citizen of the world." -I kinda took that from the Olympics '04 opening ceremony, the "Citizen of the World" part.
Awww...yay i got adopted!
