The pseudo-English breakfast is really fatty because the hash browns, sausages, bacon and eggs are all fried, which is bad for you if you have it regularly.
The Channel Islands in the south part of the English Channel, and I'm scared because Urban Hatemonger lives there and I'm definitely not welcome...
Midnight mint is like mint with chocolate chips in, but for soft people because t's usually a lot more blended!

Good luck on your trip to Oregon, sounds great and I hope summer on the west coast is as awesome as it sounds!

Thanks bro. I've not spent a summer in Oregon yet. But the whole west coast summer is usually fair. Being Oregon, I'm expecting rain just about every day... not torrential, but sprinkling off and on. When I was there in November/December, the longest it didn't rain at all for was a week straight. But it's all manageable. Might be kinda bad for growing plants outside to think about it for a minute, but I'll think of something. Might wanna get some supplemental lights...

Oh, and I see about the breakfast... I make similar breakfasts (usually for dinner cuz I like breakfast for dinner). I usually make 2 hashbrown patties, 3 eggs, and either bacon or hot sausage, and make that into two fatty breakfast burritos smothered in sriracha rooster sauce. But I don't usually fry the stuff. Eggs are quick, scrambled real quick, hashbrowns in the microwave for 1:30, bacon/sausage stovetopped but get rid of the fat/grease. I'm sure it's not as healthy as yogurt, but I bet it's healthier than the frying your doing eh?

Well, I'm guessing it will be a bit quieter than the rest of the west coast, since I imagine a lot of people are more keen on heading to LA rather than Oregon, but I imagine there will be some great times in your travelling!
And sleeping in the truck must be great over winter (if the heater works properly), but in the summer everyone deserves a bit of a break!

Can't run the heater - battery would die. But yeah, blanket/sleeping bag combo is perfect for staying warm. It didn't get any lower than 25 F... a little below freezing. But I was never cold or even uncomfortable for that matter. I imagine the summer is going to be fair. I don't think it's the type of place that breaks 100 degrees like in Northern Cali.

Oh, and I'm sure a bunch of people vacation/travel to LA, but I wouldn't go to SoCal if I was paid to I reckon. Besides like Disneyland/Universal, I think if one was to holiday in SoCal, they'd probably go to San Diego. And Oregon is scenic. I'm sure there'll be people visiting/vacationing there, but mostly in the foresty/oceany parts, not necessarily the college town of Eugene.

11.00am, which isn't unusual for me.

Sausage butty. Very yum.

I had this bubblegum ice cream on the curry mile (a long street in Manchester where they have literally hundreds of Indian/Asian food chains) and it was ridiculous. Usually I would say praline and caramel though.

Deciding at a very early age that I will not join social peer pressure groups to further my popularity.

Burning Down · 03-03-2012, 08:35 AM

1. What time did you get up this morning?

7:00 AM, when my boyfriend rolled so far over in the bed that he actually pushed me off of it.

2. What are you having for breakfast this morning?

Toast and coffee, made by my man to make up for the above incident. Except he didn't make the coffee right. I still appreciate the effort though

3. Where are you thinking of going on holiday this year?

Can't go anywhere this year as funds are low, but next year looks really promising. Don't know where yet though - but my boyfriend really wants to take me to Belgrade so I can see where he comes from and all that.

4. What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?

Chocolate

5. Who is your favourite English actor?

I hate this question. There are so many! I really like English comedians - Stephen Fry, Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese (and also Monty Python).

6. In your life, what do you think is the best decision you've ever made?

Staying in university after I had seriously thought about dropping out. It means I'm behind my peers a little bit, but it's for the best.
