nnyI'm not quite done with the packing, but very nearly, so I figured I may as well undelete. It's not as though I can't distract myself with other things if I'm so bloody determined, in any case. :)
I need to work on how I cope with pressure, clearly, or at least make a hell of a lot less whiney posts about it. One thing I will say, though, is that the one thing I most want to work on while I have time away from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
milliways_bar and spend less time on LJ in general is... I want to get to a place where I don't feel the need to apologise so fucking much. It drives me insane. I need to stop screwing up so much, I need to stop overstretching myself, and I need to have the confidence that I'm doing the right thing. Because I'm so in the habit of apologising that I end up undermining myself even when I know I'm right.
And just now, the right thing is to go shove more stuff in boxes and clean the top of the oven, so I shall bid thee a temporary farewell.

But you spend so much time apologising for "being crap" I don't know how you manage to pack. :P

Date: 2006-06-24 05:35 pm (UTC)Also! From up the comment stream - molasses is quite, quite tasty. It's a cross between syrup and honey in thickness usually, and is a type of syrup itself. It can be made from sugarcane, sugar beets (I wrinkle my nose at this, 'cause that's just not the same), or sorghum -- which is a crop plant species, grain/grasslike.
Sorghum molasses is the kind I grew up with. Ah, culture in the Southern US.
And now I want some.

And it's still very tasty, and I still want some.
(I grew up in Tennessee. Yes, I have been to a Lambert's, as the article mentions, but I always had molasses on biscuits -- er, not the British style, the roll-type bread. It's really good.)
