Alone on Friday evening… *tear*

My flatmates have left me at home allll alone tonight so naturally, I’m drinking cheap wine and making cupcakes! These are fudge brownie cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. I love peanut butter and peanut butter-flavoured things. I also like cupcakes.

They didn’t turn out as awesome as I’d hoped but they are still pretty delicious! They are a little bit dry and also I’m not sure in what universe this recipe makes ten cupcakes because I only JUST got seven average sized ones. If I were to makes these again, I would double the ingredients. Some of the cupcakes didn’t rise as much as I expected as you can see but I’ve tried to make up for this by using LOTS of frosting! The frosting is yummy and has an amazing texture.

I am very much an amateur baker, fyi; I had zero interest in baking until about two months ago and now I am obsessed with cupcakes. One day soon, I will be able to do this:

and this:

Will probs work on that tomorrow. Today at work, my boss opened our service quality box and there was a massive multi-paragraph note in there from a customer saying how absolutely amazing and friendly I am and that I have super customer service skills. L O L. I hate talking to people.

I’m so glad it’s the weekend!!!

Jordy sucks

Today I will blog about my friend Jordy, who I suppose is on the cool side of average. Jordy lives in the same house as me and says weird things like “your body is at war and if there was an actual war between New Zealand and some other countries, there would be a war in your body then too.” Or something along those lines. She is passionate about soil, Bright Eyes and the domestication of cats, among other things. Jordy is the most disorganised person that has ever lived on earth. Ever. She might also be the nicest. No, that’s a lie; I remember she was mean one time. Weird things happen to Jordy every single day like old guys with an interest in piano-playing hitting on her at the laundromat and random girls stealing her iPod. She also has a weird eye disease. As a result of this eye disease, she has eye plugs and she uses many different types of eye drops. She also sleeps in weird goggles that we never allow her to bring out in public. It’s embarrassing. Jordy is always keen for adventures. Sometimes too keen. She fainted at the pharmacy once. Jordy has a pretty sweet taste in music and has introduced me to some cool bands such as The Decemberists, Bright Eyes and Okkervil River. She also listens to some weird stuff, such as Israeli trance music. She likes loads of cool TV shows and Ben from Parks and Recreation.

That’s all I have to say about Jordy. I’m going to sleep now!
