Okay, this is candy sushi, it sounds really bad, but I think it's great.

1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
Around 10.5 oz of mini marshmallows
5 cups puffed rice cereal (recommended: Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal)
4 fruit roll-ups (pressed dried fruit rounds, 8 inches) any brand, any flavor
8 strips licorice candy (recommended: Twizzler's brand), any flavor - pieces should be 6 to 7 inches long, trim to match width of roll-ups

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and add marshmallows. Stir marshmallows until completely melted. Remove mixture from heat and add cereal. Stir to coat cereal evenly in melted marshmallows.

Roll out the fruit roll-ups. Place 1/4 of the coated cereal onto each fruit roll up and spread and gather toward 1 side of roll up. Place 2 licorice twists onto the center of the spread out cereal mix. Wrap and roll the candy and fruit, maneuvering the licorice to the center of the roll, so that the finished product resembles a sushi roll. Repeat with remaining rolls.

Place a sharp knife into a bowl of very warm water. Cut candy sushi with warm knife and arrange on a plate then serve.

If you want a little bit more colour, I'd suggest adding a gummi bear along with the twizzlers, or like a gummi snake or somthing.  WARNIG: these are EXTREMELY sweet and very fruity.  :) Enjoy!

Okay so, I've been having a really bad kick-off of the week, you know?  Mondays and all that.  I still can't breath and my head has been giving me all sorts of trouble.  I got on the phone, and called my friend, who from now on is named Kitty, to whine and complain about how sick I am and how I feel lke I'm going to explode.  We got into a bit of a fight over somthing really stupid and just... immature. So, finally, after being yelled at for the past 20 minutes by Kitty, I hung up and cried.  Just all out sobbing, because Kitty could be the one person in my life that I actually love, and I just mucked it all up.

And then, I got out my MP3 player, and put it on shuffle.  And you know what came up?  A song I've been working on for the past six months titled "It's all gonna be okay".  There wasn't any guitar or piano with it, just me singing.  I recorded it on a really crappy mic in my livingroom, so the sound quality was horrible.  But it was beautiful.  It made me stop and think, this is NOTthe end of the world.  The end of the world is not going to come just because I'm fighting with someone I love.  I was being completely selfish, and the song I had written for the very person I had been fighting with ended up speaking to me the most.  And even if things don't work out between me and Kitty, and I end up walking away, the world still isn't going to end.  The world WILL NOT END just because I stop.  Music will still be in the world, and I truly believe that music is the the heart of our society, our communities, our countries, our ethnic groups, our religions, our people.  It's not gonna stop.  The heart aches, the pain, it's not gonna stop.  But it's all gonna be okay.  Because music is in our lives, braided and twisted into the threads of everything we are. 

I know this sounds really stupid, and like it's staight out of a Disney movie script, but it's not.  It's my life, and honestly, I don't care if you think I'm an idiot for posting somthing like this.  I really don't care.  And if you don't think I'm stupid, and you know what I'm talking about, thanks for listening.

It's all gonna be okay.

I just got back from a retreat trip.   Lots of fun, but it was FREEZING!!!!!  I guess that's typical of winter, eh?  Yeah....

So anyway, now I'm sick.  Just....sick.  I can't breath properly and anything I eat makes my stomach flip.  Pretty much sucks.  I'm tired, and I woke up today only to be told that, TA-DA!  I'd slept for 16 hours!  16 hours!!  I didn't even know that was possible, but I guess it is.  And how is it that after all that sleep I'm still tired?

You know what else sucks?  I found out on friday that  I have to take an EVIL test at school ON MY BIRTHDAY.  It's going to take all day.  Six hours of testing.... :(
