My Grandmother is Smart

My Grandma came over this afternoon and we hung out. She’s like 80 years old and my only remaining grandparent. I played Tap Tap Revenge with her on the iPod, then the two of us played Guitar Hero on the Wii. Rock on, Grandma.

The reason why she’s the smartest old person ever is because she knows the world. I was like “Do you know who Michael Jackson is?” then she goes “Yes, the singer, right?” Take that, everyone elses grandmothers. You can’t deny those words of wisdom.

Then my mom invites my aunt to dinner, and she interrupts me watching television by talking at max. volume about who knows what. Then she forces me to eat raw pork and says that it’s good for me because I’m so skinny. A minute later, my bowl is filled with vegetables, pork and left-over chicken.

Regarding updates, I have 3 new affiliates: Atomic Affliction, Randomiss Designs and Pastel Smash. I’ve added a few icon bases and a tutorial on Colour Isolation. I’ve been thinking about better organizing the Photoshop tutorials by putting them in different tabbed categories. I will be doing one of ‘pixel perfect’ text such as the ones seen on the OS X and what I’ve done with the text for the ‘Glitter Generator’ title.

I have also joined ‘Twitter’ where I’m now twitting, tweeting or tweetering updates about my nonexistent life and site-wise information. If you want to read about my every-day failures micro style, then follow me.

I’m experimenting with baking right now. My mom thinks this is the bad idea because the last time I went into the kitchen I set the kitchen cloth on fire. That wasn’t really my fault. I didn’t know that fabrics were that flammable. At least my cape didn’t get stuck in some wormhole like in Batman, jeez. What do you expect from me, woman.

    Aw that sucks that you deleted all your apps.

    Lmao that’s so cute how you and your grandma hung out. ;) I love Tap Tap! :D

    LOL your grandma seems sweet, mine would have done the same about stuffing my plate with pork and chicken.

    Yay for joining Twitter. :D I shall follow you haha.

    Best of luck with baking, I don’t even go there because last time I didn’t only set a cloth on fire but probably the whole house.

    Haha thankfully I’m not getting any diarrhea or constipation.. yet. D:
    Whoa. Whoa. Ketchup on vanilla ice-cream? Thanks for that idea. I’m going to try it out first thing tomorrow. *excited*

    Ohs I see. For some reason I don’t like olive oil as much as Caesar. It just doesn’t seem to give as much flavor or that tanginess that I like. xD

    Wow, you have the coolest, hip…est grandma ever! Not only did she play games, but she’s in-the-know about pop-culture. Pretty groovy :D
    I actually wrote about my recent fail at cooking recently.

    Ugh…I actually like baking cookies and stuff, but cooking in general is boring and tedious…and just….sets me up to fail, lol.

    omg. love the lyt <3 especially the tree. how did you make that? it’s amazing.

    your colour isolation tutorial is very helpful! i’ve been trying to get that effect for ages. i couldnt find a good tutorial on it cuz the rest were so complicated but yours is easy to follow. im so bad at using photoshop, hahaha :D

    your grandma sounds so cool. mine just sits around in front of the television eating tapioca and telling me off for talking on the phone and stuff like that.. she actually lives with me and it gets soo annoying sometimes because she’s so bitter.

    well YEAH your grandma should know michael jackson! who didn’t? he was/is so popular. especially in the 80’s. any 80 who doesn’t know him .. well, wow hahaha.

    yeah i can’t bake .. period. the only thing i can make (without burning the house down) is probably a bagel.

    Your grandma rocks, Rainie :D My grandma just talks about her history and shopping, and my grandmother talks about what my dad does when he was small and gossip about other wrinkly ladies. I don’t think either of them even knows how to work tap tap revenge or Guitar Hero! You’re so lucky.

    Chinese relatives are weird. Almost all of my relatives are kind of quirky, except for the ones who understands English because they act the most normal of the bunch. I would hate to eat raw pork. Now I’m actually happy that I’m not skinny. I hate eating raw meat.. BLEH.

    Haha, my mom only trusts me with waffles, scrambled eggs, and washing food. Everytime I want to bake something, it’s a no. Baking is like an annual event. Why can’t I bake on my own free will?!

    Chinese people… *sigh*

    Your grandma sounds cool. Though I would expect ALL grandmothers to know who Michael Jackson is because he is quite old too, they grew up listening to him, or at least were fairly young when he was famous. But playing guitar hero? That’s just awesome. My grandmother just reads or do cross word puzzles. She works too. XD

    I’m following you on Twitter!

    Haha, she does sound smart. But hey! My grandmother is smart too ;) Oh, and she’s younger :-P Interesting, playing guitar hero with her… my grandmother would bust her ass doing that! Haha, what? I’m just saying! :)

    Your grandma is off the chain.
    (I don’t really talk like that, just thought I sounded cool in my mind). And she knows how to use an ipod! I don’t even know how, they need to make a more detailed instruction manual, seriously.

    My grandmother is pretty good for 91. I mean she knows who Glenn Beck is.

    I haven’t got the chance to meet my grandparents too. They died already before I was born. ;-; Bonding with them seems like fun, huh.
    Ooh, you’re so skinny? I hope I have a body like yours. I got fat easily that’s why I always mind what I eat which is kinda annoying sometimes. lol
