Honey is a good substitute for maple syrup if you don't have any in the house.
(Which we never do because we never have pancakes.)

It probably is. It's just not a condiment that belongs on pancakes in my world.

By "it's nice", I mean that it's nice on pancakes. You should try it.

Honey or jam are my favourite things to put on pancakes, generally, but I had honey with my icecream last night and I already had the golden syrup out for putting on the lady's pancakes. So I went with that.

I think I like jam the most, followed by honey and maple syrup tied for second place.

But then again, I really don't eat that many pancakes, I only normally get them on Shrove Tuesday.

It was the Queensland state level election. And I've been watching the results on the news and I have to say ... There is no mind control citizen, go back to your fun.

And that's what I think about all this politics!

I meant to say Queensland.
I keep being non-location specific because most of the people on this forum pronbably have no idea of the names of our states. Yet, I am able to remember over eighty percent of the American ones? It's unjust I tell you, unjust!

The actual reason is probably because I opened a kajillion tabs.
I probably shouldn't open more than one tab at once.

Edit: I wasn't too happy with the results, which won't be placed here for the obvious reasons. If you can really be bothered to find out, check the Internet. You don't have to, I don't know the names of any of the premiers of other states, so you don't have to either.

Strangely enough, that's how I feel. Until a week before the election.
It was my first after all.

Instruments? When did we start talking about instruments? But on the subject of instruments, I know rudimentary Piano and Guitar. And I should know some rudimentary Trumpet but could never coax any proper notes out. Actually, same for Flute, and those other instruments they make you learn at school that isn't part of a band.

Guys, I'm selling these swords soon. If any Melbournites want to come hang out before that happens, bring some plastic bottles and we can play around a bit.

Wow.. Last night was the best night I've had.. In -quite- a while. Also, the first day in a week that I was happy for the whole day. And no crying went on, whatsoever. :) I feel amazing.

An excellent breakfast idea.
Provided you're not eating the pancakes and the bacon at the same time.
That's just weird!
But then, I do enjoy honey roasted ham...

I did want to go see it, but then I heard that it was being touted as the next Twilight, and that people were all "OH MAH GAAAAAWD finally a movie with a strong female lead character", and it made me want to hurl rocks at things.

I was initially sceptical about the combo, but once I'd had it, decided it was awesome.

I also enjoy the occasional shot of maple syrup in my coffee.

I can see it becoming the new Twilight in the sense that no-one really knew about it until hermit-like people you know hear the movie is coming out, and they've read the books a zillion times, so they say it'll be amazing.

I haven't even read the books. xD But it is a really good movie, honestly. It actually is good, unlike Twilight. :P

I shall reserve my judgement of such movies until I have seen them.

Given my track record, this means I may never have a judgement on the Hunger Games.
