Back on April 20th, I finally turned 21, meaning I could finally legally imbibe alcohol. That being the case, I had always wanted to make a martini, if just because the idea of making some sort of cocktail or another always interested me. High society and all that bullshit.
So I bought some (fairly cheap) vodka and dry vermouth and proceeded home to try and make a martini. Well, the thing I hadn't known of was that all the martinis I had had previously were made with gin, so I was somewhat surprised by the more alcoholic taste of the added vodka. That, and I feel that I may have shaken the mixture TOO much, which can supposedly "damage" the alcohol.
In the end, I disliked the first one but ultimately made a second one, this time making it a dirty martini (which is where you add olive brine to the mixture) which was ultimately better in that it cut the sharpness of the alcohol some.
I honestly have no clue why in the name of God I'm babbling about making martinis, except for the fact that I wanted to talk about it, I suppose. Eh, there you have it.

Hey Guys, Guess Who's Getting Published?
I am! Well, kind of sorta.
Basically, awhile back I did a small essay for a possible scholarship. Thing I didn' t know while making this is that there was the possibility of being published. Turns out that my essay ranked in the top three percent of the 4100 essays submitted, and will be published in some upcoming book with the other essays that had been submitted, as well as be put into the possibility of receiving a $1000 scholarship. I think the book is titled "Voices of the Future" or some such thing, but I'll need to go over the papers again. Even if I don't get the scholarship, it'll be nice to say in my resume that I've been published

Vacation Time, Sucka!
Tomorrow, I will finally be getting a summer vacation, my first in about two years. I'm going to Florida to visit family, and will be gone for about a week. I hope you all take care, and I'll see you when I get back. ^ ^
Just thought ya'll would like to know.

Interesting subject. Making a martini definitely doesn't sound easy to prepare.
