Pear Project Day 7: Bosc Pear

Overall Rating: 7.75/10

Appearance: A beautiful slender pear with a brown, earthy tone. It is truly a beautiful pear.

Price: A good bargain for a pear. It is priced reasonably.

Taste: This pear had a sandy, rough texture. However, this is not a bad thing. It's rough texture was a good offset compared to other soft pears. It was a very nice taste.

Distinctions: Bruised easily, although hard to tell due to it's colour. Definitely the roughest pear in terms of texture, and most beautiful in terms of aesthetics.

Pear Project Day 6: Red Pear

Overall Rating: 7/10

Appearance: A rich red pear. Its colour mimics that of a pomegranate.

Price: Standard pricing, although leaning towards the expensive side.

Taste: This pear was richer than the other pears had been. Its juicy richness was lovely, although it wasn't as tart as the Comice pear.

Distinctions: The rich red sets it apart from others. Also, it is definitely the juiciest of the pears.

Pear Project Day 5: Forelle Pear

Overall Rating: 4/10

Appearance: The tiniest pear! Less than half the size of the other pears, I'd say.

Price: Standard pricing, considering it's size. About 85 cents per pear.

Taste: The taste of this pear was a little bit starchier than the rest of the pears. This deep starchy taste cause the pear to taste a little... putrid.

Distinctions: It's small size is definitely a distinction for this pear, there's not much to eat on it!

I just found you via someone reblogging your entry about asexuality. I adore reading your blog. Best blog I've found yet. Keep writing.

Thank you! It makes me feel so warm and happy in the inside that I am producing content that people can enjoy :)

Pear Project Day 4: Comice Pear

Overall Rating: 8/10

Appearance: Green and very "peary", this is what you'd think of when someone mentions a pear.

Price: Relatively cheap!

Taste: A very nice taste- almost like a melon infused with that obvious pear taste.

Distinctions: Very soft, hardly any bruises, and very tasty!

Why I am happy to have boundaries in my life

Boundaries can be an awful thing. Terrible- in fact. At times you may feel depressed, worthless, trapped. Boundaries can tear you apart. They can cage you. They can suffocate you. They can restrict you from self actualization.

But there are pros to every con. They strengthen you. They help you to fight against what restricts you. They promote research. They help you find alternatives. They help you discover yourself in your own confines. They help you yearn to live. They help you develop goals.

I know boundaries have won round after round in this long battle which many call "life", but the tides are changing- and I plan to win the next rounds that come. I am strong. I am ready. I am myself, and I won't let any boundary change that.

If you fell in love with someone would you still have sex with them if it was something they really wanted?

If they really wanted it, I'd have sex with them. I would really like to make my partner happy, even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone a bit...

asexuals fall in love?

Yes. Asexuals like myself just do not have sexual attraction and therefore our love isn't very sexual. Just because there is no sex, however, doesn't mean there is no love! :)

[biokier]

I am asexual.

I am asexual. I don’t feel sexually attracted to anyone. Not men.  Not women. That’s all it is. I’m not gay. I’m not straight. I’m not bi. I’m none of the above. Asexuality is real. It’s not fake. It’s not a hormone problem. It’s not a way of running from a bad relationship. It’s not an attention grab. It’s not some way to be “special”. I don’t care if you have sex. I don’t care if you don’t. I don’t want to recruit you. I don’t want to convert you. I don’t want to shame you.

I just want you to understand me.

Pear Project Day 3: Apple Pear

Overall Rating: 4.5/10

Appearance: The fattest of the pears... Looked cute and appetizing

Price: Extremely expensive! Upwards of two dollars PER pear!

Taste: Like the name may imply, this pear almost tastes exactly like an apple. Its flavour is diluted, however, and the taste was very subtle and watery.

Distinctions: Most like an apple when compared to other pears!

Pear Project Day 2: Bartlett Pear

Overall Rating: 6.25/10

Appearance: Not a very pretty pear... It had many scratches and bruised very easily!

Price: Average-priced in comparison to other pears.

Taste: That lovely standard pear taste! Feels like a cross breed of an apple with a potato and a banana, except sour.

Distinctions: Very soft, and bruised very easily in comparison to the other pears.

Writings, #1-3

I went out in the park today to write a bit. Here's a sample of what I wrote:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A family of three walks off to their car

Why should today be any different?

Same park,

Same swing set,

Same ordinary day.

The woman sneezes "achoo"

They say you sneeze when someone speaks of you.

But why should today be any different?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is that boy thinking

Eating an orange in the park

He munches meticulously

As if each wedge was different

As if each word he worte

Was somehow distinct.

Oh how I'd like to know

What that boy is thinking...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

He walks around the track

Constant, like a hearts beat.

He walks to add years

He walks to mask the tears

But every heart stops,

And so do his feet.

On finding a good friend...

I have trust issues. After losing a best friend whom I can truly say was like my sibling, I can only hope to ever gain a friend once more. Sure, there are people that you say "hello" to, and there are people who you may have conversations with and spend time with between classes. Will there ever be someone who understand me, though? Someone who could share their self with me, who I can confide in, who is sweet and thoughtful...? I wonder sometimes. I wonder if I'll ever be able to make that connection with someone once more.

(Pear Project day 2 is coming tomorrow)

Pear Project Day 1: Introduction.

I'm a very spontaneous person, I truly am. It's no surprise that my desires fluctuate from one day to the next. One day, however, I had a certain craving: A craving for pears. My craving coupled with the fact that I recently found 10$ hidden under my bed led to The Pear Project. I biked to Publix with one goal in mind: buy every pear you encounter. With a smile and a curious stomach, I headed home with a lovely cluster of 6 pears. This week would be all about pear research.

[biokier]

Introducing the Pear Project!

During the span of 6 days, I will be trying 6 unique pears and rating them based on taste, price, etc. If you have any questions, suggestions, or requests, please do send them to me! This will be an exciting culinary journey and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)

I will soon make a youtube video!

To some, this may be stale news, however this is a perfect medium for me to use in some circumstances, I believe. I am a very timid and shy person, and have nobody to voice my deepest thoughts verbally. I can voice my thoughts by typing them, but for longer thoughts (or for the sake of just saying the words), I will be opening a youtube account. I will be posting my videos on my tumblr and also on my main tumblr account (bretodeaunoel.tumblr.com). I am quite excited because this gives me a way to feel as if I'm expressing my opinions verbally, and hopefully someone will listen x]
