Side Effects

So... I'm taking this medication and ... This is what happens whenever I chance upon a sunbeam. 
Apparently this stuff makes you kind of sensitive to sun exposure. It wasn't always like this, but it's getting worse. I'm turning into a vampire, and not the cool kind that glisten with sweat in the sun, but the ones that collapse into ash, only I explode into hives and then collapse into ash.  

Items to acquire: Long-sleeves for all occasions
Parasol 
Gloves
Anti-itch cream
Vampire-like stare
Moodiness (to go with vampire stare)

Or... new medication.

oh, Zac ...

Sooo..... I saw this movie. .. And I have a confession. I like Zac Efron.

It's very unexpected for me. I am usually not a pretty boy person, which Zac Efron totally is (and it's not a bad thing, just a form a classification--- I don't want to upset anybody here. No crazy upset 14-year-old girl coming at me with a knife).

Not that I'm going to sport a T-shirt, lunch box, or other paraphernalia (though the occasional small poster may make its way onto my wall), but I do have to say that when I see him my heart gets a little pitter-patter.

MMMmmmm.....Bacon

So I'm in this biology class and for this class we have to read Francis Bacon. Now if you're like me you've heard his name flit around a couple of time, but never knew what it landed on. Well it's this book called The Advancement of Learning. And I'm supposed to write an essay on it that is due tomorrow. Never mind that it's over 200 pages of straight text, and although it's not in iambic pentameter, it is still no easier to read than Mr. Shakespeare. (written in 1605)
Naturally, I have not finished, I haven't even made it half way the book, but I have to come up with something. I tried looking for help but sparknotes doesn't have it, neither does cliffnotes. It is that old and unknown. 

Another thing: Bacon quotes King Solomon all the time. I don't know who his sources were, but they are so frequent and extensive that I think these two guys were homeboys or something. Solomon was apparently quite the philosopher on all things scientific.

BURN

So... you see this? This is from the time when I burnt my thumb nail. Yes, that is correct. I burnt my thumb nail. 
It happened like this: I was lighting a candle with a match. The candle was a really nice smelling one so naturally, there wasn't much left. While waiting for the wick to catch this thought crossed my brain: Hmmm, My thumb is kinda hot. Quickly followed by: Something smells not like my candle. And then things clicked--or burned rather. 
And can I just say that burnt nail smells like burnt hair x 10, almost as bad as burnt wool-----but let's be honest, nothing can top burnt wool except more burnt wool. If you want to get rid of a pesky boy and a few of your neighbors at the same time, burn some wool. But be aware, you might get rid of yourself while your at it. And you might also get a visit from a vengeful flock of fluffy sheep. I hear they're rather like the Mofia in revenge. The Russian mofia, mind you, not the Italian or Asian.
