I don’t know why but whenever the words enormous and delicious are used (separately) in an inappropriate context, it cracks me up.
…LOL, no double entente meant there. Ok.
Anyway, you know the Noir (Nestlé) chocolate ad…it’s hot. I like the French Cabaret theme-it’s so classy and mysterious (I also like anything oriental themed, but Japanese is the best). In other news, I love the Extra gum ads-they’re so cute! My favourites are the coffee and the banana.
Falling asleep or becoming super drowsy when I’m meant to be studying has become a really big issue for me…grrr, which is why I’ve taken up coffee drinking at 9pm (when I get up on non-uni days) so I can get work done (yes, it’s retarded, but I’m not depriving myself of sleep seeing as I have 2-3 hr naps each arvo when I get home from uni). Coffee doesn’t taste that great or bad for that matter, but I did find that a few hours after my morning coffee, my hands shook if I tried to hold them still. I made a promise that I wouldn’t be a drinker or a coffee drinker at the end of high school because I wanted to have an a mind totally unspoiled by unnecessary chemicals so that should I choose to be a brain surgeon like the awesome Charlie Teo (who does not drink coffee or alcohol because they affect the steadiness of his hands).
You know what, it almost seems that most of us are going through a second rite of passage…some of our lives and the resultant emotions are so unstable and volatile. It reminds me of my ambiguous emo poetry writing days…only without the emo and bad poetry. Someone recently (well, not recently, more like 2 months ago) said to me that I should stop being so careful and hesitant with my life & that I should just make a mess of it like a young person should. I resent that-but I will not hold it against them, they were after all they were going through something really bad themselves so I can see where their frustration comes from.
However, I like having an orderly life & I like the fact that I have a path to head down. I like the fact that I can wake up and remember where I am and what I was doing the night before (usually studying, but that’s beside the point). You can be young in more than one way. Fuck, I’m just going to go eat some sand now.
I am currently wiki-ing ‘vomiting’-not for uni research, just for my own personal interest of course (because I will have to throw up the sand after I finish ingesting it). Wow...there's a 14th century artwork depicting vomiting on wikipedia...how awesome (the guy seems to be vomiting mud though...I say stick to the sand, dirt is not your friend).
If I got to see just one of you guys now-I’d go ecstatically insane with happiness (that didn’t make sense, because I used ‘ecstatically’ inappropriately, but that’s what would happen).
We’ve got so much to go through before we really understand anything.
Did you know that if you eat nutmeg i.e. by itself & not in some cake, then it makes you high? I didn’t even know it had that kind of effect, I wonder how much you’d have to eat…wth is it anyway, is it a nut (that might sound stupid, but you never know-just because it has ‘nut’ in it doesn’t mean it’s a nut).
In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response. Large doses of 60 g (~12 teaspoons) or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain[1] In amounts of 10-40 g (~4-8 teaspoons) it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria. Nutmeg contains myristicin, a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor.
A test was carried out on the substance that showed that, when ingested in large amounts, nutmeg takes on a similar chemical make-up to MDMA (ecstasy)MDMA.. However, use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards.
A risk in any large-quantity (over 25 g, ~5 teaspoons) ingestion of nutmeg is the onset of 'nutmeg poisoning', an acute psychiatric disorder marked by thought disorder, a sense of impending doom/death, and agitation. Some cases have resulted in hospitalization.

And nutmeg is a seed...wait but seeds are generally considered to be nuts right?...Dammit.
SO many of the things I talk about are trivial and usually pretty stupid, but I enjoy divulging these thoughts to you guys because it entertains me. It’s just like me writing excessively long letters to people when I’m usually just writing them for myself because it’s kind of like a weird therapy.
I've got an old Life Magazine, and there's a picture of Paul McCartney pouting...it's disturbing...old men aren't made for pouting. Seriously.
