Fits of hysteria and violent outbursts can only lead to one thing...

So, great news folks! I officially have feeling in my thumb. I learned this the hard way. All I wanted was some toast and honey, but the outcome wasn't very sweet. (Punny, I know!) It was quite disastrous. It seems that I accidentally put my thumb directly into the toaster... Not my brightest moment, I must admit. I ended up with second degree burns and a thumb that was definitely feeling it. In fact, I think the whole thing was magnified by my nerve damage making it 10000x worse. All in all, not the best 10 minutes of my life. Just sayin'.

So, I got this new product for my hair... It's like chemicals. It smells like chemicals. It's called Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Blow Dry Perfector, or some other long fancy-sounding name. I got it for Christmas. I was a bit skeptical at first. For one, I usually don't put things in my hair that require you to wear gloves to apply and instructs you to "call poison control immediately" following a lot of contact to skin... That's just a bad sign. Knowing me and my habit of spilling things, I thought it may have not been the most well-thought-out present. Keep chemicals away from me; I will get hurt. I may also have been skeptical for the fact that upon opening the bottle, my nose was filled with such noxious fumes that I had to break out my emergency Harijuku Lovers bottle and spray down my bathroom like I was extinguishing a house fire. Like any good skeptic, I decided to do some research on the Internet before using these products... I found that it had extremely positive reviews, so I decided to try it... Let me just say.... I have never, not once in my entire life, been able to say (without a visit to a hairdresser) that I am completely satisfied with my hair. Tonight, I am. It is perfectly straight, thin, and smooth. I can ask for nothing more. I am so happy that I feel like dancing. But, I always feel like dancing so that doesn't mean much...

On a different, more raging note, I am FURIOUS. I haven't eaten a chocolate creemie with chocolate sprinkles in months. I am dying, devastated. I have never gone this long. Actually, I have. Last winter. And I went into a state of depression. I am considering buying a creemie machine so I don't fall back into the same black hole of endless night. I hate winter. Actually, I don't. But I hate that creemie stores close in the winter. I don't CARE that they don't make a profit! I would buy creemies every day! I don't care how cold it is! I WANT ICE CREAM! You know what? I will be their sole customer! I will buy all of their creemies every day and they WILL make a profit. SO HMPH, take that evil creemie stores! You can't deprive me any longer- I won't let you!

OK, I feel like your eyes are all getting wide. Oh shit, Dylan's gone crazy again. I'm sorry guys. It's just... I'm going through major creemie withdrawal. My symptoms include fits of hysteria, anxiety, insomnia, blackouts, and outbursts.

Not really.

I don't want you to think I am a psycho.

I'm not.

Really.

Kind of.

Sort of.

Okay.

Maybe a little.

Anyway! I'm going to sleep so... Until later, my friends.

Well, hi, chickadees! (And... chicka....dudes? idk.) I thought that photo was clever, was it not? So, anyway, quick update! Vacation ends tomorrow (=o). I'm sort of freaking out. See, I was not very productive over break... I have a LOT to do today. I will probably be up pretty late tonight. Which is okay, I guess, since I got 12 hrs sleep last night. (Though I am yawning right now, which makes little to no sense........)

Well, I'd better get to it! Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me! (Okay, I will admit it. I did spend the majority of break watching re-runs of South Park and Kim Possible. Don't judge.)

More later! CK

I'm the Get-Out-Of-My-Spotlight one!

Hi guys! This is the first post of 2011, yay! (And I know what you're all thinking- 2 posts in 2 days?!) Well, yeah. I'm back. In 2011, I'm going to experiment with photo-blogging, quickie posts from my phone, etc, so that I can keep my blog more up to date. It's hard since I'm always super-busy! So, you may have noticed that I updated my layout... The old one was nice, I liked it, but I wanted a more simplistic feel. So this is just an experimentation- hope you like it!

So, to begin, how about some poetry? It's been a while, I know. Here's a poem I wrote a few weeks ago... I was bored and feeling inspired.

The Real Me

People say I'm the brainy one

The smart one,

The genius one.

By people, I mean everyone

And that's just fine by me.

But I'm not just the brainy one

Underneath, I'm loads of fun!

I'm many ones;

I'm everyone!

So who are you to me?

I'm the optimistic one,

The sometimes narcissistic one

The never pessimistic one

It's really good to be-

The funny one, the happy one!

The almost always smiley one

The fearless one, the daring one

Everyone is me.

But I'm also the scared one,

The lonely one, the bored one

I'm the dulled and dimmed one

That no one really sees

But I'm the bright-idea one!

The crafty one, the happy one

I'm really just the nice one

And that's all I'll ever be

I'm the outrageous one,

The get-out-of-my-spotlight one!

I'm the would-be glamorous one

Screaming, "me, me, me, me, ME!"

I may not be the perfect one;

The perfect one isn't anyone

I have flaws like everyone

And that's what makes me, me.

I'll still be the confident one

'Cause I can take you down at Scrabble, hun

Remember? I'm the brainy one

Don't even challenge me.

I'm the real outdoorsy one

The musical one, the skiing one

If you thought I was just the brainy one,

Take a closer look and see- the real me.

I know that was pretty long- took up three pages in my journal! But I think it was really good for me to write. Sometimes, you lose track of who you are in life. You get caught up in what other people think of you, and you forget what you think about yourself. In times like these, it's good to take a moment to remember that there is more than one side to everyone! It was fun to brainstorm all the different dimensions of me, and then it was even more fun to compose the poem. I looooove the rhyme scheme. I know it's just a fun, playful poem, so it's not supposed to be some genius work of Wordsworth. But, hey, for 15 minutes on a Friday night? I think I did pretty well.

So, I hope you all have a fabulous 1st week of 2011- I know I plan to! School is starting back up, so I have a lot of homework to do... I hope everyone was happy and healthy for the New Year!

Let me know what you think about the new layout!
