It's not my fault

On an unrelated note, I'm never going outside again. Ever.

Oh baby this poison ivy thing really sucks. There is no end to the torment that is constant, persistent itching. The worst part is that you aren't supposed to scratch it. Then let's say that you actually violate that rule, then what? It should feel better, right? That's how these things work, something itches, I scratch it, it feels better. Not so with poison ivy. No, in fact scratching it only seems to making the itching more intense, causing to you scratch harder, causing you to itch more, causing you to scratch to the point where you have either made the area numb or have broken the skin. Neither being particularly desirable scenarios.

But, not thinking about it does help. So I'm going to change the subject.

Taste. I said once that I would like to keep my sense of taste, assuming that one of my five senses had to be abandoned. Yet I have a very picky sense of taste.

For instance, I don't like coffee, milk, tea, most all fruits and vegetables, or pizza.

Dude, I was totally kidding about the pizza. I mean, c'mon. I am in college, right? Without that and beer I'm not sure what I would sustain myself with.

But this is what gets me about my predicament. People like to act as those I had some conscious decision in what I do and do not like. "What you don't like coffee? Why?" "Um, it tastes bad." "You're weird." It's not my fault! Really, people, I'm not sure what causes people to like certain foods over others, but I really have no control over my gag reflex when I smell green beans, do I? So what if I can't even stand banana flavoring? And I don't care what you say, that doggie treat ain't no picnic either.

So, I guess that's all I really wanted to say for today. A remarkably less busy day today, but I think I'm still in stress detox mode or something. My brain hasn't been workin' too good lately.

Ugh, I can't stand it when people misuse adjectives and adverbs. I also wish more people understood the differnce between "who" and "whom," but that may be pushing it a bit. Subject-verb agreement I think is a good place to start.

Thought for the Day

Why is it even necessary for the Poison Ivy plant to exist? From what I've read, most animals don't seem to have a reaction to the "poison," so it can't be a defense mechanism. I mean, honestly, the only significant purpose that plant serves is to irritate as much of the 90% of the population that has an allergic reaction to the plant.

Someone once asked me if I could ask God one quesiton, what would it be.

I'm officially changing my answer.
