there is algebra in gasoline

i'm sad that i haven't blogged much lately. classes, lack of ideas, stuff like that. :[

but it's okay! i think it's safe to say you will get a post from me typically within 2-5 days, max 10. (around the one week mark is when i start to feel bad that pineapple is being neglected.)

alright so..

FINGERNAILS ON CHALKBOARDS. AAJJ A JAJ AJ JA. yeah, i know, everyone's supposed to like, cringe at the thought of that or whatever, but realistically, when was the last time you actually heard fingernails scratching huge streaks down a chalkboard? yeah, not recently, if even ever at all outside your imagination.

however, i am faced with a similar type of feeling quite often, that i think most people don't realize. well, or maybe they just don't share the same opinion about it. so, one day i came to realize that i personally find the sound of chalk writing on a blackboard to be really irritating, in a nearly cringe-ful kind of way. if you listen to it closely, chalk on blackboard is actually very abrasive, and results in a sound not unlike sandpaper being rubbed on a block of wood. the best way to notice it is when you yourself actually use chalk and write on the blackboard. yep.

listen to it next time! makes me wanna cringe. hopefully it does the same for you so we can share in our pain. :]

-my favorite brand of boxers, and only brand that i wear, is banana republic. i'm a fan of the style, comfort, cool simple designs, and generous inseams.
-i peed on my church (cccnj) once, when i was younger. i was like.. maybe 7 or so? just the day before, i had gone apple picking with my family, and my dad, for the first time, taught me how to pee in the bushes. i guess i decided to utilize this skill the next day at church. (for those of you who would know, i peed on the wall opposite the side door of the grange.) and then ben/michelle's dad angrily dragged me away (after i finished my business) to my parents. i don't remember anything after that, though i wish i could have remembered my parents' expressions. heehee.
-i drive barefoot, and prefer driving barefoot over any other foot modification i could have. i remember it started because driving with sandals on wasn't very sturdy, so i took them off. after that, driving barefoot became what i preferred. to me, it just makes sense. there's more of a better feel for the pedals, and the flex of the foot allows more control for smaller and smoother changes in pedal use. that way, there's no worry about having different shoe sole thicknesses, or any odd clunky heels of the shoe. try it sometime! actually, lemme change that to: try it sometime in a safe place!
