Journal Some Woman's Journal: I'm actually just holding this book to look smart 10

Journal by Some Woman

Stupid pipes cracking. Radiators leaking (well, radiator anyway- mine). Apparently they have to drain the entire system to fix the pipe. At least the water will be a little more fresh, because- believe me- this stuff isn't.

I have a sort-of job interview this week. With a staffing company. We'll see if anything comes of it.

I should go to class. I don't know if I have class today, but I should go anyway.

Sounds like somebody pulled a fire alarm in one of the dorms down the street. Bastards. It's not funny any more. And will continue to be not funny for as long as I live on the street between the fire station and the dorms. A "funny" implementation of emergency vehicles is you throwing a huge party and serving so many underage people that the cops have to go back to get more citations slips. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our street amusing.

    When the cops come, all the underage people hide in the back room under the ping pong table.
    • It's still fun to watch. I think the record was 9 police cars simultaneously on a 1-block stretch of road. Unfortunately the party of interest was on the same side of the street as us. It's makes for much better watching when the people across from us get busted.
  • Just checked your website. I used to work for a research lab at Penn State that worked with Non-Newt fluids. We tested them for use in polishing tank and helicopter engines. Toss in some oil, carbon emulsifier and polishing grit, force through under high pressure and presto! An old engine polished clean as new without having to disassemble. There was some issues at first with playing with the viscosity and the cohesion. Interesting to see other people work with the stuff as well.

    • We got to play with non-newtonian fluids and we were just little kids! My mum, i am realising more and more as i age, is just awesome.

      Yep, she had us building things, breaking things, learning about stuff- we got into so many school fights because we argued with other kids. No santa claus, world is round, don't touch mercury, we've got a liquid that doesn't do that at home. Yes we do. Call my mum if you don't believe me.

      I also realise, as i get older, that my teachers probably got as many grey hairs fro

      • ps does that mean that witches can turn you into a 'non-newt' instead of a newt?

        Yeah, but they have to kiss the bugger for that, so they seldom bother.;)

        • nobody ever tells you how young grownups are. They're in this separate room. And when you end up over there in the adult world, it's not young/old division any more. The people who all looked the same age when we were kids now look all different ages. And if i'd known how young my mum was when she had the lot of us, things might have been different, but you don't get to know those things when you're a kid.

          This is a good thing, because it measn you think your parents know what they're doing and can sleep a

      • we used to play with slime and silly putty, which are both non-newtonian. we also made our own slime out of corn starch + water. its characteristics were sort of between store bought slime and silly putty. fun stuff.
  • serving so many underage people

    I first read that as servicing so many underage people and went WOAH, WHAT IS SHE INTO???

    Carry on...
