DEP

Are eggs classified as "dairy"? like, in the same category as milk and butter and such?

CHEWY DRAGEES

Am I the only person who gets really hungry when people talk about the planet earth? A thick, hot, molten center encased in a delicious crisp crust? It sounds like a giant galactic truffle or something. Sometimes I think I might have a mild fixation with food. Eating is fun I guess.

Also, sometimes chewy candy is referred to as a "dragee" on the packaging. What in the name of god is a "dragee"? It's a mentos! and a mentos alone! I have now decided to look this word up.

–noun
1. a sugarcoated nut or candy.
2. a small, beadlike piece of candy, usually silver-colored and used for decorating cookies, cake, and the like.
3. a sugarcoated medication.
Origin:
1850–55; < F; OF dragee, dragie < ML drageia < MGk *dragéa, for Gk tragma sweetmeat, dried fruit

It seems like there is actually nothing to disprove the validity of "dragee"; however I am still kind of furious about it. It's hard to explain why.

I KISSED A BOY, IT WAS OKAY

At the beginning of the song Hot 'n Cold, Katy Perry says that the subject of the song "changes [their] mind like a girl changes clothes". It is meant to be an insult, but to be honest is changing your mind on average two or three times a day from a small but diverse range of choices really all that abnormal?

FRONTAL LOBA

Can animals get lobotomies? What sort of effect would it have?

here is a picture of me:

PUNCTUATION

I feel semicolons might be the classiest kind of punctuation there is. It's hard to say why; perhaps the layering of colon and comma reminds me of some kind of layer cake, or chandelier. Maybe the way they divide sentences is reminiscent of...some kind of...hedge maze.

um.

yessssssssssssss that hits the spot;;;;;;

WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA

So apparently eating chocolate negates the effects of a Dementor. So lets say there was a Dementor attack; would you be safe and/or invulnerable if you were inside a chocolate factory? It seems feasible that just inhaling the fumes would offer some kind of protection; apparently the smell of chocolate is almost as pleasureable as the taste, and in France they apparently have these little sachets that have nothing in them, they just smell like chocolate. Actually I might have just imagined that, but I'm pretty sure it was in New Scientist or something. I read that magazine a lot, so I think I might sometimes try and validate my ramblings by subconciously creating non-existent articles from New Scientist to back them up.

This is beside the point.

So lets say I was a worker in a chocolate factory, and work with chocolate every day, would this mean that I am invulnerable to Dementor attacks? Or, on the other hand, does it mean that I have become so accustomed to the smell of chocolate that if I were attacked by a Dementor, eating chocolate would not negate the effects of the attack?

I was thinking about this while I walked home, it was about an hours worth of walking, but I think I negated any positive effects it may have had on me by buying and then consuming far too much chocolate at a supermarket on the way.

HOMOSEXUALITY

I think that In Your Eyes by Kylie Minogue is crying out for an acoustic cover,

performed by me.

QUESTIONS

much like Gin Wigmore, I got some questions in my mind:

- If we evolved from apes, but the less evolved versions of us died out, then how come apes still exist?
-How do they get the noodle cakes of pot noodles into the shape of the pot?
-When you steam milk using a coffee machine, wouldn't the steam condense into water from the coldness of the milk and make the milk watery?
-Do you ever think that maybe there is a planet where the only life-form is electrical pulses deep within the clouds surrounding the planet (or something), and that's how they live our their existence? In short bursts of light and heat, and then nothingness? Are they capable of thought?

SPOOKS

i am haunted by:

-Clocks that are at 12.34pm.
-Streetlamps that turn off as I walk under them.
-Plane crashes.
-Peas.
-Angela Lansbury.
-Baking flour.
-Square corners.

FISH

If Japanese people eat so much fish, then how are they still able to find fish in the seas around Japan? Lets not underestimate the intelligence of fish, surely they would cotton on that by living near Japan they are essentially sealing their own fate. Wouldn't the fish go somewhere else?

Also,

There is a shop near where I live that has a sign; the sign says "DRYCLEANERS/RECYCLED FASHION", which sounds pretty fishy if you ask me. Think about it. Anyway, why does 'fishy' mean untrustworthy? I think I could trust a fish. I guess it depends on the situation, and the fish. Is a dolphin a fish? I would trust a dolphin. Maybe.
