The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

I'm thinking, people are incredibly resilient. I mean, we don't get upset over everything that gets on our nerves.
I'm going to make a list of things that aren't entirely awesome, only a few examples of things I witness on a day to day basis:
- Deoderant that leaves white marks.
- Mosquito bites.
- Shoelaces that are too long.
- My lunch cut in half rather than in fours.
- How inside joggers the little bit that is tied under the laces falls to the sides.
- When the lights flicker and you may think that there is likely to be a power failure.
- Global warming.
I could just as well go on and on, but I'm certain you wouldn't hear it. But, yea, do you get it?
Usually people point out the positives but all of the negatives just go to show how easy it is to learn to live with it. I mean, I dilsike all of the above, and I'm sure nobody seriously adores them, but I have never seriouslt lost it about any of those things. I mean, I've never smahed anyone in the face for giving me a sandwich not cut the way I like it, locked myself in my room for a day because my shoes bothered me or cried myself to sleep about deoderant.
Anyone agree that we can get over all of the things that do bother us just how we ignore the teensy things?

For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

Actually Heath I LOVE dramatic pauses... havent time for them myself usually as apparntly I talk waaaaaaaaaaay too fast ( not to mention too much as proven my current vocal chord sprain!) still I enjoy drama!
And since I havent had a good dose of drama in a while here is a list of ways to have fun drama in your life:
1) You are never too old for makebelive if you have a boring job to do pretend you are a spy undercover ( nancy drew or james bond style its up to you)!
2) Make up ridiculous stories about people on the bus with you, the more amusing the better personally I am fond of the obviously this person is an alien who have come to acknowledge me as a superior being and gift me with castles in the sky ( or spain)
3) If its rain go out do a jig and burst into song, come on you know you want to!
4) try skipping down the road , or moon walking if you preffer, maybe even spinning in circles till you are dizzy!
5) make sure you wear socks when you are cleaning the kitchen ( or bathroom is big enough that too) put on some music and 'iceskate' - umm if you are a mum make sure your kids cant see you because its not exactly safe!
6) Go on climb a tree!
7) dance around and sing crazy songs when you are doinghouse work ( Johnny cash's get rhythm, elvis's rubberneckin' and James Brown's Get UP off of that Thing make good starting point!)
8) Amusing things other people can't see specifically fun underware ( including stripy socks! ) bizzare costume jewlery (like ankle bracelets belly buttong rings etc,) or if you cover your hair dye it a bizzare colour! Sometimes I like to draw smily faces on my knees and write thinsg like SMILE! nobody sees my knees so who cares? I know its there and it makes me chuckle.
9) Wear fancy clothes! I have some prom dresses I bought for under a fiver than I chopped up and changed into everyday skirts and other stuff, but wearing them always makes me feel rather grand!
10) If all else fails to make you smile or laugh, go hunt down a romance ( like a propper mills and boons/ Harlequin ) and try reading a passage or two aloud if the drama there doesnt make you laugh Im sorry but you are a lost case!
My mission in life is to make YOU smile

Ahh, Nightshade. You like them? If you say so, I don't mind them on some occassions, but when they just go on forever.... So I'm cutting that out.
Haha. I like the drawing smiley faces, I do that. My mum slides around in socks.
I like coming up with a new theory every day, but it is much too early for that...

Like I should do right now.
Not an expert in the field, but I would rather not risk my own liver in order to find out what doses of what poison may make it stronger. I would rather wait until I get proof from tests done on someone else's liverI won't risk mine, just in case, unless I have nothing else to lose, like if I were doomed to die anyways. Maybe only in such case I would conduct some experiment on myself, just because I wouldn't have much to lose. However, I doubt the capacity of livers to get stronger. Remember our organism is not the big thing, in terms of strength.
Disc golf rocks.
I see... I doubt I would try it either, but I like to think. In that case, seeing as a lot of this tolerance depends on what happens before birth, is there a possibility that things, like a moderate amount of alcohol and drugs, consumed by a mother whilst she is pregnant, could it be of benefit to the child? Like how people have tried to wipe out rabbits or something by poisoning them, and some survive and become immune to that particular poison, then so do their children. Seeing as we have a little more technology then a bunch of rabbits, we will most probably be able to avoid killing off most of our species and be able to reproduce super-kids who don't seem effected by small doses of alchohol or drugs. Of course, that would mean people take more to get the same hit, however it is less likely you'll go into a fit after getting your drink spiked. Or this could be reversed, and then if pregnant women are kept incredibly healthy, no chemicals, not even coffee or chocolate, anything that could create an effect on an unborn child. That could result in a race of children that were highly susceptible to illness, etc. If women are hyped up on important vitamins that are beneficial then it is possible that they may help them.Not an expert in the field, but I would rather not risk my own liver in order to find out what doses of what poison may make it stronger.

So, who believes me?

How come "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing?
