Word.
Sensitive plants (mimosa) are interesting. I poke them continuously and watch their leaves curl up. My life is a riot.
In other news, I don't think I'll ever get a good night's sleep ever again. And it has nothing to do with an obsession over mimosas.

Goddamnit SS is right.
Oh, and Corn is delicious thrown on a grill still in its husk.... seasoned with spices and butter afterwards.
please explain that to Nebraska
In other news, my roommate had a girl over tonight and she made all eight of us dinner. We realized if each of us got a girl to make dinner for the group on a monthly basis, we could get eight free meals a month (+leftovers). Not to mention we can also ask more than one girl per dude...

I had to write a paper on corn my freshman year of college. I think I'm all out of desire to talk about corn. Not that I had any desire to talk about it in the first place.
That's an unusual topic. What exactly did you have to say about it?
Anyway, even ten years ago Robin Williams was too old to bleach his hair. I wonder what he was thinking.

It was for an English class, where the whole semester we focused on a book called The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I'd tell you if it was a good book or not, but I only read the first chapter. A good portion of the beginning of the book talks about corn. How it's produced, how farmers are screwed over by corporations, how it's in pretty much everything, etc. Basically, the paper was about "Quantity vs. Quality." There's a lot of corn being grown, mostly for feedlots, making it pretty much worthless. Farmers have to grow more corn with genetically modified organism, etc. As someone who has lived around corn and small-scale farmers her whole life, it was exceedingly boring. I did get to write a research paper about the use of hormones and antibiotics in the livestock industry later in the semester, which was much more interesting to me. I actually kind of had fun with that one even though I stayed up until 5:30am writing the first draft.
I've been lucky in that most of the papers I've written have all been about topics I really enjoyed since we choose.. which usually ended up in me being a massive theatre nerd, or pushing other people's buttons. Sophomore year of high school, my big research paper was done on LeVeyan Satanism.. my teacher was not too thrilled. Pretty sure she docked me a ton of points only because she was appalled.
