Hey hey look what I did

Fun facts of the day:
If you go to a logging site, there will not be signs bearing warnings about unsafe areas. You are on your own to figure that shit out.

If you get the sap of a balsam fir on your ass/person/clothes/BDUs, it will not come off in the wash cycle, or the dryer, or from direct scrubbing.

I know this because upon sitting on a recently harvested stand of firs, the resin blisters exploded on the seat of my pants. Which sounds, incidentally, much more disgusting than it actually is.
The outcome... is simply that my ass smelled like Christmas Trees all day.
So now, after a good wash, the seat of my uniform pants... still smells like Christmas Trees. Thus the scent, quite literally, follows me around all day. Pleasant but occasionally disconcerting.

Also...isn't it interesting the way we personify our electronics? They've become such a part of our daily lives that a phrase like "My computer died" is met with condolences. However, for some reason the phrase "My (insert malfunctioning electronic here) took a shit on me," which has become a commonly used staple in my vernacular, is still met with sideways looks and sarcastic remarks on the literal interpretation of the phrase. To which I respond, come on guys, too easy. Really. Put in some effort.

I made some worthwhile poetry this evening. It would figure on my creative streak that I have HOURS of legit work ahead of me. Physiology is so goddamn interesting it makes me literally giddy with glee. In class if the Prof, who is (on a sidenote) an incredibly intelligent, interesting, remarkably demanding and DETAIL-ORIENTED woman, starts to cover something I have a resovoir of knowledge about (which is reasonably often) I can barely stay in my seat. I practically have to physically restrain myself from jumping up and screaming something like "YEAH! And the botulinum toxin type A is what they use in cosmetic botox but it's a particular isoform because the toxin is the most toxic protein that exists!!! Freakin' SWEET!"

Cause uh, generally that kind of enthusiasm is frowned upon. For some reason. Donno. Whatever.
