How do you find the answer....

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth...

Not only...

Not only have I figured out that the world is my oyster and I can do anything, I have actually discovered a point to chemistry. Now if I could figure out how to create this chemical reactions and get my hands on some chemicals I could have some proper fun!
Things I have learned,

  • Cooking spicy things (peppers) in frying pan can lead to burning sensation in tender skin and inside of nose.
  • Lettuce wedges are indeed what they say and are both not a source of nutrition but also should not be ordered at all.
  • There are several poisons that affect the acetycholinesterase and acetycholine receptors which in turn cause differing affects on the muscular systems ranging from spastic paralysis to flaccid paralysis, most often all are fatal to subject in high doses. Exmples are insecticides and curare. Also there is an autoimmune disease that attacks itself and causes flaccid paralysis too, called myasthenia gravis
  • Interestingly enough some of the poisons can help treat diseases, if in low doses, such as a poison that inhibits acetycholinesterase can help stimulate muscle movement (if too much then there is spastic paralysis) and can be used to treat myasthenia gravis.
  • Being a good person and being pretty has nothing to do with getting a boyfriend.
  • I potentially have an arrogance problem.
  • One cannot take the carotid pulse on both sides at same time as it will cause patient to pass out. This is often used in crime to keep people from screaming (such as "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" on Psych) and/or cause them to pass out or die. Do not try at home, unless you are an evil criminal and then I'm calling the cops
  • Tetanus is used to describe contraction of muscle fibers. Complete contraction is the real deal. People who get tetanus from the infection from a nuerotoxin will exibit signs first in the TMJ (tempromadibular joint) and thus the name "lockjaw." While mortality rates range from 50% to 75%, only 11% of reported cases have been fatal. Good news? This is preventable, so get the SHOT!!!!! Vaccines were created for a reason, not to kill you but to prevent your death!
  • The potential of me enjoying the learning of all this? 100%
So I also, along with some friends, saw the fantastic Midori live. Let's just say the way a violin should be played is fully realized in her.
Studying on a Saturday night? yeah, I might be a loser, but I will be one with an A (fingers crossed).
Aw look, this is how much my other personalities care... :(

Yeah, that was good for your mind..... oh time travel, how you make things so much more interesting and possibly messed up.
Becuase we still have 3 more days of school til "break"
Sherlock cares not for your rules and regulations. He laughs at your compliance with social norms.

Even the great Sherlock Holmes chills on Sundays....
Yes maybe I am random, but  you know what? There are numerous scientific theories based on millions of random interactions. Which really poses the question in life... is anything ever truly random?
