People tend to think that fears are irrational. I disagree. If something hurts you, you probably should fear it. For instance, when wasps sting you, they effin’ hurt! So, in order to avoid that pain next time, one remembers the alarm of the last time and therefore avoids the agent of pain (in this case, wasps…evil little things).
Proof that Satan is alive and well.
I just returned from a harrowing dental experience. I’m going to be honest, my pain tolerance is nothing to be proud of. I winced and jerked around (like a dying fish I suppose) while they worked on my raw nerve. I left the office feeling a little violated. However, now I understand why people fear going to the dentist: pain will most likely be involved and our bodies know this. Our instinct screams at us to run, far far away, yet we have to overrule that instinct and go to our scheduled doom.
I suppose fears are simply a part of a healthy human psyche. However, like all things in life, they can sometimes be so extreme that they interfere with a normal life. This is when they are a problem and help should be sought. Until that time, remember why it is you fear what you do, and don’t forget to include your brain in making the ultimate decision of whether or not you avoid it- unless you’re talking about wasps, by all means run like hell from those!

Alright.
This entry is simply to pay my respect to the most awesome invention ever: sweet chili sauce!
I am not entirely sure what ingredients it consists of, probably something sweet and a pinch of chili. But it is so ridiculously, amazingly delicious that I do not care! It could contain the souls of babies, and I would still enjoy it!
Imagine the following dinner: cheap, store-bought fish sticks, and a dull, store-bought 1-minute bag of mashed potatoes that regularly tastes like plastic. Sounds awful!! But with the addition of sweet chili sauce, it became so amazingly yummy, i hardly know how to describe it.
Sweet chili sauce is AWESOME!

It feels like it hath been an eternity since I last blogged!
I'm gonna be an eagle!
I am no longer a teenager! Yayyyy! Twenty is a strange age, me thinks. You’re no longer considered a ‘kid,’ but you’re also not considered an ‘adult.’ (Who wants to be one of those anyway?) 2010 has been good to me so far, let’s hope it continues to do so as I make a rather grand transition from my 2-year Community College to the much larger, 4-year University.
Oh man- I haven’t even applied yet, but I doubt that will be a problem seeing as it is a public school. I do believe I have tentively decided on Psychology as a major. I am also considering going into the counseling side of Psychology, as opposed to the scientific side. And when I say ‘counselor,’ I do not mean the kind that schedules your classes. I actually want to help people with psychological issues!
What else has been going on… Well, I’ve been traveling a bit. Spent a week with my grandma in tiny town of Dayton, WA, came home for a day, and then headed off on a 5-hour car ride to see my sister for the weekend. We had a grand ol’ time, what with an amazingly fatty and delicious dinner (steak, prawns, green beans, bread, crab/artichoke dip, yeahhh I’m going to Hell for gluttony), a bit much wine, way too much 1960’s music/dancing, and I even capped it all off with getting violently ill and having to puke into a large ziploc bag whilst riding home. All in all, ’twas a good weekend. I now have Fall Quarter off and have no idea what I’m going to do with my time. Get a job? Maybe. Apply for scholarships? Yes. Do homework and study for tests?
HELL TO THE NAW!
OH! I also cannot publish this blog without mentioning a very important matter which took place yesterday:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JACKSON!
There, now you can properly hate me.
Peace out.
Hey
Warning, this post is not suitable for minors, people with a weak heart, or people who use the :3 smiley extensively.
With the invention of the internet, the usage of the :3 smiley exploded. And why wouldn’t it? It’s a cute little kittenish smiley, right? Oh look how cute it is!
WELL, ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? HUH?
With this i bid you, keep using this smiley. Because it’s friggin hilarious for us who know the truth. 🙂

Last week I was at Utøya outside Oslo with Rød Ungdom for our summer camp. I’ve been trying to condense it into one blog post, but there’s just no point in trying, so instead you might get these random tidbits of information. For instance, this is the song that almost everyone woke up to, as we, being awesome, blasted it over the speaker system every morning.
And that’s just one more reason to join us.
Yours truly
