♥ a burst of creativity. kind of.
Usually, when I'm having some trouble in the creativity department, I smoke a bowl with my dearest friends and wait for the brilliance to set in. It's hit-and-miss, of course, because sometimes I end up with a great idea and sometimes I think about it later and wonder what the hell I was thinking.
For instance, the other night, as I colored with Ali's new sharpies, I began to notice a pattern, prompting me to inform my friends that all colors are actually the same.
"See," I told them conspiratorially, "They're all basically the same color! Yellow turns into red because of orange, red turns into blue because of purple, and blue turns back into yellow because of green!"
Shockingly, my friends seemed less than impressed.
This was okay, though, because earlier that day, I'd come up with a genius idea that will require only a basic understanding of physics, which of course I don't posess. Anyway, when you're drinking a frappuccino, when you get about 2/3 of the way done with it, it gets to that annoying stage where you basically just suck out the stuff encased in the straw area, and for anything outside of that jurisdiction, you're going to have to move your straw. I hate that. You have to stir it like every two sips. But fear not, for I have invented this amazing cup that actually stirs as you drink! You know how at the pretzel stand at the mall, they have those lemonade thingies that just stir and stir and stir so the pulp doesn't settle? It's like that, only in your very own cup!
I guess I was spent after that one.
