If there is anything you want to shout from the rooftops but dont have a ladder, then this is for YOU! (plus it is a lot safer than climbing on top of a building)

Would you be incriminating yourself if I asked why and you answered?
Nah, I brought it cause I could, and it was like.... $15 USD, including postage.

It was kind of crowded and annoying anyway. I don't think I'll ever understand it; you can make them out of metal, make them neon colored, throw them around, and people will still just walk right into you space without the slightest sense of caution... SPINNING THINGS WILL
HURT YOU, DOLTS! /vent

^^^100% agree. Whether it be glowstick, glow poi, and some people fire poi, and in that case I have to yell at them for being retarded in so many ways. They could be red hot spiked metal balls being swung around at supersonic speeds and they're try and play Frogger with them.
Birthday party was awesome. One friend turned 19 the other 25 yesterday. They are a couple which makes that pretty awesome, also kinda points out the cradle-robbing, but they're both awesome
Also, Facebook is telling me that it's Mr. Thomas's birthday on Monday. It shall be his 27th my head math tells me! On monday we need to give a big happy birthday to Nevisoul ;D

Can you take off your FULLY SYNTHETIC JUMPSUIT, remove the oil slick from your hair, remove that stupid woven hemp bracelet and sign a waiver please?

When people ask me if they want to try with glowsticks I have no problem, I just say wait for this song to end, can't you see I'm jammin here?! I think it's hilarious sometimes. But when I do poi I've never had someone say they were as good/better than me, they usually tell me how good I am and say how they could never do that crazy fire or they just politely ask if they can try out my glowsticks. Usually idiots only give me what I am deciding to name the "Frogger Problem."

i think the frogger problem could be sorted out at the door. ALL IDIOTS should be smacked as hard as the bouncer can smack them with a chunk of kevlar on a rope then that way they know how much it can hurt and hopefully when they see others doing they stay outta the way......but that is assuming smart idiots are attending

Also, it is now Nevisoul's birthday! Happy Birthday Mr. Thomas! It says in facebook he was born in 1983 so that would make it his 27th, I think, unless my math is different in some way,

Hmm... Remember that 5mW laser that I brought? It's arriving tomorrow, and my Physics teacher at school wants to buy it off me now. So, I'm letting him... Then putting the proceeds towards a 100mW laser.
They're not that much more expensive!

Does anyone know how to bring down a fever cause by a sunburn by any chance?

It a she How many guys... you know what nvm that lol. A lot of guys do go out and tan. Actually this was from being in a pool but whatever.
Also I'm kinda in that in between groups of friends thing again because all of my other friends are graduating -.- I hate this time. At least it's not as long as last time it happened where I was like a month or 2 with no friends and that's actually where I got really good at poi if you're wondering. So yes admittedly for about a month and a half poi was my life outside of school and I'll admit it.
This time my group of friends I think is going to be the runners because I already hang with them, just not a ton right now. They suit me well though I must say. Also made friends with a cheerleader so that can't go bad, btw she's the one that's sunburned lol. Also I learned yesterday he lived out in bfe.
Also she did see a doctor she went to the ER after we hung out yesterday. Her back and shoulders, and her arms but not as bad, were practically like a lobster. We were in Target and someone stopped and said "You know you're really red right?" "Yup" "Ok just checking, so am I haha." Quite a deep conversation I must say
Also she may be taken right now, but I do like her a lot and it made my day Felt like that needed shouting from the rooftops

Yeah, all my second degree burns from the sun happened while snorkeling in UV intense hours (water reflects and magnifies the sun's rays) oh the blisters, firm believer in reapplying sunscreen now . Tell her to do the lukewarm soaks, follow doctor's orders, and take a mild NSAID (advil, tylenol) every 4 hours...
However......
If she is burned as harshly as I've burned before, she isn't going to feel up to it fever or not!
Glad you had a good day though!!!!!

Nah it's not really bad. It's just red, no blisters or anything, also she could touch it without really any pain so it's not too bad I think, it's really big though. And red, it's red haha.

Oh, yeah - of course, no pointing at planes/other things in the sky aside from stars (sure way to get yourself slapped in jail here), no pointing in eyes, the usual safety things - I'm no stranger to lasers.
