Wanted to get that other journal off my front page… so…

Awesome day. I was cleaning out some of the back storeroom and ran across a bunch of bottles of white glue and a box full of Borax. The Borax (a kind of laundry soap) is used to keep away insects and pests (not the human variety, sadly)… but it also does fun things when mixed with white glue.

First and foremost, it turns the glue rubbery and bouncy. And when you roll them into small balls and add in a bit of glitter, you get a plethora of very interesting-looking bouncy balls. I filled a coffee can with them and stuck them under my desk to use as ammo later.

Then, since I was bored, I used some string, a few old pens, a lot of masking tape, and the remains of my rubber-band ball to fashion myself a doesn’t-work-very-well sling shot. And of COURSE I had to practice.

I aimed at the poster that causes me horrifying nightmares, trying hard to hit the anti-grammar-target. “All of us IS going.” *sheesh* I can’t believe I work at a print company that’s had that hanging on the wall for nine months.

…I didn’t do so well with the shooting, although I blame the make-shift sling shot more than I blame me. I need to do a bit more work on my weapon of mass chaos. And do a slightly better job hiding the evidence, as well. The woman who works the front desk was sending me evil looks.

Of course, that could also be due to the cornstarch/water mixture I gave her. Have you ever mixed cornstarch and water? It is hard when you push on it, but it drips when you try to pick it up. It’s freaking cool. I put it on her desk and she made a mess trying to get it up. That could have been the problem too. I put green coloring in it to make it slimy.

Horrible Harry’s green slime. Harold and his silly crayon have nothing on me. (inside joke) If only I could have gotten super-indelible-never-come-off-until-you’re-dead-or-maybe-even-later coloring…

*lmao* She wanted to know if I needed a babysitter today.

Had an eye appointment that I just got back from. Doctor said I’m as blind as a bat. Blinder, actually, since bats really see almost as well as humans. Good thing my ears are so good and I can hear people coming. I now wear -9 power contacts. This puts me at about 20/1600 – I can see at 20 feet what the normal person could see at 1600 feet.

I went to Target and got some scented bubble liquid. Tomorrow’s going to be fun as well.

I’m going to go make supper now that I’ve chased my rant off my front page. Later.
