I got to blow stuff up last night! I allowed my inner chemistry geek to come out and it was fun! Some students from that university down the road AKA Duke came on campus to do some chemistry demonstrations. Initially I was there for the extra credit assignment, but things kinda changed once they started blowing stuff up! Ever since I was a little kid in single digit age I have had a fasination with fire and explosives. Hence my lovely lighter collection and the running gossip that I was the one who tried to burn my elementary school down when it caught fire!
But anywho, there were 2 Dukies that where graduate Chem majors and they shared this same fasination as I. It was odd that when I walked in (I got there early) I walked up to them and in jest said "are yall gonna blow anything up, cuz if not, I'm leaving!". They laughed and smiled and replied "ooooooh yeah". So the demo starts and my 2 dudes come up to do there first experiment. They basically made an explosion in a water bottle and after they were done, they asked the magic question "anyone wanna volunteer to try it?" Mannnnn I got st8 up and went to the front without hesitation. The other members was scared! WTH? So I got to make my explosion and I was pumped!
After the demo's were over we had light refreshments and I found myself in conversation with the 2 Dukies (there where 6, but they were the ones that blew stuff up) about the composition of fireworks. Surprizingly enough, I contributed quite a bit to the conversation and knew about 80% of what they were talking about! Is all this chem study paying off? I dunno!
My classmates were talking about how I was excited, but I didn't care. It's not my fault they were boring and didn't want to participate in the demos! It's not my fault they couldn't careless what they where doing as long as they got there extra credit! It's not my fault they don't like fire and explosives as much as I do! Blah!
Some people claim their element is water...with the blue, the calm, the fluidness, etc. I say bump all that and give me FIRE!!!!!!!

that's just a reflection of your fiery personality. i love blowing things up, too.
uh, this post might scare away potential boyfriends, though. they're probably thinking about their precious possessions and how you could set them afire if they piss you off.
*snicker* When I think of fire, I think of that "Waiting to Exhale" moment when she set his Beemer on fiyah...gotta love it
okay...remind me not to say anything negative about you....(stepping away from the keyboard)...lol
BLOW IT UP, girl!!! LOL
