Curiosity Got the Best of ME

So...I was up in the cell culture room in one of the labs I work in..today. I opened up the incubator and something caught my eye. No not just cells that I have always seen in there with their red media/food on top..but rather something intensely lemony yellow was in there. Being me, of course I grabbed it..pulled it out and looked at it. Mmmm..it was the most beautiful yellow hue I had seen, but it had chunky white crap all in it, like curdled milk. I put it back..read whose it was too though :D The person will be called "George". I should have thrown George's stuff away though, it was contaminated!! The yellow color occured because the pH indicator in the media--the same media which is feeding the cells had now been taken over by contamination--bacteria. Bacteria which had depleted the resources in the media and started to ferment--a.k.a. produce acid which in turns led the pH to decrease and then viola..yellow awesome colored media! wohoo! Blahhhaha that was a lot to get out!

Anyways...I get back to lab. George is telling me about his experiment. I totally forgot about his yellow awesome stuff. And then he says yah I need to check my exp and I seriously hope it worked. Ding ding dinnnng..it hit me then...I was like George umm..it's very pretty and yellow. He's like WHAT..you touched my shit and looked at it, and threw it away didn't you cuz of the contamination!!....And I said NO, I never throw peoples' contaminated shit away..though I did peek at it :D Well in any case he was pissed his exp didn't work...though he kinda wished I had gotten rid of it. I on the other hand...well umm the yellow color was soo perrrty.

Am I Girly Enough?

Yes I'm back with a post! While the world is giving up on blogging..my blog remains :) yahhh

So here goes..

With all the bottles I have collected over the years of things it made me wonder how girly am I? Or is it just normal. I am the type who has about 30+ bottles of lotion in my bathroom. In addition to body washes, body spritzes, and a wide variety of loofahs and foot scrubbers.

That's not all..I also use a specific line of shampoo & conditioner from a salon, and also use gel, mousse, hair spray, and hair shiny thingy from a salon. My face wash isn't just normal facewash, it's the stuff you have to order by mail and pay like a shitload for. I also have at least 7 bottles of perfume that I wear on a day to day basis. In addition to this all, I also have way too much make-up...I have many different types of foundation (3 at one time!!), blushes, too many eye shadows, bronzers/shiny stuff, mascara's, eye liners..you name it I got it. Jewelry has always been up there too when it comes to jewelry for the hands.

Shoes are a girls best friend. How can you only have one pair of shoes..I try to restrict myself with the amount of shoes I buy..but still I would like to say that I have more than at least 20 pairs.

Clothing is endless..I'm always out buying a new sweater or something.

I love smelly stuff..so not only do I have a collection of small candles..but I also am starting to get a collection of candle warmers, potpourri oils, candle-turn-into-oil deals, as well as plug-ins!

To me this is part of just being a girl. Though I know some friends of mine who will only buy one item, wait till it's finished then go for the next...I simply cannot imagine doing that..what's the fun. I guess I just wanna have so many choices to choose from.

I agree the lotions have gotten outta hand..I was thinking of giving some away to Good Will though I'm not so sure they'd be keen on that..or what..
