lip chap

Do you remember the grade school science fairs? The projects in those fairs usually are the same every year. (volcanic erupting, plant location growth,and rainbow in the water.) Now I am not claiming indie status but I sometimes get turned off by trendy/overdone things. So when I was younger I did my science projects on observing people.

I like to observe people.

A lot of time, while observing people, I pick up their habits, beliefs, slang, and menstrual cycles*.

The clearest and earliest memory of this sort of situation is about how I started biting my nails. Martha had her fingers in her mouth and nine or ten year old me asked her, "What are you doing?" She replied, "I'm biting nails, don't do it." Since then I have been a nail bitter.

I also picked up my chap stick obsession from my sisters. (I don't remember which one, I blame them all.) My school days will go horrible if I do not have my chap stick.

I recently ran out of lip balm so I went to the store to replace it. I decided not to buy chap stick brand. So instead I brought this other yellow brand, Burt's Bees. Burt's Bees is better than chap stick.

The guy on this program said a Charm School Opera would be interesting. I have to agree with him.
