The Little Things :)

     Today's checklist:

• hung out with a new friend,
• caught fireflies,
• bought candy for a dollar,
• cup of tea,
• called my best friend,
• And my other best friend is leaving me tomorrow.... for South Korea.... :(

     ~ Always telling about how people should really appreciate the little things in life more often.. well, I think this - along with other pieces of proof - shall really put it out there that perhaps you wouldn't be such a grouch if you did appreciate the little things, like card games and goldfish. :)

     All the other things on the list are pretty self-explanatory, but my friend, going home to South Korea.... Sadly, her nine months of Americanization is over... we have done our best, and now she is just another Asian-looking American. We gave her American foods, candy, and experiences. Tomorrow she departs on a fourteen-hour plane ride home. Although she is leaving me flustered with her, I still love her, and shall miss her so much! We plan on sending e-mails through facebook and hand-written letters (yes, be surprised and wide-eyed, mailmen will now have something to do other than deliver that junk mail!), and if anybody could kindly tell me how much postage would be from the United States to South Korea, I would greatly appreciate it! :3
     See, the reason I am flustered with her is because I had been planning since early last week that she was not leaving this country without spending at least one more night at my house. And look, she's getting away.... >:/ I had spent the better part of four to five days hearing excuses as to why she couldn't come over that day, or the next, finally just giving up and telling her that she had greatly disappointed me. I had already been through some other saddening things, and needed a friend, but she would not be there for me.... or couldn't, or whatever. I would have loved to call her tonight before she leaves tomorrow, but I did not have her phone number when it wasn't this late - also, she lives in a house with a bunch of other foreign people, who do not speak English as good as her, so if you ask if she's there, you will get a "no", even though you know she's there! So I called my other best friend instead, but he was tired, had a headache, and also has summer school to attend to until August -_- yay! So now I am on here; blogging this boring blog... and having nobody to talk to... perhaps I might get so bored that I will clean the bathroom..... have you ever been to that point of boredom? That you just clean... yeah, that's what I do when I'm upset, cleaning keeps my mind busy, also, because I have run clean out of inspiration for my creative side. *rambling now... sorry*
      So, please enjoy this picture of a fat unicorn as I leave you :) <3 Thank you!

Swallowed Gasoline?

     Have you or somebody you love recently swallowed or ingested gasoline? Well, not to make this sound like a stupid commercial, but I have 7 steps - that I looked up online - that could possibly help save their life, so that you can tell them that they're stupid to have ingested gasoline.

Step 1). Stand by the person while they catch their breath, make sure that you reassure them that they are not going to die,and that many people swallow small amounts of gasoline everyday and they're okay. :)

Step 2). Once the individual has calmed down, help the down a large glass of milk as to settle their stomach.

Step 3). Although they may be inclined to drink carbonated beverages instead of their nice glass of milk, refrain from letting them do so. When gasoline is in the stomach, it creates gas, and carbonated drinks will help them to burp, but in this case, that is the wrong thing to do.

Step 4). Call Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) and explain the situation to them, they will help you decipher how much gasoline was swallowed and will be able to help you do what you need to do to cure this person.

Step 5). Although the gasoline-swallower may b burping for the next several hours, and they may feel nauseous and sick, that is because of the fumes that are escaping through the esophagus. Just be there to remind them that they will be alright in the next day or so.

Step 6). Make sure that they drink plenty of water throughout the next few hours, but not all at once.

Step 7). Be sure to remind  your friend or whomever they may be to you that ingesting gasoline is dangerous, and that they should avoid it. Because at some point, I'm sure that all that gasoline will just be too much, and they'll croak... lol jk :)
