deciding on cheap headphones
This evening, among other things, I was discussing with Nicholas the importance of taking care of expensive items. Rather, he was discussing that with me and I was buffering his opinion with my own experiences along the line. Some people would call that a conversational “sucking up” but it is not; since I had no opposition to maintain, I had no reason to disagree with his points, thus, I consented with personal experience. There, I have officially sucked the life out of this entire blog. Forever.
Anyways, we were talking about taking care of stuff. And I do. So, I have reached a great mystery in this Spring Semester 2006!.
Upon returning from Bollo’s tonight, I discovered my chapstick was missing from my desk. After several thorough searches, considerations about where/when/how I last used it, and contact with local Chapstick Watch authorities, I can confirm that my chapstick was stolen. I even checked INSIDE of that savage Eclipse Mints metallic case that I was previously enamored with, prior to it having attempted my untimely murder.
Due to my lavish reserve of personal justifications, I free myself from any blame regarding negligence towards the chapstick and hope the offenders find swift justice.

This is precisely the reason why I own several chapsticks, each strategically placed throughout my room. When a chapstick thief purloins one such item, I still possess a handful of perfectly viable alternate chapsticks with which I can pamper my lips. For your sake, I too hope the offenders encounter prompt retribution. And Miles Davis makes my mind, body, and soul dance simultaneously.

This is the reason no one ever seems to get to the end of a tube of Chapstick- the little bastards have a nasty habit of going AWOL. I sympathize with your loss.

I’ve never really understood this phenomena. I had mine disappear many a time as well.
I don’t see the real difference between a chapstick and a personal product such as a toothbrush.
The thought that someone had no issues using a product that had direct contact with my lips is both flattering and creepy at the same time.

Found it!
It would seem ye gods were making a fool of me. The stick of chap was discovered this afternoon hidden in some crevice under my desk after it apparently had taken a late-evening stroll yesterday. How it escaped the drawer of my desk… we may never know. I certainly didn’t let the chap out.
