Liquid silver is so gross.

I get sick a lot. Not only the whole I get nervous and hurl thing, but literally ill because I have the immune system of a fetus. Because of this, my mother always tries preventative measures to keep me from getting sick. One phase she went through was making me take liquid silver. I had no idea that this was something you could buy for funsies. Skylar really enjoyed this- she'd be at my house and anytime I'd cough or sneeze or sniffle, my mom would get the liquid silver out. I feel like you should know that it tastes AWFUL. I'm a huge wuss, so I would throw a fit every single time. I HATE liquid silver. Luckily, its been a few years since my mom was on her silver spree.

Around the same time I was being forced to take what I consider to be dangerous amounts of the silver, Skylar saw a special on some man that drank too much of it and turned purple. After this special, Skylar found out that if you eat an insane amount of carrots, your body will turn orange. Whether this is accurate or not is debatable, but I saw an episode of House where it happened, which is absolutely good enough for me. When Skylar comes home for the summer, we plan for her to come stay with me for a week and just eat carrots. I already refuse to wear orange, so I'm definitely not going to turn my skin that color. Maybe because there was a spray-tanning incident my sophomore year of high school that perpetually scarred me. A high school professor still won't let me live it down. Long story short- my red hair mixed with orange skin is just really unflattering. Luckily, I have a friend that's down for whatever who is willing to accompany Skylar on this adventure. Don't worry, I'll document it all.

And in a topic related to the post about me being exceptionally emotional, I'm cutting this post short to go to my last Bible study of the semester, which is the last small group with my mentor and surrogate big. I'm very prepared to cry. A lot.

Please bear with me during finals; it is hectic.
