I LOVE rocks.


I still have a collection of rocks I've had since I was a kid.

Whenever I found an interesting looking one, I'd bring it home and stick it in my marble bag. I liked oddly shaped ones, ones with unusual colours and ones that were extremely smooth.

It sounds strange but I used to think about the fact that whenever one cracked in two, I was the first person to see inside of it since it was created. Is that weird?

I would like to go to this cave someday:

Cave of Crystals, Naica Mine Mexico.

I know I'd probably slip and impale myself :lol:

Its meds to help with fallout from nuclear weapons, I wanted it for a while and I just brought it. I think I am becoming a survival nut, I have enough rations to survive at least five years up in my apartment. Now I just need a few pounds of marijuana and my life will be complete in the event that the world ends. Too bad the latter would never happen with that being illegal since I am scared to even have a joint on me.

Lets see, I have rations, gas mask, potassium iodide, water filters, and matches. What am I missing to be a full on nut job with a tin foil hat?

The ones I see on TV usually have an arsenal of firearms, but I wouldn't go overboard if I were you.

Yes, but what a way to go.
It's gorgeous.

I hear "beach balls" way more than "beautiful people." It'd be funny if that's what they where singing about.

When the band first appeared on TV, they actually had beach balls on the stage.
Just to make it more confusing.
But there's definitely no beach balls in the lyrics :P


That is confusing. They had to know! It's too much of a coincidence!

The most infamous lyric confusion (in my region, anyways):
Blue, by Eiffel 65
Everyone thought they were singing "I'm in need of a guy"

We should form a rock group.


When I was a kid, I was always bringing rocks home. I collected ones if they had unusual colours, unusual shapes, if they were extremely smooth etc.

Whenever I see inside of one that cracks open, I think about the fact that my eyes are the only ones that have seen it since it was formed millions of years ago.

I still have my rock collection in my marble bag and I'll still collect the occasional one if it looks interesting.

No, that's not weird.
I feel the same.
I'm very interested in the effects of weathering on rock.
I have some wonderful photographs but I can't seem to post images atm :x

Yeah those caves are really cool, but also REALLY hot. They're wearing cold suits and I think someone can only stay in the caves for maybe an hour before they overheat.

Oh, it did post. Waterfox crashed and I didn't think it posted. I guess, since I typed it out again, it doesn't really count as a double post.

How is the heat produced?

I can't legally own a firearm cause I have been involuntary admitted in a hospital, not because I am crazy but because I faked it for years when homeless to spend as little time on the street as possible. I purposely got incarcerated, hospitalized and went to rehab as much as possible. Plus they have involuntary admitted me for drug overdoses but those won't suicide attempts as much as just really really bad trips. Contrary to popular belief I don't hear voices and have only been legitimately suicidal a few times and all those times have been on more than five substances.

However involuntary admittance aside do you really want a severe drug addict to own firearms? Its probably best I legally can't though I can't think of any harm that would come from me owning one provided I stay off hard drugs. I do have knives, crossbows and the strongest legal pepper spray you can own that can actually kill you if your not careful.

Usually, caves are cool, even in hot climates.

Bloody ants. Now they're in my keyboard. I'm not spraying anymore. It's useless against ants.

I might have to get some antrid.

Well damn, I didn't consider that. I'll have to settle for some of the other neat caves, I overheat quicker than a tiny muffin in the microwave.

Use pennyroyal, I don't know what they call it where you at as pennyroyal seems to have different meanings depending on what part of the world you are in. You want an herb called Mentha pulegium, it works great against ants.
