Random thoughts for the day

--The scent of Southern magnolias is forever burned in my mind as a sign of summer in North Carolina.
--When I was young, I had the hardest time saying "synthesizer". Now, I can say "synthesizer", but I can't for the life of me say the word "statistically" without getting hopelessly tongue-tied. This is highly problematic when you're talking research and trying to sound intelligent.
--I'd really love to have another silk patchwork skirt like the one I got at Animazement. I wonder if I could make one. Although that would require a pattern and silk scraps. I wonder where I could find some.
--The cucumbers have floooooowers. <3 This would make me more excited, though, if we had some female flowers. Cucumbers aren't bisexual, so you need to have both male and female flowers present to get cucumbers. And female flowers are shy.
--The nasturtiums have flowers too. I'm tempted to go outside and nibble on one all rabbit-like, seeing as they're edible and all, and I'd like to find out what they taste like.
--I also need to do some more soap practice. I'd like to experiment with strawberry and lime together. Maybe I'll give that a try tonight in between working on thesis stuff. I also need to find an outlet for my soap, since I'm producing a fair bit in my practicing. Anyone want some soap experiments? XD;

i would like soap experiments AND pictures of your flowers. i know that gourd flowers are amazing!! <3 that yellow-orange colour!
tell me what the nasturtiums taste like.
say "clasps" b/c that's just fun to say...
i have problems when the "s" and "th" sounds are too close together. i can say synthesizer and statistically, but there are some other words (which i cannot remember at the moment) that i'm terrible at! hahaha!
suggestion for silk skirt - check out one of those second-hand stores (here we have "value village", "goodwill" and "the salvation army) and pick up a pile of old silk shirts. ones with lots of patterns, that look SO ugly as a shirt, would look great as a patch! make a pattern from tissue paper and the skirt you bought. then take pictures and show me how it turns out! ^___^
