All around there are poisons.

Honestly, not only are a lot of common household plants and flowers poisonous, but some plants we eat are as well; at least part of the plants that is.   For example rhubarb leaves are poisonous and mixing them with water and soda makes them even more so; green potatoes (obviously since they belong to the nightshade family),  the leaves and stems of tomatoes, the pits of cherries and bitter almonds that aren't heat treated (though most countries have either made them illegal or made all almonds heat treated).   There are also a startling amount of plants you can find around in nearby forests and ravines that contain poison, either from the flower or stem or leaves; lets not forget all the poisons around us in the products we use, even common eye drops when ingested cause one to fall ill with the runs and terrible stomach pains. I also forgot to mention castor oil; you see castor seeds contain a deadly poison called ricin (a protein), however the castor oil is heat treated during the process and therefore causing the protein to become inactive; thank goodness for that, because castor oil is used in A LOT of products ranging from cosmetics to food packaging to medicines etc.

 Rhubarb leaves; they appear harmless, but are quite the contrary.

I kinda sound like an advertisement/fact teller, but I'm just fascinated with plants and their uses and so happened to stumble upon other forms of poison while researching (I swear to god I am not a dark evil person; maybe I should switch my career choice to botanist ;] )

On another note I am going to see Star Trek into the Darkness tonight ♥  I haven't been out in awhile so I kinda need this, although I am not looking forward to paying however much it costs for a 3D admission -_- I still need to buy my bus tickets home and register for the conference...  Ahh the harsh life of a student living an adult life (ie living on my own means).


Laxatives also seem to be loosing their effectiveness again, which really sucks, because I hate having all that disgusting, fatty, chemical foods in my body for longer than a  few hours.  And I saw a picture of my friend and she's losing weight again, and I know it shouldn't, but it makes me so much more motivated to lose weight;  I haven't weighed myself in weeks so I honestly have no clue how much I weigh, but I have been walking a lot thanks to work and going on walks on Mount Royal.

I think my title to this post is quite original and is really, truly profound (I hope my sarcasm was detected).
Tired; I'm going to go to bed after I post this and will just wake up earlier to study. My last exam is tomorrow :] also my bunny is getting picked up by the pet sitter tomorrow </3 he'll be gone for 13 days ... my baby :[ but she volunteers at a shelter specialising in small animals, has a room especially for when she sits pets and has medication just in case they get sick so she seems trustworthy enough to leave my mumus wumus with.

After my exam I am doing laundry, washing my dishes, sweeping and generally cleaning out my room while rocking out to ABBA - my current musical obsession. Then I'm watching the rest of the Incredibles (if my internet decides to work properly) teehee  ^_^ I like movies ♥

And then on tuesday I am going to go to the gym and work out (first time in like a month, but I'm such an unmotivated person -_- ) and making sure everything's packed and cleaning out my bunnies cage and probably not going to sleep at all because on wednesday morning I'm flying home ♥♥♥ Beyond excited :"} ahhhhhhhhhhhh finally going to see my family and childhood friends in like 5 months - although I enjoy being independent and going out into the world, you do tend to get a bit of a longing for your family and friends. Also my mom makes the best potatoes (like sliced up and baked in a bit of olive oil with spices, carrots, onions, garlic and apples = absolutely delicious ♥) and they're very filling so I don't need to eat a lot of it.   And I'll finally see my baby #1 - my dog ♥  I miss him soooo sooooo soooooooooo much.  My puppy, my doggie woggie, my little wittle animal soul mate.  Honestly though, we are soo alike and we'd always get mad at each other and cuddle, and just generally be awesomely lazy together ♥. Also I think I've used too many ♥'s in this post - looks overly cheesy and corny - corny cheese......I need sleep, cause here I am rambling on about things.
