Trillian, more cruising, Grandma, sticky candy and fillings, Crash Test Dummies

I didn't know I wasn't on Trillian for much of the day till I just noticed it a while ago. Ah well, it helped with staying home.. no messages, yay! Just talked to my mom, who wants to take me on some cruise to San Diego in late September: apparently, it's to celebrate my milestone birthday. (according to my sister, I won't admit that I enjoyed the Alaskan cruise last year... whatever!) I don't know about that, but maybe if she gets the days off and the sale prices (we're Asian!)... she also wants me to move in with my sister if she gets her own house, to help her with the mortgage. Uh, I only have a limited amount of money every month, so I dunno. Not sure I'd want to give up living on my own, either... ah, independence!

Then she said she talked to my grandma earlier today, who may be coming home earlier than expected. (apparently, she wants to live downstairs in late September or whenever the eye specialist clears her for a return home here) Mom referred to Big G as "86 and a half"... I thought you stopped referring to people that way when they're around 10?

Corey and I are having a discussion about how his Screaming Yellow Zonkers / Fiddle Faddle turned out yesterday:

[20:03:25] Flami: All hail sparkly socks!: so, how did the candy-making go last night?
[21:25:22] Corey: uh, it tastes pretty good, but it's sticky as hell, it just sticks to your teeth really hard when you chew it at all :P so you can eat it if you kind of mash it up in your mouth and then spend a long time with your tongue trying to get it off your teeth :P

my mom claims that making candy isn't easy here due to the altitude
[21:27:48] Flami: right... the mile-high altitude there might have something to do with it
[21:28:10] Corey: that, or I didn't have it at the "hard ball stage" when I thought it did :P probably a little of both
[21:28:35] Corey: it tastes fine.. it'll just pull your fillings out if you eat it :P maybe it'll pull your TEETH out :P
[21:33:01] Flami: I'll take your word for it :P
[21:33:16] Flami: I have a matching filling that I don't want to get yanked out :P
[21:43:44] Corey: if you ever do, try pliers
[21:47:36] Flami: haha... this reminds me of the Crash Test Dummies song
[21:52:02] Corey: doesn't sound familiar to me

Heh, I loved this song... the video was interesting, too. I remember having a discussion about it with snooooopy years ago. :D

Title: He Liked To Feel It

There was a boy
Who liked to wiggle his tooth loose so he could show it
And then we'd watch
While he would tie it to a doorknob, wind up, and then slam it

And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out

But he grew tired
Of using doorknobs, and so he thought up a brand-new trick
He said he'd tie
His tooth to his dog's tail, find a stick, wind up, and then throw it

And that was how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He told us how he liked to feel it when it came out

He called his dog
But just as he was set to go, his dad arrived there
He yelled at him
Then got some pliers, held him, wound up, and yanked it out right there

That wasn't how he liked to have his teeth pulled out
He wouldn't tell us how it felt when it came out
