"I Got You" - Leona Lewis

Three years ago I was a little freshmen. Of course by this time I was already pro because I went summer semester so while everyone else was struggling through midterms I knew what to do. This really has nothing to do with the story I'm about to share. It was also around the time that I met Diane. I won't share that story because only the few and privileged are allowed to hear it. For personal reasons. Well after we became friends and I had acquired a candle and candle warmer, Diane thought it would be cool to start dipping things in the wax.
Exhibit A 
yes I still have that pen...I have no idea why. Also she got really excited and tried to create her own candle, I thought I could find it to take a picture but I have no idea where it's at.
I was not a fan of this. Especially when wax got INSIDE of my favorite pencil. Then I was really not a fan.

So for the last THREE years I have had to deal with the fact that I couldn't put lead into my pencil. And then today I was determined, because I lost my other favorite pencil, such a tragedy, that I would remove the wax and give my pencil life again!

I started looking for something that I could stick into my pencil without getting stuck because there was already lead stuck in the wax. I thought tweezers would work but alas. Then I had a brilliant remembrance that I had a needle and thread!! So I sat there and very carefully was able to remove the wax around the lead while still keeping it in one piece. I removed the wax chunks at a time until it was all out. Then I went in with tissue and cleaned the inside. And the good news is my pencil is in recovery and should be back to normal today.

Man maybe I should become a surgeon! haha so not happening.

On another happy note, I am totally rocking the fishtail today which I did myself!


Also this is my 200th post!
