When I'm in a hurry and in need of quick energy, my go-to source is a Snickers bar...
It's got sugar, more sugar, some peanuts and chocolate. What more could I possible need?
I've been running on chocolate for days. I read that people who eat chocolate are thinner than most so I won't feel guilty about this. It brightens my day during rainy days.
:D

The weird world of dreams
So I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose a few nights back because I lost in a challenge, a challenge which was MY idea in the first place. The consequence my boyfriend >:< gave me was to watch a horror movie of the winner's choice. The thing about that movie is that it isn't really scary while watching it. I mean there was hardly any blood, gore and violence. But it was certainly eerie. The thought of unseen entities, demons in this case, latches on to one's imagination long after the movie is done.
I was so intrigued that I kept reading about the phenomena of possession. Causes are varied. Dabbling in the occult is pretty believable. But among the silliest I've read are playing Dungeons and Dragons and listening to rock music. O_O It still escapes me how people come up with these things. A cause incites a direct effect. Someone tell me how one's preference to certain music or games will cause them to be susceptible to the spirits? Well, maybe I'll understand if the music or songs are some outright worship of evil, but come on. A little skepticism would go a long way.
I couldn't sleep for a few days because I kept waking up in the middle of the night at around 2am. I'd panick because I didn't want to be awake by 3am or else I'd imagine all sorts of monsters lurking in the dark.
I expected to get nightmares. However, I got only a weird dream last night. I seemed to be in a mall. There were security guards rummaging through my stuff. I had no idea what they wanted from me. After a few moments, they pulled out a stick of Rexona.... O_O end of dream.
Because I found this dream so weird, I decided to look it up online. The official interpretation of the dream is:
LOL

DeodorantWell well well... good things can come from weird boxes after all.
If you dream of applying deodorant, this may signify that you are able to avoid or overcome obstacles due to your strong character.
