Which comes first?


Ok I have two questions about Easter eggs.

Firstly does it annoy anyone else that when you have a new Easter egg the foil completely covers the egg, yet when you have eaten half it seems impossible to fully wrap the egg... Surely there is enough foil because you haven't increased the area you are trying to wrap.

Secondly, if you put an Easter egg in a microwave (foil not included) would it pop first due to the air expanding inside or would the chocolate melt. Obviously I am assuming that in this perfect world the egg is solid with no gaps. There is a twist though, would it make a difference depending on the thickness of chocolate? On the one hand it would be stronger so therefore not as likely to pop but on the other the chocolate may take longer to melt through. I am hoping my dad may be able to answer this, or perhaps some other eggthusiast. ho ho ho.

Happy Easter anyway, sorry I am a bit late.

"Still a little bit of your words I long to hear"

I was reminded earlier that I haven't updated this blog for a while, well the truth is I can't, I can't update it because for the first time I can't write what I want to write because I don't want it to be read, in other words I guess this particular blog will be without any particular reason. Although I seem to find a reason and meaning for some of my most vacuous blogs. So here goes nothing.

I don't like how I cant be open today. However, I think blogging (for me) will always be more open than a diary, I tried that once and found myself always writing to myself as an audience or worse writing it in the hope someone in a distant time would find it and be impressed, whereas in reality every so often I come across it and realise I cant read whatever I wrote (im not sure pink was the best choice looking back, although alternating it with purple makes for a rather exciting contrast masking the rather dull interior of my sentiments at the time) (hey maybe I need to put a colour on this one to make it exciting)

In a way the public audience that this blog could potentially receive keeps me from being too sentimental and getting lost inside my own head.
I think it would be interesting to read a child's blog, adults stop themselves from being open, I don't like that, I don't like the way we mask our feelings, I don't like the way I don't always know my own feelings.

Completely separate point: I want to plot a graph of time against tastiness for chewing gum, it marks me that the first few minutes are brilliant but there is definitely a point where the amount of saliva you have used seems to outweigh the mint of the chewing gum resulting in a rather strange taste, rather like chewing an old hat may taste, the thing is I always reach the point without realising, im reluctant to throw the chewing gum away before I have got my value for money out of it and therefore face the problem of previously mentioned "old hat" syndrome.
hmm...

Chewing gum wasn't what I was reluctant to talk about, although I am glad I got that off my chest :)
