Blow Pops

     I did something a little unusual today; I ate a Blow Pop.  Ya' know, the lollipops with the bubble gum inside? Yep, I ate a big cherry flavored Blow Pop today.

      *Yawn*

       I know, "Who cares?" Right?  Well, I thought it would be a good way to start off my summer of reinvention.

     "You're not making any sense, Courtlyn."

     Well, here's the thing: I'm a very insecure, self-conscious person.  That's a BIG thing that I'm going to be working on this summer. So, first of all, I've always had problems doing anything I deemed "childish," even things that I think are very positive and potentially enjoyable. Suckers of all sorts have always fallen into this category. Secondly, as we all know, Blow Pops (and other suckers) have a tendency to turn one's mouth a very vibrant, unnatural color. This, to me, was always entirely unacceptable, even if no one would see because I wasn't going anywhere on a particular day.  Even if no one else would see it, I still felt embarrassed or somehow inferior or something of the sort if my mouth were an odd color.
     But, now, my entire mouth is a very vibrant shade of pinky-red and the best part is that I'm okay with that.  And, I'm not gonna lie, I almost liked the sucker :P
     So, that's my day in a nutshell.

     Hey, that's your loss, Imaginary Audience.
     I'll try not to post anymore today, as this will be my third post. But no promises. XP

P.S. I'm experimenting with various new layouts and will soon choose one. Be patient until then and feel free to offer feedback :)
