saturday was liv’s 35th birthday and to celebrate it, she had a potluck at her house. caryn was looking up recipes for what to make on the internet, and she found this cool recipe for making penguins out of stuffed olives:
liv’s party was hella fun. sharon brought this pen that shocks people when they try to click it. we got several different people to unwittingly try it out and yelp when they did. later on in the night, liv, sage, and gleb all did some fire spinning which was pretty cool. sage and gleb just used the regular poi with balls on the end, but liv used these hardcore ones that had huge sticks that completely engulfed in fire:
as the night went on, and people drank more and more, kevin started talking about his “sour skittles” experience. apparently one time he ate a whole bag of sour skittles, and then the following day, he had layers of his tongue peeling off. peeling off?? a lot of us were doubtful that that could happen. i mean, come on, sour skittles? are they even that sour? well, a few minutes later we drove down to 7-11 and 3 of us tried to take the challenge.
the first couple of handfuls were really no big deal. hardly sour. but then, as we kept eating… things got more and more sour. pretty soon each bite was becoming literally painful!:
by the time we got to, and finished off, the powder left in the bag, our tongues were hella hurting.
two days later, when i woke up this morning, my tongue felt hella weird. most of it felt like it couldn’t taste or feel anything. i looked in the mirror, and yes, the top layer of my tongue was peeling off. fuck! how can they sell this stuff to little kids?!! i dont get it!!

This is a cool entry, especially with the pics. That fire spinning looks really amazing. And your sour Skittles induced faces are hilarious.
now THAT’S what i call a partay!!! i wish i knew your friends and come to the party … i want to join the sour skittles experiences….. sigh……
That skittle story is funny, yet horrifying. I also applaud your use of the word “hella” three times. And, the stuffed penguins are hella cute.
Wonderful entry. 🙂
i try to use “hella” as much as i can. it’s a hella good word to use!

I agree with you about Sour Skittles. I couldn’t finish a bag (sober, that is) because my tongue was so sore from the first few handfuls. I wrote about my sour skittles experience two days before you did, heh.
yeah, those things are so rough!!!
