magnets.

about every month my grandparents who live in florida send my little brother and me a box of "goodies." sometimes it's money and sometimes it's just useless stuff. a couple months ago, my grandma sent me a Magnetic Hematite Lariat Wrap. it's basically a string of magnet beads that can be formed into like a necklace or a bracelet or whatever. each bead is

magnetically charged hematite.

this past weekend was my friend kelsey's 17th birthday party at the top of hawaii loa ridge. i thought it was cool that we happened to both be wearing orange. mrs. sin and mr. kang mix us up even when we're not wearing the same color. we look nothing alike. and mr. monaco thought i was this girl erica butters in eighth grade. just because we're white doesn't mean we all look the same.

anyway at her party (since it was very hilly up there) she brought up card board boxes for people to slide down on. (she also brought lots of redbull). so at first there was too much friction between the grass and the card board boxes so we sprayed the hill with water to reduce the friction. it then got really slippery and we were able to slide down! she also hired a masseuse and we all got massages! haha.
