The most random thread ever!!!

Of course it is. That is far too much to ask.

I had to take the long way round to get the short answer: Yes, you can make wax from sea lion blubber.
You can also make soap from it.
And eat it.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Well, yeah. Have you read Shackleton? They lived off that stuff

[The Skarzs]

Makes sense. (Though it's hard enough to eat pig fat. . . We have friends up in Alaska who have tried it and said it's pretty gross.)

[Eulaliaaa!]

Hmm, bacon has a lot of fat, though, right? I mean, half the strip is fat.

And I don't know if I could eat blubber even if I was starving to death. The texture is just too much for me and my sensory problems.

[LT Sandpaw]

You just have to burn it so it isn't so rubbery.

[The Skarzs]

Some sea lions have blubber up to six or seven inches thick.

gey

I THOUGHT I WAS OVER MY CRUSH ON THIS GUY BUT THEN WE AND ANOTHER FRIEND SLEPT IN THE SAME BED AND I WANTED HER TO SWITCH PLACES WITH ME SO I COULD BE NEXT TO HIM (then I wanted her to switch places with me because they kept pulling the duvet away from me) AND SHE DID AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THIS BUT NO FUNNY BUSINESS WENT DOWN OKAY? I RESPECT PEOPLE'S BOUNDARIES AND THE BASIC IDEA OF CONSENT, OKAY? OKAY.

ALSO WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING WEIRD, THIS WAS A TOTALLY INNOCENT, PLATONIC THREE-FRIENDS-SLEEPING-IN-THE-ONLY-BED SITUATION. (Actually, technically there were two beds, but our other friend hogged one of them by himself.)

EDIT: I should also mention that he knew about my crush and didn't believe I'd gotten over it, so we all knew exactly where we stood.

AND WHY IS IT THAT I ONLY EVER BEMOAN MY LACK OF A BOYFRIEND WHEN I'M AROUND DRUNK PEOPLE (AND FROM NOW ON I'M CHANGING MY OFFICIAL LABEL FROM BISEXUAL TO HOMOFLEXIBLE BECAUSE I ALWAYS THINK BOYFRIEND AND NEVER GIRLFRIEND BUT GIRLS ARE STILL CUTE THIS IS A TANGENT). My friends' theory was that it was because drunk people are more affectionate so you're more consciously aware of what you're missing.

Does anyone else get, like, secondhand drunkness? 'Cause I don't drink (usually) but whenever I'm around my friends and they're drunk I find myself acting a little crazier and more melancholic. Anyone else get that?

This is basically just my thoughts about when I disappeared two days ago. I went to a party at a friend's which was technically meant to be my eighteenth but it was ages after my birthday 'cause I was ill on the original day we had planned.
