Alchemy... how wonderful it- BOOM- oops. Looks like we lost another one!

But seriously, I have this fascination with mixing stuff and seeing what happens (hopefully it explodes). Of course, is that really alchemy but just reg chem? Its probably just chem, but alchemy sounds better andd more majestic than chemistry dont you think? well, whatever. But back to the subject of alchemy and potions and all that.

Now, I know very little about alchemy and all that crap. But every so often I get the urge to Run around the house and put random liquids in a little tube. Igot one such urge to do so a few days ago, looking at my sister's nail polish remover. That , of course, was the first ingredient. I added many diffrerent ingredients by the end, some someone might think of drinking (hot water, cranberry juice, melted chocolate ice cream, milk, jelly, sprinkles- i tried to melt them, but it didn't work) and some were probably toxic (the nailpolish remover, perfume, stuff to make bathroon smell good, shampoo and other variations of soap- though they might not be toxic if the mouth is the only place where you don't intend for it to be on your body- and pretty much everything else).

My result wass actually tasty looking- though not tasty smelling- it looked like strawberry sundae. Most of the ingredients did not change it. What was noticable was the cranberry juice and milk first and formost, making red and white streaks up and down the sides. On top was some soap that gave it a foamy look. On the bottom there was a smalll bit of deep red jelly and pink bubbly body soap- It made it seem as if some of the strawberry stuff sunk to the bottom and it had cute bubbles in it.

However, some things disturbed me. One, while on side was beautifully streaked with red and white the other side was all white. Too much milk. Also, one the nine-out-of-none-total-sprinkles unmelted puple sprinkle which refused to go down despite my many tries with a toothpick and a very few with my finger ( I waas a bit worried about my figner being burned off, though that fear was unreasonable).

So I come to a conclusion saying that I love alchemy in all its forms, i will mever let go of the dream of being an alchemist, and the potion soon went the drain.
