Stories of the sink.

Okay, first off, screw the photos I promised in my previous post. Secondly, screw the explanation for why I haven't been posting. Like you'd care. Thirdly, I've decided to stop posting about anything that involves emotions and my life at home/school. So no more emo shizzle or discussing grades here. I want to be a fun blogger and keep it a hobby, rather that make it an outlet for emotions. I should have enough friends to talk to about that kinda stuff. Or at least I'd like to believe so.

On to the magical part of my post.

The sink in my room hasn't been working perfectly the last couply of weeks, so my mom said it had to be unclogged. Living in the DIY-family that I live in, I figured I was probably the one that would have to do the dirty job. It was going to be my top priority for the day. Little did I know it was going to be such an adventure.
It all started with me looking for the plunger. That took a while, and once I'd found it, it was covered in spiderwebs. Ew. I started plunging my sink. The only thing that came up was a putrid smell - probably from the sewerage. After opening a window, I started my quest for a better solution.
I soon remembered my mom telling me about a bottle we had, containing unclogging-stuff. I found it in the basement and, surprisingly, it was not covered in spiderwebs. Reading the instructions and danger warnings put me off a little. I was instructed to wear gloves and eye protection as the substance causes strong burning sensations. The bottle also said I had to watch out for splashes. "Hmmm. Splashes of burning stuff - I needed some proper preparation."
Anyhow, after a good ten minutes I was prepared. I had boiled water, a tablespoon, gloves and eye protection. Well... sunglasses. Couldn't find anything better. Fearing I'd end up with damaged hair (or worse - no hair) I'd tied it back into a ponytail. I had also placed everything lying around the sink somewhere else, fearing I'd get the burning stuff on my precious belongings.
Terrified of what consequences this bottle would bring me, I started the procedure. First two tablespoons of the substance, then pour in hot water. Finish by running cold water down the drain.
I'll tell you, I was madly disappointed. All that happened when I added the hot water, was hearing that it was bubbling a little down there. It actually kinda sounded like a fart. I laughed, but I was not amazed. I expected big fireworks, splashing hot water and holes in my shirt as a result of my carelessness.

Despite the great disappointment, it was fun getting ready. I looked like a right idiot wearing my white-rimmed sunglasses, overly big shirt and the dentist-type gloves I found. The ponytail really finished my look.

I repeated the whole process again, in the hopes that something magical would happen, but my sink disappointed me again. :[

Looking on the bright side though... my sink is unclogged!
