Life On The Rocks

A couple of months ago, I came across this website where Zoundry Raven was listed as one of the best alternative ways to publish your Blogger posts. I downloaded it and never used it until now. It has a similar interface as that of Outlook Express. It's kinda cool because sometimes, I simply can't stomach the ugliness of Blogger's dashboard. And besides Zoundry Raven is just a click away. You can check it out here, if you're remotely interested. :D

Anyway, let's move on to the purpose of this blog. Everybody knows how hot the Caribbean is right? Even during the winter season, it's bloody hot. Not to mention humid. But I guess it's better than snow and sleet huh? For me it damn is. Any time I flat-iron my hair it goes back into curly mode.

So yeah, I gave up on flat-ironing my hair. I'll have it straightened on special occasions only. December proved to be another humid month where the rain didn't help much. It rather accentuated the clamminess.

And then was born my new addiction.

I.C.E!!

Well yes, I had ice before. In my drinks. But I never bothered eating it! Which is the current situation. Any drink I order or mix at home, I need ice. A few sips after, I'd painstakingly fish ice cubes from my glass and eat it. I get a rush when my teeth grind ice. The crunching noise makes it more pleasurable. I believe that's what drug addicts go through? The adrenaline that follows...makes it all so tempting and now I can't stop. The thought of having ice traversing my throat is enough to have my weird hormones charged with unadulterated excitement!

And the icing on the cake is that hubby has his own Ice Machine!! My freezer is ram-packed with ice bags. I'll never run out of ice! How lucky I am...pfftt...

But at least, I managed to get a temporary reprieve from sniffing disinfectants and bleach bottles.

Until I find another injurious - for surely it is - habit, I'll keep on sucking on ice cubes...
