I hurt in my everywhere...

Evening all.

As my title may imply, i hurt. And it's everywhere. I have this dull ache that's taking up most of my muscles, and i'm not too sure why. I haven't done anything particularly strenuous. Prehaps i'm tired, i mean as i write this, i have been awake for **checks watch** 14 hours now. And sleep will be soon-coming and sweet.

So, in other news from the world of me, They have started playing christmas songs at work now. They tried to be sneaky about it, only playing one every 4 or so songs, but dammit i have nothing more interesting to do at work than think, and they interrupt that, so i notice. Theres a few things i find annoying about this though, apart from the songs themselves.

Firstly, Most people didnt care when i ran around telling everyone that they were playing the songs, they had accepted it. People, we still have like 2 months of this. You will know all the words by christmas eve.

B, They're not even playing good christmas songs, such as Rocking robbin, and I wish it could be christmas. They have left out all those classic (and frankly, bearable) songs in favour of Destinys child.

which brings me to my next point, The manner in which said songs are sung. Speaking is'nt singing. We know this from everyday life. But aparantly, talking a lot, and having someone go "ooooooooh" harmoniously over the back of the song is a basis for a record. Rapping is not singing. Not even if you're destiny's child. (who actually mention the ghetto (no, not grotto) in their song)

Also, since when did it become a good idea to "Re-mix" a song? It seems like they're just getting lazy now. I heard one such "Re-mix" that just said "Frosty the snowman" over and over, for about 2 min. That counts as a song?! and then there is the other one i heard, which played the rudolf the red nosed reindeer tune only. And then for some reason someone suddenly says "Hallie berry" near the end. One can assume it is hallie herself, but is this really something to be proud of?

"Look at me world! Not only did i manage to take out all of that annoying singing about a reindeer with an inflamed schnozz, but i also managed to put my name in! How cool am i!?"

Gahh,

ah well, rant over, for now.

I'm sure you'll get more festiveness as the weeks wear on. (but please know, i am a festive bastard, i just have the repeating christmas songs)

Anyhoo, tonight i'm going to leave you with a thinker. I asked my chem teacher this in year ten and nearly got detention for being a smart-ass.

When you freeze water, the water molicules get closer together, more tightly packed. Thats why water goes solid.

So why does water expand when it's frozen?

lol, keep it safe guys

chem 2 ap was quite nearly the death of me junior year but i'm so all over this! it's hydrogen bonding between water molecules that makes a latice structure when water freezes that is actually less dense than when it's liquid. hense...ice floats in water. it's pretty cool.

OK, so thats why it floats.... but why does it expand? The latice structure?

Confused....

its because air gets between the water molecules. which again is why the density increases. simple.

...density DECREASES

The density does increase till 4 deg C (ie all the molecules get closer together as they lose energy and the ability to overcome the intermolecular attractive forces). However, up to (or down to, I suppose) 4 degC the thermal energy present is still sufficient to break any hydrogen bonds that form. Below 4 deg C the bonds stay fixed, and as all the water molecules start getting stuck together the bonds essentially push the molecules apart into the lattice structure and so it expands. The open structure also accounts for the lower density.

Also, Xmas songs suck. They should have halloween songs too. The Monster Mash. On Repeat. And on Xmas, too. And all throught the summer for ever and ever and ever.

And someone should rap about the grotto...
