C is for CANDY

Well since it's after Halloween and all, I figured C should stand for candy. Candy is good, candy is great. Candy is what we appreciate. There is something addictive about candy. For those people who don't eat a whole lot of candy, they don't like it at first. But if they keep eating it, they'll get used to it and begin to enjoy it more and more. So if you think about it, candy is like an acquired taste. Which makes it sounds formal and fancy, like olives (which are nice treats too).

Chocolate, a type of candy, is especially good. There is something soothing about a real good melt-in-your-mouth, creamy, delicious piece of chocolate. And, as studies have shown (I actually wrote an essay on this) chocolate is good for you. Well actually it's really dark chocolate that's the best for you but hey, chocolate's chocolate right? And don't even get me started on chocolate fondue. That stuff is amazing. On strawberries, pinapple, pears, bananas, pretty much anything. Oh yum.

Speaking of bananas, that should be the theme for this fall. You know one of those things that just keeps popping up everywhere? Well bananas are everywhere this fall. It all started one day when there must've been a sale on bananas because I came home and there were lots. A week later, because we weren't eating them fast enough I guess, it was made into banana bread. Then, in history class of all places, what do we talk about one day but - that's right you guess it - bananas! About how those brown specks in the middle of them are actually what's left of their seeds. Scientists are very worried because bananas are so genetically modified that they are basically all the same and so if a disease comes in it would spread to all the banana trees and since they have no seeds you can't plant banana trees, which takes 25 years after the tree matures for it to grow bananas anyway. And then I went to the Junior Achievement meeting (which was.. interesting) and what idea does one person keep referring to but bananas! Banana chips, banana belts, banana everything! And you think that's amazing but the other night I was out and what do I get called but a banana because my skin is yellow! Oh my that sounded racist but I assure you it's not, it was just my friends and we joke about our colour all the time, because it's PEI and we're like as multicultural as you can get lol. But anyways, bananas are everywhere and now I'm craving candy, chocolate, bananas, and just food in general.

But it's late and I have church in the morning so I will let myself get some sleep.. considering I have to wake up extra early because of laundry (I am such a rebel, doing laundry on the wrong day... shh!)
