Look, I know I'm the family disappointment, okay? I'm the only one in the house who gets Bs, I'm the only one in the house who's more than a few hundred dollars in debt, I have a year to go in community fucking college when I should have graduated with a four-year degree this time last year, I know, all right? There's no need to rub it in. Really.

My first serious attempt at soapmaking...looks like a crappy first attempt. I got one sellable soap out of it, and it's not all that sellable. I made four soaps. Bah. BAH I SAY.

In related news, I am never using cut-open soda cans as soap molds EVER AGAIN. As container candles they've got promise, though, if I can find a way to deal with the sharp edges on top.

Speaking of candles, my thermometer is not here yet, but I am itching to try out my candle-making kit, which would require borrowing Mom's candy thermometer. How bad an idea is this?
