watch asuka do stupid shit~

So today is the eight of december, and for most of France it doesn't mean a thing, but for lyon, where I live, it's a bit special. Like I told [livejournal.com profile] joisbishmyoga, "blahblah Virgin Mary blahblah Lyon saved from black plague blahblah candles". Or something.

So to celebrate, we put cute little candles in glasses on the windows in the evening.

If you can already guess where this is going, here's a cookie.



Asuka: BRB CANDLES YAY
Asuka: whee back
Saro Lynne: ^_^
Asuka: WITH CANDLES
Saro Lynne: Hee. XD
Saro Lynne: Yay?
Asuka: ^o^
Saro Lynne: Writing, or can I try to reply?
Asuka: no, not writing, was too busy with candles

(...)

*Asuka puts candles on the windowsill*

*Asuka ... sneakily keeps one on her desk because it's teh pretty*

(...)

*Asuka is Tempted*

Asuka: *puts bits of paper in her candle pot*
Saro : XD
Asuka: potted candle?
Asuka: whatever. neat -- it doesn't burn out
Saro : I know what you're talking about.
Asuka: i mean it blackened and everything and i thought that would be the end of it, but apparently now it's turned wet with the melted wax and it keeps burning
Asuka: *fascinated*
Saro : XD
Asuka: but i added too much paper, now the flame almost gets out of the glass
Asuka: WHOA no almost about it
Asuka: did i mention it's on my very cluttered desk, between my mouse and keyboard and my screen?
Asuka: yeah, bad idea
Saro : Sounds like.
Asuka: but um the glass is too hot to pick it up
Saro : Find something to hold it with?
Asuka: it's pretty ;_;
Asuka: oh fuck, the flame's getting bigger
Asuka: when is it gonna burn out?
Asuka: it's crackling now
Saro : O.o You must have put in too much paper.
Asuka: ;___;
Asuka: i didn't add any
Asuka: well not any more since
Asuka: it's about twice as tall as the glass now
Asuka: and more reddish
Asuka: x_x
Saro : O.o
Asuka: i'm looking for something that wouldnt burn that i can put over the glass so the candle dies from lack of air
Asuka: but.
Asuka: it needs to be metal or something, because otherwise i'll only burn it all
Saro : Yeah, that would work.
Asuka: gah

*Asuka tries to pick up the glass and put it on the windowsill, holding it with about five layers of cloth* *Asuka burns herself anyway*

Flame: yay!! *dances*

*Asuka runs around to find something metally and smother the flame*

Flame: *DIES IN LIKE NOT EVEN ONE SECOND. LAME.*

*Asuka lifts the edge of the metal thing*

Asuka: OMG SMOKE. *koffkoffkoff*

*Asuka opens the window and then runs to the kitchen to run water over poor burned fingers*

Mom: ... is something burning?

Asuka: ... um. DONTSEEWHATYOURETALKINGABOUTBYE.

So now my room is freezing cold, I can't feel my fingers anymore and my eyes itch because of the smoke.

... but damn, it was fun, in a "so fucking stupid" way. XD

9.9 and this is STILL all better than a video i saw of some guys filling a melon with flammable liquid, lighting it, and then whacking it with a golf club.

A friend of mine DID that, only with a hollowed out pumpkin, gasoline and a baseball bat. It exploded all over him - second and third degree burns on two thirds of his body. Twenty minute drive from city limits, another twenty minutes to the hospital. Smart boy he is. Smart and horribly scared.
