August 21, 2007: "melons"
i had a tad too much watermelon tonight, the idea surely reiterated with my frequent odysseys to the restroom. you would think i'd stop when nature called for a third time in twenty minutes (i'm ashamed, my bladder used to to have quite the brawns, but even bladder strength wears with age), but no. body thought it would be better trekking. okay, so admittedly, in reality, the bathroom isn't all that far away, but IT'S STILL A HASSLE. so, as i continued to appropriately devour the melons, this question also transpired: what's up with all the seeds? seriously, what is the deal here? we can blow the world up with a touch of a button and have yet to facilitate my eating endeavors by eliminating all seedful watermelon?
this world is effed up, man.
and i'm aware seedless watermelon do exist, but let's face it. they're not quite as sugary or saturated (which, i confess, can be a good thing, as seen tonight by my recurrent excursions to the potty), and i'm not willing to settle. i'm calling all scientists to halt all this saving the world mumbo jumbo, and i demand of them to make good seedless watermelon.
now. happy tuesday.

I really like the taste of watermelons (the really sweet ones, not the juicy ones that taste like water - else I could just drink LOTS of water) but I *hate* the seeds. So every time my parents buy a watermelon, I tell them I don't want it just because of the seeds. I agree with you, they should start making a really good seedless watermelon. :D (btw, thanks for your GREAT comment on my website, it has really made me think and helped a lot!).

I never realized that seedless watermelons taste different, haha. I just know that they taste great when it's cold =9, nothing beats a cold watermelon in the summer.

Really? I wasn't aware that seedless watermelons aren't as good as their non-genetically-modified counterparts... ^^; I know seedless grapes tastes a lil' different than regular grapes though, but I don't mind. (Grape seeds are much more annoying.)
Happy Thursday, now. x)

YES, seedy watermelons are the best by far! and it's so worth going to the bathroom that much.
in a positive way, at least you're now hydrated. :)

LOL, yes it was featured in Seventeen. I like it too but I think I'll have to re-read it in a few years. Either that or get off my addiction of typical teeny-bopper fiction.
Man, your blog is so interesting to read. I always buy seedless watermelon but you're right, it's not the same lol.

Haha Yes, sometimes I feel like a kid because something is too entertaining to miss out on for a minute to go to the bathroom. And that's something I thought about, too.We can let people across the world chat instantly by why can't we have such practical, fun things like real seedless watermelons? Crazy scientists and their priorities. but then again, watermelons don't keep you from feeling lonely. xD
Thanks for your comment (again!) XD Yeah, you're a new commentor, so welcome! Haha and many times uneventful happenings are why I don't blog, too. Too bad, eh? lol my friend says "Baby Jesus" is cuter than "Adult Jesus", and it made me laugh. I mostly felt guilty about my car...but now it's fixed, so I feel a lot better. And thanks for the advice! (More detailed post to come!) haha No problem for the extra plug! There are some sites I just like right away (like kuuchuu.net, I've been visiting it all the time since I found it!). I hope I have time to delve further into IKEA. And possibly DDR.

comments plz!!
...
it really needed to be said again.
Also, on this watermelon thing. Is that what you were talking about last night? Haha, and I thought it was RANDOM! But no. Here is an entire entry on those godforsaken seedless watermelons.
I'll figure it out for you. Actually, I see the future and it says juicy seedless watermelons are in sight. And seedless apples. And cherries.

My mom has been buying a lot of watermelons too. The seedless kinds and my dad covers them with salt for flavor or whatever. 3 times in the bathroom? Sometimes you got to learn when to stop.

Oh, I hate the seeds in watermelons too. I'm quite picky with food, so sometimes I can dig the seeds out with a fork before I can eat the watermelon. It is sad, I know. :D
[Thao] Wednesday, August 22nd
!!! Doesn't it suck really bad when the food you love causes a hateful reaction in your body? The only part of you that gets to fully enjoy the food is your mouth. Tragic.
[Nayana] Wednesday, August 22nd
LOL Yeah well I like the sweetness, and I guess the seeds aren't a too much of a hassle, but it all depends on the way you look at it LOL
Haha yeah I know I hate going to the bathroom, ESPECIALLY when you are all set and ready and then you're like NO I have to GO ! Darn mothernature I tell you!

To be honest.. The reason I tagged a minimal amount of people was definately so I didn't have to be tagged in return. : It's dumb, really.
WATERMELON. It's funny, I work at Farm Boy.. And all we have for watermelon is seedless ones.. Just as juicy and sugary as regular ones. Amazing. I eat them every day, I try, anyway.
[cynthia] Wednesday, August 22nd
Silly. :p
I hate how the seedless just aren't the same, too... but with the seeds, I've just given up. I just chew them and enjoy them with the watermelon, hahaha.
[Alex] Wednesday, August 22nd
Mmm, watermelon. My parents just bought a large watermelon so they're eating it right now. I don't really enjoy the taste of watermelon, but it's refreshing in the summer. I remember when my mom used to tell me that if I swallowed a black watermelon seed, I would have a watermelon growing in my stomach. :(

Hehehe, watermelons. Did you know I am allergic to it? Yeah..my family and friends say that I'm just delusional, but how can you be when after you eat a few bites, your ears feel a burning and itching sensation and your tongue seems to numb out on you? And no matter how hard you scratch it, it gets worse and worse.
I sometimes wish I wasn't allergic to watermelons. They're great in the summers. I'm sure there are seedless watermelons because my family are enjoying them as I watch them eating this sweet fruit that is dripping endlessly out of their mouth. Ugh, I envy that they can eat it freely.
