My room is consistently messy. You might think that it's because I'm lazy or sloppy, but that's not true! It's all because of entropy. He always ends up in my room.
Of course, you might be thinking, You could just kick him out! And I say, that's easier said than done. I'm just too nice! I can't say no when entropy turns up, in rags, shivering, with those eyes. Even a picture can't capture the cuteness and helplessness of those eyes...

First I restrict him to the closet. But slowly, I allow him into other parts of my room. The problem with entropy is that he lives on chaos. He makes a place messy just by being in it. So, as he spreads out throughout the room, the mess comes with him.
Now, entropy isn't a bad guy. His circumstances just haven't been very kind to him. He was born messy. His twin brother, enthalpy, was born hot, literally! (Enthalpy is the measure of heat in a reaction.)

Everyone loved enthalpy. Poor entropy was always neglected. He was way too messy, so no one liked him. He used to have one good friend, Delltah Jee. But Delltah's mother didn't approve.

Entropy's mother kept on trying to "refine" entropy, but entropy was...well, entropy, and entropy=disorganization! When entropy reached the delicate age of 10, he got a lovely birthday present: a one-way ticket to OUT OF THIS HOUSE. So he was left on the streets, begging for money.

Along the way, he met the K girls: Cassandra "Cassie" K (Kc), Anita K (Ka), Belinda K (Kb), and Stephanie K (Ksp). Cassie was all right (she's Kc, a regular equilibrium constant), but Anita tended to be sour (she's Ka, an equilibrium constant for acids, which are sour), Belinda tended to be bitter (she's Kb, an equilibrium constant for bases), and Stephanie was quite the braggart -- she especially liked bragging about her (nonexistant) specialness (Stephanie is Ksp, which my chem teacher would call "special K," although the "sp" stood for "solubility product", so Ksp *gasp* actually wasn't that special).

Even though the universe here LOVES entropy, not many mothers do. So, poor entropy is always chased out of children's and teenagers' rooms. My room is no exception.

LOL Sana, this post is epic. :D
ReplyDeleteThat sound exactly like my room, thanks for explaining what's happening! It's just that annoying yet adorable entropy sneaking in to my room over and over, and of course I'm too nice to throw him out.
Love the pictures, somehow that enthalpy cartoon characterizes enthalpy perfectly. :D
Oh lordy! NOT MORE CHEMISTRY!
ReplyDeleteBut actually, this is pretty clever, Sana. :D
By the way, did you know that you won an AWWWWWWWARD on my blog? I forgot to tell you, but last week on Friday you did! Hurray!
Hehe This was quite funny, Sana!
ReplyDeleteEntropy has taken over my room and couped all other forces. It's scary. ^^
I have just noticed how ironic it is that I made Anita wear a bow on her head, which would make her look cuter and more innocent, even though she is the sour one...
ReplyDelete@Feathers: Thank you! I am glad that this post enlightened you. :)
@Scott: Thank you! There was just too much chemistry on my mind at the time of the post...Stupid SAT Subject Tests...
And thank you for the award! Now, I shall write the post of lies...soon.
@Zella: Thank you! And, oh dear...entropy is very good at taking over rooms, I have found. *sigh* But you can't help feeling sorry for the guy!
