Canned Peaches At Midnight//The World Map.......

Haha the title reminds me of a Magic Tree House title. XD
For some reason, I dislike canned things, except for corn and peaches, I suppose. You know those fruit cups or whatnot with those cherries (ew!), pears, pineapples mandarins, and peaches? I realized, I've always like the peaches for some strange inexplicable reason.. Anyways, that's why I've bought canned peaches and am now eating them while researching on the internet whether canned fruits have the same nutritional value as fresh fruits, and I must say, it has dispelled some of my beliefs about the former. First of all, let's establish that I am talking about canned fruit without the preservatives, additives, syrups, sugar and all that added stuff to the fruit that is obviously going to result in less nutritional value than fresh fruits. Now, from my browsing, it seems that there is not as much of a difference between canned vs. fresh fruit in terms of nutritional value, as most people think. There are some vitamins and stuff lost, but how much depends on so many factors, from the process, and type of fruit/vegetable being canned and so on.

Here are some of the links- of course, there are biases, esp. in the first one, so that's why there's more than one link. XP

So it being late at night and all, I get into all these moods and sometimes revelations and realizations and laughter fits and strange longings, meloncholy, and now sudden cravings (for Sprite(in that other post), for fruit?). Wow. Sounds like pregnancy. (O___O) Hahaha!

Well. I got up to look at my beautiful and beloved poster #2 that I bought at the poster sale back in September. It's a World Map. I was just checking out Southeast/west Asia 'cause Any posted a Sri Lanka tourist Youtube video on my wall and I'm going to go watch that soon.

Looking at the world map, it suddenly came to me that I know at least one person from every continent in the world. With the exclusion of Antarctica (Well, I know Pingu. He can be my someone =P )
It's sort of mind boggling and interesting at the same time.
