Long Fingernails. sometimes i grow my fingernails out because i like to have long fingernails. they get the job done for various things like getting the plastic out of a cap of sprite. But people crowd around me and say how sick long fingernails are. i dont understand that, short fingernails are exactly the same and have less purpose than long ones. not to mention that long fingernails are quite smooth. what used to be sick was when i would cut my nails into a triangle, so there would be a sharp point at the end, that was just odd, i did that for a year and though it would suck to have them normal, but i cant stand triangle cuts anymore. How come if girls have long nails its pretty (unless they are grotesque and huge)? mine only grew like a half inch before they came off the last time i grew them out. you can sell an inch of nail for about 250$ at john's hopkins, does that give it a purpose too? yes! ok this is a stupid rant, but wait for another one.
