Use a lighter or matches, if possible. If you are in prison, however, you may not have access to a traditional fire-starter. Find a way to make fire without a lighter. You will need fire both to make the ink and to disinfect the needle. Try "popping a socket". Open up an electrical socket, then hold a pencil tip and a wire up to the charged interior. This will create a spark. Hold a piece of paper or tissue against the spark until it catches flame. Be very careful when handling flame. On one hand, you might badly burn yourself or start a fire that you can't control. You also run the risk of attracting the attention of the guards. Use the cotton (or paper) as a wick: light a dry corner of the flammable material, and let it ignite the oil. Arrange the metal sheet or "soot collector" so that the smoke hits it. As the baby oil burns, the metal sheet will blacken with soot. Let the baby oil burn until it is spent, and let the metal cool before handling it directly. Be prepared to burn the baby oil several times. The burning process does not produce a lot of powder, so you may need to burn the oil several times until you have enough to harvest. Use a paper or plastic card to scrape the black powder from the metal sheet. Do not use a razor or another metal scraper to remove the soot the metal might leave shards in the powder, which will then wind up in your skin. Start by scraping the powder onto a clean, smooth surface or a white piece of paper. Do not expose the powder to any moisture until you're ready to mix your ink. The metal sheet and canister will be hot from the flame. Do not handle the metal directly until you've given it time to cool. Avoid using a credit card to scrape soot from hot metal, as the edge of the card might melt into the powder.

Summary: Make fire. Burn the baby oil and cotton. Save the black powder.

One of the best ways to figure out if you like a certain guy or girl is to spend time with them alone. If the conversation flows naturally, they make you laugh, and you leave the date feeling satisfied and happy, it's a pretty clear sign that you like them. If you don't feel comfortable with them or they seem distant during your date, it might be a sign that there isn't a connection between the two of you. Don't feel bad if you want to end things after a bad date. In the long run, you're saving time and effort for the both of you. If you jump on your phone when they text you and never let their calls go to voicemail, it's a good sign that you're really into them. No matter how busy your day is, you should want to send them a message just to let them know you're thinking of them! If they text you and you often don't have any desire to respond or have nothing to say, you might just see them as a friend. If you constantly see things that make you think of them, it's a good sign that you actually like them. Pay attention to how many times throughout the day you tell them about something you think they'd like, and how many times you tell your friends and family a funny story or fact about them. If you don't really think of them throughout the day, you might just be spending time with them when you're feeling lonely. Going out with your friends or bonding with your family will surround you with people who you like and have a good time with. If you find yourself wishing that they were there, or wanting to text them to give them an update on the day, it's a good sign that you actually like them. If you don't really think about them when you're with other people, ask yourself why. You might've just been too busy to think about them, or you might just be interested in them because you don't want to be alone. Try to be honest with yourself about your feelings. Having someone who will celebrate the good things and help you figure out the bad things is an important part of a relationship. If something major happens in your life, pay attention to who you call or text first. If it's them, you probably trust and respect them a lot. It's okay to make exceptions for people like your parents or best friend, who you might reach out to first. However, they should probably be one of the first people who you contact when something happens in your life.

Summary: Determine if you leave a date with them feeling happy. Figure out if you feel excited when they call or text you. Recognize when you see things that remind you of them. Spend time with other people to see if you miss them. Notice if you contact them first when you get good or bad news.

The easiest time for you to do this is in the morning after the sun has risen and evaporated any dew. Use a pair of shears or scissors to cut leafy bunches free of the plant, leaving a portion of the stem remaining. Then, gather the bunches into small bundles and use a rubber band around the stems to fasten the bundles together. Try not to bundle the oregano together too densely. This can cause uneven drying and could result in a less than desirable finished product. This will prevent dust from accumulating on your oregano as it dries and will keep the sun from bleaching the color from the plant. Paper bags work well for covering your bundles, but you should cut slits in these bags to promote airflow so the herb dries better. You should keep an eye on your oregano while it is drying. Direct sunlight can sometimes cause moisture to build up in the bag, which could cause mold to grow and ruin your dried oregano. The time it takes to dry will depend on your climate. In some regions, it may take a few days, others may take as long as two weeks. You'll want to hang your plants in an area that is warm and dry, but out of direct sunlight. Some places you might consider for drying your oregano include your attic, porch, a clothesline, or even in your kitchen. If you plan on drying outside, you should keep an eye on the weather. Rain could spoil your hard work. When the leaves have become brittle, it's ready to be stored. Lay out a sheet of wax paper and place your bundles onto it. Then you should crumble the plants and pick out the stems, which can be thrown away. Store your dried oregano in an airtight jar, and enjoy it throughout the year. To easily transfer your dried oregano into a container, you might want to take the wax paper by two corners and form a funnel with it. Place one end of the funnel above the mouth of your container and tap the paper to shake the dried leaves into it.

Summary: Gather your oregano. Cover the bundles. Hang the bundles to dry. Store your dried oregano.
