oh. . . my god. . . Ok. A little background information. I have a terrible addiction to Wintergreen Lifesavers. Like, i'll buy them in bulk and finish them off in 2 days. I can't stop eating them. I eat one, and then I eat 10 more. 15. 20! It's a real problem!! I keep buying them. . . I keep eating them. . . I think they mess up my teeth, if not my braces.

So, I've given them up. I stopped cold turkey. No more. And so far I've been able to keep that resolution. . . but. . . but. . . Katie has bought a great big bag of them!! She's eating them in this very room! I can smell them!! Augh! And they smell sooo good. . . ::sigh::

I won't eat any. . . I won't! lol. Cos I know if I eat one, i'll never be able to un-eat it. It's a test of willpower, you know?


Anyway. . . going to do some plugging for Impromanga. So if anyone knows me and not weezersoze you can check it out.

Uhm. Problems in health class. big project. . . stupid group. won't do anything. due halfway through period tomorrow. i'm not writing questions at home. . . they'll just reject them. won't listen to me or my suggestions to get things done. fuck it. i'm trying not to worry about it. better not keep me from getting over a 90 in that class though. (I wouldn't mind but I'm really trying to keep getting straight As. I hate it when my grade depends on others)

Going to do English project on Kurt Vonnegut. whoo hoo! Technically we don't get to choose our people yet, but I stayed after class and asked "what if we have a good idea of who we want to do already?" so she wrote me down for him. XD (i'm not supposed to spread it around though, so shh!)

tiiiiiiiired. or drained. something. feeling a little down. did get an immense amount of amusement from:

and

(subject is an Arthur quote)

oh yes. Since we've finished the AP and actually have time in social studies class, the teacher says that we can do chesnut orgies sometime soon!! XD XD XD

not worth a new entry, but I just had a thought! Ok, so I'm always coming up with these random quotes. Only I can never remember who I'm quoting. It's like, "I know I heard that somewhere or read it somewhere". Well, what if they're not quotes? What if I'm actually being hit with inspirations all the time!! Maybe I'm the next Oscar Wilde!! lol XD
No, I don't really think that. Considering I've forgotten what I said two sentences after I say it I'm inclined to believe it's my poor memory. lol. Which actually serves me pretty well--I can remember stuff for tests, which is more important and useful right now. This is just the sort of thing that occurs to me all the time. I usually don't tell anyone though. lol. Can you tell why? ;)

YAY VONNEGUT!!!

I used to be the same way with Peppermint Breath Savers, later, with the vanilla ones when they came out. At the height of my addiction, I'd use a pack and a half per day (roughly one per period), and so I had two rolls in my pocket always on the way to school. Once I got to college, I rationed off my supply, since I had no car freshman year to go to the grocery store and I'd be damned if I was gonna pay $3 for a 5-roll pack at Bearly Affordable, I mean , Bear Necessities. By the end of my freshman year, I'd been weaned off the habit. Interestingly enough, my halitosis problem also went away around that time. Go figure.

lol. glad you approve. . . we have to write how their work reflects the ethos of the decade, so I hope he'll be somewhat easy to do. We don't have to read the books we're writing about--we don't have time because she's giving us two weeks to do the damn thing--but I still feel this could pose a serious problem. (it's a research paper so we're supposed to be getting criticism and whatever, but I dunno. . .)

anyway. . . I don't think I'd be able to wean myself off. I think it's like alcohol: one lifesaver is too many. (for me) I hope I'll be strong enough not to find out. I'd gotten into the habit of buying two rolls at lunch fairly often (and it's 50 cents a roll) and then, if I was lucky, I'd be able to make it last til the end of the day. . . but I have lunch sixth period. O_O That's. . . I don't want to think about it. Actually, this may have been last year when I had lunch 4th period. . . my memory's gone. still.

Addiction is fun. I once tried to give up air, but the withdrawal was a bitch. I have no willpower. Gimme my Mountain Dew!!!

Stupid groups and stupid group projects. Stupid stupid stupid! Grr, I'm having the same problems with my stupid group. I say: Kill them, kill them all! Mwahahahahahahahaha!

I want to eat Carrot Cake Soup now.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

lol. air? hmm. me and susan were going to give up food last year. it was just too damn expensive. lol. Luckily I haven't actually had any withdrawl symptoms from the lifesavers. (mountain dew'd be harder, right? if I remember correctly you do get caffeine withdrawl symptoms)

I'm with you on the groups -_- ugh. my sisters class had like, a week to do this. we had two periods. actually, my group only had one because 4 out of 7 people were absent yesterday. at least this means it'll be over soon.

I know!! I really want to try it! I've never eaten carrot cake in an of itself though. . .

[renniekins.livejournal.com]

The way most people make carrot cake, it has nuts in it (yucky). But if you're lucky enough to find one without nuts, it can be delightful. I'm not so sure about the soup idea, although it sounds like it Might be good....so long as there weren't nuts in your carrot cake....

[guingel.livejournal.com]

oooh, cool. now I'm going to have to try it. I'm not sure about the soup either--wouldn't it get soggy? or is it more like dipping Oreos in milk (I had to buy milk today at lunch so I could eat my oreos).

Re:

[renniekins.livejournal.com]

I imagine it would get soggy. But perhaps it would be soggy in a good way? I dunno - but do let us know the results of your experiment. (:

[guingel.livejournal.com]

lol. will do! :D

[cloudtrader.livejournal.com]

There aren't bad withdrawal symptoms if you stop your daily caffeine intake, just some light headaches for a few days.

Carrot cake is good! I really like carrot cake, except when it has raisins in it.

[guingel.livejournal.com]

uuugh, raisins. XP Actually, I don't mind raisins when they're by themselves, but I hate them in baked goods. yick. I always take them out of my cinnamon buns and leave them on the side of my plate. we call them rat droppings. makes it hard for me to get rid of them: "Hey, anyone want my rat droppings?"

(glad to hear it about the caffeine, I may end up weaning myself offa that some day. . . My mom drinks a lot of tea, but at least it doesn't have as much caffeine as cawfee)

Oh, I weaned myself off my cherry Tango addiction really easily.

Mind you, that's because I no longer work ni the place that has a cherry Tango vending machine out back and cherry Tango just doesn't taste as nice when it's not icy cold and in a slightly damp tin...

Now I have to deal with my milk addiction. :) I bought six pints today and I reckon they'll be gone by Thursday. At the latest. *cackles* At least it's cheaper and healthier than other things, that's what I keep telling myself...

[guingel.livejournal.com]

cherry tango?

a lot of people would be lucky to have a milk addiction. . . you'll probably save yourself a lot of trouble. and not only is it good for you in and of itself, hopefully if you're drinking milk you aren't drinking other, less good stuff.
I love milk, I think it tastes great, but I wouldn't call it an addiction yust yet. Maybe because I'm sensitive to cold (like ice cream headaches and all that) so I have to drink it slowly and stuff. s'a pain.
