don't fool yourself into thinking there is any substitute for carnation instant breakfast. slim fast is a little gross...

it's 2:36 and i haven't eaten anything all day.

in trying to restrain myself from adding a million new entries today, i'm just going to add my random thoughts here throughout the night, as i expect (hope) nothing major is gonna happen today.

the owner of the open minds diaryring found me up to the name. yay.

best time waster: thespark.com and emode.com. if i were a survivor, i'd be teresa cooper. she was my favorite. i am a dork.

my mommy sent me a big box of food, including killer brownies. i love my mom. i can't wait to call her tonight.

also in the package: carnation instant breakfast. thank god.

it's very weird seeing people now. odd to act like i didn't know that cheryl's computer has been broken, and she's been using josh's. no, i didn't read that in her diary or anything... i hate this.
