beandelphikiHmm, well, apparently I still have a loyal readership. *grin*
In response to "it's your journal!" type comments...well, that's quite true. And I would be quick to tell others that.
At the same time, I increasingly feel that lj is a public performance. Some people don't view it that way, or don't care, and I admire their ability to fuck the rules of lj etiquette (post IM logs whenever they feel like it, rant endlessly if they feel like it, etc.) However, I do not seem to be the type of person to do that...certainly not without anonymity, anyway.
It's interesting to me to watch how my attitude toward this constantly fluctuates. "Ah, screw it, I don't care!...oooh, yes I dooo..."
Anyway, on a totally different topic: my eating habits. They're HORRIBLE.
I have realized that my eating routine goes like this:
-get up sometime between 10 am and 1 pm. Feel too sick to eat after just getting up. Do not eat for several hours.
-4:30 p.m. Eat a small snack. (Otherwise, pass out.) Probably something extremely unhealthy.
-6:00 p.m. Get called for supper. Not hungry, due to snack. Eat some bread and a few mouthfuls of rice, or some such.
-3:00 a.m. Eat something to avoid passing out. Such as a hunk of meat. Then go to bed.
-wake up in the morning (or afternoon) and repeat process
And I've been eating like this for WEEKS.
...I'm vaguely wondering why I'm still alive. (No, not really, although I AM wondering why I don't feel like crap.)

Date: 2002-08-26 09:07 pm (UTC)Yup. That's me all over. It doesn't matter! (but it does) This isn't important! (but it is) I have a real life outside of the internet! (but I don't)
That kind of thing. When I come to a conclusion on how I feel about LJ, whether it's a public forum or private journal, I'll let you know. It's both. And neither...
Bah.

Date: 2002-08-27 09:28 pm (UTC)Thing is, I've never really eaten a lot, and I have this weird ability to completely ignore any need for food for...actually, days. I think that started when I was really little, and my parents would lock me in my room for a couple of days to punish me, and not feed me. (They haven't done that since I was five, though. Possibly they found a parenting book that said not to. They were very young to be parents so they did some really dumb things.)
I have this hatred of food because most of the fights in our house start at dinner time...my parents were more likely to hit us at dinner time...and food itself is a source of fights in our house, too. (If you get a snack without asking for it, you're "stealing food".) So maybe part of it is my whole attitude....?
I don't drink soda, but um, ... I drink Kool-Aid!

Date: 2002-08-27 10:25 pm (UTC)Yeah, dinner time was always pretty stressful for us growing up too. Instead of everyone relaxing and conversing like normal people....I don't know how to put it, it was just STRESSFUL. I dreaded it most of the time. All it took was for my brother to look at me the wrong way, and me burst out laughing, and we would get bitched and screamed at for infinity! >:(
I also have an aversion to any type of spaghetti..my hubby and I had a terrible fight years ago, while we were having that food of course...and now it always turns my stomach to just see or smell it.
I drink mostly soda, but I LOVE kool-aid, lol. Black Cherry or Lemon Lime is my fave...
I hope your eating habits improve...they certainly aren't healthy, but then again most peoples aren't. It IS a wonder you don't feel run down or anything!
