How do you feel today?
Moderator: Orlion
That's 1,000 more words than I've written for my best seller, and I've been working on it for 6 or 7 years (I have a lot of background material for it though). Good luck with your writing!Seareach wrote:So far I've written about 1000 words on my best seller (and that only took me a couple of weeks). I should be 90 by the time I'm finished!
For the past few days I've been trying to decide whether or not I should feel horrible. A couple of days ago I was talking on the phone with a friend when I realized I hadn't eaten anything yet that day, and it was already almost 3pm. This happens occasionally, especially when I sleep in and then am busy for a while. I'm usually not concerned about it because my body can handle waiting for a few more hours, and I snack into the evening to make up the calories. When my friend told me I needed to eat something right away, I told her that I could wait a bit yet and it wasn't like I was anorexic where it would be an issue. She then told me that she was in a group to deal with her anorexia, and I was the third person she told. I immediately apologized and asked if she was offended (she said she wasn't), but I can't help but think it made her feel bad. I imagine she wouldn't have informed me of it if I hadn't stuck my foot in my mouth. I've known her for four years and had no suspicions of her having anorexia, so I was really surprised. Now I'm not sure how to handle it.

I agree with Avatar, if anything it was a friend who had gone through some hard times trying to make sure their friends don't have the same experiance. I wouldn't worry too much over whether or not you offended her ('cause if you did, you'll hear about it eventually
)
I woke up with a slight headache and a kinda sicky stomach... couldn't have anything to do with the massive amounts of alcohol I consumed last night. Feeling good over all, I remember everything including throwing up in front of a police officer (no ticket, possibly because I did it in a trash can) and the stumbling walk home. Right now, I need to find something really greasy...

At least you weren't driving, Orlion....
Auleliel, I agree with the Av and Orlion. No way you could've known. I bet *she* feels a little embarrassed, too, jumping in and assuming you're anorexic because you hadn't eaten all day.

Nice scooter, CJ! How does it do on the hills?
I've thought about getting a Vespa, but if one of these lighter scooters can handle going up and down inclines adequately, I might broaden what I'm considering.

This is what I did this weekend.... well, Ryan did this particular one but I did some hard four wheeling in his jeep too.


It's technically not a scooter, it's a moped and I haven't had it on the hills yet, we just got it running last week. It was sitting in a garage for ten years. I'll let you know when I get it registered and can actually drive it out on the streets.

That can look jarring if you roll off those rocks wrong, Jenn.
Softball tonight at 8:30. The weather is cold and a little rainy, but not enough to cancel the game. Too bad. I really don't feel like going out tonight after being out till midnight last night.
