What Happened
Was down to 6.5 hours of sleep last night, bummer. Probably the lack of steamed carrots showing it's ugly face again. I may just have to steam some carrots for tomorrow. Fortunately I did get a 15 minute cat nap before class today. I hope the professor didn't mind. Ah heck, what do I care, I needed it. Despite waking up early, I was still late to work by over an hour. I spent much of that checking on the web server to make sure it was running properly. Real web sites can easily handle a hundred thousand visitors in a day, but this is not a real web site, and it probably isn't set up anything close to properly. It's been struggling to keep from turning into a pile of molten metal on my bedroom floor. Hopefully Slashdot will link to it and actually cause my cable modem to melt before my computer.
I also added a Google Ad to the right side of the page under the link list. I've also explained why I did this, namely to cover a few costs associated with allowing people trample my internet connection to death. The $17 it earned me to day is $5 less than I spent on carrots, so please don't think that I'm trying to sell out or anything. If you wouldn't mind clicking on a relevant ad that interests you, I would greatly appreciate it.
In my gmailbox today I got an interesting lady-written letter.
I used to be (as is every girl in high school) pretty much anorexic, which to high school chicks often means eating tons of carrots. that's all i ate for like a year and yep, i turned orange...not bright orange, but orange enough to make people say...um, you're kinda orange...
First, anorexia is a serious condition. If you think that you, or anyone you know suffers from it, get help immediately.
Second, I had no idea that eating carrots was the same as being anorexic. So this is what it's like? I guess you can really see in my picture that I'm just wasting away to nothing. Before you know it, I'll be just bones, no skin left. I hope this ends before it is to late!
You know, I don't remember seeing orange girls in high school, anorexic maybe, but not orange. I probably just wasn't paying attention, which would probably describe my life from 8 to 18. I wonder how I got through an entire decade of life on auto pilot. How do I even cross the street by myself? I'm pretty sure this is where a girlfriend would come into play.
I also chatted briefly with my brother this evening. He's been a little bitter ever since our mom referred to him as a fat version of me. Anyway, I thought that since he has had like 12 visitors to his site in the year since its inception, it might help to smooth things if I linked to him and doubled his traffic. A word of warning though, his site is only interesting if you are into boring stuff. That, and some people say he's crazy.
Eating Schedule
I started the day off with one and a half glasses of fresh carrot juice, and a single raw carrot, and a few baby carrots. The baby carrots are because I ran out of regular sized carrots, and that being the situation, I took a bag of baby carrots with me to work. I slowly ate them through the day, finally finishing around 4:00 pm. A few carrots before the end I almost puked. It wasn't because of the carrots mind you, but because I was trying to drink the water from out there, which is like drinking mold. Ugh. I even went into the bathroom and stood there a minute before deciding I would be fine and should eat some more carrots to get that horrible taste out of my mouth. I can handle small amounts of that water, but a big bottle is just to much.
On the way home I picked up 5 more 5 lbs bags. That's right, 5 more. When I got home I juiced an entire five pound bag and drank the entire thing! Hah! Take that you carrotal fiends! I have made it my goal to eat all of these carrots before the end of my carrotaly track. That means I will eat 27 lbs of carrots in 5 days. Muahahaha! It's crunch time, and nothing can stop me.
How I Felt
I felt pretty hungry at work, despite the baby carrots and moldy water. I'm thinking that man cannot live on carrot juice alone and that I should be eating some more solid carrots in the morning. I should also take real water with me to work. I don't know where they get that imitation H2O that they push through the pipes out there, but it is definitely not what I am used to. Right now, I feel a little funny in the stomach. Not sick or uncomfortable, but I think my body is confused about what to do with that much carrot juice. It's to bad I can't feed it something it's familiar with, like a Snickers (candy bar of the gods).
Weight Measurement
5 lbs of juiced carrots and three trips to the potty for a meager 234.2 lbs. On the plus side, if I lose exactly a pound, my weight will be a palindrome. Is there any thought more satisfying?
