hello again

I'm addicted to Lemon Juice, I use it as an upper. When I'm feeling down, or discouraged, I sneak over to the fridge, checking over my shoulder to make sure no one sees me, and I take a swig. I like how it makes me feel.

I've been taking Halls Cough Drops as a downer for years though.

I guess that would be my gateway drug.





Also whenever I get a toothpick I leave it in my mouth like a cigarette, usually clutched tight in the corner of my mouth with my back teeth, but occasionally rolling it around my jaw, taking it out if I intend to talk at length only to replace it only when I finish my point, and sometimes -if no one's looking- flipping it top over bottom against the roof of my moth with my tongue.

As you can see ("you" in this not being an actual reader, but a subdued sense of self-scrutiny) I haven't been updating this much or been putting much of anything worthwhile on it.

I like listing things though, which is responsible for this past little trend. I intend to start posting more interesting stuff on here. Soon.
