i have no idea what i want. i want to try the bison burger but than i will feel silly going out to a fancy place and eating a hamburger. joe has already decided he wants the meatloaf. i am going to try a little bite. i never had venison before, i know what it is but it makes me feel better not calling it what it really is. someone this excited about food should not have fucking stomach problems.
when i come home for spring break i am going for a colonoscopy. oh just what i always wanted to do on my spring break! my mom told me today that she doesn't think i will ever feel "100%" better. this is bullshit. i feel ok most days but than i get intense pains and i want to curl up and die. i should not have pain everyday. doesn't anyone else see a problem with this? i can't wait till i am done my steroids so i stop acting all crazy like.
well at least i have other things to look forward too. like i am learning to drive. without my permit. shhh don't tell anyone, i will have it soon. i am learning to rebuild my engine on my vespa, joe and i are pulling it this weekend to start. i am excited about my new sculpture and we are having a junior show so i get to submit a piece and for once i don't know which one to submit because they are all equally awesome. my first show! it is only one piece but i am still excited. my income tax check should be deposited soon and i will have cash money again. i get my hair cut soon and easter is coming. i love easter. i love peeps and bunnies and those little minature peanut butter and caramel candies my mom gets me. easter means ham. pig is my favorite meat by far. i talk about food a lot. haha. i gained back six pounds of the twenty lost. i don't think i will gain much more back because i don't drink soda anymore. the last time i stopped drinking soda i lost 20 pounds but i also weighed a lot more. oh well, but seriously, boobs do not come back.
