Monstrous Food and Vicodin

Jan 07, 2005 02:08



So I slept for two and a half days, and now I can't sleep, go figure. I'm thinking about upgrading to a paid account again, but I'm so poor. Maybe next holiday I should ask for someone to get me a paid account. But maybe I can scrounge up five bucks for two months. I wish I knew how to make my own mood theme and my own layout. I tried to teach myself last year, but it didn't really work out. I miss Wudi. It's worse at night, maybe because I was used to getting to sleep next to him at least four nights a week, sometimes more when I'd beg him or he had less to do that week. Basically all night I've just been doing random stuff... like earlier I looked up stuff on hard water for Wudi's dad, and before that I was looking up college majors for Wudi. Oh and my friend Jesse sent me a link earlier about fast food: get this, the Hardee's Monster Thickburger? It has 1,420 calories. That's more than some people are supposed to have in one day. And that's not including a medium fry (520 calories) and soda (400 more calories). Now, I'm not one of those big dieting people- in fact if I hear "low carb" one more time I think I might scream-- right before I go eat a big plate of bread and pasta-- but this is ridiculous. And, since curiosity got the best of me, I checked out other major fast food chains "big" burgers: McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese: 770 calories. Burger King's Double Whopper with Cheese: 1,060 calories. Wendy's Classic Triple with Cheese: 940 calories. And all of these have so much saturated fat and sodium and stuff it's ridiculous. I may not be big into dieting, but my god, I don't want to die of a heart attack before I turn 30, for god's sake! Anyway. Enough of that. I just found that... disturbing. This is why I try to never know anything about calories or carbs or any of that. Tomorrow I have to go do that library research assignment. I was dreading it, and I was thinking about half-assing it as much as possible, but actually I think I won't. This will actually probably be good practice for law school, so I better get used to it. And god knows I've avoided the library long enough, considering I have enough credits now to be a senior. That's actually kind of impressive, the minimal amount of time I've had to spend in the library for research. Ah well. It's the end of a good era. But my back and knees are really killing me... I think I might take a vicodin and hopefully that'll help me sleep.
