  <title>FML - Burned</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/50173.html</link>
  <description>Quick little somethin&apos;-somethin&apos;: B was able to procure a laptop from her dad around Thanksgiving and with some effort on her part getting the proper drivers for Windows (as she was dual booting with Ubuntu), I&apos;m back online. Woot! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh, MacBook Pro dreams are on hold as I&apos;ve decided I DO NOT want to be the owner of a super shiny $1300 toy in my current neighborhood. Plus, I&apos;d rather put that money to good use for me by moving the fuck out of Crackhead Park and to the swank, gay friendly, &quot;OMFG JEWS/SYNOGOGUE!&quot; 5 Points/Southside area. (I swear - let me have an actual shower, water paid for apt with a possible dishwasher while being around some good ol&apos; homos and Jewish ppl and shit would be SO CASH. I&apos;d have a moment.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&apos;s the deal - I need some of you ppl out in LJ land to hook me up with your email so I can send you an invite to DailyBurn. All you have to do is sign up with the link I send and if I get three, I get a month of Pro free. Don&apos;t use the fucker if you don&apos;t want - just help a sista out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m thinking of dropping $160 on a WiFi Withings scale. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.withings.com/en/bodyscale/design&quot;&gt;http://www.withings.com/en/bodyscale/design&lt;/a&gt;) That fucker is SEXY. I don&apos;t know how I&apos;ll be able to hide such a purchase but it&apos;s so hot. And dammit, I need a scale! Mmm... It&apos;ll auto-update my iPhone app and DB acct. My dieting world would be complete. Mmmmm... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just spent WAY TOO LONG making a google spreadsheet that listed weights and BMI&apos;s according to goal/weight classification/HWs/CWs/etc. Some ED habits will never die. o.O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BATH TIEM.</description>

  <title>Whinge? I think not.</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/48136.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;I will forever and always get tripped up when someone who is well under the 250 mark, probably 225 +/-, and maybe under 200 gives out a waist size that is greater than my own. I&apos;ve been tweaked out over that for a while, actually. I was just reading about a girl being 185-200, 5&apos;8, and her waist was nearly 42&quot;.  My waist is 39&quot;. Even if I&apos;m 6&quot; taller, I weigh a LOT more than 185. Either way, I suppose. I&apos;ll always feel like the biggest person in a room. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think  I dreamt that I was 5&apos; wide and jiggly. :-/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m down 5# - 66# from my all time HW, 25# from my &apos;09 HW. 95# to go. FUCK. When I hit the -51# (from 09HW), -82# (1/2 of total goal), -152# marks (less than 50# to go), I&apos;ll be happier. 26/16/86# to go respectively. I have to keep looking at the smaller numbers as they seem much more obtainable than looking at a big, scary 161. That seems impossible. 14# and I&apos;ll be back to my Canada weight (2006). Man, I just want back in my Canada jeans! I&apos;m not saying I&apos;ll wear them, but I want to be able to slide into then once again. They&apos;re cute tho, and I looked banging.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Been walking around Southside this morning for about thirty. Feels lovely in this cold especially since the sun is still buning hot. I&apos;ve really gotten into this mindset that I want to exercise.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a date tonight with Bex. Eep! ^_^&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Work at 11 til 4. Not a bad shift really. I&apos;m tempted to go in early, tho. I was supposed to be in at 8 until they called me. Meh. I&apos;m bored. Maybe I&apos;ll go putter around the bookstore or something. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think when I get my FinAid I&apos;m going to buy a rename token. I&apos;m thinking of having the name &apos;hmmpbr&apos;. I like it and it seems almost kind of cool. LOL. It has meaning to it and it&apos;s easier to type than menthe_no9. I&apos;m stilly minty fresh to death. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fuck my life I can&apos;t wait to get my MacBook!!! 13&quot; of pure magic. &amp;lt;3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Posted via &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/cosysoftware_en/&quot;&gt;LiveJournal.app&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Recovery from Hell</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/47698.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Started a little weightloss challenge on DailyBurn to lose 100#. While my initial goal was 100 from when I started at my HW this year, I think I want to start from where I was at my 25th birthday (Monday). That would mean, after all is said and done, I&apos;d be 161.1# lighter than I was 9.23.03 - the day my ED stuff became a demon that I couldn&apos;t fight anymore; a day my mind fragmented just a little bit more.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your progress for this challenge:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(blank bar image my lj.app decided to fuck off over)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still 100 lbs. to go. Step it up!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve kind of gotten into the habit of using DailyBurn. Those blinking bars telling me about my intake of fat and calories and protein and carbs make me -want- to reach my goals. What annoys me the most, however, is that DB decided my goals for me. They don&apos;t seem right to me for some reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recommended Nutrition Goals:&lt;br /&gt;- between 2185 - 2435 calories.&lt;br /&gt;- between 184 - 277 grams carbs.  &lt;br /&gt;- between 141 - 242 grams protein. &lt;br /&gt;- between 44 - 77 grams fat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fat I&apos;ve conquered. Carbs I&apos;m conquerring. Their calorie intake seems way too high. I&apos;ve been trying to stay under 1800 while getting at least 1200. Protein is a BITCH. Maybe it&apos;s because I&apos;m not a big carnivore. I had ~58g yesterday. That&apos;s GREAT for me. I normally font even get that much. I&apos;d rather do 50g fat, 60g protein, and the rest in carbs (abt 278). Meh. I don&apos;t like not reaching my goals.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m trying to &apos;recover&apos; from all of my years dealing with binging, purging, laxitive abuse, heavy restricting, fasting, and self-hatred. I&apos;ve been able to kick drugs for exactly 9mo today. I&apos;ve all but kept myself from any serious self-mutilation. I want my body to be right too. 11 years+ is not my idea of fun. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So yeah... For a bit over a week I could pass a good bowel movement. I swelled up. I felt horrible. I gained 5# of SHIT. Finally, today, I could go. I feel so relieved. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know I have shit to say but this gets tedious on my phone. Eep. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;xxx&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Posted via &lt;a href=&quot;http://community.livejournal.com/cosysoftware_en/&quot;&gt;LiveJournal.app&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <title>Facebook Update</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/46352.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;A simple update using the notes feature. I&apos;m sure I&apos;d shoot myself without this iPhone. It&apos;s damn handy. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the third, B and I were broken into. Save for a mess of stuff being overturned and all that goodness, no one was hurt. They did manage to steal three laptops tho. Mine didn&apos;t work and one was rather old but I feel bad for B as hers held all of her mega bible stuff from the past five years. It was like being mentally raped, our home and privacy violated as it was. It&apos;s sad that the only window without bars caused us this hardship. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monday I will be twenty five!!! Taj India is still going down so be sure to check the events page. It&apos;ll start around 7pm and last until they close. It&apos;s ok if you can&apos;t make it. It&apos;s rather informal. I just wanted my ppl together. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pray for my friend Diane. DHR and the cops got involved with her and her girlfriend over her girl&apos;s son, Jake, and no one knows anything concrete. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&apos;m returning to school in January! Anthropology degree ahoy. FinAid taken care of as of tomorrow. My loan will go toward my MacBook, books, and a sofa. The rest is bills and engagement rings.

  <description>Just a bit of something before I try to sleep off the next three hours before work @ 2. I&apos;m a lazy bitch, sure, but dammit if waking up @ 630 to take B to work after bed @ 1230 doesn&apos;t drain me. Gotta catch up somehow. When college starts in January, I&apos;m so fucked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of, I&apos;M GOING BACK TO SCHOOL! After 8 long motherfucking months, I&apos;m finally getting back into school. I never thought I&apos;d miss it but I do. My FinAid is in order so I&apos;ll be having one SWEET ASS check come late January. (~$2500) Oy... but now it seems as if I&apos;m going to have to go to the Shelby Campus for school instead of the usual Jefferson one I&apos;m used to. It&apos;s not so bad - SC is newer and almost kind of better than JC and it&apos;s closer but it&apos;s more like I&apos;m being forced into it rather that it happening by my own choice. Either way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m only doing part time and I&apos;ve gotten it down as to what I&apos;m taking:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANT 200 --- Introduction to Anthropology - 30475 - MW 9:30am 10:45am - SCGSB 215&lt;br /&gt;ENG 246 --- Creative Writing - 32377- MW 12:30pm 1:45pm - SCGSB 30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing that makes me fucking JOYOUS. AND I&apos;m finally taking a class for my major (Anthropology) and the creative writing class I wanted. Aside from the fact that I&apos;m nearly out of electives and made to take only cores from now on, I think I can stick these ones out and make huge A&apos;s. My GPA will love me for it. Then when B finally gets in school, I can take Math 100 again and erase that stupid fucking F I got in Summer 08 and my GPA will be MAGIC. (One damn C tho. Makes me sad.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m sad tho... B&apos;s going to have to go thru all types of hell trying to get her transcripts, ACT scores (if it turns out her home schooling program wasn&apos;t accredited), and then all the drama with her being Andrew/Andreas in school but now Rebecca. (It&apos;s a story I&apos;ll tell later.) I want her in school with me so badly!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to talk to Lisa about seeing what I have to do to get on the fast track of being an Associate Trainer. I&apos;ll be damned if I get stuck in this job like my last ones!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I have IBS. I prefer the term &quot;spastic colon&quot; because, honestly, my entire body is a spaz. Damn... I haven&apos;t used the word &quot;spaz&quot; since 8th grade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More later perhaps. Or I&apos;ll just twitter retarded. DEGRASSI!!!</description>

  <title>I&apos;m becoming a macfag and eating some stuff...</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/43578.html</link>
  <description>&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I got my first ever handy dandy laptop back in March of 2007. It was handy and it was pretty damn dandy. I could take it anywhere and it was just kind of magic, having always had desktops yet always wanting to be mobile. I got, at the time, one sweet ass Gateway running with a gig of RAM (LOL worthy today) and 80GB HD and Vista and some other stuff - blah blah blah. I was in heaven until, for some reason, the blasted battery told me to fuck off. It died. But I am lucky and resourceful at times. I&apos;d also gotten a laptop for my mother of the same variety. Well, soon *my* laptop&apos;s DC-jack pin thing said fuck you as well. It came off of the motherboard and wouldn&apos;t charge. I commandeered my mother&apos;s laptop (that she didn&apos;t use once yet had a cracked screen). Finally, in the beginning of 2009, having dropped the laptop and deadpixeling out the screen, I set myself up to get her screen fixed AND get my DC-jack fixed on my laptop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The screen was $300. (The computer was only $600.) My motherboard had to be replaced for $350 (on an $850 machine). I got my mother&apos;s fixed and let mine stay &amp;quot;dead&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Later,&amp;quot; I told myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the same fate of my laptop both with the battery and the DC-jack befell my mother&apos;s laptop randomly. I haven&apos;t been able to use it for nearly two months, using my girlfriend&apos;s Toshiba that, bless it&apos;s heart, overheats very easily while the heatsink burns the FUCK out of my left knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having gotten an iPhone in mid-August of this year (right after my computer died), I thought to get a Mac. I saw one of my LJ ppl going on about the bitchmade-ness that&apos;s been going on with her Mac and it kind of scared me. But, I&apos;ve come to the conclusion that, in the long run, having gone thru two PC&apos;s and two laptops since 2000, I think it might be time for my normally tech-savvy self to give up Microsoft and go with Apple. If I think about it, the average lifespan for a Windows machine is ~5 years. I *should* have been good for at least 20 years or some shit but fuck that... I&apos;ve not even gotten 10. (My last PC lasted for just around 3 years, 1 and a bit in proper working order.) When I get my next student loan in January, I plan to march into the Apple store at The Summit and procure a spiffy little MacBook and pray like hell that it doesn&apos;t tell me to fuck off in a couple of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I *will* be buying an extended warranty, if I can. (Tho the price tag on all things Apple - including the extended warranty - is RIDONKULOUS. Oh, the price of a monopoly!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, AT&amp;amp;T is threatening to cut us off from the internet. Nevermind the fact that our service in The Hood is GOD AWFUL and I&apos;m usually calling them up @ all hours just to see if I can get my DSL back online - fuck that. They&apos;re getting pissy about me having to split my payments up because, you know, I run out of money sometimes. Yes, yes, I know. I should ALWAYS pay my bill ON TIME and IN FULL but shit... This is the one time I&apos;m SO not overly anxious about missing a bill payment. Seriously - if I could (and I canNOT), I&apos;d give up this bastard AT&amp;amp;T crap and find something better. The only quarter redeeming factor about it all is the modem - it&apos;s automatically a WiFi &amp;quot;hot spot&amp;quot;. I do dig not being tethered to something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know - I REALLY HATE LIVING IN THE GHETTO. They hire the worst people to mow the complex&apos;s grass. I&apos;m waiting for all of my still real glass windows to break. FUCK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid2&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I&apos;m having some sort of mini-war with myself over all the ED crap I&apos;ve been dealing with over the years. It&apos;s not even a matter of reflection or what have you. I&apos;m warring over the demon that says, &amp;quot;Fuck it - STARVE, BINGE, PURGE!!! LOSE TONS OF WEIGHT NOOOOOOW!!!&amp;quot; and the now stronger, smarter side that says, &amp;quot;Bri - a diet is OKAY. You just gotta be sensible, logical, near-enlightened about it. OHM.&amp;quot; Of course, there&apos;s the other demon telling me, &amp;quot;Fuck it - you&apos;re fat and will always be fat. Why bother? Just continue being apathetic. FEED ME!!! GIVE ME 3k CALORIES IN COOKIES NOOOOOOW!!!&amp;quot; Who in their right fucking mind has two demons on their shoulders? And some yogi being all Hindu-tastic about being &amp;quot;enlightened&amp;quot;? I swear that&apos;s a devil in angels clothing because that&apos;s a slippery slope to either side. I&apos;m trying to be healthier now. I just wish I wasn&apos;t so non-commital about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will NEVER enjoy the &amp;quot;rearranging&amp;quot; my body does from time to time, the one that builds up an illusion that I&apos;m losing tons of weight when the numbers are telling me I haven&apos;t done shit while my diet is so piss poor, it needs gov&apos;t assistance. &amp;quot;OMG Bri, you&apos;ve lost sooooo much weight! WOW!!!&amp;quot; Umm, no I haven&apos;t. Really. I&apos;m still a loser who&apos;s huge and scarfing down cookies from time to time while drinking full sugar soda. FML. Oh, and in case you didn&apos;t hear, I have some weirdo hormone shit going down where I make too many boy hormones or some shit. Guess what? Androgens can make your body fat move or something just like estrogen gives transwomen a more womanly shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve gone manic with Windows Calendar. It may not be a spreadsheet but I&apos;ve definitely &amp;quot;calendar-ized&amp;quot; the fuck out of my life. I should really make a budget in Excel so that B and I can start saving a little something each month. I mean FUCK - I want a couch!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I should upload 50 icons now. And you&apos;re welcome. I know I&apos;ve been ass raping you ppl&apos;s F-page so I&apos;e decided to use cuts from now on. Cuts back on the hxc scrolling and I don&apos;t have to stop being one verbose son of a bitch. &amp;lt;3&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/43340.html</link>
  <description>I gotta say it: I&apos;m sorry for writing epic poems about bullshit. I really have nothing good to say any more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking back to this time last year, I can say I have no idea what the fuck I was doing. Reading the LJ entry closest to today, I was getting ready to pack my shit and head to Montgomery to visit GK for the first time. Oh, that was such a mindfuck. To think I was about to meet Bex in the physical realm/IRL for the first time in 10/11 days this time last year. Well fuck...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evening has been one where I&apos;ve just wanted to go to Wal-Mart and end up shit faced on high priced cough medicine. Nearly 9 months and I&apos;m still bargaining with myself for the fuck of it. Who the hell knows? It doesn&apos;t makes sense to me. I swear the only thing keeping me from finding a way is knowing that B would leave me until I was able to sober up again. The idea that such a thing - her leaving me - is possible for her for whatever reason guts me. I know she says she couldn&apos;t take it and would have to wait for me to &quot;get better&quot; but shit... FUCK. BAH - I won&apos;t fucking do it anyway. I&apos;ll be sparkly, sober ~*Bri*~ because slipping up for whatever reason would only make Becca go away. Shit, I could cry about that right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that I&apos;ve only been @ Panera for going on 7 months now but I really want to start expediting the processes that would allow me to become an associate trainer and get a raise. If I was making 25-50c more an hour, sure - cut me back to 4 days. Cool. As it is, I&apos;m either gonna be working my balls off or just feeling completely disenchanted with work all together. Brianna will be leaving at the end of the month (heifer is getting married/turning 18!) and it&apos;s just kind of mind fucking. I don&apos;t really have people to chill with as it is and now the only real ally I have and the one person I can bitch about shit is leaving. FML.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl FINALLY got transferred to a better store and will fully begin there on Wednesday with Monday night/this morning being her last night to EVER have to drive to 119 and deal with Hickville fuckers. Yeah, yeah, yeah... I&apos;m happy she&apos;s not going to have to worry about her ex-in-laws or all of those fuckers who call her &quot;he&quot; but I&apos;m happier that the money coming into the house will balance itself out some. For the past 5 months, I&apos;ve been the one who&apos;s been paying all the bills and such so its nice to finally have a moment to breathe, plan, and recalculate the budget. Perhaps by Xmas we can actually own a sofa and something to house our huge mound of clothes in. I like the idea of not having to piss myself every first of the month wondering how in the HELL we&apos;re planning on paying the rent and car note. ($535 of a $537 check.) Maybe our credit will actually start improving. Maybe I can start to put her notion of us moving to Toronto into action and shit will get rolling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This just in... Chick has an interview tomorrow. I will fill people in later. Something about life insurrance and being a manager? Sure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oy - I&apos;ll write more shit when I think of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll be 25 in 20 days. FML.</description>

  <title>I wish I knew what screw was giving me elctric shock therapy.</title>
  <link>http://menthe-no9.livejournal.com/43125.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s 121am. &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m awake. &lt;br /&gt;I have to drive B to work @ 615.&lt;br /&gt;I have work @ 2.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m going to be fucked.&lt;br /&gt;Insomnia is my bitch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I randomly chose to look at my first &quot;real&quot; LJ on here and I saw where Mouse came into [true] being. The sad, skittish little thing; the one who isn&apos;t so little and hates me for it. All of the talk of food and calories that filled that journal... I see Mahree in it too but Mouse is definitely a front runner. I don&apos;t think Mahree finally &quot;took hold&quot; until a bit later, once I stopped fighting whatever it was I was trying to hard to fight. Poor girl - she&apos;s so hell bent on destruction. I wish I could help them both in the ways that I&apos;m able to help Honey or how Plat helps me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, I fear fragmenting further. I know Mahree is the one that aids in such productions. It&apos;s definitely confusing at times, these things. Mahree has aided in the building of &quot;Nico&quot;. She is the one who likes to run the show whenever Nico Clarke exists. At times, she is so different, so foreign that I&apos;m forced to wonder if it&apos;s really Mahree at all. Because, you see, Mahree is only a child. I know she&apos;s smart. I know she&apos;s got a fire to her that I don&apos;t think even I have but she&apos;s young. How can she be Nico? That doesn&apos;t seem plausible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear sounding like some daft multiplicity player more than anything. Having asknowledged how fucked up I am, the voices have become quieter while the memory lapses have become stranger. They aren&apos;t huge. I don&apos;t blink out at home and wake up at work. It&apos;s not some bullshit Sybil model of how things are supposed to be presented. It wasn&apos;t until very recently that I even had names for it all but I&apos;ve had my voices for a while. Some have been here longer than others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s strange, really, because Bex is diagnosed as having Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her cousin and his fiance both are diagnosed as such. My experiences, my stories are nothing like theirs. I&apos;m not saying I have DID and if push came down to war, I could never identify as such because they live a Lifetime movie of the week. I&apos;m just someone who has people in her head that sometimes makes it hard for me to remember stuff. It really doesn&apos;t help that I&apos;m forever faced with the idea that everything is comeplete fiction, that I&apos;ve made everything up. These people aren&apos;t real. I&apos;ve just given arbitrary names to ghosts. What happens in my life - none of it is real. Everything around me is an illusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People talk about dissociation, about slipping in and out, but I forever feel like I am a step back from myself. Sometimes the feeling is stronger and everything around me feels like a hazy dream and I&apos;m talking but it&apos;s not really me talking but someone else. I used to depersonlize all through high school but that changed when I found out about the magic that was within drugs. I was high rather than &quot;not myself&quot; so who knows what happened then? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think being so aware of what&apos;s happening in my head has caused me to shut down in some ways. If I space out, it&apos;s not just spacing out. I&apos;m constantly being bombarded with the thought that oh god, I&apos;m doing it again. Being Honey or Mahree or Plat isn&apos;t now how it was. I make the mental note that I&apos;m being &quot;different&quot; so that, for whatever reason, I&apos;ll remember it [even if I don&apos;t]. &quot;Going away&quot; for a while is no longer an option and I feel raw and stripped clean of the one thing I could rely on for comfort. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received my free copy of this lame little book I found on facebook called &quot;STOP PRAYING&quot; about a week ago. I read it. I did th fill in the blank stuff it asked of me. The whole thing was geared toward 30-something career folk with a 9-5, house, spouse, kids, and money. I get what it was saying but what it said I just had to do, I know won&apos;t ever fit into my lifestyle at the moment - a broke 24 year old part time college student who can&apos;t sleep, find time to read or exercise 30 minutes a day, or have the money to buy milk let alone fruits and vegetables. However, I am taking on this 21 day idea and trying to find away to give myself little boxes to fill. Drinking water instead of soda. Journaling at least on bi-weekly basis. Work on my house and finally get things unpacked (after 7 months) and things cleaned. Take time out after to work to meditate and reflect on where I&apos;m at in life and where I want to be. Make plans for the future and figure out how to make them happen. Little things. I should at least be making baby steps right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Physically, right now, I&apos;m hurting. It&apos;s another round of &quot;what&apos;s going on with Bri on the inside?&quot;. My lower abdomen in hurting very badly. Having a cold-like thing and needing to cough, it hurts even worse. I&apos;m waiting to find out my bits are slowly decaying. Dramatic, yes, but this has been what&apos;s up for the past seven years. I&apos;m very much over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, almost 2 hours later, I&apos;m going to try for the third time to get some sleep. I have to be at least somewhat rested for a Friday @ Panera if only because I know I have Saturday and Sunday off and I won&apos;t be wanting to do a damn thing at work. Being dead on my feet will only make things worse.</description>
