I don't know if it's this INSANE weather, or what, but my internet (that's my internet, not your internet) is really slow tonight. This always makes me freaked out and paranoid that I've gotten a virus.
I don't have a virus. Right?
Also, at lunchtime today, I consumed a small amount of fake chocolate. And we all know what this means: for the last 7 hours, my body has been in frantic EJECT mode. I don't know why I continue to eat the fake chocolate.
Actually, that is a total lie. I know exactly why I continue to eat the fake chocolate: because it is the only chocolate I can have, and sometimes, you just need chocolate. Even if it will haunt you for almost 24 hours. Hey, it could be worse, right? I could be wearing the chocolate like a floatation device for the next two years. Instead I get to rid myself of it immediately, along with anything else I might have eaten in recent history.
As has been previously documented, I suffer from a severe weakness for pizza. I consider myself a paragon of virtue when I do not eat two pizzas in one sitting. Pizza is the only food that I allow myself to cheat with (excepting situations in which politeness is the rule, or when one or two french fries accidentally fall into my mouth at high speeds) but when I declare pizza day, dude, pizza day is on.
Mostly I try to eat all my pizza at once, to save myself from the hideous temptation of left over pizza. But sometimes I pretend to be a paragon of virtue and then come home from work the next day to be a total depraved idiot. Recently I did this and as I suffered a great deal of remorse, I thought....fake chocolate. If I eat the fake chocolate, all this will be gone. (See what I mean about synthetic foods breeding new and improved eating disorders?) I struggled for a few moments over this moral dilemma and then quickly ate two handfuls of fake m&m's.
Nothing happened.
Apparently, if you consume a great deal of bread and fat before eating the fake chocolate, it renders the chocolate impotent.
Good on the eating disorder front--Bad on the front in which I just ate pizza and then chocolate.

Next time you feel like a pizza binge, let's go to the Mellow Mushroom (at least the crust is whole wheat!).
I'm the same way about fake chocolate. Sometimes, before I buy a bag of fake chocolate, I stand in front of it at the store and remind myself repeatedly that the fake chocolate is only going to turn my tummy into a Ramadi-like no man's land of festering sectarian violence. Then I buy the fake chocolate. Every time.
I can't do fake chocolate. Just can't.
EJECT mode sucks and I hope you can go back to PLAY soon.
