- nothing tastes as good as being thin feels -

4 signs I might be anorexic:

• Number of meals last week that weren't cereal, protein shakes or protein bars: 4.
• I ran into an old friend for the first time in almost a year and he said my face was "much more chiseled than before" -- which I suppose is a polite way of saying "you look like a fucking skeletor!"
• I can *see* my bone structure. No joke.
• I now weigh 112 lbs.

I've been trying out LJ for a while now. It's a private/anonymous journal, but if you're clever enough, you should be able to figure out the title (which may or may not become googlable). Wanna take a shot at it? A correct response will get you the URL plus an all expense paid trip to the coffee house of your choice.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

- last dance with mary-jane -

3 interesting things I've learned from Eric Schlosser's Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market so far:

• Marijuana is one of the few therapeutically active substances for which there is no well-defined fatal dose. It has been estimated that a person would have to smoke a hundred pound of marijuana a minute for fifteen minutes in order to induce a lethal response.
• Eleven years and four months in prison is the typical punishment for an American found guilty of murder.
• The strawberry is one of the most labor-intensive row crops. It's risky and expensive to grow, but it can yield more revenue per acre than virtually any other crop except marijuana.

Lionel Hutz: Care to join me in a belt of Scotch?
Marge Simpson: But it's 9:30 in the morning!
Lionel Hutz: Yeah, but I haven't slept in days.
