Day Twenty Three

something you crave a lot

Food is my weakness. I don't drink alcohol, smoke, do drugs, gamble or have any other addictions apart from food. When it comes to food I have no control over myself what-so-ever, this may explain why I am a much larger size than I would like to be. 

Once I get it in my head that I feel like eating something I will obsess about it until I eat that thing. My most common weaknesses/cravings are chips (in a packet or hot) with lots of salt, brie cheese and chocolate (at a certain time of the month). 

Chips is the worst, I have been a chip addict since I was little. At the moment Kettle Salted are my favourite as they are really really salty, followed closely by Red Rock Deli Sweet Chilli and Sour Cream. I also occassionally have cravings for some old school favourites like Twisties (cheese or chicken), Burger Rings or Cheezels. Once I start a packet I struggle to stop myself from eating the whole thing and have been known to make myself feel sick.

I have also recently developed a craving for Salted Slightly Sweet Popcorn. It is not as sweet as caramel popcorn and is still a little bit salty.

Sometimes I wish I was an alcoholic instead

now you're just somebody that i used to know

this song by gotye (good thing this is typed or i'd still be stumbling over the pronunciation... goat-ee-ay... gotcha...goat-yee...) is one of my favourites at the moment and is on constant rotation at my house and in my car. the song is about two ex lovers but has gotten me thinking about all those people that were once an intrinsic part of my life, helped me to define who i was and my place in the world and are now just some people that i used to know. we all have them. those people that we thought we would be friends with forever, that we talked to every day, hung out with all the time, people who knew all our in jokes because they helped create them, knew all the stories of our past. then suddenly you wake up one day and realise its been a month since you saw them, then its six months, then you can't remember the last time you saw them. you think about calling them but it feels awkward, then you tell yourself that they could call you if they wanted to. time passes and the...

I don't want to be that weird, creepy girl

Sometimes I meet people and I know instantly that they are awesome! They laugh at the same things I laugh at, they share similar views to me on things, they are clever, sassy and generally pretty neato (I'm mostly talking about other ladies here), and I think to myself, you're pretty fantastic and I would love to have you as my friend and do stuff with you and hang out and talk about life and love and stupid things we've done. Then comes the kicker. How, as a thirty something grown woman, do you ask another grown woman over for a play date or out for dinner, without seeming like a weirdo / lesbian / desperate / friendless / loser? It's much easier for kids to make new friends, they just say stuff like "I like He-Man and you like He-Man and I think that makes you totally the best and we should be best friends forever until we're like, old and wrinkly and  our butts sag" then they piss themselves laughing and the friendship is cemented. But that just doesn...

Unsent Letter: Dear Broken Little Girl

Dear Broken Little Girl You've got the world fooled. With your masks and your costumes. With the illusion you have created. I'm not fooled anymore, I see who you truly are. I see the little girl terrified of revealing any weakness or cracks. The little girl who uses people for what they can do for her and then casts them aside until she needs them once more. I used to look at you and think you were so much more than me, that I was so much less. Now I realise that you will never be as much as me. Not until you are willing to be wrong, to be imperfect, to be fragile and vulnerable and human. Anybody can do what you do, yet you doubt my ability. You think you are so grown up and in control, but you're not. Everything you stand against, you have been. Everything you fight for, you've never endured. You are an empty shadow trying to fill yourself up at the expense of others. You once told me that I should learn to put myself first and say no. Well I've learnt. I...
