thistlechaserI don't know if it was because I was having just an awful day, or because I was dehydrated (drank less than a third of what I should have today -- was having such a bad day I couldn't make myself care enough to), or because ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elo_sf posted about drinks with empty calories, but darned if I didn't want a Slurpee. Drinking a Slurpee would be really, really bad. Pure sugar, and a whole lot of it. A ton of utterly empty calories. But I want one so badly. I didn't want a shake. I didn't want a soda. I wanted a cold, sweet, icy drink.
I pulled into the 7-11 parking lot lying to myself. I said I'd "just go in and look". Really, I actually said that to myself. I went in, and wonder of wonders, one of the flavors was Crystal Light Strawberry-Banana. Strawberry-banana would not have been my first choice, but Crystal Light! I was saved! I got a big one and boy did it make my day better. A full-sugar one would have just left me depressed and angry at myself all night, but this one was mostly guilt-free! (I know artificial sweeteners aren't good for you, and they do still mess up your body's handling of food, but they're a whole lot better for me than a full-sugar drink would have been!)
I may just go and get another one tomorrow. Such a big, long-lasting treat! It took me two hours to drink the whole thing!
RP: Oh my god, second time saved today! RP IS BACK IN SILVERMOON CITY. So happy! I went there tonight and it was like the old days: I couldn't walk two feet without tripping over a scene! HAPPY. No more endless hours of hateful archaeology to fill my time, I can have fun!
I was so very amused at the first scene I got into. Backstory: My character (Keen) had a "drug" (fel, magic) problem. He spent months getting off it, aided by a very controlling paladin with way too many rules for Keen's liking. Of course they were rules with a purpose. Example: Keen wasn't supposed to go back to his old haunts (namely: SMC).
Tonight Keen broke the rule, went to SMC, and the very first person he met there was a "half-felblood" person. That's what they had listed as their race, ha ha! The person had so much fel in them that it changed their race? :P Lore issues aside, I did enjoy the scene quite a bit. Person was a WoW-average RPer -- not great, but not so awful I wanted to run away and never come back.
He wants to RP with Keen again, and I'm OOCly open to that, but I just worry lots... Keen going back to fel would ruin his life, but... look at RL me. I couldn't even resist a darned Slurpee. Ha. Maybe Keen needs sugarfree fel? :P
