3 WEEKS WITHOUT A DRINK OF ALCOHOL


i think im gunna make it

[Alinestra Covelia]

Good work!

Whenever I feel like a drink, I boot up my favorite game and try to play it FOR SERIOUSLY. That's SERIOUSLY, like as in an adverb, it's so serious. But it makes me not need a drink. Also, food, sex, and arguably even oxygen.

I might believe you on two of those three AC...

i'm at a hotel and it says it'll charge $3 for an hour of internet then $.80 per minute after that. so i did that 3 times now. BUT it says "Please be advised that a $70 hold will be placed on your credit card for 48 hours everytime you swipe."
it didn't say that when i logged onto the computer. it just said the price of $3 and $.80. i looked at my online statement and it said i had a negative amount of money available because it had $70 taken 4 times in the past days. i realize i'll get my money back but i'm still pretty upset since i've never had negative money available. oh and i spent ~$65 at the baltimore aquarium today as well.

WHY WHY WHY!?!?!?!?!

So occasionally I get blisters on my gums and inside my mouth, usually when I'm brushing my teeth and accidentally bump the skin with the brush.

This leads to some blistering which is pretty painful and it can last for up to a week.

Fortunately I started putting hydrogen peroxide on them with a Q-tip, and they now tend to go away much faster - just a couple of days. I think the H2O2 kills off a lot of the bacteria that aggravate the wound and slow the healing.

We're having the hardwood floors refinished in our house. I am tired of smelling polyurethane. Plus, I have a head cold.

Thankfully, today they put the final coat of poly on the floor and my cold is clearly ending. Huzzah.

I can't remember if wanker and/or bollocks are censored on poly. Let's see.

I'd be down at the front desk so fast, with a copy of the doc saying $3/hour, asking where do they get off putting a $70 "hold" on my account. If your dad is there, drag him along because, sadly, teenage girls aren't taken as seriously as middle-aged doctors.

BTW: The general rule in the U.S. is that teenager's can only enter into voidable contracts [except for "necessaries, which this is not]. So tell them you're going to void the contract.

Crying also helps [for teenage girls, not for you dad]. Stand off to one side, tears flowing, saying I can't believe you guys are taking all my money! Why? Why?? Why?!? Make a public spectacle. The object is to drive away potential customers. Suddenly, your measly $70 bucks won't seems so important to the hotel.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair some time declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st
Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

"...ow'st??"

[Alinestra Covelia]

2nd person singular of "to owe".

It's called herpes simplex.

That aquarium is awesome. I went there on a couple school field trips. I remember there's this huge ramp that circles around, and we used to race down it. You're not supposed to of course, but it's so much fun.

Oh, also: "stats" spelled backwards is "stats". Discuss.

What are the chances you would ever defend someone on Apolyton fapping? in pubic?


Im not sure what fapping means, saw it in an above post by AAHZ?

Good luck with all your schooling AC, hope it pays wonderful dividends

Update: the female friend (who went to her home country with the boyfriend who has a kid and herpes) has gotten back to the US and has dumped the boyfriend who has a kid and herpes.
