ME. (obviously).

BUT SERIOUSLY, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS SCENE IS GOING.

ETA: I suppose it doesn't help that I'm hungry.

ugh... i'm getting more nervous about this huge group dinner tonight.

But good news is i'm almost done re-writing/editing The Holiday Hacker.

Sadly the more hard areas to edit/re-write are coming up shortly. I'm still worried the rape and characters reactions to it arent right.....GRRRRRRR!

Oh gosh, don't mention food. I have nothing to eat today and I'm desperately hoping my mom will get my email and bring me something.

To quote my favorite author, Sarah Rees Brennan:

We’re told how we should look (and how we should never feel good about it) and what our attitude to food should be (I’m going to be bad and eat this—as if eating cake was kicking a puppy).

Although, fasting one day doesn't undo what you did the day before.

But I have two hours of gym ahead of me, which means I actually NEED food.

Haha. Hahaha.

See this?

What do you think that is? Ice cream?

That is chicken nugget before it's cooked.

Oh, they taste great. It's just gross.

Someone figured out in the 1960s that meat processors can eek out a few more percent of profit from chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows by scraping the bones 100% clean of meat. This is done by machines, not humans, by passing bones leftover after the initial cutting through a high pressure sieve. The paste you see in the picture above is the result.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't eat them, just means... it's gross.

:ROFL:

Plenty of awesome things are gross. Like, lipstick has fish scales and marshmellows have cow bones. I still love both. But it's gross.

It's tempting to end this scene where it is. It's awful!

DID YOU CRY AT GLEE? I nearly did.

ETA: Deleted the other scene. Now to get to 4K again... with Glee on YouTube. Probably not a good idea, but yeah...
