OH YEAH

I think a weeklong gap is the longest I've gone without updating cloud_glow. Yes, it really had been a week. I know, I know, it was hard. But, it's all better now. Stop crying.

Something I've learned in the past week?

Chugging a quart of saltwater is REALLY HARD TO DO.

hunh? good refreshing drink... very very healthy for your soma... did you do it?

[cloud_glow]

yeah.

three times now!

I actually just measured it incredibly wrong and spent the past half hour with my head in a toilet, puking up three pints of salty bile.

[it_lingers]

and what is the point of this?

[cloud_glow]

cleansing!

[haughty_melodic]

Eeesh...I can't even do a saltwater rinse type thing. That's intense.

[cloud_glow]

So intense that I measured wrong and puked for

long than I'd like to admit.

Atleast I ended up "cleansing" out some of the bread/peanut butter i ate right before. x_x y'know, lookin' at the brighter side. ah ha ha.

Maybe it's so hard because it's a completely unnatural thing to do.

"Take a lot of salt into your body and your metabolism very quickly goes into crisis. From every cell, water molecules rush off like so many voluntary firemen to try to dilute and carry off the sudden intake of salt. This leaves the cells dangerously short of the water they need to carry out their normal functions. They become, in a word, dehydrated. In extreme situations, dehydration will lead to seizures, unconsciousness, and brain damage. Meanwhile, the overworked blood cells carry the salt to the kidneys, which eventually become overwhelmed and shut down. Without functioning kidneys you die. That is why we don't drink
saltwater."

Hahaha

I wasn't drinking it, I was chugging it. It flushes right through your body, without given a real chance to be absorbed.
