Good to know you're doing well! Sans the food thing. Go buy some food, you nerdface. Why do most of the people I know hate buying food? D: I love the grocery store! It's so much fun. I'll do anything to keep from eating a cheese sandwich on cinnamon bread, that just sounds gross. =P

And though I might not be the choice person, if you ever need to open up, I'm here. Bottling things up isn't good either!

I would like the store more if I didn't have to pay for things. I think my main anxiety of it comes from knowing I could easily go there and spend a ton of money on stuff I don't need (which is also why I'm not allowed in Best Buy without a giftcard or something). Seriously, if you had told me as a 5th-grader that someday I could go get donuts & milk at any time, day or night...

Also, cinnamon + cheese = tasty. Don't knock it until you've tried it. With orange juice.

Sometimes I go with only cash and no credit card to limit what I buy (though my fondness is for huge amounts of cheese that I can melt). Maybe that'll help.

By the way, we need to talk. Or more accurately, I need your input on a situation. I think the best friend doesn't like me anymore. Either that or she's just got snippy and pissy for no reason. I have a few theories, mostly on the idea of why she would suddenly decide she dislikes me. They fall into two main categories--*he* has told her good things about me and that I'll be around for a while and she'd rather it be her and not me who had a trip through Italy with him (or hell, take out him saying good things and just include that there was a trip) or --he hasn't said anything one way or the other but she is sure that I won't be around in a year and so doesn't want to bother being my friend.

So give me input. You usually look at things in a helpful fashion.

Oh... yeah. Brandon still has to learn when it's best to not take me to the grocery store, such as when we only need a few things from a list, because I generally just walk up and down every aisle, picking up things that look good. But I've found that an effective way to squelch that is to go right after a big meal, because then you aren't as hungry for things, and are less likely to pick them up. It works for me, anyway. Or going when you have a tummy ache or something; if I'm sick I can walk in and out without a problem. WalMart is another of those places... or well... any store, I guess. Except Gamestop, I have a surprising amount of resistance there.

I'm sure Brandon would try it, but I'm not a fan of cinnamon or orange juice. I just really, really hope it wasn't cinnamon raisin bread. @_@;;
