Well, that was enlightening. I guess my case is more serious than I chalked it up to be, huh? And what I was speaking of before--the not wanting to say what it was that I did? Yeah, I was purging. It didn't last for even a week because it got so out of control, I didn't even know I was myself anymore. I did have swollen glands and a huuuuge ulcer in the back of my throat. Eating and swolling anything, including liquids, was difficult for over a week. Yep, so there's my secret. I'd go more into it if I wasn't so hyped up on sugar. Yay for not being able to think and being hyper by eating lots of sugary things like Sweethearts TARTS!!!!

Okay, I seriously have to type my story up. It's been over a year. It NEEDS to be done!!!

P.S. Johnny Cash's song The Beast In Me. I. Love. It. Yep, I said it. I love that song, just like his version of Hurt from Nine Inch Nails. Which, by the way, I'm still mourning the loss of not being able to go to the With Teeth concert next month. Damn ticket stealers!! *shakes fist* I'll get you one day. ONE DAY!!!

Okay, I seriously need to chill out...ORRRRR...eat more sugary things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
