This is so weird because we did writing exercises pertaining to lemons in my non-fiction class yesterday.

Also, someone anonymously picked really weird terms to describe me on Johari and I'm dying to know who it was.

last year, my friends and i went to anna maria island, fl for spring break. we wandered around the neighborhood drunk at 2am and stole lemons, limes and grapefruits from old people's houses. we all now have t-shirts that say 303.00 (the DSM IV code for alcohol intoxication) "searching for citrus".

haha, the dsm iv code makes this story very clever. how ya been?

what sucks is that you and alanna are good writers even when you're not trying to be.

I'm a lemon lover because they are good for nausea. If you are ever nauseous, put some juice on a teaspoon and swallow it and BAM, nausea will be gone.

whoa, really? this is good to know.

Yes! It doesn't help for things like food poisoning, but if you're hung over or just nauseous for some weird reason, spoonful of lemon juice squeezed from a lemon will do WONDERS. I think it's kind of like your body going "holy shit, GROSSNESS!" and slapping itself in the face.

Also another useful tip is if you burn your tongue, IMMEDIATELY sprinkle salt on it, and the burn will go away in 2 seconds. I swear to god this works, I use it all the time.

I think you should do a fruit-series.

instead of a, "there are landmines in my mouth" series?

Carrots

Carrots are fucking the earth
A permanent erection
They push deeper
into the damp and dark
All summer long
they try so hard to please
Was it good for you,
was it good?

Perhaps because the earth
won't answer they keep trying
While you stroll through the garden
thinking carrot cake,
carrots and onions in beef stew
carrot pudding with caramel sauce,
they are fucking their brains out
in the hottest part of the afternoon.

what i like to do is pour some sugar on a lemon and just eat it out of the shell.
