The icon should clue you in that this is a ten-minute homework-fleeing LJ break - the second one this afternoon! Clearly I am unproductive.

Also, every. Single. Damn. Vending machine on this ENTIRE CAMPUS is sold out of Diet Mountain Dew. Every single one.

I CAN'T WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. How am I supposed to get anything done if I'm improperly caffeinated? What do you expect of me?

Before you ask, no, Diet Coke is not an option, because the dark syrup in Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi erodes your bone calcium. This Public Service Announcement brought to you by the Everything Gives You Cancer and/or Kills You Foundation.

Actually, I think I need to make an icon of that. LiveJournal: Because sunlight gives you cancer.

I still haven't grocery-shopped, vaccuumed, started packing for fall break which is next weekend wtf, or really done any other useful this. Except catch "The Sound of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords" when I should have been working yesterday.

Which, of course, means that I've now had Rouge Trader's "Voodoo Child" stuck in my head all damn day. Thank you, Russel T Davies. Thank you so BLOODY much.

My thoughts on TSoD/LoTTL coming with the other episode reviews in the unlikely event that I get any of my other crap done on time.

On another note, Mommy sent me health food. For this I am grateful.

My schedule today:

11am: Woke up.
11-12:30: puttered
12:30-2pm: lunch
2-5:45: nap
5:45-6:45: dinner
7-1am: RPG.

SO AT LEAST YOU ARE BEING PRODUCTIVE. THAT IS MY POINT. MY OTHER POINT IS THAT PUPPIES ARE GREAT.

(although technically during my nap I was working on my creative writing portfolio, albeit on a scene which will probably not make it into the story.)

PUPPIES REALLY ARE VERY GREAT. THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT YOU MADE THERE.

I like your schedule better. I believe this may be my Saturday day plan from now on.

[link] [parent] [reply]

It's an awesome schedule, for cert. Especially since the remainder of it is going so be something like,

1am-2am: Outpost
2am-3am: Putter
3am-11am: sleep.

Not so great during midterm season, though. :/

But how can you possibly be expected to complete your exams without adequate puttering time? :O

I KNO, RITE?

Puttering isn't the problem. 'Tis the napping and RP-ing that my studiousness runs afoul of. >>

Yeah, I suppose you could study whilst you putter. Hard to do that while sleeping.

Or while RP-ing.

O HAI I GET A LEVEL 5 FOLLOWER NAO!! that will likely make no sense to you.

::SIGH:: I think this day is just a loss as far as studying for midterms goes. :(

although there is some reading that must be done by 1pm tomorrow for the class discussion I'm leading with a partner on Tuesday. >>

Yep. Right over my head, I'm afraid.

Also, if the discussion isn't until Tuesday, why do you need the discussion done by tomorrow?

I'm meeting with my partner to discuss it at 1 tomorrow, so we can figure out how to incorporate it into the lesson plan. :/ We were supposed to meet at 3 today, but she was sick. Which of course meant that I didn't do the reading.

Don't you love it when it works out that way? :)

Also, every. Single. Damn. Vending machine on this ENTIRE CAMPUS is sold out of Diet Mountain Dew.
Wow - considering how many vending machines there are on MY campus, that's...kind of an impressive feat. (Admittedly more impressive when I'm not suffering because of it)

One bottle of Diet Coke will not erode your bone calcium, at least not in any significant and/or permanent way, especially not if you have milk later. According to my Nutrition prof. (I've decided his word supercedes that of my old chemistry teacher ~~because it supports my habit~~)

I do very much like your proposed icon, though. =D

Alas, with tiny campuses come a lack of vending machines. And a special lack of vending machines that are not hidden in basements or behind staircases or some damn thing.

And I know one bottle won't hurt me, but as I was until 2 years ago a raging Diet Coke addict and was up to 2-3 cans a day, I've been trying to break myself rather forcefully of this habit, and the availability of Diet Mountain Dew makes that much, much easier.

I temporarily cured my habit last year, when I could use points from my meal plan to buy bottles of raspberry-flavored sparkling water, but as far as I know they don't sell that kind of thing in bulk (i.e. cans). And lemon-lime sodas don't give me the same bite; they always taste too syrupy-sweet. I have since decided that I shall worry about my bones when it becomes a more pressing concern than whichever paper is due next.

Um. Your plan is a lot healthier. Stick to that. *thumbs up*

And speaking of that addiction, as well as things being sold out of vending machines, you would think that the machine in an all-girls' dorm building would have 2 sections for Diet Coke and 1 for regular...not the other way around. -.-

You'd think, given how everyone's in perpetual diet mode. I think the vending machine in the library at my school has two buttons for Diet Coke and two for Diet Mountain Dew, but it's the only one I've ever seen so far that had that.

I've had the same problem with lemon-lime sodas myself, especially the diet versions of them. I tried Sprite Zero for the first time a few months back; it tasted like liquid Gummi Bears, which is not what I look for in a soda.

And I think we have flavoring packets or some such thing that you can add to water at my school cafeteria, but I haven't tried them yet. That might be a slightly better plan that pouring all this caffeine into my system day in and day out...

*squee!* Please to be making that icon, so I can steal it? Please?

Ahhhh...you've finally explained the whole diet sodas/calcium thing. I thought it was *all* of them, since I drink SpriteZero whenever I can get it.

It's amazing how many times I hear about my *Coke* Zero habit. I drink maybe four a week, when I can get 'em. Heh. As a jobsite manager, I'm in my badass demolition gear and this wank of an electrician comes up to me and *begs* me to put down the Zero, because he's sure my little lady-like bones will all crunch to nothing *right that moment.* Heh. Okay, he meant well, and I do make sure to take extra calcium now. I was just shocked at how freaked he was. LOL!

*bows* I shall get on that by Monday, when the workload has lightened just a tic.

I used to think it was all sodas too, which worried me because I'm a raging caffeine junkie, but apparently it's just the dye in colas that screws with bone calcium. Hence, non-colas are the solution to everything.

O___o Wow. That seems a bit of an overreaction - mostly, I just hear about the colas causing osteoperosis or bone complications down the line, not turning your skeleton to paper right this very second. And the thing is, after drinking Diet for upwards of three years, Coke Zero tastes really funky to me now - because it tastes like regular Coke. So 'tis aspartame for me. XD

COKE ZERO DOES NOT TASTE LIKE NORMAL COKE AT ALL. THAT IS A GROSS MISCONCEPTION.

EMPHASIS ON 'GROSS.'

WORSHIP THE ONE TRUE COKE. ELIMINATE ALL IMPOSTERS.

IT TASTES LIKE NORMAL COKE TO ME.

PAHAHA. I BOW TO THE ARTIFICIALLY-SWEETENED FALSE GOD OF DIET. ALSO, I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO XENU.

WELL OK FINE YOU CAN DRINK DIET AS LONG AS YOU DON'T PRETEND IT TASTES THE SAME.

NOW, DID YOU COMPARE COKE ZERO WITH REAL COKE, OR WITH DIET COKE? PERHAPS *NONE* OF THE THREE TASTE ALIKE.

I DO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED AND SENSITIVE COKELY TASTE BUDS.

NO NO IT'S JUST COKE ZERO THAT TASTES LIKE REGULAR. THE SPLENDA AND ALL THAT. DIET COKE IS SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. YOUR COKELY TASTE BUDS HAVE NOT DECIEVED YOU.

WHY ARE WE CAPSLOCKING I DON'T REALLY KNOW.

NUH UH COKE ZERO DOES NOT TASTE LIKE REGULAR COKE. COKE ZERO TASTES LIKE ASS.

DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE. I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

WE R CAPSLOCKING BECUZ COKE IZ SRS BIZNESS.

MAYBE I MOVED. OR TURNED INVISIBLE. HOW ABOUT THAT THEN?

COKE R VERY SRS BIZNESS. FAR MORE SRS THAN PEPSI ON ACCOUNT OF THERE BEING NO PEPSI ZERO.

YOU DID NOT MOVE OR BECOME INVISIBLE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I STOMPED RIGHT ON OVER THERE AFTER I READ THIS AND YOU ANSWERED THE DOOR VERY VISIBLY. YOU WERE UTTERLY OPAQUE. NOT EVEN A HINT OF TRANSPARENCY. AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY PACKING BOXES.

HERE'S IS WHAT WAS SAID, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LURKERS:

Kayliesaur: Two points. One, you have not moved, nor are you invisible.

Muppet: Well, I need a little more time to become invisible!

Kayliesaur: Irrelevant. Two, Coke is not more serious than Pepsi because there is no Pepsi Zero. Coke is more serious than Pepsi because Coke is intrinsically better than Pepsi.

Muppet: But... they kinda taste the same....

Kayliesaur: BLASPHEMY. COKE IS BETTER. I WILL SMACK A MUPPET.

Muppet: ....

Kayliesaur: THIS IS WHERE YOU SAY 'YES, KAYLIE' AND BOW TO MY SUPERIOR WISDOM.

Muppet: Yes, Kaylie. ::bows::

Kayliesaur: You have learned much today. In summary--

Coke ≠ Pepsi
Coke > Pepsi
ass > Pepsi

WELL, OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN'T SEE ANY BOXES BECAUSE THE BOXES WERE INVISIBLE. OBVIOUSLY. I NEEDED PRACTICE BEFORE I WENT TO FULL-SCALE TRANSPARENCY.

I like to think I put up more of a fight before I accepted you as lord and master of all things Cokely. Even though I probably didn't, and am entirely fabricating memories of the epic debate that ensued.

WELL HOW COME I DIDN'T TRIP OVER ANY OF THOSE BOXES WHEN I WAS WALKING AROUND INSIDE YOUR ROOM, HUH?? HUH??? DO NOT LIE TO ME, MUPPET. I TOOK PUPPETRY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I KNOW HOW IT WORKS.

There *was* a wee debate, but it generally did little but emphasize your inadequate tasting abilities. I was hoping to spare you the public humiliation.

Yea, I like diet coke, especially flavoured diet coke, ( i.e. vanilla, cherry, and so forth). What kinda of health food did your mom bring you?

Well there has been rumours about diet coke or diet sodas make people crave carbs or hungry. In a lot of diets , you're not suppose to have diet sodas. I heard about the cancer rant about diet sodas, isn't it because of aspatane ( or however you spell it).

yea, every friday, I am suppose to be clean, gag, still suppose to clean that sink and toilet, crap

Eh. I've never been able to do flavored sodas of any variety - they all taste syruppy and cloying and odd to me. But to each their own.

They thought aspartame might cause cancer at first. But they tested it, and the levels of aspartame needed to induce cancer were huge - to the point where you'd basically need an aspartame IV drip for it to have any effect on you. The carcinogenic levels were way higher than anything you could get from normal drinking habits.

She brought me apples in a box, along with cheese. Much healthier than the chocolate. XD
