What keeps me going: Salt and Vinegar Rice Cakes


I used to avoid salt and vinegar. I used to dislike ginger beer too. Look at that though, here I am, eating these salt and vinegar things and waiting for my ginger beer to cool in the fridge. That says a lot, seeing that I don't drink the fizzy stuff often. It's not that common.

So I've tried out the 8-4 'thing'. I lasted about a day... well... exactly a day. I've modified it a bit. It's looking like 8.30 is a good time to start work but I think I will change it after next week to 9am, because I can. What a rough week. Work was good, but it seems I have had all the symptoms of an allergic reaction to something and I spent my first two days on the job swelling and itching all over. I still don't know what that was about.

Anyways, following quite a few weeks of comfort feeding my way out of every situation I am finally snacking again on some things that I wont regret later, like these rice cakes.

There's these Salt n Vinegar flavour rice cakes in the supermarket these days. I don't care which one. They take the edge off that comfort feeding and that urge to seek out endorphines, every whichever. I know it's working because I still have stacks of chocolate in my room from Mother's Day... whenever that was and I went all out on those things for two days. Those were big weeks.

I find these things delightful because I laugh at the way I analyse them. Y'see they have the flavour on the top of the cake but my tastebuds are on my tongue, just like everyone else. If I eat them up-side-down (flavour side down) I make more mess than usual. I eat these things all the time but I can't help but wonder... how does everyone else eat these things?

I mix it up. I eat them up-side-down, flavour side up and then when I'm thinking about stuff sometimes I lick the rice cake, then eat it. None of them seem right.

Why do I have to be so weird? Poor puppy.

It keeps me going though.

You just got inside my head.

It's better looking in and wondering than really knowing what it's like, isn't it? Now you know that.

*crunch*.

Thinking tonight. Im thirsty....
