JT Snow awaits you. -- email from kimi

you know how absurd it is how much sugar i eat daily? it is really crazy. i have become a junk food fiend. and wouldn't you know, it was MY MOM who pointed it out and subsequently lectured me on it. it all started because of soda. i told her i wouldn't mind it if she bought me some soda for my weekly ration of food (i know i'm a brat), and also some sour cream and onion chips, and maybe some of those cookies too. oh and i'm running out of ice cream and also hot chocolate. thaaanks mom...

it was then that she said "SODA? what's with you and soda? you never drank soda before." besides realizing the extent to which my mom really doesn't know anything about me (and my two coke minimum), i also realized she was right. i do have a serious junk food problem. i blame it mostly on my mom, who gives me copious amounts of it. i shot back at her that at least i'm drinking soda, cuz hey, it could be beer instead. it could be the six shots i took on saturday night for kimi's birthday (including three tequila shots in a row). it could be multiple $2 cosmos. it could be the incredible amount of beer i consumed two fridays ago before and during the del show on lower sproul. soda should really be the least of my mom's concerns.

but maybe i turn to junk food as solace when i can't/shouldn't have alcohol. and maybe i should be unabashed by my junk food dependency--i mean, i think aaron said it best on saturday when he said "why change a horse midstream?" but maybe you have to be drunk to understand that logic.
