I am, however, working on the essays. Here's some stuff I ended up jotting down while at work:<br /><br /><br /><br />I consumed 361% of my daily intake of iron in the time it took for me<br />to register that the time was 8:21 am; I'm wholly ferrous now.<br /><br />My sister had informed me that she began taking them to help the blue<br />under her eyes disappear because she had read a Cosmo or something<br />that said "take iron!" I didn't really believe her, though. Of course,<br />I read a male equivalent magazine where I found out that iron helps<br />with that feeling of waking up in the morning and still feeling tired,<br />even after a full sleep. "I need some iron," I thought.<br /><br />Did you know that iron is also used for blood flow? Maybe that's why<br />it felt like my heart was racing minutes after I swallowed it, but if<br />anything, my extremities should be warm this winter and not frigid<br />like a nun's twat.<br /><br />I felt incredibly old and fragile as I walked down the aisle of<br />supplements and vitamins at the local grocery store. C, B12,<br />Magnesium, all kinds of things that I didn't really know what they did<br />and if I took the time to read the box, I could've figured it out. I<br />was, however, embarassed to be in the aisle for more than 2 minutes,<br />so I was frantically looking for the iron. It got so bad that I had to<br />internally debate if it would be listed under Iron or Fe, but it<br />didn't matter since all the bottles were thrown onto the shelf with no<br />regard for categorization.<br /><br />I was determined to find it though, because if I could have one part<br />of my body not be blue, I would be fine with it.<br /><br />As a person who is uninsured, I couldn't take any risks and I knew I<br />was going to leave with them. $3.79 will get you 100 tablets. 100<br />tiny, iron-flavored breath mints. When you put a pill on your tongue,<br />there's always teh preconceived notion of how it will taste compared<br />to the last similar looking one you saw. I assumed it would be a<br />little sweet, but it was horrendously metallic, but I felt that it was<br />necessary to consume and crave. It must've been the same feeling my<br />cat had when I have caught him numerous times licking the gravel in<br />our chipped basement floor. Putting a small rug over it never helped<br />though, because in his old age, he was wise enough to move the faded<br />aged rug out of the way and back to that sweet, sweet concrete. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:raspberryheaven:1670 2008-11-09T00:42:36Z 2008-11-09T00:42:36Z I feel like I've been clogging my regular LJ with too much NaNoWriMo stuff and every once in a while I HAVE posted writing stuff here and then deleted it. So, I'm going to use this for friends and... whoever else is interested in keeping up with my writing stuff for the month. <br /><br />A lot of shit I am writing can get dirty and stuff, but honestly, I'm trying to work on something marketable, so I'm trying to find that line that I can get to. Most of what I'll be posting here are from the project I'm working on for NaNoWriMo, which is a book of essays. If it was all true, it'd be autobiography and its not. But... a number are true. :)<br /><br />Just keep in mind, the point of NaNoWriMo is to just write the 50,000 words. I don't think I can do it, but I've been trying. So, a lot of this hasn't even been edited.<br /><br />Feel free to comment on anything you want to see and on this too if you've already added me and I haven't seen it.
