study break time, so i thought i’d sit down and write a weekend update. then i realized that my weekend blew and it wasn’t worth writing about. i mean, there were some good bits. saturday was really nice. there were some moments shared. i ate some good food. i didn’t get any work done. and i’ve been smoking again. which means i have to quit again. if i subject myself to any more self torture this week, i will probably end up eating my own face and then throwing it all up again. so a week from today (monday dec 
i will start anew. and this time, i am going to utilize the quitmeter. in the meantime, i refuse to get totally out of control and stink and have a bad taste in my mouth at school where i can’t brush my teeth, so i’m eating carrots… lots and lots of carrots. digestive system, eat your heart out.

Some people at digital city had a bit to say about Lubbock night clubs:
