rad:
I found someone else who drinks Mexican coke!
I'm going to try mixing it with rum now.

not rad:
I can't afford Mexican coke OR rum this week.

Perhaps one of the most overrated pieces of classic literarure. I think people like it because the imagery is so graphic in a very stream of consciousness sort of way, but if it's any concilation I hated it too.

Yeah I mean the stream of conscious writing is interesting, but it's nothing I haven't already read before. I think that may be just it though, I've read most of things that came after it, whereas for a lot of people it was the first of it's kind (at least that became popular, although I am speculating a bit). I mean I loved Junky, but this was just... blah. I'm happy I got Killing Yourself To Live because it's something new to read.


Also to nonsubmissivewife, Mexican coke is the only kind I can drink without breaking out with zits. I'm positive it has something to do with the fact that it's cane sugar rather than corn syrup which almost all soda companies use because it's cheaper.

If you like Dr. Pepper, you should try Dublin Dr. Pepper. It is also made with cane sugar and no corn syrup. After drinking that and Mexican coke, and can't even sip the other anymore without feeling all icky and gross inside.

Rad:
Band Practice tonight woot!
Finally turned 16
Got a new Zune!
My writing has gotten a little bit better!


Not Rad:
The band will be breaking up school do to educational obligations (college)
Still only 16
Zune missing cord
starts soon and i still have to write 2 essays read a trillion books and do my biology packet in just a few weeks! some summer.

Uh... there's still potential?

I've been to Dublin Texas not once but twice to get Dr. Pepper. We have about 5 flats left.

Well git on wit ya bad self then! :) I've never been myself, but everyonce in a while I can find it in my local grocery store or random restaurant.

sadly yes, only a very minor offense so he'll be out tomorrow, i just cant help but like him. we've been flirting etc. for more than a year now but we can't date due to...parental objections. with good reason, i mean, the guys in jail :(

We don't have Dr. Pepper in Australia anymore. Send me some? :P

I seriously couldn't cope if they took Dr Pepper away from me. At the very least i'd be writing a ton of angry letters.

you could make due with Mr. Pibb, no?

We are without that i'm afraid. You can make a pretty good alcoholic substitute with amaretto, beer and coke though.

Consider yourself lucky then, Mr. Pibb is abysmal. Does amaretto and beer really taste good? I never would've thought to combine the two.

It tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper. Every so often I'd mix the two in one of those big 1 litre Dr. Pepper bottles and bring it to school and nobody was the wiser.

no way, it tastes like garbage where I live. Dominicks sells it for like 39 cents, nobody will buy it.

Well with the coke as well you don't really taste the beer.
