Famine Log One

And so it's goes.


7:29pm. Watching Game Show Network. 'Cause it's highly amusing. Some girl just won a trip to Mexico. Lucky. Headache started. Chuck Woolery just walked on screen, he's everywhere nowadays.


7:56pm. Lingo is just ending. Survivor up next. Can't wait. I love it. But, I can't go five minutes without coughing. So... That's a downer. My buddy is doing the Wake-A-Thon at my school, along with my brother. ((I would have joined that, but we had already organized the famine by then.)) Apparently he's spelling things out. Randomly. Which doesn't surprise me. That's him. My parents deserted me. The house is dark. Oh noo...


8:43pm. First roadblock. Father eating dinner. In front of my face. Ah. Now the Mother's at it too. I just keep reminding myself what I'm doing this for. My motto? Sleep lots. Stay busy.


9:49pm. Watching the Food Network is NOT, and I repeat NOT, a good idea. Stupid Oreos. But I'm holding out. Lots of juice. And water. It's the plan. I can do this. Sleep lots. Stay busy. Sleep lots. Stay busy.


10:22pm. Real first craving has sunk in. And it's a bad one. Chocolate. One craving that'll kill me. My solution? Juice. I may hit the hay soon, trying to stick to the first part of my motto. This stage won't be that bad though. It'll be tomorrow after school. Because that's actually when I eat the most amount of food.


10:26pm. Antibiotic pill taken. But note, kitchen is a bad BAD place to be. You never realize it... Until you're actually in there. So many things that can totally ruin everything. I survived, and I'm avoiding the kitchen at all costs now.


10:52pm. I have been half badgered into making scones for my buddies doing the Wake-A-Thon at my school. I only say half badgered, because I kinda half have a craving to make them. Running a risk here. But I feel like being nice. So... Here I go...


11:25pm. Scones made. Will bake them tomorrow morning before school, because they only take like eight minutes. Feel like writing something. Going to now. Then I shall go to bed. If I can update tomorrow... I shall...


12:09am. Last log before I go to bed. Finished writing what I wanted to write. Only one of you will ever find out what it was. But... I'm resisting every urge to eat a piece of chocolate. It's calling my name I tell you. But... It's all good. Four hours in, and I'm not dead. I'm proud.



Off to sleep buds.
I'll try and keep you posted on tomorrow.
Bye!

30 Hour Famine

So. I'm incredibly sorry. For saying I was going to update. And then totally leaving. But shit raised. And I had to leave. My head was going to explode.

But I'm back. With something totally new.

So... My friend organized for a few friends and us to do a 30 Hour Famine in support of children living in third world countries, who don't have the large amounts of variety and resources of food that we do, here in North America.

Starting at 7:00pm Thursday night we stop eating, our famine will then stop at 1:00am Saturday morning.

In the past three hours, I have consumed monstrous amounts of food.
Including:
- A bowl of pasta and meatballs
- A banana
- Four waffles
- Eight to ten pieces of thick, fat man bacon ((And I mean... My father must have been not right in the head when he bought it. It's like HEFTY bacon. Kinda scary...))
- Two bowls of cereal
- Assorted cookies
And up to the last minutes of my allowed eating time, a stuffed my face with some lovely salad my mother made me, before they all left. My family that is.

Along with all this. I am currently sick with allergies/sinus stuff. So I'm basically fully medicated as well. So... It'll be interesting.

We are only allowed to consume water and juice. Tomorrow at lunch, my bud whose running this will have white rice if we are dying. ((Though I'm going to try and avoid it because a) I wanna get the full famine effect and b) it'll just make me hungry))

Please, send your support. I would love to hear your opinions on it.
Also, I'm contemplating making a shirt with some slogan on it, so I can wear it to school tomorrow. If you have any idea. Let's hear 'em.

Thanks very much.
I'll probably post with updates at major point in the whole thing.
