same habit, new skin.


i'm so glad i never took up smoking. i clearly have an addictive personality, i just need to learn to embrace it.

It's magical, isn't it?

I finally found the non-diet version. I can't wait to try it. This has to be just about the best diet drink ever.

compulsory is the wrong word here.

obsessive compulsive is someone who is compelled by an obsession.

compulsory means required.

you're totally right.
though i was confused, thinking this in my head:
com·pul·sion P Pronunciation Key (km-plshn)
n.
The act of compelling.
The state of being compelled.
An irresistible impulse to act, regardless of the rationality of the motivation: “The compulsion to protect the powerful from the discomfort of public disclosure feeds further abuse and neglect” (Boston Globe).

i know
but compulsory is an entirely different word.

it reminds me of when kurt loder was talking to jewel about how she used casualty in a poem
when she meant "casualness."
and she was arguing with him about it

LODER: There's a line you have,
'There are nightmares on the sidewalks/there are jokes on TV/ there are people selling thoughtlessness with such casualty.'
Casualty doesn't mean that, does it? Casualty's like a guy gets his arm blown off. I mean isn't that...
JEWEL: That's a type of casualty.
LODER: What?
JEWEL: It's a type of casualty that ...
LODER: No, really. I thought you were trying to say casualness.
JEWEL: No, casualty.
LODER: Oh, OK. All right. Are you a tech person? Do you take computers on the road, do you log on, e-mail?
JEWEL: No, I'm a bit archaic. I mean, I still write everything by hand. It's quite archaic.
LODER: Wow.
JEWEL: It is wow. I'm dyslexic as heck. I mean, I just can't type well.
LODER: Really? That'd be a problem for a writer.
JEWEL: It is a bit of problem. I mean, putting the book together. Everything was done by hand. I had to recopy it legibly to get it...
LODER: That explains casualty probably.


this doesn't put the part in where she says "NEXT QUESTION really rudely to kurt after "no casualty"

yeah.
i always think of this when people use the wrong word entirely
and try to keep myself from doing so by frequent use of the dictionary.com website.
other people prefer m-w.com but it's habit for me to check dictionary.com

i drank that recently just to see and they didn't have diet cherry coke, and it just tasted like a weird cream soda.

I am saddened I did not enjoy.

I'm madly obsessed with diet cherry coke. Diet wild pepsi is not the same, nor is diet cheerwine.

Is it really that good?

I drink my body weight in diet coke on a regular basis.... something about the berries and cream seems weird. But if it's actually tasty, I might have to try it.

DIET COKE was my old skin.
this tastes, to me, like creme soda dr pepper. i don't taste any berry, and certainly not raspberry [not one of my favorite flavors].

get it from 7-11 where you can just try ONE...see what you think :)
