a sick mind

i was in the clinic just now, waiting for mayme to finish her interminable "asthma counseling" session with this afternoon's participant. the waiting room has a tv, which is always turned to either CNN headline news (yay!) or ABC family (boo!). today's ABC family programming was step by step. suzanne somers had taken a break from hocking silicone bakeware on QVC long enough to tape an episode, and her character was addicted to diet pills.

right after playing back in my mind the scene from saved by the bell where jessie spanno is addicted to similar diet pills, i thought to myself, hmm. diet pills. interesting. i wonder what those feel like when you take them. i wonder what they'd do to my body. would i have lots of energy? would anyone notice? i wonder if the diet pills would interact with my crohn's disease. maybe i should get myself an addiction to diet pills since i seem to have kicked every other bad habit.

do normal people feel like they're not really living unless they're working on a healthy addiction? i guess it's just me and suzanne somers.
