  • i will sometimes lay in bed for hours and hours, waiting for the sunlight, daydreaming [nightdreaming?] about all the different types of food i want. for some reason the one i crave most often is chinese food. rice and hot and sour soup and potstickers and beef with broccoli and garlic sauce ... man. oddly enough, when it's daytime and i could actually get the stuff, it doesn't sound nearly as good. weird, huh?
