well, it depends on your definition of "nothing"...

me: but i've disocvered a new diet drink of much love and adoration

Katie: what is it? diet sunkist?

me: no, that's my husband

Katie: nom nom nom

me: sierra mist free.... is my new seekrit lover

Katie: have you tried cherry coke zero yet?

me: that was only the in-the-workroom tryst, dirty quickie that got me through my last week of work

Katie: haha. it's my love. forever.

me: well, then fyi: i had a lot of alone time sucking your "love". i took his cherry... he took mine.... literal and figurative exchange. i hope you can forgive me.

Katie: sigh.

me: it meant nothing to me. you could say... it meant...zero....

Katie: =)


me: oh sierra mist. you make me think of citrus mountains!

Katie: haha

me: really, as a result of aspartame consumption, i'm probably gonna have a swiss cheese brain and like, an alien cyborg growing out of my forehead... but i'll remember the sweet times and it will be worth it.

Katie: haha. yeah. fuck living to be old...

me: but hopefully by then, i'll have loved, acted, danced, pranced, trounced, flounced, and ate my way through my golden years, so really, what's an alien cyborg and swiss cheese brain when you're a walking raisin with a weak pulse? A WORTHY SACRIFICE.

Katie: hahaha. great way to look at it.

me: by then there'll be some like, reverse pill for aspartame. of course, people said that about like, electric cars and the probability of living like the jetsons in y2k but... here we are in a gas crisis, looking to bicycles to save our commuting souls.
