Can you tie a cherry stem with only your tongue?
Nope...my tongue ring would probably complicate it. I saw that episode of "Friends" though.

How can you stand taking laxatives? And by choice too! My God, whenever I have to take them, I can barely sleep at night cause of the cramps! How do you deal?
Well, I kinda do need them. My stomach is pretty fucked up. But sometimes I take more and more often than I should. As for the cramps...well...that's the shaft.

Wow, I just checked out your pics and you're gorgeous! I think you look immaculate just the way you are :o)
Thanks, that's extremely nice of you. I don't feel the same way though, I think I'm hardcore ugly and gross.

I just read your diary, and I cannot believe you are contemplating suicide...you speak of having pen pals around the world, and though you may feel you're not affecting anyone's life but your own with this choice, I believe it would touch many more peoples' lives than you could ever imagine...perhaps you should reconsider...?
Thanks for caring. My position on wether or not I'm gonna kill myself sooner or later changes pretty often, and right now I'm not too eager to do it, there's some things I have to accomplish first. And of course whenever I start thinking about what my commiting suicide would do to my family (namely my mom bc I care about her the most, but I bet my dad would care too...and my brothers) and friends and all...it makes me feel TOO guilty and I feel as though I should carry on living and "suffering" just so I don't have to do that to them...that really makes me wish I'd die in an accident or something bc at least I wouldn't be to blame...but I guess I should feel horrible and selfish about wishing I'd die so...I don't know.

...You do realize that models look exactly like us in real life, don't you?
I don't -really- want to look like a model, I want to be skeletal (well actually some models are). They just inspire me bc anyone that's thin or thinner than I am inspires me. Models don't get me on a "high" like some other thin people do. And not all models look anorexic.

what kind of stuff (apart from Harry Potter!) do you like ot read?
Well, when I was younger I loved Baby Sitters Club and Sweet Valley series...now I just read stuff I've heard about from friends. Books I've read and liked recently: "Where the heart is" by Billie Letts, "The Virgin Suicides" by Jeffrey Eugenedis (interesting plot although lacking emotion), "Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain (loved it!), "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton (loooved it)...I also love "The Little Prince"...I want to read "Lord of thee rings". I like reading...especially fantasy books.

oohoo 0 cals yes i shall drink away :P ta
=)

how come you are so damn cool?
I'm only cool by association bc I know YOU :p

you really are very very pretty. dont be so hard on yourself --->that is the most stoopid thing to saycos youre not gonna listen to me anyway...oh well i try
Thanks...that's too nice of you.

oh yeh, i forgot to ask, what height are you?
*sticks out lower lip* ...I'm 5'4.

i was wondering if you consider yourself anorexic...or just smart, and trying to stay healthy...thats how i percieve you. and also, for ana's song...do you think that it was a song about his anorexia? or about obsessions in general? i have always thought of it as obsessions in general. because the girl in the video tears at her palms, and washes them constantly...its an obsession that people have...and i was wondering what your views on that song are. (Samantha, Chicago, Il. 15b years old)
I don't consider myself anorexic...I'm not. Maybe when I'm 85 lbs I will consider myself one...if I look it. I'm not going for the "healthy" thin look. Being extremely underweight and having no health problems would be peachy, I guess. But I put my desire to be thin before my health, I don't care what happens to me as long as I'm thin, and that's why I've stunted my growth (I do regret this) and messed up my teeth (this too kinda). My metabolism is SUPER fucked up, so is my digestion...etc

Regarding "Ana's Song": Daniel's said it about about "eating disorders"...but mainly focused on anorexia. And I can see that clearly in the song and video...I'm terrible at analysing things, if you want REALLY good interpretations of songs and silverchair in general, go to The silverchair Philosophy. But the thing about the hands...well, what I've read about that and makes sense to me, is that it's not really about being obsessed with being clean. Although being skinny makes you feel clean and pristine and pure. It's sort of representing anorexia because the girl sees something that isn't there. Her hands aren't really covered in dirt, that's only the way she sees it (and that's why her hands are only dirty in the mirror). And with anorexia, people see all this fault in themselves, and bad things, and fat, but it's all in their heads...do you get it?

And just to clear this up...I do hate everything about myself and can find millions of faults and bad things. But they're all real. I'm not anorexic...I'm just a bad person.

Dude, coz you keep posting pics of Taylor I have decided he is WAY hot. He's 4 years younger than me though. Do you think he'd go for an older woman!? Hehehe.......
Isn't he just beautiful? *g* Yes, I think he would go for an older woman... ; )

Do you know that I care about you very much? =)
alena
Awww...me too! :D

Someone asked me about the diet I was currently following (today is May 6th) but I seem to have deleted the message. So here's a reply to that person
I'm doing the cabbage soup diet. It goes like this:

Soup: 6 onions, 2 green peppers, 1 celery stick, 1 large lettuce, 2 chicken soup cubes, 2 brouillon cubes. Cut up the veggies in small pieces. Cover them with water, put in the soup cubes. Cook at low flame untill the veggies are soft. Eat it every day, as much as you want.

Day 1: Fruits (except banana)
Day 2: Veggies
Day 3: Fruits and Veggies
Day 4: Bananas (no more than 8) and skim milk
Day 5: Beef and tomatoes (no more than 6)
Day 6: Beef and veggies
Day 7: Brown rice, fruit or veggie juice

You can have unlimited amounts of soup and unlimited amounts of the specified foods for each day. You are only supposed to drink water, but I've drank coke (my friends lost while still drinking coke) and coffee (you aren't supposed to, but I've had some once in a while...mostly decaf). That's about it.

ah, ive heard of this diet. i knew id seen it somewhere...is it anyway effective at all?
Yes, it's very effective.

do you have a link to your diary?
Yes, it's http://ana.diaryland.com

hey chrissy whatever happened to "Candy of the day." I understand you were a sister site, do you know what's up with the site, or the webmistress, Lara?
I heard COTD got hacked so she gave up, but last I knew she had a website at this addy: http://truelypink.issweet.net/, so you may find her there...

em...just...did you know that you rock???
Thanks...I don't think so though.

got advice for ya..just tell your mom you're going vegeterian. Being vegeterian isn't starving. But do eat a healthy diet, chrissy.
I tried that...I was actually veggie for a while, but then I had to stop because she was crying all the time about how I wasn't eating right and I was gonna grow up to be sick and all this bullshit...

pssh, my mum wont let me do it anyway (the diet) and she wont let me go veggie dam her...em...i know i had a question here but...its gone...yeh...
Moms suck :(

imaginary numbers??..hah I'm doing that too..it's pretty easy..for once..hah
Lucky...it's not easy to me :(

hey, I noticed you were looking for anorexia pictures. last week I came accross some awful pro-anorexia web sites and I didn't want to write this in your gbook because I just don't want to encourage people to get ana and all. I mean those web sites were pretty bad... One of them has a LOT Of pictures just go through them and you'll find them:

http://www.oocities.org/lisou33/
http://www.oocities.org/fragileperfection/
http://www.oocities.org/anorexic2001/

They're all on geocities,, maybe geocities should do something about it dont'you think?
well, good luck to your sister and you on your speach of course :)
Marijke @ http://www.thedutchgirl.com
Ouch...I think I didn't really make myself clear in that diary entry. I'm not the one who wrote that, that was something a girl posted on the Hanson.net forums, and the website she was talking about is mine. But thank you anyways.

do you regret that you have chosen the ciencias class? bc of all the physics stuff you dont seem to like that much carla
Yes and no...in the academic aspect, I think I do. But almost all my friends are in Ciencias, and I don't really like most of the crowd in Letras...the stuff they do is kinda boring too. So I don't know. I actually wish my school were just normal and they wouldn't make you pick...it's so stupid.

U R ONE SICK FUCK! GO THINK ABOUT UR LIFE! I FEEL DEEPLY SORRY 4 U!
Uh, ok. I don't really have an answer to this one.

i don't know if you want to tell me, but i have a few html questions
1) about how long do you keep a layout before you make a new one (yeah this isn't html, i was just curious)?
2) how do you make those screen caps?
3) how do you make thumbnails?
Sure :) 1) I keep a layout untill I get tired of it...or get a new idea. Or something. I've had the current one up for almost 4 months and have no plans of changing it anytime soon. 2) See the row of keys at the top of your computer that say F1, F2, F3? Well, go to the far right. You should find a button that says "Print Screen". Hit that, then open Paint, and hit "Paste". Save, and there's your screen cap :) 3) I make thumbnails with an image program...I just resize them. Anymore questions just ask!

Obviously, you know both Spanish and English, but what language do you speak with your friends and family?
Spanish, most of the time. My parents very rarely speak to me in English...and with my friends, we speak in English sometimes, but just to mess around. I do talk to 99% of my online friends in English though.

hey chrissy, earlier on, i went to your site, and read about your friend Lula, and it's interesting ..just wanted to know, are you guys still friends?
No :*( This year we aren't in the same class...so we don't see each other much. We run into each other in the halls, and occasionally will say hi. But that's it... :*(

Hey Chrissy, I was wondering...how do you get the phrases that lead people to your diary from Google? (Did that make sense?) Luv ya, ~Trish
Hi Trish :) All you gotta do is go to www.sitemeter.com, get one of those and then when you look @ your stats you'll see.

Do your parents know about your body piercings?
Only my mother.

did you know that virgin suicides took place in grosse point, here in michigan? =D duane the geek told me so.
Wow O_O Cool man.

hey, do you know of any other diets, cos i'm thinking of going on one. I saw the cabage soup diet, but i was wondering if u had one that doesn't need so much ingredients..like "only fruits.."thanks:)
No, sorry :(

I looked at the picture of you from your July 1st entry, and your hair is SOOOOOO cute! My hair is about the same length, so I was just wondering how you fix it that makes it look so good?
Thanks so much :) Well, when I'm done washing it, I just blowdry it for a while and brush it @ the same time. That leaves it looking pretty decent. I wear it with a zigzag part, little barettes, or a headband. And I try to let some of it fall over my face, because that hides my chipmunk cheeks.

Hi Chrissy! I read that you said you had gained 20 pounds. How long did it take you to gain 20 pounds? Did you start eating normal? What do you currently weigh? (Sorry for being so nosey!)
It's ok. I gained the 20 lbs in...hmm. 6 months I think. But I gained 10 really quick, and then lost, and the gained back, and so forth.

What is a Gata?
A Gata is a girl in a certain clique @ my school...that's what they call themselves. There's 15 of them, and their name came from a song that was popular last year.

Did you know that olive oil really isn't THAT unhealthy for you? Its waaaaaay better to eat than other kinds, Its not just pure fat... Just thought I would let you know
Thanks :) I'm still kinda disgusted by it though

I was wondering where you got that you are wearing in the pic of you with a friend cutting that cake? It's black and sits low on the shoulders, it's so cute!
I got it @ Macys in NY :) It came with the skirt...

What is your screen name at Something-Fishy.com?
Zaccys Angel...but I don't really post there much anymore, it would be kind of hypocritical.

hi, i love your page. you ARE NOT DUMB. If u where u couldnt write such an honest fascinating diary! I love it! I too suffer from an eating disorder, though I wouldnt say it was life threatening or serious, I enjoy it at the moment. That doesnt make me sick. Check it out opalfruits.diaryland.com. Thanks 4 being so honest
Aww...that's so sweet of you. Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments :D

what has happened to the updating at devil/angel, the story you have linked? do you know if the writer has plans to update any time soon?
I have no idea...you might want to join the devilangel egroup and ask on there. It's an awesome place, I used to be a member but I no longer had time to read all the messages. Just send a blank email to devilangel-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Why don't you have a link to your personal website on your diary any more?
Hm...I dunno. I barely touch my personal site...I think I'll put the link back up though.
