Day 28: Last Meal

Today our task was to think of what our last meal would be (like if we were on death row) and then eat it. I've actually thought about this before and made a list of things that I would want for my last meal. It took me a REALLY long time and a lot of thought, and if I remember correctly, my list was super freaking long. And it was really random. Unfortunately, my list is on my laptop which is currently misbehaving and really pissing me off, so I can't go on there and get it and I'm too lazy to try and recreate the list. Sorry. I will definitely post that on here one day because I think it's an interesting thing to see. It tells a lot about people. While I'm at it, let me make a list of all the things I need to put on here because I feel like I'm saying that all the time now.

-last meal
-day...25 I think it was? The one about the list of things I will never do.
-something else...ugh, I can't remember. If you know, please tell me.

Anyways...I really liked this task and as much as I wanted to complete it to its fullest, I knew that if I did eat everything on that list I would probably have a heart attack within 2 minutes of fully digesting all of it, or my stomach would explode and/or I would puke up everything including my guts. Just because there was so much stuff, and really so much unhealthy stuff. One of the things on that list I know for a fact is my school's chocolate chip cookies. They are HEAVEN. And I haven't had a single one so far this year. So today I didn't bring my lunch for the first time and instead went through the mobs and chaos of my high school's infamous lunch lines from hell, and got pizza (another favorite), peaches (I love them, but I don't think they were on my list), milk (which I just realized I got white milk instead of chocolate! I always got chocolate last year and it was SO good but today I was like, "No, I need to be thinking healthy" even though I know chocolate milk was on my list I guess it just didn't register at the time...and seriously, how is white milk going to help me while I'm indulging in greasy pizza and chocolate chip cookies that are 75% crisco oil? Ahhhhh I'm so mad now...) and then the cookies. It wasn't the best lunch ever, but the cookies made going through the lunch line worth it.

Then I had to work today and I decided that if they were serving anything that I LOVE (corn nuggets, shrimp, egg custard, waffles...) that I would definitely get it, but they didn't serve any of my favorites. :/ But when I got home and ate dinner, my mom had made my favorite cole slaw salad, which I'm pretty sure was on my list. It was delicious too. It's funny because I strongly dislike cole slaw and salad, but cole slaw salad is amazing.

So...I didn't exactly have my last meal today. But I did eat some of my favorite things, more than I do on a normal day, and I consider that to be good enough for the task. Maybe someday when I'm really depressed or something and need comfort food I'll just whip up everything I want and have a huge feast of all my favorite things. But if that ever does happen, I really hope someone is there to help me eat everything because I seriously (not even kidding) would probably eat it all until my stomach exploded.

Oh yeah, and here's this website about criminals and their last meals that I was obsessed with for like a week last year: www.deadmaneating.com It's really interesting. It tells you the crimes they committed and stuff and their last words, and then what they wanted for their last meal and if they ate it. Some of the guys never ate any of their meal at all.
