Side Game: Dystopia

[http://users.livejournal.com/_samalander/]

In the world you are entering, there is a Federation. There is an Enterprise. There is even a Captain Kirk.

But in this world, they are not as you know them.

George Lowther, 27, is the captain of the pirate ship known throughout the galaxy as the Enterprise. Of course, he's not the real George Lowther, and neither was the man before him, a fellow called Chris Pike. They're in the process of trading the identity, so Pike can retire, having made his fortune. The new Lowther, real name James T. Kirk, has hired on a crew, and they're off on their first voyage, affiliated with the Federation of Interstellar Pirates.

So. How's the crew doing? And, of course, who's fucking?

HI SAM. I was unable to prevent the battle-zone from happening last night and now there are hurt feelings in my house and some guy just called here for my mom to try and get hold of my aunt and this is looking to be a bad day I wish I could just crawl back into bed.

edit: On the bright side, I can have soda again.

Oh, that is bad. I um. I have already had 235% of my daily sugar allowance.

And I am drinking tea.

Yeah, when mom gets home from the doctor she's going to rant at me about dad and when dad gets home he's going to find something that hasn't been done to his satisfaction that he can yell about and I think I'm going to decide to run a few imaginary errands tonight so I don't get stuck at home with them. It's too bad the library closes at six now instead of eight or I could just go there.

Ah. I am drinking soda because it is my weakness. The rest of my food habits tend to be more or less healthy, except for my habit of putting cheese and/or bacon on everything, but I have a huge weakness for soda. Last summer I tried to drink less of it and stuck with kool-aid (I don't put much sugar in kool-aid so it was actually pretty healthy) and juice, but that didn't last past the end of my kool-aid supply. I still drink juice but only if soda isn't an option.

Sounds like the best day ever. You could go to a bookstore and hang out there?

I have a huge problem with sugar. Love it. Sodium, too, but that's in everything. I'm not using livestrong.com to track my eating, so hopefully it'll shame me into behaving.

Yeah, really. We don't really have bookstores that one can hang out at around here. And the only one we have closes at five.

I tend to be a bit neutral about sugar- I like it in things that it's supposed to be in but I don't like a lot of it because I get a bit dizzy- but I am very vehement about stuff that's supposed to have sugar in it being made "sugar-free" or "no-sugar added" (except in cases where it's intended for like, diabetics and old people who can't have sugar anyway) because if I'm going to eat something sweet, I want it to have all of the sugar it's supposed to.
