Lately my belly's been resting on the bottom of the steering wheel.

Not strictly any kind of food, but something I used when I started gaining was mixing equal parts butter and peanut butter and adding liberal amounts of sugar. I would eat it and wash it down with whole milk or heavy cream (when I could get it). It helped boost my weight significantly, but may not be for everyone.

I had pretty much the same reaction to cartoon weight gain scenes. Except for the fact that I was thinking, "What if that happened to me..."

There is a sense of freedom in bucking the mainstream. I think it also intensifies the eroticism of it. An image that recurs is of me sitting in my dark bedroom with the door locked and a pile of honeybuns in front of me. Trying to unwrap them as slowly and quietly as possible, impatience fighting caution as I work through them. Thinking about the calorie load I'm putting in, sometimes as many as 12,000 calories in a go. Knowing that I'll also go and eat dinner with my family afterward, because after the slightly woozy feeling I get from eating a lot of pastries passes I always feel hungry again.

Sorry, kind of got off on a tangent there. Well anyway, gaining just seemed a mostly natural thing to me. A state that my body and mind have always wanted to fulfill, despite my earlier love-hate relationship with my chubby form. I'm never so happy as I am when I'm eating until I can hardly breath.

Oh yea, here's another one (Again from the mind of Stephen King) Sarah Tidwell. She was a wraith in Bag of Bones, that has been possessed by a demon known only as an Outsider.

She was just downright terrifying.

*scratches stubble* Last week was kind of a food bender for me I guess. I ate as much as I could get away with at every meal, but I only all-out stuffed once or twice.

Of the new generation of consoles I'd go with the PS4. XBox One just does not appeal to me at all (in point of fact, it kind of scares/outrages me). Despite the fact that I've enjoyed my XBox 360, I'm definitely jumping ship this time around. All this Big Brother bull-stank is ridiculous, and the necessity of internet connection is no good either. Not being able to sell back/trade-in games was also a big part of me deciding against it.

Not to mention the whole feature of people being able to interrupt your game-play/tv/movie with skype-like calls *which come through without having to be accepted* definitely contributes to the XBox One feeling like a massive "***" to the customers.

A fantastic artist. I've loved all the art she's created which I have seen. It's also still a little surreal to know that I've inspired some of her art.

I can still pick up coins from the ground quite easily.

I'd start by paying off my student loan debt. Then I'd go back to ODU and get my Master's and Ph.D in one go (another four year trek but whatever). Then, after I'd done that I'd come back to my home town *at least for a while* and buy the gas stations, and the comic book stores. I'd probably also buy some comic book stores in Norfolk and other large cities.

I'd probably also pay for my friend to finish his Business degree to at least a Master's and let him take charge of the comic book stores.

I'd buy lots of stock in Goodyear and a few other companies. Put a lot of money in high yield DOMESTIC accounts *no tax evasion for this guy*. If I had enough money I'd probably donate some to the biology departments of ODU, Averett and a couple of other Universities.

After all of that, I'd travel. First America, I feel like I should visit all the states before I start to travel abroad. But of course I'd also want to visit all the countries of Europe.

In my US and European travels I'd want to meet as many fellow FFer's as possible.

Congratulations on de-lurking!
