  2. The Lost Boys and The Godfather are awesome movies! There are so many great movies from the 70s and 80s.

    I really loved reading this. You are so much more than your ed & addiction. Every person is so much more than their inner demons (and everyone has those... I don't care who you are). They are part of us but they don't define us.

    Some random facts about me...
    I'm 22. I studied English at uni. I waitress to earn $ and I suck at saving too. I've never left the North American continent, I don't have my driver's license but I have my passport. I am probably addicted to music. I love all kinds, and I know it's boring not to go into what kind of music I like but I'll share some tunes soon.
    I'm a recovering bulimic and in the last four years have had some relapses and a hospital stay (that wasn't for bulimia though).
    I used to smoke cigarettes. I quit for 2 years then started buying packs again this past summer, but I stopped that and now occasionally smoke when I'm drunk.
    I'm vegetarian. I love dips, like salsa, hummus. I also have a sweet tooth. I also love thai food.
    I still party hard but don't drink as much. I paint. I enjoy going to concerts.
    If I had a time machine and could hang anywhere at any point in time, I would go to California in the 1970s, Europe in the early to mid 90s for the fall of the Berlin Wall and the raves in the UK, Southern US in the 1960s, & late 1800s New York.

    If you had a time machine where would you go?
