So, I've come to realize something.  I've come to realize that I am addicted to bacon.  Hello, my name is Gregor, and I am a bacon addict.  I've been going to meetings for a while now, and I have to say that even though I was skeptical at first, it really helps to have people around that won't judge you and just sincerely want to help.  People that understand because they have been there.  I can't tell you how much my sponsor has really ministered to me, really helped me carry this burden.  It's my friends at BEA, with all of their incredible encouragement and support, that have helped me get to this point.  Helped me to confess this openly.  That's why I redacted this post.

I just read an article in the Alestle about our "digital selves;" that manifestation of our personalities floating about in cyber-space in the form of e-mails, instant messages, and blog entries, and I thought of all of you.  I haven't posted since last August.  My digital self has been a bit antisocial.  But there have actually been some developments in my real life.  The most significant development comes in the form of a beautiful girl named Bethany.  We've been dating for a month, and now we're "official."  I'd go into details, but I don't feel like writting a letter.

I also found out from my roommate/landlord, Ryan Wiggins, that Wanda Princess of Tile lives in his parents neighborhood.  No joke.  Apparently, she landed in Collinsville after being pushed off that flying rug.  If you cats goad me enough I might just follow up on this lead.  I think there might be an "E True Hollywood Story" in this.  I will now end this entry with a manic display of emoticons.

Here's another Becky the Carpet Queen true story.  Jerod Kampwerth's aunt, Randa, used to date Becky's son, Billy.  Billy is crazy.  One day, according to Jerod, they were at either Randa's or Billy's or somebody's house, and Billy had a .22 pistol with him.  Randa commented on it and asked if it was loaded.  Billy said that it wasn't but in fact it was.  Then Randa said, "I wonder what it would feel like to be shot," and Billy raised the gun towards her and fired.  Randa lifted her arm up in front of her face as he pulled the trigger, and the bullet entered her hand, travelled down her forearm, exited near her elbow, and then logded itself somewhere inside her torso.  Randa was taken to the hospital and there, Jerod tells me, Billy tried to smother Randa with a pillow as she laid in her hospital bed.  He didn't succeed and a restraining order was filed against him.  Apparently Randa is okay now.  Jerod doesn't know if Billy the Carpet Prince was incarcerated over the incident or if he was even prosecuted against.  I've always thought that the Carpet Queen has a crazy look in her eyes in when she's on tv, and this might serve to explain it in some small way.  Oh, and if you don't believe me, just ask Jerod.
