Strawberry Creamy Chill
Location: timmies
Price: special $5 cad for 2 !!
Have I reviewed a creamy chill before? And if I had, does it matter? Different day, different experience? And did not some tumblr post I saw on Facebook as a Twitter screenshot once say every 7 years you’re actually a whole new person on the cellular level because cells multiply and old ones die and in 7 years none of your cells will be the same ones you’ve had 7 years ago and so you’re kind of like the doctor except regeneration is a gradual 7 year process and you don’t really change that much visually?
It’s a very strawberry today!! I had a strawberry milk earlier curtesy of my friend Mitchelle (though I wanted a milkshake), which I’m not reviewing because I’m almost positive I’ve done that before and I’m a selective rule follower and also I make the rules (it was strawberry. Artificial. Not up to my milky standards, but forgivable since I don’t have high expectations for carton drinks anyway). This one’s definitely milkier, though still not up to my milky standard. Creamy is an undeserved qualifier. It could be creamier. Sweetness wise, it’s just a tinge too sweet, almost a bit like watery ice cream. Strawberry flavour, evident, but on the wrong side of artificial. Overall, will only get if on sale. Not an experience worthy of repeating in full price. I’m only a strawberry blonde hair away from calling it as it is, which is sickly sweet; kind of like Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory but Tim Burton’s version (Tim Hortons, Tim Burton. Ha!), where colours are too saturated and identical weird small people he enslaved is forced to sing songs about a child’s fatal flaws in a corporation with no union laws or follow OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) guidelines and they were originally orange but for some reason in a misguided sense of realism I guess we need race now. To portray. The cartoonish slaves. Yet Wonka is just a sad boi with a hurt inner child because daddy issues :(((((
Okay I mean, I wouldn’t go that far to insult this creamy chill, nor Willy Wonka (Tim Burton’s 2005 version) (or will I). Constructive criticism only in this house (in spirit and not practice since I don’t know enough about gastronomy to make any definite suggestions for improvement): add more cream, less sugar, and the strawberry sauce on top honestly feels excessive and exists more as a reminder that this is strawberry flavoured, or a worsener to really make that artificial taste *pop*.

hello there diary, it's been a minute.
here's another anxiety and some affirmations at the same time. confusing, huh? i fear sometimes i am destined to only bewith men who abuse me. i hope he is different. i hope he has changed from his past the way he tells me he has. the way i know he has, quite frankly. he's a good man. but i'm paranoid and self destructive which are both habits hard to quit and hard to recognize when you're falling back into them again.
this time it will be different. he won't hurt me. i know he won't. his touch is different. i'm never tense, instead i am languid in his arms, his fingers are so gentle when they hand me a pack of tissues for my stuffy nose. his voice is so firm and yet so soft and full of love when he speaks to his little brother.
he's told me before that for him it's just me and his little brother in this world. he says i am his favorite person. he is mine, too. he's been my favorite for so long. i left a failing long term relationship for him, and i feel that is where my anxiety lies. i don't want this to be another failed experiment of my joke of a love life.
but i don't think it will be. i think we will be good for each other.

Dear Gus & Magnus,
After I walked to school with Gus, I gathered my stuff for work and headed out, leaving Nene and Magnus to play in the front yard.
When I got home, Gus put a rock in a gift bag for Breaker -- the second-grader down the street he might have a little crush on. He made a card to go with it -- "To: Breaker; From: Gus" -- and we walked it down to put on her porch.
Dad.
