*First of all...update on the ankle*

It's most definitely sprained. I was a little drunk last night, so I'm sure that aided my confusion over how bad it actually was, in addition to the adrenaline that surges to the injury initially. I finally went to bed last night at 4:00 am, and woke up this morning at 8:30, because there was too much pain. But it's wrapped, and I'm hobbling around on it (my crutches, braces, and boot are in Nebraska--oh yeah, I got everything a doc would give me...only in another state) which I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be doing. But I'm going to see Mamma Mia tonight, so I'm gonna have to drive, and at least walk through part of the mall.

So I think I found a new favorite drink. I only bought it cause the bottle looked pretty.



But it actually tasted good AND I could actually feel the "up" that it promised. Let's face it, I developed a high tolerance for Red Bull long ago.

Only I became so addicted, I don't even drink it for the effects anymore (cause I never notice them anymore), but out of habit. Or even the taste (which sounds insane, believe me, I know).

So I didn't really know if this "Bawls" was even an energy drink or just a soft drink. It kinda tastes like cream soda. But the bottle claims it's a "Guarana Beverage". I don't even know what guarana means. Or is.

----okay, so I just looked it up, and apparently guarana is a plant, one seed of which contains approximately five times as much caffeine as coffee beans. Ummmm...this doesn't sound so safe.

It IS used in sodas (mainly Brazilian) AND energy drinks. I still don't know which one I'm consuming at the moment.

Though apparently, in rats, guaraná increased memory retention. Hell, I could use some of that. Hmm, however, in excessive consumption of energy drinks, guarana may contribute (alone or in combination with caffeine and taurine) to onset of seizures in some people.------


Oh no. I just went to their website and found this:

BAWLS BUZZ - Spiked with the same high-caffeine Guarana that fuels our BAWLS soft drink, BAWLS BUZZ is a fizzy, sweet candy that is the first candy to help you stay up all night.

Feel the power of BAWLS BUZZ. Because regular candy is for babies!

They make energy candy!! And call regular candy consumers babies? Now I'm a little scared.
