Falling in love is hard on the aspartame...
Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi makes me think of falling in love. For starters, it’s disgustingly sweet, in a way that you know wont last because that false aftertaste from the aspartame will hit you eventually. Plus there’s the wild cherry on top of everything else, masking…masking what? Nothing. What you’re left with when it’s all over is…nothing. No calories, no substance, just a little caffeine high that will fade and an overabundance of phosphorous from the carbonation that will weaken your bones when you get older.
Well, that’s what cynical Dana says, at any rate. But today, I sat down to eat lunch by myself at the memorial union on campus. I have to grade 36 papers today (I’ve currently whittled it down to 26), so I decided to treat myself and buy my lunch. I also bought a Wild Cherry Pepsi, which I haven’t had since December. I was addicted during finals, but drank too much of it, and haven’t been inclined to buy it since. However, today, when I opened the bottle and smelled the artificial wild cherry-ness, imagine my surprise when I smiled and thought of falling in love. During finals was also when I was falling in love with Rob, and the smell made me think of how ridiculously happy a person can be, despite all the lack of sleep/intense studying. Silly girl.
I like my thoughts on Wild Cherry Pepsi. I get to sound bitter and cynical, which I love to do, and be sappy and romantic, which tragically I am.

I love it when I come across something that reminds me of when Eric and I were first dating. So I guess you are not alone in the sappy romantic area.
