"You should be a camel in the Gobi"

According to Spencer, I should be a camel in the Gobi because they eat 2 gallons of ice every day! I am pretty close to becoming a camel, I ate 161 1x2" pieces of ice yesterday. Today I havent eaten so much, roughly 46 pieces, mainly because my mouth is sore from yesterday. Both of my cheeks are all chewed up because I ate so much ice that my cheeks were numb and I didnt realize I was biting my cheeks :(
I've been addicted to ice since October 2008. One of my friends used to bring me bags of ice to school. A couple days ago Spencer and I went downtown. We took a little detour and went to the third floor of this fan-cay hotel. There, I filled up a bag of ice. It was pretty darn good.  My new years resolution is definitely going to be cut back on ice. I've probably eaten more ice than most people eat in a lifetime.
Theres a name for my addiction: pagophagia. Pagophagia is a disorder where people chew ice, its a form of pica. On top of this, I have no self control..at all. I swear, Im going to be nineteen and toothless if I dont stop soon. I really am scared I'll end up toothless but it apparently doesnt scare me enough to stop. Must stop..must stop...must stop...
Right after I go eat some ice :)
