Hungry thoughts.

Well, as a few of you know from being in RinkChat with me, I was involved in the thirty hour famine, a fundraising thing in which participants go without food for 30 hours to raise money for third world countries. It's now all over and done and I've discovered a few things.

One, there is a limit to how physically hungry one can get within a 30 hour period. You don't get hungrier and hungrier. You plateau after a while and stay physically hungry about the same amount. However... you start thinking about food even more.

Two, it really is possible to be too tired to eat, no matter how hungry you are. At 1:30 in the morning, I have eaten half of my bag of popcorn, and then it became... Augh. Can't reach to the bottom! I was still hungry... but I didn't have the energy to eat anything. And the party wasn't over and wouldn't be until 6am. It was really too loud to get to sleep.

Three, although I've already eaten since the famine ended, I'm still hungry now...
