    <content type="html">I slept through a meeting I was supposed to be at. I only got there with 10 minutes left. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate feeling worthless. I hate collapsing on my bed every 3 am in pure exhaustion. I hate how I collapsed on the floor at 5 pm and almost couldn't move.&lt;br /&gt;I hate how I am going to fail my Italian final on Monday. I hate how my paper due Monday isn't good enough. I hate how I've gained weight. I hate how I have been lying to my parents about &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt;--about seeing a stupid eating disorders specialist person, about taking my stupid fucking medicine, about seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist. I hate how I lie really well after years of practice. I hate how my roommate won't talk to me sometimes because she is just weird. I hate how the semester is over and I didn't do anything I wanted to do. I hate how my room isn't clean enough (I. Need. To. Vaccum.). I hate how I miss my best friend. I hate the rain. I hate how I have no love life right now. &lt;i&gt;prepare yourself for an extremely selfish comment, sorry&lt;/i&gt; I hate how damn happy everyone else is right now. I hate how I can't do this. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate everything about myself.</content>

    <content type="html">She walks in, looking confused, and eventually says, after we bug her for whatever is this "stress" she keeps whining about, "Guys, don't tell this to anyone but..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;anything worth telling always starts that way, btw&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So [x] asks me the other day, "Do you want to be my sleeping buddy?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked him what he meant by that and he said, "Oh no, I just like it when people sleep next to me."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So last night at like 3 am he imms me and says to come over, so I do, and we lie in bed and talk and all of that, so I am sleeping and it's late and I wake up, and he's stroking my leg, and then my chest--you know, eventually he has to know I'm awake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we start kissing and then all of a sudden he stops, says he's tired, and goes to bed. I am freaked out--that's never happenned to me before!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp; so then we go back to sleep and I wake up at 11 am today to him stroking me again,"&lt;br /&gt;she looks down at the carpet and then glances at my blue shoes placed on the coffee table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prevent myself from saying what I want to say--something horrible, something that isn't true, something that only my mind could think up after years of trying to convince my own self of lies--the destorted view of the situation, that perhaps this guy isn't quite as nice as he seems, that in waking up &amp; kissing she ruined whatever fantasy he had in his head, &lt;i&gt;that this sort of thing scares me because what kind of person engages someone sexually, albeit a minor act, when they are not really there &amp; consenting (i.e. asleep!?)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I say nothing--and the other girls don't either--except maybe he freaked out over where this whole "Sleeping buddy" thing was going, if anywhere.</content>
