Pica(choo) Seven Sofas

Woman addicted to eating couches
By What the...?! | View Archive April 15th, 2011, 9:21 am

A Florida woman has been diagnosed with a rare disorder where she is addicted to eating the inside of sofas.

Adele Edwards, who has been eating the inside of couches for 21 years now, had to seek medical help after her cravings started spiraling out of control.

'In the last year I've eaten seven sofas,' says Edwards, according to the UK's Daily Mail.

'I unzip the cushions and snack on the foam inside. And once I start I just can't stop,'

The unusual disorder, pica, is a heightened disorder that is more commonly found in pregnant women.

When certain nutrients are lacking, some pregnant women have been known to crave things like dirt.

Edwards' compulsion for couches started at age 10, when her parents were going through a difficult divorce.

Following her cousin's lead of chewing on a piece of foam for fun, Edwards discovered a new addiction.

'I liked the flavour, I liked the way it felt in my mouth,' she says.

Edwards is now undergoing hypnotherapy to cure her addiction.

... which made me think of ...

and the episode in which a couch eats a poor unsuspecting girl.

Which in turn made me consider

which isn't big enough and there is no point to this post
apart from observing
the strangeness of how things tag together
2 degrees and all that

fail 2 (fel) [Click for IPA pronunciation guide]

So I was thinking
Everyone tells you to fail and try again and fail better and whatnot
But are you allowed to fail emotionally?
I feel people don't pat you on the back and be like hey, you'll get back up, you won't hurt people so much next time, it's ok everyone fails - its the only way to grow!
Somehow we're all supposed to be magically good at relating to people from the get go and thus end up in ideal marriage with A+ kids.
If i have children i will stretch them.
They will be gods.

HOME

I have just spent the Easter weekend at home in Wellington with my family.

Over this period of time I have discussed:
  • Archetypes versus stereotypes
  • Post-World War New Zealand and Japanese relations
  • What is art?
  • Is pedestrian movement / attempted non-movement dance?
  • Are homosexual relationships less inclined to length and commitment?
  • The state of present day Romania
  • Should milk be put into leaf tea first or second?
  • Forcing food on toddlers versus their sense of self and "no"
  • Performance Art as a viable option for ex-dancers
  • Whether the dance industry would support a business created to document works and
    how performance art documentation becomes part of the art itself
  • Facebook's new found ability to make or break relationships
  • Whether supporting local produce or quality produce is better for the world at large
  • Pros and cons of stripping in Auckland versus Wellington

I have attempted to:
  • Be more helpful around the house
  • Spend more time with people and be really present
  • Not get too self involved
  • Write a poem everyday (as have been for past month or two) BUT most of all - write poems that aren't so insanely personal that maybe I could consider showing some people
  • Be a masseuse for the Howards
Amen. He has risen indeed. Nice to be home :)
