winter: (emote - elegantly wasted)
[personal profile] winter
When you're on a diet, Fat Thursday sucks. So I coped by switching my allotted two 200-300 calorie meals to two rose-jam filling donuts and eating a faworek instead of the protein bar :>

I really don't understand how people can eat donuts that don't have rose-jam filling and candied orange peel on top, you know.

In other news, work killed me dead and Gerald Tarrant administered the coup de grace by deciding he doesn't feel like plodding through his conversation with Narilka again, but instead wants the first-time story I promised I'd write for him. Got a 1000 words of it done today, and they haven't even laid eyes on each other yet. Anyone want to take a very pushy muse off my hands?

I offer my deep sympathies. You'd think one would be able to control one's own muses, but it's never as easy as it sounds. Fortunately, my pushiest of muses tend to get restrained by the ones who have been around longer, which certainly goes a long way to explaining why there isn't pages of Marquis De Sade fic on my harddrive.

*grumbles* If I start ficcing this, I am going to blame you entirely and send legions of plot bunnies your way. Many plot bunnies! In legions! With good aim! And big, nasty pointy teeth!

(And sometimes, online shopping is insane - I'm only paying 7 quid for the books, but 8 for postage *boggles*)

*grins* But that would be nice :D And incurring the favour of your characters ;) I shall need to consider this more earnestly, because hee! I love to instigate so :D

Oh! Also, can you drop me a line with where to send your Shadows book to? ;) And would you object to having a couple of episodes of StarGate so you see the pretty I intend to force on you? :D

(As for getting them cheaper, I flailed about on all my favourite online stores and that was the best deal I could get. To get them on Amazon would have been 8 quid each and that was the second-hand editions. I also looked in every book shop and second hand shop in my town, to see if there was a vague chance they were stocked, but apparently, no :-S So, on the whole, it isn't too bad for 3 brand spanking new books. And definitely alot cheaper than importing them :))

*grins* At times like this, I suspect I could probably use an 'But I'm honestly harmless and innocent. Mostly' icon ;)

And yep, that would be my main address because I'm a lazy cow and having msn pop up mail arrivals for me saves me the effort of... well, opening the account unnecessarily :D

(Amazon can sometimes, but not very often, be fabulous for sales etc. I have just found abebooks.co.uk - yay for second-hand and imported book shops online :D I think I've just found where my salary is about to be redirected to)

It's always nice to know there's mail impending, isn't there? :) I used to be the same about snail mail as well, which certainly goes a long way to explaining the 50 odd penpals I collected in my early teens :D

I don't know, there's something to be said for Bavarian cream and chocolate. Or raspberry. Yum.

Although the cinnamon confectioner's sugar donut will also always remain a favorite. :) That and my initial reaction was ROSE-jam?!

Fat Thursday?
Is that like the UK's Shrove Tuesday?

Well I'd say I don't understand how people can eat donuts at all o_O The stuff looks uneatable for me...

But nonetheless a happy Thursday to you! I shall now celebrate it by eating a teaspoon of rose marmalade, yup :D

If he's too demanding, you can always throw him this way. I still need to finish the ficlet with him and Gannon. ^^;;;

As for diets... I was never good at keeping them. Me bad!

Aw, come on. Because it's fat thrursday I ate paczki to my heart's delight. :DDDD I think I ate 4 the whole day - and they were delicious. (*^____^*) And from tommorow I'm going back to the normal diet - I'm so lucky I don't have to count calories or anything~ ^^ good luck!

Don't promise Gerald first-time stories. That's enough to distract even him from any work on other fics. ;-)

*grin* From where I'm standing, you should post more writing memes. Drabbles, plus Coldfire detours.

(And I was dying to post a title for a drabble there, but titles are the bane of my fanfiction life... I can't even come up with them for my own fics, let alone nonexistent fics. ;-)

Can't let him grumble, of course. And if he wants to be an evil bastard...

There are far too many tempting prompts, really. But... Damien, Gerald, ship either to or back from the Eastern Continent? Surely they must have had a way to pass the time...

There's nothing really concrete. Best guess is that it is another continent, or collection of islands somewhere on the way from the main continent to that of the Matrias. Dangerous for ships, seismically very active, and generally not a fun place to be.

It is Jueves Lardero over here, when people are expected to eat fried longaniza... a kind of cured sausage. I pass because I don't like wurst-like foods that much.

I've been writing longer recently as well.....
