Happy Fat Thursday, y'all

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.

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. ;-)

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.....
