Somebody at work has just been to the US and brought back some sweets and chocolate. Today I ate a small fragment of a milk chocolate Hershey's bar. I do believe that it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted IN MY LIFE. I was warned that it was disgusting but I thought I'd try it for myself. I smelled it and it smelled like chocolate, I put it in my mouth and chewed it and it tasted like chocolate and then a few seconds later it started to taste like vomit. Like chocolate and sick. Mixed together. In my mouth. It's like the oompaloopa's had been on a binge the night before, come into work the next morning and vomited into the chocolate vats. Jesus. And it wasn't just me that thought it tasted like sick either. Vile. I had to rinse my mouth out. I'm never going to live anywhere that doesn't have Cadbury's. Gah.
On a more happy note, the
shoebox_project was updated despite my scepticism yesterday. Yay! Sirius and McGonagall - classic. James and his moulded rubber fetish - also classic. Gorgeous art as usual. And the end - a kiss! Guh. It's so beautifully characterised and believable. Whenever I read HP now, this will be Sirius, Remus, Peter and James for me. And that's actually heartbreaking in the light of what happens to them all. What I thought was really telling was that I read through all the billion comments on that installment and there were quite a few from non-slashers and even non-fic readers that love it.

I don't want to imagine what vomit chocolate would be like. I didn't even dare eat any greenish coloured Harry Potter Every Flavor Beans someone sent me from America, 'cause anything snot or vomit flavoured is morally wrong.

See I told you the shoebox would come through. And man did they ever come through. Shoebox is canon, and you're right, I'll never hear of these guys without this being my character reference. I loved McGoogle's talks with all of them. Peter and the toast (Mr. Toast hahahahaha). And James and his superhero rubber costume. I loved that Lily wanted to know about James, and that she went to jinx Sirius. ANd Remus lists, and Sirius hitting on McGooogles. (sorry I love that nickname). and the kiss was so note-perfect. There is no end to the praise and love I have for the shoebox. I squee about it all the time. and it really is sad that we know what is going to happen to their lives in such a short time from all this. /rant of shoebox love.

You are far wiser than me in the ways of the shoebox! I keep calling McGonagall McGoogle now accidentally.

OMG shoebox, and the toast, and the KISS, and Sirius and McGonagall and James not knowing what he wanted to do, but Sirius knowing, despite all that messing around, and Remus - is me - the lists and everything. And breathe.

I want more!
I'm like a bad kid. I just want to stamp my feet until more comes.
And the KISS... I think I'm going to have to go and re-read it...

How can it be so good?
I don't know - perhaps they've laced it with illegal substances... It's definitely addictive. Is it Thursday yet?

So perfect. I really am going to reread that ending.
I love it. The characters are amazing.
