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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Mmmmm...dark chocolate is good. Cadbury's make dark chocolate too - Bournville. It's good. And luckily I'm not scarred for life by the strange chocolate of vileness!

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

There is no end to the praise and love I have for the shoebox.

Me neither! It's just so fabulous!

You're signed up for tigannie*con aren't you?
