My last writing forum, the late FictionPost, was closing down just as I hit 666 likes. Fought an hours-long battle begging people to stop liking my posts to leave it there. It closed when I was at work, I dunno what happened in the end.
I managed to negotiate some compromises for my teaching schedule next semester. Compressed everything to three work days a week and got rid of that pesky 8 AM class, too. (Thanks Prof. H for using your leverage on the faculty to extort the scheduling department. Eternally grateful. )
Plans are set. March sixteenth is the day I go to Norway. Prepare, Norway, for this American scumbag to steal your stolen oil! I mean free you of the burden of carrying oil! On a more serious note: I'm really excited to hangout with my old friend again. And eat some Norwegian chocolate...Kvikk Lunsj is to die for.
No one can resist the Norwegian side of the chocolate. It is too good. It makes diabetes worth it. Join the tasiter side of the force.
Oh, you Hooligan... Only if you think Smarties are the same as M&Ms. I get Kvikk Lunsj (the dyslexic nightmare of chocolate) on Amazon. Speaking of...Are Canadian Smarties the ones with or without the orange flavoring flavouring? I always get them mixed up and order the wrong ones. Valor from Spain is my ultimate favorite, though. I need a good consistent source for that.
Or maybe you get the good stuff in your neck of the woods because it's coming from a different factory.
Noooooo! Thou shalt not mix thy Skittles with thy chocolate. That's just all kinds of wrong... Now, Milk Duds in buttered popcorn is another story. That you may do.
That'd do it... I do seriously like to mix plain and peanut M&Ms, though. Happiness: the house smells like chocolate because I just took chocolate cupcakes out of the oven.
What is a Skittle, anyway? I've never had one. They look gross on TV - in the ad, they're scabs peeled off some sick teenager's face.
That commercial is so disgusting, isn't it? They're fruit-flavored chewy candies in a hard candy shell (about the consistency of caramel, but different). ETA: I always think of school when I see them, because for some reason, they were a popular thing to eat during First Period.
ETA: The sour kind were my favourite, but they're not as sour as they used to be. Whether that's because they're actually different, or because my taste buds have withered along with my youth and hope in humanity is up for debate.
M&Ms made with strong fruit taffy, basically. They were a favorite of Mrs. A's mom, so we put a pack in her coffin with her before everything went into the crematorium.
