Blog, meet N.R.
I currently have the nose of a healthy labrador, and eloquence and imagination are far from forthcoming. So to spare a weeks worth of posts (assuming, of course, that I don't die and have to pass on my mantle more permanantly) in which I complain on a near consistent level about how poorly I am, I'm instead passing the torch onto one who currently surpasses me in the upbeat and suitability stakes. Who says I'm self-centred and selfish?
Once again- play nicely. Please.
Not that I mean to steal this for any longer than necessary (that just wouldn't be nice), but your regular author's begged off as she's "poorly sick"- wimp; this is what comes from partying hard while you have a heavy cold.
Hardly attractive now, is it?
And we must think of these things. Imogen's currently curled up in bed with Vogue, a bowl sized mug of coffee and an easter egg; Vogue's full of people who managed to successfully detox after the whole Christmas and New Year binge, so the coffee and the chocolate are to make her feel better for being a complete failure with no self control to speak of.
The very presence of the easter egg is a prime example of this.
It's also a prime example of her ridiculous tendancy to spontaneous food shop, but that's already been covered; "it seemed like a fabulous idea at the time!" Which is why there's a cupboard full of Easter eggs and her flatmates were sulking; until she offered to share.
Comfort eating; in high school I always wanted to start my own trends, but I was never cool enough so I followed those set by others- even the ugly trends, like mismatching shoelaces or.. I hate to say it, but I even got my lip pierced, and a tattoo.
Ugly doesn't do it justice, but I've grown out of such unthinking compliance now.
No really, I have.
To prove it, I'm quite keen on starting my very own trend, and it's one I think could prove to be quite popular; in theory at least. In practise, I suspect it could lead to unrelenting obesity, societal ostracism and an early death- after having lost several million brain cells and decided it's somehow A Good Idea to go on Trisha and Show The World how you've reached The Stage where you have to be rolled onto the stage.
I love my day time TV, and I'm drawing all this from real life examples.
Is gluttony a sin?
But anyway, after that amazing pep talk, here's what I propose; as the detox was de facto pack trend for January, so will be comfort eating for March and April.
Who's with me?

You got a tattoo in compliance with a trend? *points finger and sniggers* Silly you.
I shall be joining you on the comfort eating, I mean, I don't want to be left out now do I? Plus it's dissertations so I'm needing the three pain au chocolates and two choc muffins a day to keep my strength up.

Do chocolate martinis count? I'm better at comfort drinking. Still, the easter egg idea sounds yummy.

I'm partial to my comfort cookies---double stuffed oreos to be exact :)

I've never had a chocolate martini, but anything high in calories will work- I just need company in the comfort eating. And Lady Muck, what makes the tattoo worse is it's a rose; the first time I met Imogen she was convinced I'd have another tatt; I Love Mom written across my other arm.
I was never quite that into unthinking compliance.
Love, N.R.
