Today I was munching on a piece of cheese when I suddenly realized that I didn't want to be eating it. That's right. Colleen (aka Mouse Girl, aka Cheese Child, aka Fromage Face) put down the unfinished cheese - get this - with not a trace of regret. Amazing! This is astounding on so many levels that I'm not sure where I should even begin.
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."

Colleen, YOU put down the cheese? You are the CHEESE QUEEN, like when we go to BP's and the waitress asks if she can put some cheese on your pasta, she starts and keeps going and going and going, next thing you know the whole cheese shredder is empty. So that really amazes me that you have stopped wanting to eat cheese! Cheese, mmmmmmm, Cheese.
Where do you find your always-too-cute-and-too-perfect images to go with your blog entries? Like there are just pictures of "No cheese here" signs laying around on the internet?
Perchance, what prompted this change of heart towards le fromage in question? Did you perhaps forget to mention the little green patch you noticed? ;-)
Nope! No mould, T. Just complete pure disinterest in my cheesy snack. And don't get me wrong, M. I haven't given up cheese. That would be ... crazy. I just realized I wasn't enjoying myself so I stopped.
Ah yes, as always there's something serious (albeit cool) behind this seemingly insignificant event. Maybe I'll touch on it in another blog.
Love you guys.
Hi C.
You've given me new courage :)
M.R.
T - regarding my pics. Yes, there are just pictures of "no cheese here" signs laying around the internet. Isn't it great? In fact, to get my cheese picture I typed "no" and "cheese" side by each into Google Images. And ... voila!
Hmmm... methinks there is a more serious something at work here. Of course, it could just be a side-effect of using a mind-altering device to cure rabbits of craving carrots (this makes no sense unless you've watched the Wallace & Gromit movie).
Monky. Tonight, perhaps tomorrow I will rent Wallace and Grommit because if I do not I shall go mad, CRAZY with lack of knowing what on EARTH it is you are talking about. The one solace I have is this: I've never known you to be one that does not make sense. Just cuz I don't get it doesn't mean it's not to be got. Ahem. That being said, thanks for stopping by my dear, dear Fudge. :)
Love,
C
