Purple Peep Eater.

[merimask]

So horribly busy right now, making things.  I've discovered something about myself...I have a hard time feeling motivated to work unless I have a mission.  I need deadlines and projects and a good poke, or else I stagnate.  How immature of me!

rumdiculous, by the way, is a total sweetheart who sent me a serendipitous impromptu package which I received just in the nick of time (I was about to descend into a session of self-pity...I'm feelin' weak today).    I opened it up and was rewarded with a purple plush bunny shaped like a Peep, and I love Peeps.  Among iconic sugar treats there's nothing cuter...though I admit I like them best when they're just a bit stale.

Thanks, kiddo.  :-)  You make me smile.

Back to work.  A whole flock of masks are cut out on my living room floor and just lay there like flattened roadkill from a bizarre steamroller/Mardi Gras mishap.  The pantheon of Egyptian god masks mocks me with its half-finished state.  I can't rest until everyone is properly gilded for a trip to the afterlife (or perhaps just some masked ball).

You would appreciate this, if you love Peeps so....

At the mall the other day, walked by this little hole-in-the-wall coffee stand that was selling Marshmellow Peep Lattes. Something highly disturbing about that.....

That sounds like a great idea, actually. :-) You know what else would be neat? Hot chocolate with a Peep floating in it. Yumm...

BLEGH XD

I love marshmellows, but something about Peeps has always made my stomach turn....

Aw, Rumi is sweet. Though I don't know what a peep is. I can't shake the image of ypu eating a plushy, now.

Never had a peep?

Nothing but pure sugary goodness. Peepage

My limit is four at a time, more than that and I go into a sugar induced coma.

Peeps used to be these funny chick-shaped marshmallows covered with crunchy good yellow sugar. Sort of an Easter candy staple item. They were always the most sought after Easter treats in the basket next to the actual central chocolate bunny. Now they make them in all different shapes including bunnies, and for Halloween they make ghosts and pumpkins. It's a candy dynasty based on the premise that marshmallows are the perfect sugar delivery vehicle if they're shaped like cute stuff. Yumm!

Yay! You got the prezzie!

I love those little purple peeps. They're really good if you heat them in the microwave for a few seconds, they get all melty. If you keep them in there longer they turn into mutants and blow up. ...something to try out next time your bored. :D

That sounds remarkably messy! On that note...I wonder if you can toast Peeps over a fire on a stick. It'd be one disturbing Peep, though. They'd look like cute little third degree burn victims, poor bunnies and chicks.

When heating, make sure they don't turn to mush. I like them when they're very soft and slighty warm. ...Actually you could just lay them in the sunlight for a few minutes and acheive the same affect without the microwave...

Next time you're in a bad mood, roast one of those little suckers to take the anger out. XD

rumdiculous does rock, doesn't she?

She's a sweetie. :-) We have the ~best~ online IM chats ever...we crack each other up.

I read that and immediately thought of an old song I used to sing in Girl Guides, the

No, that's sort of what I was going for. :-) I'm the queen of obscure references (BIG Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan from waaaay back).

[empath-eia.livejournal.com]

OMG, seriously? That's so funny... I've heard of MST3000 but never really got into it. But seriously, I didn't think anyone else knew that crazy song. Learn something new every day...

Flying Purple People Eater Damn laptops keyboards...

Ugh, I'm with you on the motivation thing. I'm beginning to think that artists who can work hard everyday are the freaks. *nod*

PEEP

I can force myself to work when I don't want to...but it's uninspired stuff. I try to do ~something~ every day...but then again I can always busy myself cutting out patterns or doing really repetetive basic things that don't take a lot of creativity. Meh...*shrug*...it beats working at K-Mart. :-)

PEEP!

Ooh, ooh, add me, add me, add me (as a friend), because I have something to show you. :)

[merimask.livejournal.com]

Added! :-D I wanna see! *bounce*
