So have you tried the key lime truffles?

Funny you should say that...at my best friend's wedding, I paused before drinking the champagne to the toast. Yes, mainly because of calories. (Also because it's taboo in my family's religion to toast, as it is an old spiritually-related superstition.) When you've been living on either 1500 or 1200 calories for as long as I have (think in terms of years, not months) you don't really have a choice about whether you think of the calories or not. You just do. And since I have to keep an eye on my fat, fibre and protein intake as well, it's easy to be obsessive about numbers, since I have to pay constant attention to them.

Not paying attention is fine, of course, for people who actually eat them like you do...one or two as a rare treat, less than once a week, say. If you eat bad food that rarely, it truly doesn't matter HOW bad it is. But most people scarf down the whole tiny tray of six in one go so they last maybe five minutes...and then they do it again four days later, and complain about being fifty pounds overweight. (Grr. Can't help it, I know people who do exactly these things and drive me UP THE WALL by complaining that I'm lucky because I'm 'thin'...which I'm not, I'm just healthy. Lucky? I had to work my tiny ass off to get where I am. Grr, grr to those people.)

Um. End nutrition rant. I go on those really often irl. Too bad it's starting to leak onto the net. :)

I was just interested in knowing if a limey chocolate would even taste good. The combo was so intriguing that I almost bought it in spite of the calorie/fat horror.

My only major issue with Kikyo was her soul stealing. Other than that, with the relationship with IY, the only thing was that she was dead, which made it a bit squicky, to me. But for her personality and all that, she was fine. It was her tragic life from before that made me annoyed at all the narrow-minded people who can't stop screaming about what a witch she is. I do think that she and IY didn't have enough trust...but it doesn't seem to me that they had enough time. And Kikyo had a very hard life...she wasn't like Kagome.

So like I said...I am neither a Kikyo lover nor a hater, and I thought the kiss was nice, I'm glad he wasn't stupid about it at the end.
