Memoirs of a Fat Girl

I've been stuck lately. It's not a pretty thing to have to tell you but I'm sure you've noticed, being with my lack of posting, flippant use of memes, etc.

It's not an easy thing to admit but a good break to have, since I can feel the words starting to buzz around in my head again. While this justifiably labels me insane, it also means that soon, very soon, you shall have fresh reading.

Today you have a meme, because I was tagged for one. Tomorrow you get a post, Wednesday you get another meme while I collect my collective thoughts, and from Thursday on out it's new stuff. Sound good?

(But just so you know, memes are great for when you feel you've exhausted yourself. And, so much fun to do!)
