(Ooh, so glad the tastes work! Damn, now you've made me hungry for Black Cherry ice cream...)
What you REALLY missed was me having a freak-out all over the chatroom because the challenge given right before the Sappho one was a sonnet couplet that I absolutely could not decipher. Could not figure out what it was referring to, could not take its abstraction and get any image that I could turn into a theme, could not get past the fact that the meaning wasn't concrete in those two lines and was therefore stubbornly, completely stonewalled at trying to make something of it. Felt very very stupid. Was "Bah, humbug"-ing all over the place. So, as a result, I decided that with the next challenge I would try to redeem myself by writing a sonnet for it, just to prove I could. Meter, rhyme, plot, and word count! 'S good enough for my bruised ego. ^_^
