Write a story together.
We really should.
I'm tired, which is why this post is so short. I just got home from a Coldplay concert, which was quite shiny.

Figgy Pudding is Figgy Pudding
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to our readers, if we have any at this point.
Suzanne, your last post was fantastic. I must've read it about ten times. I would have commented on it, but it seemed lame somehow to be commenting on my own blog, even if it was a shared blog. Next time I'll just comment anyway.

A Blog is a Blog is a Blog
Greetings fellow carbon based life forms(assuming someone is reading this post)! Since Allie has already taken the time to so wonderfully introduce this blog, I figured it was about time that I contributed.
I guess I will use this opportunity to introduce myself to the world of blogging.
My name is Suzanne (although various forms of the name including Suzy Q and Suze are acceptable), and I am a fine arts snob. Yes, it is a critical condition, and yes, it is very real.
Why do I bring this up? Simple. It is necessary to truly understand who I am and how it will affect my writing. This is, not to say that I believe that I am particularly learned in the world of arts, however I do take pride in my ability to incorporate the little knowledge I have been able to accumulate over my 17 and a half years of life and use them in debate. Expect harsh criticisms. No one is sparred. My first target? The upcoming film adaptation of Les Miserables, and like the bulk of musical theatre fanatics, my expectations are high. I will be fully armed with a box of tissues and waterproof mascara.
The Origins of Pudding is Pudding: It all began on a chilly spring evening on Facebook chat, as these things often do. Being the teenage girl that I am, I suddenly craved the creamy chilled substance that is chocolate pudding, and somehow, someway, the phrase, "pudding is pudding" came into the conversation. At first, it was just something to laugh over, and after a few typed, "ha ha ha"s, that was that. Later that year upon the brink of fall, the idea of a blog came into conversation. But what would we call it? Immediately the seemingly insignificant phrase was suggested. It was perfect. It was blunt, it was absurd, it was abstract, and yet when over analyzed by a couple of crazies like us, it was utterly profound. Pudding is pudding. Its not lemon meringue pie, it's not a quiche, its it's own delectable treat that doesn't try to be anything but that. Its only want is to bring joy to those who consume it. If you like it, great, if you don't, life goes on. I think we should all strive to be like pudding. Exactly what it wants to be and nothing else. Pudding is pudding. Suzanne is Suzanne. Allie is Allie. And it is just as simple as that.
In short, I entreat you to expect the unexpected. In the world of Allie and Suzanne, (almost) anything is possible.

This post is a post
I have the feeling Suzanne and I have been dancing around this blog like two kids around a beached crab, you know--poking it occasionally to see how it reacts. Well, someone's got to pick it up first, so I'm picking it up. Here's hoping it scrabbles nicely across the palms of my hands and doesn't pinch me, by which I mean I hope that this first blog post is halfway decent and doesn't contain any gross typos. I have a weird way of wording things, which is something you might as well know right now, at the outset.
The title was Suzanne's idea. "Pudding is Pudding" is an observation that is partly humorous, partly philosophical and profoundly true. We hope that this blog--which is not pudding, but which is Pudding is Pudding--will live up to its title in substance and in sweetness.
