Ouch! It's all these damned mosquitoes. With all this buzzing about and blood-letting, you'd think I'd dropped into a circuit party. Pinch me, and tell me it's all a dream and that working out is the last refuge of the beautiful, but tragically needy. At least I have my dreams, although I am a bit shy on coherence. Luckily we two are so sympatico, you and I.

Bashful and content to merely sit in a corner? Maybe you just want to get to know me better. Well lamb's breath, cry over my childhood.

Oh Trudy,

I popped into my sister's quaint little salon on Michigan Avenue in Chicago just before High Tea at the Drake.

There was a swarthy young man who works there who made me swoon. My sister would be so upset if I had anything to do with the help. Should I invite him for a cocktail?

[Yes you may say that we are great friends. And there is still so much more to come don't you think? I can't say much but want you to do a little homework for me. You say your brother in law (maybe soon to be ex) is gay and seeing another woman which would sort of make him a lesbian and by extrapolation your sister gay. I've tried it thrice and it always comes out with the same answer. If I knew calculus I could explain how they ended up with children seeing as she is gay and he is a lesbian, but I fell in love in trigonometry and refused to go any further. -T]

[Heaven knows why I left your pathetic attempt at social climbing. I supposed because I visited said domain and found it - well - pathetic. I'm not one to drown a poisoned rat. At least not without changing my gloves. -T]

[More? You really really like me? "Shaving, no matter where, is tedious but it's a blessing to have the option." "Windows embedded with chicken-wire cannot take the sting out of a wrongful incarceration." Dear, that was a bit random. "Catholicism will never survive the loss of Purgatory." I don't really believe it, but it seems very deep. "I like Rome." Which is in fact very true. -T]

[Oh this will be much more fun. "Elfin ears are a complete turn-off." "I think the butter turned rancid last Wednesday." "The soul simply mirrors the direction in which it is turned." "Personally, I think the economy has more to do with attitude than actual money." "I find white dinnerware terribly useful despite its banal qualities." "You must not complain about wearing heels, it's a gift that many try and few master." Oh, this is delightfully amusing. -T]

[But wait, there's more!]
