O it's liable to do all that and cartwheels, too, jump up on the table and dance the tarantella, make a CD and get a record deal, then change its mind and run off to Tokyo to start its own circus. Then just when you think it's gone for good, started counting down the days to the completion of the Required One Year, invitations to the Ritual Burning of Items had gone out, the caterers had the pear tarts all ready for meringue, then - Surprise!
Scorn, shmorn. I bite my thumb at scorn. I'll tell you what Hell hath no fury like...
But then, finally, the tanks come rolling down the street, all decorated with marigolds, the crowds cheer, choirs sing, the tambor resounds, the second line forms a spontaneous New Year dragon, glittery confetti is everywhere, of course some clown (did I forget to mention the clowns?) has to play that cheesy Scorpions song - and at long last, you're Free!
Now since all the boys will have slowly and silently backed out of the room, politely waiting till they're clear of the door before taking off as if chased by a band of hungry, rabid wereCheetahs, I can go ahead and tell you that some of the wrapping and ribbons may cling to your Liberation for some time.
For example, I still find it almost impossible to wear clothing made of anything but the lightest cotton mul mul (called voile in some places), the thinnest possible fabric that is not transparent, unfortunately, it's increasingly difficult to find, so if you come across any garments made of it, I recommend that seize them now, and worry about details like size, color and silhouette later.
Similarly, you may expect your appreciation and consumption of talcum powder to soar way beyond anything you had imagined, and you will learn that as long as you don't tell anybody, you can too put anti-perspirant right around your hairline, just as an example, over your moisturizer, under your foundation, and your skin will neither explode nor fall off...
The Holmes company makes excellent little fans, with remote controls, that will turn any room into a veritable wind tunnel. We have one in every room, including one on my side of the bed, about 3 feet from my head...
But even with all that, it is
so worth it, and even those bow and wrapping paper annoyances never stop (and they may, or may not) the fun
definitely never stops. You are going to have soo much fun, and at the risk of indelicacy, so is Mr kristin
