Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, 2 months ago, I came to Mississippi on vacation to visit my cousins Danielle, Darren, Olivia and Jacob. The kids, Olivia and Jacob, were driving Danielle crazy and she decided it was time to go back to work. So she had this crackpot, er, make that bright idea for me to pack up and move down here so she could go to work and i could be the MANNY. The rest is history. Actually, that first part was history too, but its just a figure of speech. Anyway...

So I'll skip the adventure down here, maybe i will return to it later on in a flashback. Stay tuned. Suffice it to say I arrived. Well actually part of the adventure to get here is integral to the plot so I have to tell you part of it. Good luck following my trains of thought. I had to rush down here so I could make it before Danielle started work, only to arrive and find that she doesn't actually start for another 3 weeks. Its not her fault, she was inconvenienced too, not that i am inconvenienced, but everything has to be infused with DRAMA just like my favorite book Freak Show by James St. James. So now we have more time to get acclimated and into some semblance of a routine, more time to convince Olivia to like me, more time to most importantly go shopping, and other stuff that makes having more time a good thing.

The first ploy i came up with to make friends with Olivia was to give her a piece a light blue tulle and a piece of light blue lining fabric I just happened to have laying around. This blue lining fabric is just the exact color of Cinderella's ballgown. Do you see where I'm going with this? No? Ugh, alright... These ordinary fabric remnants, wrapped around one's waist and tucked into the waistband of one's shorts just so, after you say the magic words... Ahem, I said after you say the magic words... Good job, bibbity-bobbity-boo, that's right! I swear it's like pulling teeth. This is an Interactive Blog people! So anyway, she had a make-shift, Cinderella dress, well technically skirt, courtesy of her Fairy Godmanny. Ta-dah!

Can't leave out Jacob, so he got to wear a second piece of the tulle and they ran around calling each other Cinderella. Awww.

Today Jacob was pretending to be Darth Vader, with some kind of box on his head as a helmet, so I went into my Louis Vuitton trunk Aunt Tracy and Uncle Doug gave me and pulled out a length of black fabric for a cape. Ok, ok so its not Louis Vuitton. It wasn't a cape either, or a ballgown, its pretend!

So that's about all for now, i'll try to update with some regularity between shifts at the factory in Yoville and being a straight-up G on Mafia Wars on Facebook. Well not straight, but ya know...
