Death by Embarrassment

[erika_rta]

Today is definitely on my top 5 list of worst days. I had decided to visit Jade. Grandfather is there, since he's ambassador, and I hadn't seen him in a while. I still didn't get to see him. Instead I had a man die practically in my arms. I don't know why, or by who, just that it was a masked man. The murderer apparently contacted the authorities,

I contend it was not that bad. He was surprised and I wasn't quite expecting you to do that. I also thought you were talking about someone else entirely.

So much for me giving relationship advice, though.

[erika_rta]

You weren't the one embarrassing yourself though! Or the one acting totally outside your nature to try to get a slice of happiness.

Alas, it looks like I'll just have to bury myself in books again.

Embarrassing myself, with careful calculation and plotting, is what I do.

I do not recommend jumping people. That takes people off guard. I do recommend buying them a drink and chatting them up first.

[erika_rta]

I'd already chatted! And, well, you see what happens when drinks are involved.

I'm still young, I know this. I'm not even fifty yet. But perhaps it's time to give up foolish dreams and settle for those things that are actually within reach.

Nonsense! Dreams are for the young!You have only just begun to make a fool of yourself. Um...My motivational speaking may be a tad weak there. But age and experience is overrated. Or so says another young 'un.

Only just begun to make a fool of myself? That's it. I'm hiding in the library until I'm one of those silly old ladies with the huge, hideous purple hates who don't care.

"with the huge, hideous purple hates who don't care."

Most people think that hate is red. But I agree; it's purple.

[erika_rta]

That too. I guess I was just trying to prove Molly's point instead talking about the hideous purple hats. Go Molly! You were right!
