Anyway, as I went into hyper-drama mode last night about 10:30 (Yes, I ended up out on that balcony again - seriously, the thing should charge me for use. I find it romantic - the image of a lone woman on her balcony, contemplating the universe. Course- I ain't no Cinderella, so it's really kinda pathetic - but let's not haggle the details.), I composed a short list of reasons why it's not so good to be a Drama Queen.
1. Too easily confused with Dairy Queen. I don't do bananas.
2. Lengthy monologues require constant vocabulary development.
3. "Woe is me" bumper stickers have yet to hit the market.
4. Continual self-focus drains life force, which is expensive to replace.
5. The never-ending quest for the perfect hairspray. My coiffure looks horrible after a day of head-whipping and ranting.
6. It's dang cold on that balcony.
After I hit #6, I decided to abandon the drama for the night and go inside. My life is very good. I'm blessed on every side. And that balcony is a really great listener.

Dem - that cracks me up. I find the fact that it's completely unattached to any structure too amazing to quibble over lopsidedness....LOL
I still think you need to write novels.
07- heavens! What kind of transvestites do you hang with?!
Sam - *she cries to the moon, if only, if only*
But the four elbows must come in handy.
So to speak.
The balcony alludes to a deeper metaphorical meaning. I must find out what it means!
Awww! I love your balcony! In fact, I love all balconies. I agree with you, standing on a balcony alone while deep in thought is seriously romantic. That's what I would do if I had a balcony. I have bad days a plenty, but only a deck, which is not nearly as cool as a balcony.
So I say, stand on your balcony as frequenty as needed, and spoil us with more of those lovely photos! Oh, and as to hairspry, I've got some Big<SexyHair I could send you which I haven't even touched. If you really wanted.
Or are you standing sideways on a ladder. I can't quite tell. If so, your hair does have a lot of hairspray in it.
Wow - Katie jumps in with a solution! I haven't tried that brand....yet.
"Woe is me" bumper stickers!!! I love that idea. Let's introduce em in the market ourselves :)
I'm getting "Glass Menagerie" vibes.
btw...as much as I loved your blog's other look, this look has actually grown on me...you carry the Black Screen Look off very well!
(for some future dramatization) She was taken aback as her normally stoic, open-minded listener railed against her. "Woe is me," she thought, not for the first time.
