Shadow Ritual

______I obtained this skirt recently on sale and decided that it makes me feel like an evil princess.  Yes, an evil princess.  Evil Princess Ali--I do like the way that sounds.  Fear my evil powers, O peasants.  I guess if I even had an evil power, it would be to turn things into sandwiches with a single glance.  Because turning innocent things, such as small children, into sandwiches is rather evil if you think about it.

______Anyway, I feel quite free right now 'cause yesterday I had the wax cleaned out of my ears and it's just great.  Didn't you totally want to know that?  I'm gross, I know, for sharing this with you all.  But it's so worth it because I feel awesome.  It is as if a weight has been lifted... but from my ears.  I can hear a little better, and even though the experience made me a bit dizzy, I feel like a new woman ready to take on the world.  I even felt a breeze in my ears.  Have you ever felt a breeze in your ears?  If you haven't, it's similar to the breeze you feel when you're wearing a skirt, but it's in your ears.  Yeah, big shocker.  It's kind of invasive, yet weirdly fantastic.  It's a good kind of invasive.  Does that still make it invasive?

______I stopped by Starbucks after the aforementioned ear appointment and one of the barista guys told me that I looked very nice, and asked me why I was so dressed up.  I told him that it was for no reason, really, because I'm sure that telling him I dressed up to have my ears cleaned and to do my grocery shopping wasn't the answer he'd expect.  I should've told him that I dressed up like so because I was an evil princess who was reigning over her evil princess kingdom, and then I should have turned him into a sandwich, snatched my green tea, and dashed away.  How dastardly and perfect that would have been!
