Love makes the Silver Moon Glitter [21 Thory 4261]
Here are a few things that are different when you're in love. Requited love, at least:
- Certain parts of your body feel a good deal more practical than they did before. And I use the word "practical" in its most delectable sense.
- It is much, much easier to smile at lovesongs.
- Kathia is considerably more stimulating. Or perhaps I am just generally more stimulated.
- It is much, much easier to smile at an offer of brandy by a friendly Anoof.
- Brandy is considerably more intoxicating. Or perhaps I am just generally more intoxicated.
- It is much, much easier to smile at couples and Herethroy triples walking together holding hands.
- One may be moved to break out in spontaneous bouts of singing. However, unlike other intoxicants I have tried, love does not impede judgement, and I did not, in fact, sing.
- It is much, much easier to smile at Orren.
- Everybody else is less happy about your good fortune than you are. In some cases, they try to persuade you that you are not actually happy.
- It is much, much easier to smile.
And if, as in this case, one's beloved is a bit on the nervous side:
- One should reserve four or six cley in case one's lover wishes to see one in the evening.
- One does not need to explain one's lover's linguistic quirks to one's more sarcastic friends.
- One is not so tempted to spend a great deal of money matching one's lover exceptional date for exceptional date.
I'm sure there's more that I'm just not thinking of, on both topics ... any suggestions?
