The cheerful disposition never left me. This morning, I woke up very early, spent about three hours in preening, because I'm sure you know by now that in an interview, be it a job interview, the looks count more than the resume. Not that my resume is not good enough, but in a world of good enoughs, a decent look makes the difference. Also, it was an excellent opportunity for me to show of my new printemps collection of hot couture. (God, I'm good with words!). So, dressed up as the queen of mods, nothing less, I believe I made an excellent impression on the recruitment lady. I certainly exceeded my own expectations. I was so communicative, so spiritual, so poised, I truly amazed myself. I may have made a few things up just for the sake of an interesting conversation, but all in all I told her exactly what I wanted and she seemed committed to help me get it. Because normally I'm quite grumpy and serious when with new people, I need quite a lot of foreplay in order to let my hair down. So maybe I'm starting to change, to evolve into a superior being, the homo comunicatiens, and all I have to do in order to achieve something is to look pretty, smile and have no problem in expressing myself in a flamboyant yet effective way. Wouldn't that be great? The world would be a better place.
Or maybe is just Mercury not being retrograde anymore, but who's counting?

I walked home for about an hour and a half, it was a worm, sunny springtime day, and the soft breeze was caressing my face. The purple satin ballerina shoes didn't exactly thank my feet for it, but what the hell, I was stoic. I resisted most impulses to enter shops, except for the couple of times when I badly needed to check myself in the mirror, because I was afraid my mascara was yielding. False alarm!

When I got home I wrote no less than four excellent pages, that need no revisions, probably the best pages of the chapter so far. I'm so excited about it. Finally, I feel I found my own voice, quite innovative, direct, I got rid of pompous words and I go straight to the point. I'm loving it. And as if all that wasn't enough, I spent quality time with my flat mates, Sabrina and Toni, and after all this time of almost-belligerent attitude, we really clicked and had fun.
I can't ask for anything more, can I?
