Sulky And Shameless

I'm a good person, right?

I make the world a better place. I save lives. I fix tiny, tiny puppies and little fluffy kittens. And bunnies, too. Can't forget the bunnies.

So..... the world owes me happiness, right?

And, given that I am not happy right now, and the ephemeral things that I need in order to be happy right now aren't particularly forthcoming, the world and fate owe me material happiness. Right?

To be specific, the world owes me a Brute Force Leather Victorian Underbust corset. Size 20".

It makes sense to me.

Actually, I'm even of the rather arrogant opinion that this might just give the world a chance to make at least a few people rather happy. And my husband deserves some cheering up right now, too.....

While I'm at it, I think the world owes me a new pet snake, a full night's sleep, and some peace of mind, but I'm not holding my breath.....

I'll be more specific: The world owes us you in a Brute Force Leather Victorian Underbust corset, Size 20". ;)

Y'know, I bet you have enough friends who'd be willing to donate to a corset fund via PayPal...

Size 20"? Have I mentioned I would kill to be that skinny?

You definitely deserve to have that corset. I know mine certainly cheered me up. :)

argh, the post ate my comment.

summary: i agree that the world owes you - and us - a corset for you. but my housemate ([livejournal.com profile] mrpet) does custom-made corsets, and if the world owes you a corset, doesn't it owe you a custom-made corset?

Corsets, even vicotrian ones are not that hard to build...

I have to agree....have a friend or local person make you one.

... what they said

I must agree. Getting you into that corset is a public service. I'll contribute to the fund to buy or build so you can wear it at Intercon.

Heck come down to NY to model for me and I'll buy it for you outright.

Too bad you'll be at Brassy's instead of The Great Boston Burlesque Expo... Brute Force is one of our vendors.

You are very right. The fate of the free world may depend on you getting a Brute Force Leather Victorian Underbust corset, Size 20"... and wearing it as part of your outfit when I'm present. ;-)

They had this skit on late night TV. Maybe it was SNL, maybe not.

This guy wanted a wife, and the "Wizard" said "no one can find you the true love and companionship that one needs in a wife...

"But here's twenty bucks and a phone number to get you started."

And while I agree that the universe does not precisely owe you happiness, and while I think that the true way is to find and remove the barries that hold us back from true happiness, right now, I think that's way too difficult and the universe should just get off its ass and get you the corset.

(Does the universe have an ass? Can it *get off* it's ass? And does the universe fart out of its ass after eating a nasty bean burrito? Would we know? And does the All You Can Eat Bean Burrito place have an exception for if the universe should pop in for a few?
