Bastille Day

[xp_whitequeen]

It’s Bastille Day. I, at the very least, would like to set at least one governmental institution on fire, Probably more. Occasionally all of them.

Also, people like to pretend I’m getting older when everyone knows diamond is both immortal and ageless.

If anyone is looking for me, I’ll be drinking French champagne somewhere and possibly knitting something shapeless and revolutionary. And making snicker-snack noises.

Why yes, renovations are going well. How can you tell?

setting government institutions on fire (or beheading our leaders) is the national duty and responsibility of every American.

I do exclude public libraries from my fiery ire. Also publicly funded art galleries and archives. And public transport infrastructure. And water treatment plants.

Let’s go with "I have a list".

Of course, despite this country's delightfully deluded insistence that America is a classless society where everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, Boston Frosts are definitely aristocracy, which does put me in a slightly awkward position. However, I was born in the body of a truly fabulous mutant, which renders my existence inherently political, even if I didn’t make certain choices.

I am dealing with the cognitive dissonance (and the necessity to replace the ENTIRETY of the Club's antiquated internal plumbing) by the application of copious quantities of Veuve Clicquot.

you NEVER set institutions that are helpful on fire. Like libraries, museums, etc.

only the shitty things. I have a list as well. Theoretically.

The only people that insist that America is classless are the ones who are at the top and never look beyond their country clubs.

Surely no one's said that bit about getting older!

It is l'anniversaire of the day I decided to grace the earth with my fabulous presence. Some people associate that with a number going up, but I’ve found it simply improves both my colour and my clarity.

I feel like you need something delicious to go along with your champagne. Any particular dessert you fancy?

[xp_whitequeen]

If you can find someone to deliver a truly delicate creme brûlée to the Snow Valley offices, that would probably be the right thing to devastate my tastebuds delightfully and make me swoon (though the champagne may have a head start on the swooning part).

Do you prefer vanilla bean or pistachio creme brûlée?

[xp_whitequeen]

Vanilla bean, please. I am all about the classics.

I'll be there in an hour. Amelie's has absolutely divine crème brûlée.
