Cinderella and the snickers bar...

Cinderella was sad and listening to Aretha Franklin's "I say a little prayer to you", moved to tears by the ethereal beauty of the diva's voice. Unbeknownst to herself, CinCin suffered from an eating disorder. Wrapped in her adoration for the dulcet tones emnating from the long lost siren , she reached out for her plate of chocolate syrup to drown her emotions. Instead of the comforting sweetness that she expected to find, she found herself facing two pills; one was blue and one was green. Normally, all the uppers and downers that CinCin consumed were well hidden from plain sight, but apparently she'd tripped enough last time to forget to stash away her psychedelic paraphernalia.

A wave of revulsion and disgust swept her at the sight of these pills. She impulsively decided that she would no longer choose to be a selfmedicating, chocolate syrup eating zombie. (I decided that it would be super-depressing to write about a druggie. Besides, I've never tripped in my life! Except on caffeine, and the last experience left much to be desired. 18/June/2006)


(19/June/2006)CinCin successfully substituted her substance dependance with a sudoku addiction! This was a healthier alternative - not only did it enhance her mental abilities, but it also prevented her body from rotting away. CinCin also took to chewing gum compulsively. (21/June/2006) CinCin decided that she was going to achieve something new in life. She decided to do one new thing a day.

(22/June/2006) The first day she decided she was going to speak to a random stranger for an hour and have a wonderful time getting to know this stranger. She met a sad beggar who was humming the bars for the Bohemian Rhapsody. She engaged him in conversation and to her complete and utter surprise discovered that she was talking to Freddie Mercury!! Freddie had decided that he wanted to experience life in a truly unique fashion and so had arranged for an elaborate goodbye to the world, so he could enjoy his anonymity. It thrilled and intrigued Cinderella that Mercury was pretending to be a beggar out of pure curiosity. As the sand grains fell away from the hour glass, Cinderella said goodbye to Freddie, internally baffled by the riddle of his life.


(23/June/2006) The next day, Cinders felt that she had spoken enough and exhausted herself emotionally. So she decided to give herself a break and slept in the entire day, which was something that her wicked step mommy didn't encourage much at all! But, our little Cinderella was a courageous lass and she slumbered calmly on whilst her evil sisters tried incessantly to awaken her.
