I want, I want... |
My love affair with the crimson spheres began about the time I arrived. Ever since then I've nary missed a chance to seek them out and beg more for my own.
At first it was really terrible, all seeing and wanting with no gratification. Most were way out of reach and no one would help me get to them. They still called to me and I still tried to answer.
Then the ladies at the Jade Temple understood my seemingly universal sign language for "gimme" and kindly "gamme." My desire was not satisfied however and my passion only grew.
My handlers recognized this was more than a crush and soon bought me my own private collection. Boy are they something. There must be a good dozen of them in there and every last one is as red as the next. They got tassels and gold plastic funny business for trim. They are decadent, attractive and suit me just nice.
Even though I'm already "with lantern" I still find myself constantly drawn to look at others and I suspect my lanterns sense it too, maybe even feel a bit jealous. I can't help myself though. It's not that I don't love them very much it's just that I know there are prettier and more sophisticated ones within reach. It's not like I agreed to be exclusive with my lanterns or anything.
All in all this trip has been really great for me so far. If I had it all to do over again I'd even go to Ohio if they had lanterns there. As far as I'm concerned any dive could be the Taj Mahal provided they meet my stringent décor needs. I guess I'm just easy to please that way.
