    Those damn tentacles! Try tying them in a knot, I find that works quite well.

    You wear a crown? At home? What are you, some kind of princess?

    Oh. Oh, wait a minute. Um, as you were, then.

    I’m not sure bout this piece. I get the idea and I like it. It’s a good metaphor but I find myself nitpicking over tiny details, things I wouldn’t have done quite the same way as you and I’m actually not sure going through them would be very helpful. But I will mention a couple of things:

    Is there an ‘e’ missing from in from of ‘specially’?

    Are the tentacles connected to the ‘soul’? If so, should #3 not begin ‘Once retrieved…’?

    Z: Fuckin’ hell, why didn’t I think of that sooner?!

    AUW: Shut it! Before you get turned into a frog.

    Thehappymisfit: Absolutely darling, you know where to find me. ;)

    Jim: Heh. Yes, there is definitely an ‘E’ missing in ‘specially’. That is the American spelling (old habits and that). As for the rest of it, I’d be rather surprised and impressed if you did know exactly what this very real to-do list is symbolic of (it’s not a metaphor, I can’t do them, remember?)
