: Paris Makes Me Want to Do Bad Things
I have the most free time and least amount of responsibility
I probably ever will In my
lifetime. I quickly made note of this and decided in order for there to be
growth – there needs to be discipline! 2+2=4. However, Paris
– be it in the water or tea, I have said no to very little. It has put a spell
on me.
Paris, you have bewitched me body and soul.
And have lead
me to want to
1. Smoke a
lot of cigarettes. Something I
not only think is disgusting but not even an option for a life choice. In fact
I think its suicide for procrastinators but STILL! its a natural part of
the day for Parisians. Go to the bathroom, drink coffee, smoke, drink coffee, breathe,
go to the bathroom, smoke.eat.smoke sleep smoke. drink.
2. Wear red
lipstick. It doesn’t matter if you’re running to la poste or to the
club. Parisians rock it. All the
time. In fact it may be safe to say women wear rouge more than bras (see 4)
3. Skip
dinner. Head straight for the dessert menu. French sweets are explosions of paradise in your mouth. I
have yet to say no to it. The family takes us out very often too. This is
dangerous.
4. Not wear
a bra. Which is funny because there is kind of an unspoken law among
American girls: If you’re an A or a perky B you’re probably ok to leave the
straps at home but here it really doesn’t matter how high or wide they’re
chillen. Apparently it’s not weird for occasional nip action. I teeter in a b or c so this is also
dangerous. Perhaps if I start smoking I will regress and also get to join in on
this one.
5. Not
smile. I read somewhere that
Parisians do this, I rolled my eyes but then I got here and realized: its true.
Heres why: Parisians don’t like anything.
Smiling says your’re easy. Or easily
amused- and which one is worse? we can’t have that.
6. Drink
champagne. Valerie only drinks champagne. So when we are out , anytime of
the day, which is often as I said and its offered to me- I of course say
yes. EXPENSIVE CHAMPAGNE IN FRANCE
THAT IM NOT PAYING FOR? Of course I will say yes. Everytime.
