Lifetimes of Miss Maymi - Chapter 1.2

Today I got nocticed- all it took was for me to walk out of my house and into town!! I turned heads!!
But alas, it is not because I got star searched by the next big movie director- no I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes, and all because I escaped the evil claws of ice.
So what happened is, I went and started my Christmas shopping today, I know some of you very prepared people will be cowering in fear from my lack of organisation, (I'm talking to you, yes you, you who brought all the presents at the beginning of September!!) and just to let you cowerers know I'm still going to town tomorrow with my buddy ole pal Thomas Chichester, to go finish the rest of my shopping!!!
Anyway I was in town minding my own business when I hit an icy patch of pavement, I skidded forwards and could feel the pull of gravtiy, and the slow turning of other people's head in anitcipation of my humiliation, but AHA I stopped, stood there for a fraction of a second then got myself together, and with a quick smirk to those around me I stepped forward- I hit the deck faster than the speed of light- my brain was still telling me I was standing!! Until I heard the titters of those people around me, oh the shame, I bet it's all because I smirked!!
I pretty much ran around town after that getting what I needed, avoiding the gaze of others, and watching where I was walking!
I think I might take falling over as a new part of performing- it certainly got me noticed, and I may get further in my career (what IT is I have no clue as of yet), all because I can fall on my arse!!
But I made it home without further incident, and wrapped my presents to put under the tree- now I am usually the worlds worst person to wrap presents- does anyone watch the Miranda show on BBC- well her wrapping has been mine for the last 19 years!! But look at what I achieved today-

Aren't they wonderful! I was so proud that I took more than one photo!!
Even though I have had Christmas faerie lights up in my room since the beginning of December- I didn't really feel christmassy till I put the presents under the tree- so maybe this is why the super organised people out there buy presents in September, it means they are all nice and christmassy when it gets to December- not still trying to dredge up Christmas spirit 3 days before!!
I think I might do it differently next year...
