Maybe I should join the circus.

The circus? Whatever would you do there?

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Maybe the trapeze. I've never done it but I used to do gymnastics. I'm not afraid of heights. Who knows. It might be fun.

[rosemarymemory.livejournal.com]

A gymnast! You're quite daring.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Heh. Hardly. I'm scared of so many things. Heights just aren't one of them.

[rosemarymemory.livejournal.com]

I daresay I would never be brave enough to try that, though.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Not even with a cord and a net?

[rosemarymemory.livejournal.com]

I - I am not that daring.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Are you afraid of heights?

[rosemarymemory.livejournal.com]

A bit, yes.

But clowns are terrifying and eat the souls of puppies and... orangutans.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

I'm Catholic. You'd have to convince me first that puppies and orangutans have souls. *teases lightly*

[im-halfway-home.livejournal.com]

All you have to do is look at one! With those... big, pouty, watery eyes. Humans can barely pull that off. I'm pretty sure we're the ones without souls and they're the ones who are laughing it up in Heaven while we're burning away.

Then again... I've never been much of a practicing-religion kind of guy.

*Giggles* It's okay. I don't really think they are soulless. I'm not sure what to think of them but they are God's creatures too so I'm sure he has a plan for them too.

Clowns aren't evil though. They are just people (http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/18332.jpg) in costumes trying to make people smile.

BAH! *shields eyes* Even that child looks like he's going to eat my so-much-better-than-a-puppy's soul!! It's just not RIGHT. They get all... in your face and throw confetti that has probably been made from innards or something!

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Oh jeez, now you are just being silly. That baby is adorable. I want to squish his cheeks.

[im-halfway-home.livejournal.com]

I love kids! I want to work with kids! But if they come in dressed as clowns I'm sending them elsewhere!

I wonder if I have to put a sign up at the desk or something for that.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

*Eyes him strangely* Are you serious? Clowns really scare you?

[lost-harlequin.livejournal.com]

It's an interesting, but understandable temptation.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Did you ever want to be in the circus as a kid?

[lost-harlequin.livejournal.com]

*small smile* I suppose I did. Running away, joining the circus... all the usual quixotic childhood fantasies.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

We moved around a lot when I was a kid and I liked to pretend that we were circus folk. *laughs at herself a little* I even taught myself to juggle.

[lost-harlequin.livejournal.com]

That's cute. And it never hurts to know a parlor trick or two.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Do you have one? A parlor trick?

[lost-harlequin.livejournal.com]

Well... Not really. I used to be a gymnast, but I can't really do anything else flashy.

[angelica-jinx.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Me too. Just as a teenager though. I haven't done it in a few years.
