Thus Sayeth Malinda

[saffronhare]

My alter-ego, Malinda, is keeping up a running commentary in my head today. She is...as always....disconcerting, inappropriate, and mellifluous.

Yay?

Ooooooo Malinda. I implore you to begin your own blog. Pretty please with marshmellow fluff and glitter sprinkles on top?

Heavens! What ever would I say in such a venue?

Malinda would say "Yayus."

Actually, I think she would say, "how lovely" or "hurrah," because she likes how husky the "h" sound can be.

Odd, my wife's name is Malinda. And the adjetive apply....

That's right!

This particular Malinda is a character of mine, briefly unveiled but never forgotten. She's an aging beauty queen mermaid, very likely from the Gulf Coast. Sort of a Julia Sugarbaker.

We'd been asked to improvise a character, using 3-5 physical/vocal elements to portray a personality in a very short period of time. I positioned myself as if I were on a "fainting couch," softly lifting my "fins" every once in a while; twirled an imaginary parisol; and rolled out the accent. She was having some trouble relinquishing her crown to a younger, firmer mermaid.

My peanut gallery is also disconcerting, frequently vulgar, usually hilarious, always inappropriate; and more than anything, makes me appreciate those friends that are close enough to me that I can tell what 'the voice in my head' says at any given time.
