"If music be the food of love, play on,

Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken, and so die."

~ William Shakespeare - "Twelfth Night" - in which Duke Orsino is hopelessly pursuing a women named Olivia who does not love him but instead loves a woman who is disguised as a man who loves the Duke. This she/man has a twin brother who has won the heart of Olivia who turns out to be the sister of the Duke anyway - bummer. Not surprisingly due to this tangled web of love and deceit Duke Orsino declares his frustration and asks for an abundance of love so that he will lose his appetite for it, but marries the she/man/twin all the same - cHeRRy.

pay no attention to your friends popping out copious amounts of offspring with ease
cry your heart out every so often
read the small print BEFORE you sign your life away
learn how to make real pasta - you won't be sorry!
pop a mono
wash the prolapsed uterus before returning it to it's rightful place - but of course you would
clap at someone annoying today
take your shower cap off before going to work and commuting on a train (someone elses true story)
do the zip up at the back of your skirt when you are wearing a G-string and working as a "change girl" handing out money at the Casino (true story)
sing in the shower
laugh at yourself when you fall over in a pit of mud and land unfashionably face first
pen a long letter to someone special
tell your mum you love her today
stock up on the wine when you decide to spend a weekend on the farm shifting sheep with Justin
look at the sky and daydream
take your favourite swiss army pocket knife out of your pocket when you try to enter a NZ Court house looking for a JP
