Topic: The Chair that changed my life...
I was sitting on a bench in the Mall, enjoying a vanilla smoothie, surfing the web beginning to suspect my friend forgot about our plans, When I over heard a conversation.
A young couple had stopped in front of small curtained booth that the Chair. The boy pulled the girl into a hug and said, "Hey babe, you remember how cute you looked dressed up like a cat last Halloween? You'd look even better with a REAL tail."
The girl giggled at first, then spoke, "Wait, you're serious. You want me to sit the that thing and ask grow a tail?"
The boy stroked her hair, "Yes. It'll look so good on you. Besides if you don't like it we can come back tomorrow and get rid of it."
The girl blushed, "I don't know... Maybe I could try it out for a day or two. But I don't know how to use IT."
The boy kissed her forehead, "I know someone who used it. They told me about this website that teaches you how to use the Chair. I went there. You can let me do the hard stuff. I'll walk you through how. Okay?"
The girl swats him playfully, I think, "You planned this didn't you? Oh, Okay. Lets go in and grow me a tail."
The couple then entered through the curtain. A few minutes later they came back out, the girl was hanging off his arm and if the way her new fluffy was moving is any indication, she was very happy. But this got me thinking, that girl probably had no idea how much control she could be giving away. How easily it could become a disaster for her. And of course how narrowly I avoided one of my own. So, I pull up Chair-Meister's Blog and start typing...
Some of you may know me from the boards here as ZipperGirl, but you do not yet know my story. I warn you now, it's not all sunshine and smiles and the happy ending was not always so certain. It started some weeks ago not long after the Chair started to gain fame...
