Allow me to give a little bit of insight before you go off a-reading my base endeavors. I'll be brief; who needs a novel when a punchy anecdote and arsenic will do? So, in preface, everyone has their ups, and if there are ups, there will most assuredly be downs...
"Down, down I come, like blist'ring Phaeton!"
Interpret the headings accordingly, and don't get lost,
"Speak in French when you can't think of the English for a thing - turn out your toes as you walk - and remember who you are!"
