Moderately screwed. On the one hand, I’d get to put on an impressive [show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Thunderstorm_in_sydney_2000x1500.png) in the sky. 😃 On the other hand, I’d blow my wad on the lightning show and then fizzle out in a day or so. At least I’d go out with a bang. 😃 ---

With the aid of a little googling to see what transpired, it turns out that I have become a Korean boy band. So there are now three of me, and I can’t understand a word I’m saying. Actually, that’s not too far wrong… ---

I would be played by Prunella Scales and live in a charming Georgian house on England’s south-eastern coast that used to belong to Henry James–a house which I will eventually sell to my most hated social rival. I also have to look forward to being swept out to sea in a flood with the same social rival upon an upturned kitchen table, spending the next six months on a Norwegian fishing trawler in the North Sea before we are brought safely home, and then marriage to a blustering, somewhat tipsy retired colonial Major. ---

I am just slightly more decorative than would be considered useful. I mean, I’m pretty, and all, but where would you put me? I just don’t go with anything in the house. ---
