Some of my new friends at the Anaheim Ballet took me out last night after rehearsal. I had to do a tequila shot with training wheels as my initiation. Not the worst initiation in the world, I have to say. I didn't drink too much, so I'm fine today. Everyone there is super fun with the exception of maybe three people who have been professional, but not very welcoming. I'm sure it's just because I'm new.

	I do not remember it happening but I do remember being yelled at by my father for it! That is why I do not get that drunk in public anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, wow, if either of my parents ever caught me drunk I don't know what would happen. They would maybe die of heart attacks or possibly drag me back to Ohio and force me into a nunnery. Either is likely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, that is unfortunate to hear, tres mal! It is only drink. There are worse things you could do. My parents are more relaxed. Or they have learned to be. It is tradition in my family that my mother and I, we get very drunk together at Christmas. Papa is more concerned with it than she is though. It makes him look bad if I am getting arrested in foreign countries.

	See, I'd love to let loose with my mother like that. My mother is a little strict and my father just sort of follows suit. Why is your father so concerned about looking bad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maman does not care, she is usually too, how do they say here, shitfaced? She is too shitfaced to notice what I do. So we drink next to each other, it is how we bond. Papa does business, and I apparently hurt that business. His enemies can use me against him. I think that he is paranoid and thinks that he is more important than he is, but I have also limited how many times I disrobe in foreign countries. In public anyway.

It is sad to hear that your parents are strict, but you seem to be very well adjusted. Felicitations.

	It's a fun way to bond, at least. Being paranoid can drive a person crazy. Maybe it's for the best that you limit the public nudity, though? Since in most places it's illegal and all. Freeing, but illegal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is interesting. Very quiet. We do not talk much, which is why I must talk so much to everyone else. He is very what I would say is crazy, it is why I did not want to do business like him. Art will also one crazy but it is a different type. All of the best things in life are illegal, ma'mselle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like hearing you talk! You're a friendly guy! Business is only for a certain type of person. I could never do it. I'm meant to dance. I'm barely meant to serve tea. I would argue that there are some legal things that are even better than the illegal things, but you could probably argue that I haven't dabbled much in the illegal.

Do not tell me that, you will never have a minute of peace. It is for a certain type only, yes, that is true, and I am not that type. It is good to know that I am in better company than previously thought.

I would not have expected you too. I have dabbled in many illegal things, probably more than I have legal. Maybe that is why I think that and you think what you do.

	Well, it's better than silence, isn't it? But I'll take your advice. You have to sell a little bit of your soul to do business. Some might argue that you have to do the same in the arts, but it's very different. Probably! Maybe my opinion will change with time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There are some who have met me who would say that silence is preferable. They are probably right, I am so used to the sound of my own voice that I do not hear it anymore. I do not have a soul, this is probably why I am not successful in either business or art. But I believe that all businessmen do not have souls either, so this is probably true.

I hope that it does not, for your safety. I have won my knowledge the hard way and it is very painful.

	Everyone has to suffer a little eventually. That's the way life goes. If you haven't yet, it's coming. (Reply to this) (Parent)
