The Tale of Wanton Lust
Once upon a time, there was a girl who did her very best to be good and pure of thought and deed. Much like Snow White, she liked apples, cleaned up after her roommates and was kind to animals and midgets. All in all, this girl was pretty spiffy. One day, while riding the bus and thinking about the new John Fluevog shoes she was planning to buy, she looked up into a pair of smiling brown eyes set into a cute boy face. She smiled back, then looked out the window and fell back into her daydream about shoes. The boy sat down next to her, as it was the only empty seat on the bus, and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Wanton. Wanton Lust. What's your name?" She introduced herself and they continued their small talk until the girl's stop, at which point she said her polite goodbye and got off the bus. She never saw him again, but she began to find herself distracted by thoughts of Wanton Lust. Commercials on tv, movies, songs on the radio....everything reminded her of Wanton Lust. Eventually, she couldn't take thinking about him anymore and decided to go out and find him. She had to know once and for all what kind of spell Wanton Lust had cast upon her. She searched the city for him and sadly came up empty handed. Finally, she decided to give up. She vowed never to look for or think of him again. The very next day, she put on her headphones, cranked up Jimmy Eat World, got on the bus and worked on a crossword puzzle. A few minutes into the ride, she looked up to see Wanton Lust smiling down at her and asking if he could sit next to her in the only empty seat on the bus. She kicked him square in the nuts and got off at the next stop never to be heard from again.The moral of the story: when what you think you want comes looking for you after you don't want it anymore, the best thing to do is kick it square in the nuts and run away.
