I make pudding from scratch. I see all the stages of trace when I do.
Well, a good thing then, that we have this forum to empty out some of the crazy quirky things we obtain from soaping. I mean, if anyone on the "outside" knew about how we develop a way to see everyday things from a soapy perspective, they would take our stickblenders and spatulas away from us and lock us up and throw away the key. Imagine the withdrawals... *shiver*.
Great. Now I totally get an image in my head of lonely soapers with the shakes, hovering down, sneaking off to look for some lye and oils and end up on the black market paying top dollar for a beat-up stickblender with a frazzled connection.
Whispering voice with Jamaican accent:
*psst*
- Psst,
man! Over here.
- Yeah?
*soaper with heavy withdrawals turing around*.
- Are you looking for a plastic bowl,
man? I got one for yah, real cheap,
man. Not a scratch in it, nevah been used!
- Yeah, but it has to be safe for mixing lye in it, though. Is it?
- SURE, man, suuuure, nooo problem,
man, it is plastic marked 5 pp. Totally safe to use with lye water! Wanna?
*looks around with suspicious look to see if anyone is watching*.
-Sure, how much?
-Ten bucks, man, real cheap,
man.
-TEN bucks?? Ten..? Are you crazy?
*lowering voice and looks around to see if anyone heard the outburst* - Ten bucks is way to much, dude, seriously!
- If you can`t afford it I got other bidders,
man, no skin off my teeth,
man... *starts to walk off with bowl*
- Wait-wait-wait
, ok, ok. Let me take look at it first.
*turns bowl upside down to check for the symbol* - Ok, Ok, but all I got is nine dollars left. That stickblender really tapped me out, dude.
- Ok, I`ll take your nine bucks. But remember, it is only of the goodness of my heart that I do this for you, you know? You hear me? I am a
hu-man-a-taaaarian, I try and do my bit,
man. I could have gotten ten bucks for this,
man. Ok?
- Ok, whatever, dude. Give me the bowl - give it!
*stretches shivering hands to grab the bowl*
Fading scene:
With the bowl in hand the lone soaper moves towards the closest puddle, to get some rainwater for the lye. As he bends down the closeup focus on the soapers face, and we see the soaper calms down more and more as the puddle of rainwater fills up the plastic bowl. The shaking subsides.
End scene, fade into black.
(See what I mean? I should have been locked up somewhere....*sigh*)
