On Becoming A Muse

By Miss Behaving


After many years of holding various jobs, ranging from photo editing, museum event coordinator, caterer, restaurateur, and most recently the fakest job ever, Realtor- It has come to my attention that my real skills lie somewhere else. Now, that I have found what seems to be my true calling in life, the question now is how do I land this coveted career position that all my experience prior suites to a "T".

The general duties of a Muse are things that I do all ready, on a daily basis, for free, and areĀ  intrinsic to my personalty-so why not take the bold step and turn this hobby into a vocation.

1. we get to just hang about
2. we get to take up space in peoples' heads
3. clothing is entirely optional
4. as are wings
5. curves are celebrated
6. as is pale skin, red lips and dark hair
7. flitting around is encouraged
8. knocking or calling ahead seems rarely necessary
9. lots of falling out of your clothes, if worn, seems the norm
10. whispering or breathing in ears and on necks is consistent with duties
11. doling out unsolicited advice is apparently not frowned upon as being prying or overly assertive
12. no real schedule to adhere to
13. have not seen one muse with a cell phone or a watch on
14. being followed by woodland creatures or birds or butterflies of Reubenesque cherubs is to be expected

I have attached my resume, in case there are anyone needing to hire me on a contractual basis:


Miss Muse

Objective

To sleep late, then after coffee, come hang out with you and poke around in your mind, offering advice and whimsy, and fall out of my blouse. Will bring my own flowing sheets and parade of small woodland creatures.

  • Confidant for sensitive material and body parts
  • Provided much needed humor and light
  • Awakened dormant needs and desires
  • Attention to detail and to under-appreciated people
  • Brought back the idea of hand holding, smalls of backs, soft kisses and dancing in the kitchen

Ha, ha! How do you feel about co-musing? I would hate to kick out my current muse as she has done a fine job, but still, I am man enough to handle two muses at once. What do you say? Um...I'll supply the harp.

well mr. reilly....that is a very amusing and intruiging offer...i do, however have my muse rationed harp, it came with my retractable wings, but have you much in the way of a legion of cherubs and a lute?

Well done! (Who was your muse?)

People seem to forget; there is a Muse committee and perhaps a union. This was hinted at in one of the subplots of Xanadu. Now where did I put my roller skates?
