“Cynicism: an extension of ennui maintaining that not only are you bored, you are in a state of disbelief as well. And you cannot be convinced otherwise. More than a pose, it’s also a handy time saver. By deflating your companion’s enthusiasm, you can cut conversation in half.”
– Lisa Birnbach

I’d commission a tapestry of that saying, but that REEKS of the proletariat, whereas I am a woman of leisure and the descendent of royalty. Moreover, I am in DISBELIEF at the sort of kitsch on display in the average American household these days.
Hmmmm. I believe I must now take to my bed. I’m bored to TEARS.
