_______________________
Well...you have to begin somewhere in any good storytelling! Without further ado, here is an introduction to how I went from my lofty cloud days as a Celestial Being, to finding my way down to Earth and getting lost in the process.
It takes forever for the application (yes dear readers -- paperwork, ha!) to be received after you put in a request, of course! Then you have to fill it in (and they're quite a few pages), once completed it has to be made into a triplicate set as each Ward (aka department) requires a copy. Finally, before you hand it over for the process, you have to face THE SCALES!
