It was William Shakespeare?s birthday on the 23rd. Just for fun you understand I thought what if Will was a CD?er and joined this site, what would his intro look like?

I greet the good people all for I?m Willameda and to thee I look for such advice as the make a head that spins find stillness. Gather ye one and all as my tale to tell is one of trials and tribulations, born of guilt and loathing the likes of which have not been seen for many a year, good folk I tell thee all that such doubts have I that from dawn to dusk I am pained and griped with such angst as if brought upon me by the devil himself.

My loving wife, so fair and the very pillar of my existence haveth no notion of my turmoil as this dark secret I hold close to my bosom, held tightly for fear it might escape and reveal me to the world, my life played out for all to see as if upon a stage.

I see upon that stage those actors who play the part of a comely woman and I?m so engulfed in deepest despair by the knowledge that I will never be able to let an audience see my woeful caricature for fear of ridicule and the critics harsh words that cut like a rapier blade to the heart.

Oh how I long for the taste of freedom so many of the fair maids here doth know. Alas, these walls in which I live are but a prison one in which I sit longingly dream filled of warm breezes and sunlit sky?s, sky?s that I?ll ever walk under for fear of the howl of the mob, cruellest words and deeds to shame my very existence.

Kindest of people, I submit my tale hoping for some crumbs of comfort. As the moth is drawn to the flame so I am drawn to this world of petticoats and corsets, softest of cloth and hose and sweet smelling potions that drift upon a night?s breeze. Will I ever be free of this or am I forever ensnared by this mistress?s guile?

Hugs
Wills.
