The E-Mail I Should Have Sent

Dear Homeowner Serfs,
This is your HOA Empress speaking. According to our By-Laws, I'm supposed to allow you pitiful nothings an annual meeting where you get to vote in new figurehead board members and approve a budget.

Yeah. Whatever. A budget. SNORT! The budget may say that we're using your money to pay for landscaping and pool maintenance. But actually? I'll be parking a Chevy Corvette in my garage and putting a down payment on my vacation home in Bonaire.

The only problem is that I need a quorum of homeowners to vote on this nonsense and you idiots? Aren't giving me said quorum. That little slip of paper? That you found in your mailbox last week? That says "Aw, shucks! I can't make it to the meeting! Just let Empress Heather vote on my behalf because she's just swell!" You must sign your name to it (or an X, you uneducated buffoons) and hand it over and don't even bother coming to the meeting. I'll approve the Bonaire/Corvette budget and vote my three best friends in the director positions. Even though said friends don't live here. But I don't care. Because I'm the HOA Empress.

So, just stay at home, eat your gruel, and live in fear. After all, isn't that how dictatorships work?

Sincerely,
Her Imperial Highness Heather

I'm a little intimidated. Glad my 'hood doesn't have an HOA.

I'd so sign such a slip.

Forget putting those sheets in everyone's mailbox. Just pull out some Ticonderogas and have the kids practice the letter 'X' on them.

Hell, while you're at it, vote yourself in as Goddess. Emporess has its privileges and all, but Goddess sounds waaaaay better.

I've always thought that dictatorship was the way to go, particularly the more I see democracy in action.

Other Heather - Totally!

Father Muskrat - As well you should be. "Intimidating Bitch" is my middle name.

Patois - Thanks, hon!

Employee No. 3699 - Oooooh! You're a genius!

Giggle Pixie - So very true. Goddess Heather does have a nice ring to it.

Sybil Law - As well you should be. :)

A Free Man - And I'm just the dictator this joint needs!

When you can beat 'em, join 'em. Then take over so you can hear the Imperial March played for you in the streets as you survey your domain.

NATUI - Dude. I may just have that shit playing at the meetings, anyway!
