Or... imagine that all the veiled machinations are poorly disguised attempts to hide some wonderful surprise from you like a big promotion party! There'll be balloons and cake and a karaoke machine and confetti! It's still unknown, but it's a pleasant thought, it's one that all your efforts can effect exactly the same amount influence, BUT it's nicer to have on your mind hour after hour, minute after minute. You can imagine all the nice presents you're gonna get, imagine your pleasant surprise to get two cards because one wasn't big enough to hold all the congratulatory signatures. Think how the sidler's careful attention all this time was really for the purpose of scoping out your favorite songs so that the music would be made up of your all time greatest favorites, ones you really like to sing along with (hence the karaoke machine, eh? eh?). Think how bad they'll feel when you tell them you were worried, that you knew something was up, but you thought it was gonna be bad. They'll be so sad, they'll cry for causing you so much turmoil. But then another great song will come up and one of them will grab your hand and start to drag you to the microphone, which will make for more laughs because you'd just taken a big bite of cake and as you try to protest you spray crumbs everywhere and everybody laughs.
It could happen. Or not, but it is nicer scenery don'cha think?
