[”honest” used to mean “virgin”]

Weird, huh? Looking for an honest relationship was something completely different. I imagine the phrase “I’d like to be honest with you” carried a good deal of disappointment, followed by frustration.

I was going through some of my old poetry a second ago and threw up in my mouth a little bit. I knew I didn’t hold onto things long for a reason.

My room inexplicably smells like teen spirit.

Not really. It smells like flowers. I don’t quite understand what the appeal of flowers are in a romantic sense. Yeah sure, they’re pretty and they smell nice, but they’re kinda pointless. I also find it ironic that flowers are a welcomed token of affection for both a first date and a funeral. There should be some distinction in gift-giving acceptability here.

This is sorta making my nose itch.

The last date I went on was a while ago. We wandered around Best Buy and held hands when we weren’t playing the sample video games. I don’t really think I’m the romantic type. But for the record, I’ll take daisies over roses.

I have to be up in 5 hours.

Ugh.

    I’ve never really understood the whole flowers thing either. I also haven’t heard of many people giving them out on a first date. I’ve given flowers to my (women) friends either in an attempt to cheer them up or make them feel special though…

    At funerals, maybe the flowers serve as a scapegoat for the mourners’ anger; i.e. we’re all sad/ticked off because you’re dead, so we’re going to kill some flowers in an attempt to avenge you.

    I’m under the influence….nothing I say can be used against me.

    I’d rather play video games at my house. Or buy the video game and take it back to my house.

    When I was in high school I had this great rant about flowers for funerals, but I looked at it where flowers were living, not dying. I thought they conveyed the messaged, “Hey, sorry someone you really loved just died. Here’s something living and beautiful to rub it in.”
    I like Ben’s avenging idea better though.

    Ohhh, killing flowers as revenge. Good idea.

    What does that say about Mother’s Day though?

    I was formulating a semi-intelligent response…..it involved the Oedipus and Electra complexes and a lot of other stuffs that I got bored with very quickly. For now, let’s just pretend that giving flowers on occasions not involving someone’s death, do not follow my drug-induced ideas.
    Any reason you chose daisies?
    According to ye old wikipedia….
