Be My True Love (for the day???)


When you really get down to thinking about it, the concept of expressing the depth of your amour and the violence of your affections specifically once a year is rather silly. Any day is as good as the next. So why wait?

Ok, I am well aware that my commentary is rather trite, especially along the lines of "Valentine's is sooooo overrated". I go more with "Valentine's is soooo overdone". You should see the decor in my office. It's all rather pretty though, I must say.

So again, I got another bouquet. Red roses this time. Very pretty too, and they smell nice. Which is a step-up from last year's bouquet. Mixed flowers (no idea of the names) and the smell reminded me of toilet freshner. While that may seem harsh on the sender, keep in mind that air freshners aim to mimic the smells their different flavours are supposed to be on about, so that's a complement really. Depending on your perspectives.

Anyhoos, I'm mid-contemplation of selling it to Dr. Fey, but we still haggling on the price. Really, sender won't know that I didn't keep it, and if I do, it'll just wilt after all is said and done. Not exactly like I'm motivated to keep the darn thing anyways. I believe the accompanying card read something to the effect of: "Despite your flaws, here are 7 roses for the girl whom I consider perfect (for him, of course. What about me?!?). What a to-do, what a to-do. I could do with the extra cash though....

Speaking of which, people seem to tip more on such days. Or perhaps I'm not so un-easy on the eyes afterall. Whatever the case may be, I reckon I've accrued enough to last me through next week.

Halleluyah!

?

Do I have an innate desire to continually hurt myself? Hold myself back?? Not progress??? Irrespective of appearances, I only fool myself if I crawl forward, and then run back at the slightest invitation.

To be free, and truly free indeed. What more could anyone ask for? To love and be loved in return. To love those who love you. More importantly, to love those who do not return the favour.

The LORD is my refuge and my strength.

Together Again

There we were, all seated around the table. Laughing our heads off. It felt really nice to have (most of) the crew back together again. Can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

It's almost amazing how influencial friends can be in your life. I found myself contemplating things and people which I never would have on a good day. When I got back home, it was like a veil had been lifted off my mind. Jumping men? Really?!? As if.

Another year has come and gone, and Valentine is down the road once more. Fortunately for moi, I will be off that weekend, so I'm thinking I'll catch up on all those movies which I've been piling up since last year. Its amusing how its mostly assumed that I'm so fully booked, I'm practically collapsing under the weight of all my appointments for the day. Don't i just wish. However, what I DO wish is for not to get any flowers. SERIOUSLY!!!! I am so backed up for cash right now, I promise anything that's not edible (and I can only eat so much) WILL be a waste. So please, give me money (or ask me first). So far, this saturday looks to be just me, my music and books. And movies, of course. And Lee's beading expedition. And the block-work masses. Can't forget them. {Joy}.

There's this Fred Hammond song "Give me a clean Heart", which I am sooooo loving right now. I can really relate to the lyrics, and it just ... speaks out to me. And I'm sure, if i keep listening to it non-stop for another evening, Dr. Fey is going to have an aneurism. *smiling*
