• Flowers

  Happy Father's Day...

  
  

  I had always wished to receive flowers for something.  I don't know why, I guess it's just one of those things that people hope to receive once in their lifetimes--indeed, it is a total waste--the flowers wilt before long, and their vibrant colors fade, but it is the gesture that seems pleasant. 

  
  

  Well, I felt touched when Dad bought me flowers for graduation.  Dad, who is usually a bit tight-fisted bought something useless!  And, of course, they're beautiful, as most flowers are.  Now, they are looking less lively.  They're petals are browning at the edges.  So, today I decided to clip a few, and smash them.  Not destructively, but the opposite--they're being pressed between assorted textbooks (mostly Chemistry) and wax-paper.

  Chapter 18

  
  

  You know how people talk about "chapters" of their lives?  A detailed book of each year of my life would be odd to see.  Luckily, I won't bore myself, or anyone else with that.  Xanga & Blogger do good jobs preserving my random thoughts.  It is strange, when I use Mozilla, my internet always dies when I get on Xanga...on Internet Explorer, it seems alright.  That might explain the poverty of posts of late.  I get really angry when the internet dies, so I decide not to post.  Oh well...I wonder why it does that? 

  
  

   

  
  

  I went to Books-a-Million the other day.  It was pretty pleasant, except it started to storm...
