Entry: thy flower withered on the stem Friday, August 20, 2004




thirsty

music: {sixpence none the richer - "kiss me"}



...There from thy daughter, sister, wife
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce,
Must feed thy living livid corpse.
Thy victims are they yet expire,
Shall know the for their sire;
As cursing thee, though cursing them,
Thy flower withered on the stem.

Lord Byron, The Giaour

not much has happened. yesterday was my dad's birthday, we made plans to go out to olive garden as a family. but it turned out that he was much too lazy to go out, so we just stayed home. instead, mom and i went to the italian place by dots to get bring home a little bit of italy for him. while our food was getting ready, mom took me to G+G to get nav a birthday present. i got her a nice little pink sweater-blouse-thing, something i'd never wear. then mom insisted on getting me something for her party. i wasn't in the mood to try on clothes, i rarely am. especially the clothes that she picks out. she tries so fûcking hard to make me normal. she forced me to try on this little black frilly number. i don't know wtf it was. she loved it on me, and i have to say it looked okay on me. but still, it wasn't something i would wear in public. if it doesn't have sleeves, and if i cant wear a sweater over it, then there's no effing way i'm leaving the house with it on. i don't care how "pretty" my mom says it looks, it's not comfortable. if i can't lounge in it, i'll never wear it.
so to compensate for my lack of the black frilly thing, she decided to buy me a few different things i would wear in front of people. a long black sweater/robe thing. itchy, but i can deal. and some kind of...white spaghetti strap with lace on the top. the lace is a little...extreme. i don't like it much, but i'll wear it to please her. then she got me perfume. it smells like mens cologne, so therefore, i love it. she liked it too, oddly enough, because she's always angry when ever i spray cologne on myself at the mall.... so it's a comforting smell, shut up. x_x
we went home, ate dinner, and dad and i watched Taking Lives. that angelina jolie and ethan hawke flick. ehhh... it was good. didn't make sense at times, but what can ya do? ethan hawke is annoying, but i love angelina jolie, so i was okay.
was it wrong for me to start liking ethan hawke after his character decapitated that old woman?

today isn't a big day either. i just finished watching QE. i love that show ;) i laughed, i cried, i pledged never-dying love to carson and kyan... ;x

well i'm going to go do my yoga. haven't done it in forever, i feel i'm not as limber as i once was. heh, i sound like the cliché version of a grandmother. later days.
