more about my tree =)
i think i had something specific to write a second ago, but i've since forgotten, and simultaneously remembered something gorgeous, so i'll switch topics =)
so the other day i was walking home with a friend and remember that tree that i like outside my apartment? remember those ugly green pods that were on it? THEY POPPED! and you know what came out? WHITE FLUFF! it was SO cute...the green peels split apart, revealing the softest cotton--kind of like concentrated dandelion fluff, and it's spilling all over the front of my apartment. they're finally gone! those stupid green pods actually produced something CUTE and PRETTY! =) =) ...haha, this entry could have been a lot more poetic, but can't you tell i'm excited? I think my friend thought i was a little crazy (i don't think he's used to my silly side...actually, come to think of it, not many gracers have even seen my silly side...)
So you'll forgive my poor use of my favorite language. if you'll also forgive my expanding more on such a boring subject, on closer inspection, my tree seems to have some wicked thorns all over every stem and branch. Not thorns like needles, thorns like rose thorns except about 4 times bigger. They are perfect right cones. And painful looking. I guess beauty has a price. But these days, the tree is shrouding her dangerous weapons quite gracefully with lush green foliage that i have SO missed in the last few months.
hm, i'm noticing that depending on the books i'm currently reading, my writing style changes a bit. i just read the last paragraph and am shocked to find myself sounding like Katy from Stepping Heavenward, which I haven't finished yet because I'm enjoying every entry in it. Each page has such good examples and advice for me that i can't help (even though it's a novel) wanting to thoroughly digest each sentence she writes.
so in other news, my apartment is GORGEOUS right now =) my apt-mates decorated it for my birthday with pink and green and white streamers hanging from the ceiling (katie's streamers and aileen's style choice and luz's hard work) with green and white balloons everywhere. i love my roomes =)
ok, i'm off! unless of course i remember what i wanted to write originally, in which case i'll be back =) ciao!
