February 14th Day
Alright, so I haven't written in a long time (I'm sure no one has noticed or cared that much). But since I hate writing about my life, I might as well add this little story that is the BEST story ever, especially since I've done the most gutsy thing ever. So, I'm sure you remember my crush on the girl-next-door (I love saying that---so hot). Well, I decided, after much pushing and prodding from my friends, to buy her a flower for Valentine's Day. So I got up at the crack of dawn today and drove to Jeffrey's Flower Shop on Louther St. I step inside and say "I'd like a single tulip if you got 'em!"
"I'm sorry sir, we only have bundles of ten for $15.00."
"Well, shit. How about a daffodil then?" So she pulls out the daffodil and says, "These are $2.00 a piece."
Just then the guy standing next to me buying his flowers says, "You just want one tulip? Here, dude, take this one. These are all extras anyway," and just GIVES me a tulip.
So the lady says, "Do you want one flower or both?"
"I'll just take the two, if that's alright." Well, she must have heard "two"-lip because she put the other flower away and I figured, maybe that's just as well. So I held my tongue. So here I am, standing in the florist shop with a flower I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR and wondering what to write. I pick up a card and it hits me. A few days ago we were talking online (my mysterious woman and I) and she asked how I was doing. Totally stressed, says I. She suggested that when you get like that you should just close your eyes and say "om." (If you're a girl and reading this--I'm damn proud of this next line). So I thought, "I'm going to personalize this message."
"Just a little 'om' from me to you. Hope you have a great day!"
