"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Huh. I just bopped down the street for some lunch, and two young women were handing out free flowers. Red roses, to be exact, no doubt to promote a flower shop.

I ended up with a rose on the way to the deli. I ordered my food. As he was packaging up my soup, register boy asked, "So, would you rather get free flowers on the street, or flowers from your boyfriend?"

I blinked at him in confusion for a couple of minutes in 'does not compute' mode. The question was problematic because the default assumption was that I a) cared, b) had a boyfriend, and c) liked flowers. For the sake of argument, let's pretend all of the above are true, but then, I'd still need more data. Are the flowers from said non-existent boyfriend for a happy occasion, or did he screw up? Did he get me my favorite flowers, or just generic flowers because that's what you do when you're in a relationship? I mean, I need to know these facts in order to evaluate the question properly!

And that's when I realized I was insane.

A week of free ice cream? That's fantastic. Every place should do that.

Up with the sun

Anyone want to buy a used Honda Civic DX HB?

Me, assuming "DX HB" translates to "two-door."

Except I kind of already bought one this weekend.

It's very shiny and red.

Hi. I just read 900 posts, but then a kerfuffle started and I got skeered and forgot all I had read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want free ice cream! Maybe I'll see if the Starbucks by my house still has any by the time I get there. I love getting free stuff from stores I don't patronize.

Will kiwi fruits be OK in my desk drawer until I get home ~6, or should I put them in the fridge? The thing is, I'm afraid I'll forget them in the fridge.

And you might not believe this, but there is not a Starbucks within walking distance of where I work!

There's like nine around here. We're hatching plots to see how much we can get.

I can't imagine why not.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Are they claustrophobic kiwi fruits?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I took a cookie. I couldn't not take a cookie -- ita

I'ma try this at the grocery store.

I'll open the drawer every so often so they can see the light.

What is even happening?

And that's when I realized I was insane.

Yeah, but you've got it down in an unfairly endearing way.
