I found a red rose in the middle of the road on my down to an interpretation assingment today. It was frozen solid but apart from that it was in almost perfect condition. Somebody must have dropped it there. Odd place to drop it.
I picked it up and brought it with me to my assignment. People probably thought it was a rose that had been given to. I wonder if people thought it odd that I had picked it up from the road. Is that an odd thing to do? I don't think so. I'm a sucker for roses, and I somehow think that they're living things and it seemed ashamed to just let it lay there and freeze.
It's soaking in warm water in my sink, and we'll see if it's beyond salvation or not. The poor thing looks pretty beaten up now. But, today is not the day to be giving up on symbols of love, so I should at least give it a shot.
Other than that, this day has been commemorated with a gift from Nick, which I didn't like, I'm ashamed to say. He went out and splurged and bought this rather overpriced eau de toilette called Pink Sugar. It's very sweet smelling, rather like vanilla. I wish I liked it but I don't really care for scents in general, especially not if they're sweet and strong. The only scent that I have continued to stand is White Musk. I have bought expensive perfumes over the years and even though I love them when I first get them I always tire of them after a little while I and then I can't even stand to smell them again. My nose stings and I associate the smell with events and settings from when I wore the scent and everytime I smell it it reminds me of that time, which is not always a good thing.
Anyway, this Pink Sugar is very sweet and sticky but I suppose I will wear it sometimes anyway, for Nick's sake. I would have been perfectly happy with chocolates though, but oh well. He meant well.

Perfume is something I don't ever buy for myself, so it is nice to get it as a gift sometimes. But yes, some are really strong so I don't feel comfortable using them. I still have my mom's perfumes and I put some on once and I just felt like I was walking around drenched in it. Eau de toilettes are better because they are lighter and more refreshing. White musk is nice.
Still, flowers are I think one of the nicest things to receive from someone. I think they really represent the fact that it's the thought that counts when it comes to gifts. So "useless" but so pretty.
As for chocolate, you can't ever go wrong with chocolate. That is always welcome, anytime anywhere hehe
I love getting flowers too. It's so rare to get that and everytime it's really nice, as well as chocolate. It doesn't have to be grand and expensive.
Flowers over a Louis Vuitton bag any day.
I don't know if I'd know a Louis Vuitton bag if it hit me over the head. I don't care about brand names. Brand names are for clones.
; P
Flowers!
