random quote of the day:
"Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate various important occasions, they're killing living creatures? Why restrict it to plants? "Sweetheart, let's make up. Have this deceased squirrel.""~The Washington Post
... that kind of sums up how I feel about all that cliche romantic bullshit. It amuses me when I hear girls complain about how their boyfriend didn't bring them flowers or didn't have the $ to take them out to a fancy resturaunt on x special day. --
I'm certainly a sap, but I prefer something that has actual thought put into it... instead of the boring old flowers. "You got me flowers? Oh, uh, thanks... now i'll go put these in water and they'll look pretty for a while until they wither away." -- Seriously, though, $ does not impress me. You want to do something sweet for me, donate some $ to a charity in my name or something. Buy some supplies for a school in the projects that cannot even afford paper.
Flowers? What a fucking waste.

Indeed. The best gift I ever received from a boyfriend is a stained glass lampshade that he made himself. Lovely.

Yay! Let's kill more plants to unthoughtfully express an emotion that we're faking. Personally if I'm going to give flowers at all, I'm going to do a little research. What's her favorite flower, what flowers make the best statement about how I feel. Or I'd plant a flower garden for someone really special to me (whom I haven't found yet)
