There's a lily in a vase and I touched it. It'll be dead by the time I get back to the office tomorrow morning, but at one sunny time I smeared my thumb and the thumbprint held, so it's mine. I ached to pluck a petal and battled against it.
People say ridiculous things, like "if you want something enough hard enough, you will get it." Fucking liars. I doubt they ever wanted anything, they just believed it was theirs.

I'm not entirely sure why I love this. All I know is that it made me smile.
If I think of all the things I yearned for and never got, it would be a boy. Not just any boy. My life seems to be littered with unrequited love/yearning/desire.
one of my friends used to say "wish in one hand, and shit in the other. see which one fills up first...". i always thought it was just gross. but eventually i realized she was just pointing out the futility of hoping, wishing and wanting....
People just hate to see people they care about suffer. Because we're all wussies, and we don't believe all that bullshit we say about building character. Sorry about your jacket.
Also, a fingerprint on a lily may be the most heartbreakingly romantic thing I've ever heard. (In the Don Quixote way, not the Julia Roberts way)
Possession and thumbprints are 9/10ths of the law. That's why I wear gloves, because I am above the law.
I've wanted Adriana Lima and haven't gotten her yet. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Rassles why can't you and RF get together? I'd bring lilies to your wedding
What is it you want?
Sid: I'm glad it made you smile, although it makes me frustrated.
Daisy: Futile is right.
Chris:
RF: I was sure you were going to say you didn't have thumbprints.
Del-V: See, people know nothing of want.
Nurse: Is that what you want? What if he gets all frustrated when I wear flip flops? We would have to move Iceland, and I hear the internet there is bonky.
FF: Job stuff. I want a new one. More importantly, I want to know what kind of job I should look for since my current job is a fucking joke. Don't get me wrong, I love non-profit stuff, but the more specialized my job gets the more menial it becomes. Doing the same thing all day. I might crack.
We can move to Finland, where they've declared Internet access to be a basic human right. I wonder if they have roller derby there...
And we'll offset your flip-flops with some hot boots. It's like carbon offsetting, except with footwear.
Chris, I'm sorry that I blanked out on your response. I fail.
and I've always identified more with Don Quixote than Julia Roberts.
Finland and roller derby and boots? I get the feeling this is an RF fantasy and not a Rassles fantasy. I demand Beastie Boys whenever I want, Puma Romas, and a sled shaped like a bullet.
Deal!
Shit's about to get real.
Can I be bridesmaid?
Fun facts for low-lifes #63- If you put crazy glue on your fingers you won't leave any prints.
Fun facts for Kono: I am not allowed to use any form of glue, because last time I glued all of my fingers together and I couldn't do shit for days.
Sucked.
Like Sid. Not sure why I like this. I feel the frustration. I think I agree.
chillllllllllll.
Did you stop drinking, thus cutting off the well of poignant thoughts?
We still need the end of the story about the casino cops and your sister.
Me too Rassy.
