The same person who gave me the pretty flower -
(which i blue-tacked so it won't topple,
and fed its thirst away from a thimble sized container)
is also the same person
who shot suction pellets on my computer screen :s

and i actually tried to work this way
moving my eyes around the tiny
orange obstacle course
for a little while.

i wrinkle my nose.
go ahead people, feed my neurosis.
it gets better.

hahaha
...

A good scolding.

P: Don't be so nice. Don't tell people how wonderful you see them
anymore.
Stop showing them what a great person they can be
cause you think they are. They'll believe you cause you're earnest and
sincere and it shows that you mean it.
They won't know that the world probably don't see them
the same way - and yet eventually they will think
they're too good for you Louise.

P continues: And that guy? Only you would see that he has something
good in him.
And he's a bad person. But you don't see it do you?
You see confidence and a deep sense of self respect, and trust me,
others see
arrogance and a really bad attitude that is covering up for a very
big flaw.
He's common and boring, but you made him better simply by believing it.

I looked at P
and my shoulders feel heavier.
Not for the way she shamelessly put down someone i looked up to,
but because of the truth in the words she spoke.

The truest of all truths: My truth, is not necessarily yours.
