I want to live in a beautiful house with flowers...

Let's celebrate! My blog is 19 years old

Jesus Christ. Anyway.

A not so short story.

amyranth — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 06:17:07 GMT

I got this idea on the way home from work today. I'm not a writer, so please, bear with me.
Or, just don't click the link. Whatever.

Spring 2007

I haven't been back in town for long, only a week or two now, but this is the fourth
or fifth time that I've seen her.

She's so pretty.

I always notice what she's wearing. Today it's a deep red jacket, cream stripe across
the chest. Black on her legs and her feet. She wears cream around her throat and on
her hands. The days aren't warm enough for anyone, even me, to go completely
unprotected.

Her hair is a gorgeous shade of brown, like wet trees after a hot summer storm.
It twirls and moves with it's own life, I want to touch it and play with it.

She's so delicate looking, like a fresh bud on a plant.

One day. I'll talk to her.

Mid-Spring 2007

It's warmer now. I can spend more time doing my errands. Frequently, I see her. We
live only a small way away from each other. My path takes me by her almost every day.

Today, it's yellow. I've seen flowers that color, stunning. This color traps me,
warms me from the inside and gives me a skip to my heart.

As always her hair is tickled by the wind. I think it's longer now than it was when
I first saw her.

Tomorrow. I'll say Hello tomorrow.

Late Spring 2007

The days are longer and have a slow sweetness to them.

I saw her today. Blue. Almost like the sky, but also like the ocean at it's depth in
warm water. It went from her neck to her legs, and flowed around her.

Today was the first time I noticed that her eyes are like a tree silhouette at
sunset. That green, living color. I love it.

I swear. Tomorrow. It's not that hard.

Summer 2007

The heat is awful. I go from place to place, trying to get things done, and there's
no relief. The nights are cooler, but not by much.

Red. Like her Spring coat, but more like... warm weather red. Attracts the eye. Warms
my heart.

She warms my heart.

I almost said Hello! I think she's noticed me, I saw a smile yesterday.

Early Summer 2007

I did it!

She had white on. She was like her own light. I couldn't help myself! I don't think
she understood me though. I went over, and sat. I looked at her, and she finally
looked at me, dead in the eye.

She smiled and ducked, I love that!

And I said "Hello! How are you?"

And she looked at me, and for an aching moment, I was all she saw.

She didn't understand me, and I know because she tilted her head and eyed me.

Then, she got up and left.

But I said it!

Mid-Summer 2007

She spoke back!

I think we're going to have to overcome this voice problem. I can't tell what she's
saying!

She glowed in pink, it was later in the day. Hot, again. But that's the season for you.

But I said Hello! I told her that I thought she was pretty, like I flower I'd seen
somewhere before.

She smiled. I know she's happy. I think her words were good too, but I'm not sure.

As long as she smiles, my world is glad.

Maybe I should tell her that.

Late Summer 2007

I haven't been out lately. The days are long, hot. They keep me from my rounds.
I miss her. More often than I should.

But today was the first day in a long time. A very long time.
She recognized me. She was happy to see me too. A very familiar shade of green
covered her, seemed to keep her cool. Matched her eyes almost.

She said her words to me first. I still don't know what she says, but there's always
such joy! I wonder what she sounds like when she sings?

I talk back to her. Even though we don't speak the same, she understands, I think.

So I told her. How I felt, everything.

She smiled the whole time. She spoke to me, and left.

Was that a good thing?

Early Fall 2007

Cooling days mean I can only make brief trips now. I haven't seen her in a very long
time.

I wonder. Did she really understand what I said?

Did I upset her?

Why is she gone?

Late Fall 2007

I just.. I don't know.

I haven't seen her, I'm worried now. I don't think she-

Wait.

She's... there she is!

Hey! I.. OH.

oh.....

I see.

She has someone.

He's. He's like her. Hair the color of wet trees.

She doesn't understand me at all.
I thought she did.
I was so.. so...
Love?

Maybe.

Love.

Who knows. I couldn't tell you.

She doesn't care.

Why would she?

I'm just a bird, after all.

This was a post that didn't mean anything.

This means something.

Do it.

I don't care how hard it is. It's only your perception. Do it.

We can hold the ropes, but you still have to dig your feet into the sand to pull yourself out. We can't push you.

But we can pull you out when you reach the top. My hand is there, will you grab it?

MCR OWNZ UR MAMA!!

amyranth — Sat, 19 May 2007 18:38:05 GMT

Okay, so now MCR is on my List Of Bands I Will See In Concert No Matter What. FOREVER!!

Last night's show was beyond killer. I was a little worried with all the teeny-emo-bopsters around that it was going to be a lot of screaming and "RANDOM-BAND-MEMBER-HERE HAVE MY BABIESSSZZZ!!111ELEVENTLY", but thankfully it wasn't. Seems like the pit area was mostly people in my age group, which I will not complain about, except that a lot of the guys kept moshing on my toes.

However, I did score my new band hoodie, it has black roses on the front and My Chem's logo on the back. I wanted the one that came with the presale tickets, but I didn't buy it when I had the chance. I'll probably order it later when I get my VISA paid off a bit more.

Lessee.... I haven't updated in awhile, even though I've been keeping up with everyone else's LJS, My Space and Facebook. Not too much new is going on. Creighton and I bought the house, he got a new truck (pics later) and mom and dad are in the slow process of moving their stuff to CB. Aside from that, everyone is well as far as I know. At least on this end.

So, what's up-to-the-minute with you guys now?

Today, at 4:36 pm, the best dog ever died of cancer.

City Girl?

amyranth — Mon, 24 Apr 2006 04:44:11 GMT

Okay, so I want to buy this purse:

I love it. It's perfect, it's beautiful, and I'll probably get it in the tan/brown color.

But once I do, that will break my invisible shopping barrier. The one that prevents me from spending $800 on a pair of jeans, $90 on a shirt or well.... $168 on a purse (That's how much it is in store)

I mean, don't get me wrog, I have self control, but I mean.... It's justification, you know? Any hardcore shopper knows what I'm talking about, especially when it comes to things like purses.

And for the record, I've never spent more than $40 on a pair of jeans, a shirt or a pair of shoes....

So, the real question is, do I go for it? Do I buy a piece of leather to carry my crap around in? A $168 piece of leather for my Easily Under $50 Bunch of Crap?

Happy Halloween!!

A short, but very important update

amyranth — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 04:36:36 GMT

If you have A+ blood, and you can make it to a clinic, please donate

Here's why I am asking.

My Aunt (Great Aunt technically) has been in the hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia for the past two months fighting against some illness that the doctors can't seem to diagnose. Her body is destroying blood cells so fast that she needs a transfusion every two days. She also has three swollen Lymph Glands that they are testing for cancer, but they can't be sure. Last Tuesday there was no blood left in the Maritimes, and the Blood Services Centre had to put out an Alert which finally managed to collect one bag of blood for transfusion on Thursday from Winnipeg. (If you were that person, Thank you!)

So now you're saying "Geez Lacey, you barely know any of us, and yet you're asking us to give up something that keeps us all alive?". Heck even my close friends are probably dropping their jaws, because I myself am totally terrified of giving blood.

Here's why I can't do it:

I am under the weight restriction for blood donation. On top of that, I am currently unaware of what blood type I am so that I can donate. Therefore I am only asking those to do which I currently cannot do myself. If I could, I'd be there, as scared as I am, because she's FAMILY.

As bad as this sounds, even if she passes away, I hope they're able to diagnose her so that if it happens to someone else, that they can stop it in time...

I am knowingly making this entry public, and cross posting it in a few places, so I apologize if you see this more than once.

If anyone is able to help, thank you. Thank you so much. You'll never know how much this means to me and my family. And if anyone recognizes these symptoms, or is able to give me an idea of what we could be dealing with here, any information is much appreciated.

Once again, Thank you so very, very much.

This is the problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, and we know nothing about each other.

So ask. What do you wanna know?

Attention Friends List!

Seeing as today is my 22nd birthday, I am asking all of you to do ONE thing for me today.

I want all of you (no matter what time zone you are in, or therefore what day it actually IS when you read this) to have ONE alcoholic drink in my honour.

Okay, you can have 12 in my honour, I don't really care.

If you're legal, do it. If you're not (Anna and Sakkie >_>)... fake it or sneak the alcohol.

Meme time! (Open to boot!)

amyranth — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 03:31:04 GMT

Did we come together, at masked palatial balls?

amyranth — Mon, 29 Dec 2003 16:25:56 GMT

Last night we decided to go somehwere a little different for supper. Having already done chinese food last week, I suggested Japanese as I am a fan of Chicken Yaki Soba. I figured we'd go to EDO Japan or something like that, but nooooo.... We ended up at WASABI, which is a real japanese styled restaurant. Considering all the bitching I've heard about Japanese food, I was kind of leery of the real sushi and such, but it ended up being really really good! Creighton and I ended up having Vegetable Tempura, Chicken Soba, Don Bura, and we split a tray of sushi.

Creighton likes eating octopus and squid.. too bad it wasn't like it looks in anime, all squidy and stuff. I would have laughed so hard...

I wonder if they'd make me Mochi? </me>

mmmm...madblog...*nibbles on*

I am cheerily writing this post to tell you that I tripped at the Cradle of Filth concert. Chris, Meriah, and I thought it would be a good idea because we saw it on Trading Spaces. After that, we had Cranberries and vodka and French fries at KFC. Our waiter was really Silky! Unfortunately, I got food poisoning and threw up in my trunk. knucklefucker!

MadBlog by quill18

Off to see the wizard!

amyranth — Wed, 09 Jul 2003 08:21:23 GMT

At 7am I will be on my way to Vancouver to se Cradle of Filth!

*dances happily*

I should be home by saturday, with the film in for sunday and done ASAP, so I will have all the nitty gritty play-by-play posted on my journal, I promise.

Maybe some pictures too.

Muah.
This is going to be the best night ever....

My first day of Singledom

amyranth — Sat, 05 Jul 2003 15:08:50 GMT

*is relaxed*

I think I'm going to end up loving this! I get to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and there's nobody around to say boo about it!

Now what do I do first? Eat pints of oreo ice cream till my head explodes? Dress in sexy clothes and go taunt some guys at a club? Rent stupid movies and watch them till my eyes fall out? Get in the tub and stay there until I wrinkle so badly I'm three inches shorter when I get out? Or I could release three years of relationship frustration in a scathing review that'll make nikkki's toes curl!

*wanders and ponders*

What would you do first night out of a three year relationship?

amyranth — Fri, 04 Jul 2003 17:59:12 GMT

Muah.

Gone and done it. Broked up now. Don't quite know how I feel...Silly freedom...

*sighs and eats some oreo ice cream* Mmmm oreo...

*looks left*

*looks right*

So, what do I do now?

Night of the Living Moth: Part 2

amyranth — Wed, 02 Jul 2003 07:35:16 GMT

It was worse last night!!

They covered the window at drive thru so badly that they were climbing around on top of each other all night!

And then a bunch of fucking drunken weiners came in and held open both sets of doors so that their little girly friends could run in without having to encounter any moths. Next thing you know they're ALL over the store. *tries not to be sick at the memory*

And of course, when the day was over and there were dead moth bits and guts all over the front walk, guess who got to sweep them up??

Argggh...Anyone wanna lend me a few frogs and a coupla spiders? I could deal with the spiders if it would get rid of the moths...

They were so thick, some of the securicor guys were telling me they thought that we had left the parking lot lights off because they couldn't see them for all the moths...

The night of the Living Moth

amyranth — Tue, 01 Jul 2003 08:17:22 GMT

Quick Update..

We had a bit of a moth problem at work today *makes a yucky face*
They had coated the windows so badly that we couldn't even open the drive thru, because they'd fall off the windows not the counter then fly into the store...
So then we had a bunch of moths flapping around the store.

On top of that, it was a day off for most people so they all decided to come to Tim' Horton's for a late night snack...*rolls her eyes*

I hate moths....

Then when I was on my way home I got swarmed by gnats, the bus driver drove right by me and I tripped coming up the stairs to my house!

*hides under her blankets* Don't ask me to do anything today cause it ain't gonna happen...

amyranth — Sun, 22 Jun 2003 07:45:47 GMT

*pokes her livejournal a bit*

This is definitely interesting. I've had online journals before, but not to the extensive neatness that this one has managed to wrap itself into.

Now if I can only figure out how to get my website to look half decent..
