Thanks. It was a pretty vibrant flower...the only thing out there that was still blooming at that time.

Enjoying the picture, as much as I'm enjoying attempting to say 'thistle' five times fast.

wait... this is thistle? Like, what you feed birds thistle? I never knew what thistle came from, and I never knew what these flowers were... I've also never used the word thistle so many times in one moment of speaking either... nor have I ever typed thistle I do not believe, no I have not

did I just start a poem about thistle? OMG, time to sleep? perhaps perhaps, that moment has come

pretty picture

(((caffeine, might just be a big no, no for me )))

Sounds like sleepy time. I count the word "thistle" no less than SIX times in your reply.

I can't say about bird feed thistle...I never knew that. But it is a (fairly small) species of that thorny plant that people so often avoid. [link] I am not a fan of all thistle flowers, but this one was pretty awesome, I thought.

those aren't the purple flowers in my yard... damn... I guess I'll never know, those little flowers of mine will be like tootsie pops, the world may never know. may or may not, woahhhhhh... random thought... if it wasn't deadly and illegal, I think acid could be a pretty cool drug . I mean, seeing all the pretties and what not... not the over dosing, addiction part of it all, but like... if it were like taking um... Tylenol or something... it could be nice?

I think you are your own best drug. You seem to have reached some pretty high heights naturally. (Well, assuming you aren't on something right now. )

that would make this quite the awkward conversation I indulge in a bottle or two of rum every now and then however - this here, is all natural... though caffeine has heightened this a bit I stay off this here inter-web those nights, instead I make an ass out of myself in person

jon-rista In reply to WorldWar-Tori [2009-12-31 09:12:19 +0000 UTC]

I indulge every so often myself. Usually in a bottle of wine though, but sometimes in rum or tequila.

I sometimes bar tend, and I know most people probably find it weird when I do so, but I make up random drinks, and people actually try them (and come back for them)... I try them on my boss first though. I have learned to make a many with rum and vodka. Though I think vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol.

tequila is just nasty. personal opinion of course.

and, I lack romantic abilities... but when that does happen, I like wine... or when I'm writing or something peaceful... but I am not a peaceful person. sooo... it's a rare drink.

(oh God, if I can get this descriptive already, what's going to happen when I'm actually 21 )

I kind of agree about vodka. Thats why I always mix it with Martini and Rossi and throw in some olives and olive juice. Dulls the raw alcohol taste a bit. I like tequila in small doses, or mixed. Rum, and perhaps Irish Cream, are the only two that I really drink strait up.
