I saw a car on the road today. It had its two front doors missing. I totes wanted to go for a joyride.
Also there seems to be FLOWERS everywhere I WALK, and they're not even cool flowers. They're these stupid little white things. So rude.
And fuck Mother's Day.

I miss my moms. Called them, like, three times yesterday. Is that a lot? First time I was fine, but then I got fucking homesick and then I cried, because shit just sucks right now...I dunno. I can't wait for the summer, so I can go home and see them. Mostly. I just don't want to be here. I want a hug. I want their hugs.
This is slightly awkward, but--
My hair is covered in cherry blossoms! And I've been eating them all fucking day since yesterday! Shit. I don't get it. They're all in my food. No flowers when I get the food, but I fucking go to take a fucking bite and there they are! I think it has to do with my mouth. Because flowers are appearing on my toothbrush and on the ends of my pens. This is kinda scary, actually. Is it okay to be eating cherry blossoms? Because I'm not going to stop eating entirely. Or brushing my teeth. Or chewing on my pens. Fuck. It relaxes me.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm not going to complain about having pretty smelling flowers everywhere. I feel like I'm more nymphly than ever, running around with jasmine clinging to me.
I hope this stays!

So everyone has flowers growing on them? Or most everyone. I have to admit I'm not sure what to take on this, I was nothing nymph like in my former life, but they're still pretty.
And if you think growing flowers is strange try seeing Thoughts covered in them. It's like some sort of zombie plague but with flowers of all sorts. Most of the Thoughts are trying to rip them off, but then when I see their people they haven't gone through with it or they could just be growing back. I'm not sure.
I went to some Biology major's Thoughts that were hanging out in the Greenhouse and they told me my flower was called a Flowering Rush. It's very unique in shape but doesn't quite grow the way they've been forming on me. And then there's this lonely one on my wrist... Anyway since everyone is looking up the meanings of their flowers I found mine meant 'Confidence in Heaven'. It's rather simple right.

[Last night, she was down with the flowers. The first keyboard was honestly funny. The second one too. Keyboards were easy enough to replace. She'd rolled her eyes and golf-clapped, setting the ruined pieces of technology aside with a snort. Not being able to hold her phone? Fine. Nicely done, weird cosmic power fucking with the campus. Nicely done. Your abilities are acknowledged and appreciated for their verve and unique qualities. And touch-me-nots? Ten points for creativity.
But in the morning, getting up for work, it's her bike. And no one messes with her bike. (Charlie - her dad gave her the Bitch. And that matters.)
There's a low, rumbling growl permeating the air as the voice function cuts in. (Remotely. Thank the gods for voice-recognition technology.) The sound of it unnerving, somewhat hackle-raising in just how easily it spills from a set of very human vocal chords. It repeatedly gets louder and quieter, louder and quieter as it goes, fluctuating to the tune of someone pacing.]
Okay, this whole thing stopped being funny right around the moment when I had flora sprouting in my engine. [Now, Coyote is a jovial beast, generally speaking. But there's a reason (s)he was called the First Angry. (This is a prime example.)] Which would be fine. Totally fine. I can appreciate a well-crafted joke. But I can't fix it because that just makes more of them.
[A sputtering, mechanical noise sounds in the background and she snarls with a barely-contained fury:] Fucking fuck -

[Hanging off the doorknob of Riley's apartment door in a small blue gift bag are three Queen of the Night tulips. On the bag, in black marker, the messy script simply reads:
Riley
Hanging off the doorknob of Max's dorm room in a small black gift bag is one tulip. On the front of the bag, in gold marker, the messy script reads:
Max
On the back it reads:
You'll have to share.
Bethany doesn't knock or let her presence be known to the people who are possibly on the other side. She simply places the gifts on their doors and walks away. It has dawned on her this might come off strange or creepy to someone more normal, more well-adjusted, but doing something like this, literally giving people something from her own hands is much easier than using the words she doesn't know how to voice.]

LILY OF THE VALLEY: Return of happiness, purity of heart, sweetness, tears of the Virgin Mary, you've made my life complete, humility, happiness, love's good fortune. The legend of the lily of the valley is that it sprang from Eve's tears when she was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. It is also believed that this flower protects gardens from evil spirits. Also known as the flower of May.
I suppose the flower of May bit is accurate. Anyway, my hair is now besieged with these lovely visitors.
What's everyone else sprouting?

Today, in class, a boy told me that I looked pretty. It was odd. It wasn't as though he has spoken to me previously. And we have had class together all semester. It was probably the flowers, really.
I'm afraid that I wasn't quite certain what to say, so I told him that he looked pretty too? Which wasn't the correct response, more than likely. But there were poppies in his hair - and they were rather lovely. So I suppose that, if nothing else, the response was accurate.
These are very probably things that one should know already.

I have never really done this before either
I wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day.
I apologize for the lateness of the sentiments, but I was out with my grandmother yesterday. And I am certain that you were with your family, so -
I got you something? Um. Something small. I'm not certain if it is any good, though. I usually just send my mother a card in the mail. I'm not really certain if she opens it or anything.

Ah, I have a dilemma. But I think this is everyone's dilemma? I have daisies coming out of my fingertips, and it is a little hard to type or do things with my hands. [She holds up her hands, and lo and behold, there are daisies coming out of some of her fingertips.]
Then I saw there that under my bed, there are more daisies. [The laptop is moved to get a glimpse of said daisies. One daisied hand comes out to stroke some of the flowers.] I was wondering, though, should I give them sunlight? Should I water them? But that's a little difficult...
[The laptop is back in her lap, and now it is evident that she's made herself a crown of daisies] I suppose it's nice, though. A little strange... but nice. [After a smile, she cuts the feed.]

( Mother's Day stuff. )
So ... everyone's covered in flowers? That's ... interesting. It took me fifteen minutes to get untangled from someone giving random flowery hugs to people. I don't seem to be growing anything myself, so I'm guessing this isn't contagious.
At least almost everyone smells good for once.
Don't mind the dead kids tugging at your flowers, the girls are really excited.

Thanks again, Dr. Venkman, for your on-call ghost-busting. I owe you a drink after finals.

I'VE BEEN GIFTED WITH THE GIFT OF PEONIES! Or is it peonii? I don't know. Who cares?! They're awesome and pink and they're in my hair and everywhere I walk and when I dance there are flurries of petals everywhere!
I have no idea what they symbolize and I don't really care because they're super pretty.
Sorry about all the flowers, Bethany. :( I'll try to walk on my hands if it gets overwhelming!

So, it seems I have sweet briar growing up my arms and over my shoulders. It's an [...] interesting sensation.
In more interesting news, I read a very interesting article over the weekend about the Catholic traditions of same-sex marriage. I think I'm going to hunt down the original research about it, see what I can find out.
Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual. Prof. John Boswell, the late Chairman of Yale University’s history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church liturgical documents, there were also ceremonies called the "Office of Same-Sex Union" (10th and 11th century), and the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century).

Don't start reading the comments, you might go loopy.

Red opium poppy is rather fitting and a bit humorous. I wonder if I can sell these for money. Not my business what people do with them after they are out of my hands.

We should start a flower business.

I think it's rather fitting as a doctor I should be sprouting foxglove aka digitalis everywhere I walk, though sleeping in a bed of it isn't very comfortable.

DAFFODIL: Regard, rebirth, new beginnings, unrequited love, you're the only one, chivalry, eternal life. Associated with the tenth wedding anniversary. Also the birth flower for March and the national symbol of Wales.
I thought since everyone else was doing it, I'd do it as well. Four of these make sense, but the rest don't. Eternal life especially... I don't think being reincarnated means we'll keep getting reincarnated forever.
Maybe it does, though. Wouldn't that be really tiring? Also, this -- "The Daffodil flower stood for chivalry in Victorian England, because it stood in the snow, waiting for the rest of the flowers of spring." I guess that's appropriate.

woah i kind of really LIKE the flowers growing out of my head!! they're really pretty and blue (i kind of wish they were a different color though). but it's okay! i think i'm going to try shampooing extra carefully around mine so it doesn't die. i mean, i don't have a green thumb as it is!! so i figure i have to be extra careful, you know? it just makes SENSE.
so i've been practicing on my things since summer audition season is starting up soon and i really really REALLY want to get cast at the montenegro playhouse for the summer musical. i've been hearing all kinds of rumors around the department about what it might be. personally, i'm hoping for something like.......... sweeney todd or wicked or avenue q!! i gotta start pumping up my resume since i couldnt do le mis :( :( i've always wanted to try and be eponine (but i think that's EVERY girl's dream!!)
i mean, if i could choose this summer's musical... i'm totally crossing my fingers for rent though. i would make an AWESOME mimi!
