The Unbearable Likeness of Beans

Mar 20, 2013 03:04

See, my sister and I each got a bean plant as a present from our mom in January. They're "magic beans", like you can order from a catalogue, that have a little message branded onto the seed pod. Don't judge us ( Read more... )

I've been working on getting myself to the point where if I get anything done that day its a winner. This is also coming from someone who is used to being so damned busy I can't think straight.

But remember in the hustle and bustle of "gettin 'er done" you have to take time for you, that person staring back at you in the mirror in the morning.

And well, don't feel bad. I could probably kill off silk flowers. I seemed to have no inherited my mother's green thumb.

Which is odd since if I could get my landlord to not fuck with em, I want to grow roses.

Life's funny that way.

Ooh, that would be lovely. And then you could paint them red! Which is probably not as easy as Alice in Wonderland would have us believe. But boy, the landlord would blow his stack!

Thanks much for the love, regardless of roses - sometimes it's hard to feel enamored of the mirror friend, but I know she's doing the best she can.

I like to think rather, that your bean plant just really wants to go outside and play with all the other plants, and completely agree that your sister's plant is a shameless floozy (though admittedly, with excellent taste in paper towelage). Also, considering that you both have cats, I'm amazed they got to eight weeks in the first place. I can't even track in a piece of dead grass on my shoe at my parents' without it being mauled/eaten/eaten-mauled.

...How is it you can turn even a bean plant in a life metaphor? (And why in life metaphors do you seem to lose a lot? I mean, you wrote a book. Srs.)

Haha, well,

1. Her cat's an avatar of lazy indifference, and mine has been raised exclusively on cacti up to this point, so tends to regard plants with about the same respectful suspicion as we do police.

and 2. I spend an *inordinate* amount of every day feeling massively inadequate. Seriously, it's like the ego equivalent of body dysmorphic disorder, or something. Add to that daily contemplation of my inevitable death, and it's easy to bemoan the stagnant contents of my bucket list. That's probably not healthy, but it does help keep the ol' priorities straight! (Much love for e-mail, by the way - reply soon!)
