the swoop of the bird!

i had a list of things that i wanted to blog about.   i think i will just pick from that list over the next few days.    on the top of my list...  my strange dreams about my parents.  i have had several dreams in the last two where i am yelling at my parents and blaming tham for abandoning me on a road side somewhere and then another one where i'm saying vicious spiteful things to my mom like i used to want to when i was 17 but never had the courage to say.  this is bizzare to me because i love my parents and we get along really well.  what could this be about?  it's really out of left field dream wise, my dreams always make sense either litterally or metaphorically.  theses one are just boggling my mind.

the last of my star gazer lilies bloomed today and it's insides are a fantastic fuchia color! 

today also marked the opening of my very first poppies!  i have one california and one shirley, so an orangy-yellow one and a red one.  they are both fairly tiny but they are in a planter box so i didnt expect them to get huge like they were growing in the wild.  so i think if we llok at my past blogs i planted those seeds on the 16th or 17th of march, right before the Mediocre tour came to visit me.  so right on que 3 months later bloomage!  i really like having plants, they make me happy, who knows why but they do!

so funny thing happened tonight.  i go pick up tiffany from the macarthur bart and we had made it a plan to hang out for the evening since matt was running an instance with his friend.  so i sugest that we got to rudy's can't fail cafe because it is fish and chips night and it was almost 9pm so it was beer was only a dollar.  so we go and have a great dinner and have some delicious tiramisu with creme anglaise.  then we are dirving back and we are approaching an intersection whe i have a green light and this guy who swerved into the left turn lane opposite of me keeps edging in like he going to hit me so i blast my horn a few times and while keeping me left hand on the wheel proceede to flip him the bird with my right hand over my left shoulder as i drive by.  and if you know me or have driven with my you know i'm all talk when it comes to my roday rage, i'm a road ranter as mama huges would say.  so a second after i turned to tiffany ans was like whoaaaah, i just flipped that guy off!  i explained to her that, that was really not my style.  and she seemed confused and said, " you did it with such finnesse that i assumed it was a practiced move.  you made a rather swooping gesture, a swoop of the bird if you will."  i was semi-shocked at my self and continued to LOL the rest of the way home.
