Heads or Tails

I love flowers. Maybe it's just a girl thing, who knows, but i know that i love them.

Granted, i've never received flowers from a guy, which would be much more noteworthy. I have, however, been given a rose by one of the girls on Valentine's day when i was in year 12; we were all single, so decided that we'd be each other's Valentine's! It was much more fun that way. I got flowers for my birthday and they stayed in my room for weeks until the very last one died (think of it as sentimental, not gross). When i was upset about something last year, someone gave me flowers - though, looking back, i'm not entirely sure about the reason behind the gift... but it seemed like a nice thought at the time, i loved them. My Gran used to give me a little posie of flowers every year on my birthday, which was very sweet.

I'm also a bit of a four year old when it comes to flowers... if i'm out for a walk with a friend, it's not uncommon for me to be seen walking along with flowers threaded through my hair, or i'm twirling them between my fingers. I don't really care how silly it looks, i just love having something so pretty in my hair (just like the hippies and the fairies used to do). The girls have a giggle, or roll their eyes, but i just keep on, bouncing down the road, smiley and happy with flowers in my hair.

Then there's the song by Sandi Thom - oh, i wish i was a punk rocker, with flowers in my hair... whenever i think about flowers my brain start singing that song!
