[ love/hate ] relationship

you know what i love?  
:: besides sushi, pin-up girls, and extra large martinis ::

butterflies. 
and not the kind that flutter all wobbly-like from one flower to the next.  if we're talking insects, i prefer dragonflies.  they fly with purpose... darting in straight lines... often landing with precision in the exact same spot multiple times.  i admire their consistency and grace.

i love phantom belly butterflies. 
the kind that are brought on by anxiety, excitement, nerves, or anticipation.  i often get this sensation while i'm waiting in line for a roller coaster.  [anticipation]  while receiving good/bad news.  [excitement/anxiety]  while i'm getting ready to go out dancing. [excitement/anticipation] while i'm meeting new people and bracing myself for the inevitable moment when i get tongue tied and say something moronic.  [all of the above]

but no matter what the cause...  i absolutely adore the buzzy feeling of belly butterflies.


you know what i hate?
:: besides mosquitoes, traffic, and obtuse personalities ::

that i can't tell a good joke without giving away the punchline.
