The Battle Rages

Heads up! It's Blue against the Red.

SCENARIO: Girl gets flowers from Boyfriend. Flowers were delivered to the office for all to see and smell. And I tell you, these flowers smell crazy fantastic! I keep going up to Girl's place (we're on different floors) for quick whiffs. They make lousy days at the office that little bit better for me. *smiles*


QUELLED INITIAL THOUGHTS: Boyfriend's staking his claim on Girl!!! (She's new, by the way.) But, no. I was wrong. Apparently, Boyfriend sends Girl flowers pretty often (so it's not like he's staking his claim on her that way just cos he can't piss all over her to mark his territory from all the other lousy hounds in the office who are on the hunt). Looks like there still are traditional-flower-giving-romantic guys out there. Problem: They're all taken.


THE BATTLE: Red insists that there are underlying problems in the relationship between Boyfriend and Girl that are just waiting to crash through the surface of the seemingly calm and supremely saccharine facade. Blue and I begged to differ. No, my apologies. There was no begging involved. We insisted that that was utter rubbish. But Red was not an easy opponent. Not letting up in the least and obstinate as all hell, he suggested the idea that Boyfriend was, in fact, cheating on Girl. The audacity of it all! Such imprudence! Hmmph! Shame on Red. May he read this post and toss and turn in his grave (after Blue and I are done with him, of course). Die die we fight to the end. (Red dies, of course.)


MY THOUGHTS: I mean, what's wrong with giving your girl flowers? And how is it possible that giving her flowers even becomes something NEGATIVE in the end?! That theory's so far off tangent that it makes me wonder how Red even keeps his head on straight all day. Puh-leeze. If so, every girl who gets any flowers from her guy should start hiding behind bushes, keeping tabs on his emails and start looking through his text messages already lah! This is ridiculous.


And you've gotta be kidding me if you say you know girls and the way they think cos no matter what any girl says, SHE LIKES FLOWERS. Trust me, hang on to every sentence, and take my word for it. She just doesn't know it yet cos SHE HASN'T BEEN GETTING ANY, no thanks to the likes of unromantic, insensitive males like YOU.


In fact, if you don't give your girl flowers, you should start wondering WHY you don't feel like giving her any. Relationship getting dry and boring, some? Got tired of the chase, maybe? Starting to take her and your relationship for granted, perhaps?

If so, it's time to buck up!

Every now and again, shake yourself awake and away from the very-typical-very-bland dinner-movie-homesweethome routine. Grey habits aren't cool when it's the Lurve Thang we're talking about. Start working some excitement into your limp and passionless relationship today! And what simpler way to do that than with a tiny bunch of sweet-smelling blossoms tied up in pretty bows? Common, it can't possibly get any easier than this.

Whoa.

*blink blink*

That just really started sounding like
a very-bad-very-corny-super-hard-sell ad.

Anyhew, I liked what Blue said at the end of his conversation with Red. "I don't have to agree with it. But I do it anyways cos I know it makes her happy." Sigh. Like that lah. Short, simple, oh-so-sweet and every ounce of it dripping with sincerity.

See? That's the spirit.

Blue, you rock harder than Red ever will.
May Pink come along for you someday.

Whoa, I sounded really pissy in this post, didn't I?
Heh. Those Dark Queen roots haven't all but died just yet.

I think I need to get me some flowers.
