I want...

Now Playing : "Butterflies and Hurricanes" - Muse

I must have been high on something tonight.

Here's why; normally when I want something from the 'rents (I'm trying really hard not to sound like a spoiled brat here *lol*) and when it's something expensive, what I would normally do is talk about that thing endlessly for a couple of months prior to its launch or whenever I want to have it. I'll bring up all its good qualities, not so much of its bad but make it sound like it's good anyway--the works. Sometimes this strategy works, sometimes it doesn't.

But, like I said, I must've been high on something tonight. Or maybe I just wanted it so desperately. What I did was...I went up to dear mother who was at the time washing dishes (partial distraction is a good thing) and said...

..."ma, I don't want a new cell phone. I don't even want a new Mac. I'd really rather you just use that money and buy me a ticket to Venice. It costs about the same too. I want this more--and it'll bring a much higher satisfaction value to me than a new phone! I want to leave tonight or real early tomorrow morning and come back on Sunday."

I think my ma has never laughed so hard in her life. 

I was being serious! >_<

I think my mum thought I was high on something too.

Et tu, Philip?
