I was so mesmerized by the little droplets of water, hanging like pearls from the naked tree branches; sparkling against the night.
They reminded me of a story I read when I was little. It was about a princess who wanted to have a necklace made out of dew drops. Like all fairytales it was time for her to be wed and like all fairytales there was a line up of men who were dying to take her hand in marriage. So she told them that she would marry the man that could fulfill her wish of a dew drop necklace. Many men attempted and failed. The next part is a little fuzzy in my head; it was either one of the prospective husbands or her wise old gardener who said that he would make her a dew drop necklace if she would collect the dew drops for him. The princess woke up early in the morning to try and collect those dews, she gathered them in a bowl and to her disappointment they combined and were no more dew, but just a bowl of water. Thus the princess learned her lesson, which was not to be a prissy brat. (I guess it was not really a fairytale. Come to think of it there might have been no long line of men, or any talk of marriage. It was a long time ago that I read this story, so I might have skewed the details in my memory, but the lesson still remains)
back to reality: it was a beautiful sight.

What a frickin' dumb ass.
Go to science class instead of prancing around your little castle waiting for Prince Charming.

I am not a prissy brat.
I collected the dew drops.
And I have a dew-drop necklace.
Be jealous.

It /was/ a beautiful sight, love.
"HELP, MY STEPMOTHER LOCKED ME UP!"
I'd classify that as prissy behaviour.
I think Rabeeta is a prissy brat. which is funny because she's from Bangladesh. like omg, don't they all live in huts and wear rags? you would expect her to be a little more worldly with her experiences. I guess some people are just hopeless.
jeez(us).
g'day princesses and hamsters, and Calvin.
