Flora Failure June 11, 2003 - 2:51 p.m.

You wanna know how much I suck? How incapable I am of handling the most menial responsibilities?

For Christmas, Chris got me these little kits to grow plants. One was for catnip, the other was a bonsai tree. These things are typically designed for children to start learning about various aspects of botany, so you have to figure they're pretty simple to grow. No real requirements other than water and sunlight.

About two months ago, I finally pulled them out and set them up to start growing. I put them in the window sill right here by the computer, as it has the most sunlight. I made sure to keep them watered. I had this whole domestic routine going. I even had little catnip sprouts!! I was so happy!

Next thing I know... dead dead deadsky.

The sprouts were just... gone. And now, still no sprouts and nothing from the bonsai.

I think I've somehow killed these completely elementary plants. And of course, being the self-loathing freak that I am, I've turned this flora failure into a metaphor for my whole attempt at life. How I'm destined to never succeed. How I've got the touch of death. I'm only a harm... blah blah blah. You've heard it all before.

So yeah, I'm so crappy, I can't even keep this tiny little plant alive.

If you're smart, you'll never put anything of any importance into my hands. I'll find a way to destroy it.
