Oct. 1st, 2005 11:36 amMy mouth feels like someone's been chewing on it. I really need to get to a dentist to see about the strange goings-on. Yay.
Yesterday, I went back-to-school shopping. No, I'm not going back to school, but the shopping felt the same. I've realized that all of my clothes have suddenly become tatty all at once. I'd gone to the mall with f00 the other day, but the prices of shirts are prohibitive. I saw one shirt I liked, but it was $65. That's rather insane. So yesterday, I went with my sister to a thrift shop and I bought about six shirts/sweaters and a brand-new pair of suede boots for a grand total of $25. Now that's much better.
On my walk to the store with Erin, I saw an apple tree with big, juicy red apples. They looked like Red Delicious apples. So we each picked one, wiped it off, and took a bite.
The first thing that struck me was how very red the flesh of the apple was. And then I was punched about the palate by the flavour. It was the sourest apple I've ever had, and it puckered my mouth like a fistful of alum. I couldn't talk properly, because my tongue was shrivelled up in a knot beside my suffering epiglottis. Drool erupted from my saliva glands in great, gooey gobbets.
I forced myself to eat three bites of the apple before I threw it into a vacant lot, where the seeds may grow another tree of pretty, but inedible, apples.
I'm the Johnny Appleseed of doom.
Tonight, my repast shall be much tastier.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
