Being a little bit of a fan of Death Note, and my unsatisfied desire of doing cosplay & dressing up for Halloween, and still obsessing over Puppy II, here we have a mish-mash of things...

I was cosplaying Amane Misa (black, strappy dress, lacy stockings and cloggy leather boots). Happy with what I was wearing, I went over to the office's department where a good number of my friends were. The guys admired how the boots were making me taller -- so much that I could hug one of those taller than me around the waist!

I went upstairs to the pantry where Puppy II and I confessed our affections for each other. He gave me a bouquet of orange Tiger Lillies, red Anthuriums, red-orange Birds of Paradise, garnished with White Heath Asters -- all in favor of roses.

Waking up within a dream, I was mysteriously clutching the said bouquet, but wilted, with my grip breaking the stems. The bouquet also did not show signs of the aforementiond wild flowers, but roses and daisies in red and pink. I was thinking hanging them up for proper drying, until my father properly and truly woke me up.

I unfortunately know nothing of the Victorian Language of Flowers, but here is what I've come across (Sources, unless indicated, are from Flower Meaning:

• Tiger Lillies: Wealth, pride. [Source: The Language of Flowers at the The Gardener]
• Anthuriums: Hospitality.
• Bird of Paradise: Joy
• Aster: Generally, this would mean patience; but according to The Gardener, it means purity and daintiness.
• Roses: Red -- togetherness, unity; pink -- perfect happiness or an appeal to truth. [Source: The Language of Flowers at the The Gardener]
• Daisy: Pink -- tenderness. [Source: Bijbo-Flowers.com]

And according to BellaOnline's Dreams Site by Aisling Ireland, "Wilted flowers can symbolize a thirst in the soul or may be a cry for spiritual help."

I suppose I am in a stage where I am looking for something MORE -- more than the usual slave to the grind, the daily commute, the everyday droning... more than the usual aimless pining for something to add to my soul.
