pyro?

I have a strange infatuation for lighting matches.

The infatuation goes well with my love of candles - but I think my interest in candles only exists to make the lighting matches part seem okay. I think it arises from my fascination and appreciation of matter. I've been wishing I had done better in all my advanced chemistry and biology classes in high school these days. I really just want to know how things work. I can literally stare into a burning match until the flame is too close for comfort.
My best friends sent me this Capri Blue - Volcano candle along with beautiful earrings and a navy top that is exactly my style as a belated birthday gift. I always wondered if I would ever find a group of girls I could always count on, trust, and love - these girls are definitely my lifelong companions!

  1. That's awesome you can count on those girls. I don't know about you, but it feels harder in college to maintain relationships. Maybe it's the lack of a history with people, as opposed to elementary-middle-high school friends, that makes it more difficult to keep things up. I definitely have much stronger relationships with friends from home than here in Boston. Regardless, I'm optimistic. :)

    With that said, lunch sometime?

  2. I also have an infatuation with lighting candles! Everytime I am home there are at least two burning.
    You are lucky to have those friendships. It is a great feeling to know you can count on them...

  3. I share the infatuation, too. And I think my cat does, as well, because when I light a match he becomes verrryyy interested. (A couple times he's accidentally burnt his whiskers leaning too close to a candle! Eek.)

  7. When I was in college, I stumbled into this gift shop in my horrid college town and was introduced to the most beautiful scent in the world: Japanese Quince by Seda France. Those suckas aren't cheap, but I've had my candle for about 4 years now, and I've still got 1/2 of it left. And I'm not a thrifty burner.
