FedEx just delivered a dozen roses to my office. They're for me.

Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] marialuminous!

She wasn't sending me Schrödinger's cat after all!

If she had you could have discovered that the cat exists in a superposition of three states: dead, alive, and furious

LOL... so furious is approximately equal to undead?

Even without woad?


Also, I'm never sure whether to interpret that usericon as "mad laughter" or "impending mastication."

Speaking of Schrödinger's cat - I ordered tulips to be delivered yesterday, but roses arrived today! Surprise! Did the tulips ever exist?

Would you like me to answer in the Copenhagen Interpretation or the Many Worlds Interpretation?

Date: 2006-03-01 10:43 pm (UTC)

Either explanation would be better than nothing.

The Copenhagen Interpretation is that both types of flowers exist in operator space, satisfying a generalized time dependent wave equation which I'd put here for you if I could show integral signs and greek letters and bra-ket notation. When Katrina made an observation of the flowers, she constituted an operator acting on the superposed wavefunctions, causing the wavefunction to collapse as its rose manifestation.

The Many Worlds Interpretation holds that the flower function exists in many parallel universes, manifesting in each as a slightly different wavefunction (flower). In our universe the flowers manifested as roses. In a parallel universe an analog of Katrina received other flowers.

This is officially the geekiest comment to ever appear in my LJ.

Bravo!

And I didn't even use a single Einstein tensor.

I am simultaneously pleased and weirded out by how much of that Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_tensor) article was quickly understood.

I really need to write up that Geek Points thing.

Maybe I should send you a copy of Misner, Wheeler, and Thorne

That one's a tad pricy!

(Here I was all ready to say "Oohh! Book! Yes please thank you!") ;-)

There are no tulips.

Apparently not! This is really funny.

What color were these alleged tulips to have been?

Did you know that tulips are my favorite flower? Or did you guess that the same way you guessed the perfect shade of red for the goddess suncatcher?

From: [identity profile] marialuminous.livejournal.com
I wanted red tulips, but they were too expensive, so I ordered multicolored. I already knew that tulips are your favorites.

What color are the roses?

I hope I get some bosus points for good intentions, even if they didn't get carried out as planned. See, I have good reason to doubt the delivery service, like I did yesterday.

How, exactly, do you redeem "bosus" points?

Date: 2006-03-01 11:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] marialuminous.livejournal.com
bonus points - sorry, it was a typo.

Date: 2006-03-01 11:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] marialuminous.livejournal.com
And i don't know how to redeem them, especially since I'm so far away.

The roses are multicolored. This has helped somewhat with the "No, friend as in friend, not friend as in I'm being coy." ;-)

You don't need bonus points. You sent me flowers!!

Would red tulips have sent the wrong message then?

Date: 2006-03-01 11:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com
I'd have known exactly what you meant.

I think people just have a burning need for every adult to be in a not-single romantic configuration, and therefore really want a flower delivery to mean budding or blooming romance.

.. you should see people twitch when [livejournal.com profile] redrita sends flowers.

Date: 2006-03-01 11:34 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] marialuminous.livejournal.com
Well then if every flower delivery means budding romance, I should warn you that I've been wooing three other people besides you. I hope you're not jealous. Some of them actually got tulips, too.

Date: 2006-03-01 11:39 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kyra-ojosverdes.livejournal.com
I got flowers, therefore I'm special, therefore jealousy doesn't enter the picture. :-p

... Eliza will be heartbroken. Even though she's never met you. How dare you display affection for someone else and not include her? Well, not so much include as make it clear that you love her best of all. *grin*

Bring a flower or two home, give them to her, and tell her that I sent them specifically for her. Pick an orange or pink one. Tell her that I love her best out of all the seven-year-olds I know.

If I didn't already adore you, this comment would have done the trick.

Being kind and thoughtful to my kids pretty much guarantees adoration from me.

Ahhhhh! You think I'm just a friend! I'm so heartbroken! Katrina doesn't love meeeeeee!

I.. umm.. you... buh...

... we have a date for IM tonight, young lady. :-p
