i used to almost like it better if my parents said, "maybe" to something i wanted to do or buy (actually, something i wanted them to buy) rather than if they said a straight-out "yes."
"maybe" is Christmas Eve.
"maybe" is las vegas.
"maybe" is taking the battery out for 15 seconds and putting it back in.
it's pounding on the magnavox or the zenith when the picture gets fuzzy.
it's surfing back through the channels you just got done surfing through.
it's "the dems and the repubs are still deliberating."
maybe is dying your hair blonde or buying the new and improved version of Tide.
it's how you feel when you turn on your computer in the morning.
it's why you turn this way instead of that way even though you mapquested it.
(especially if you mapquested it!)
maybe, essentially, is satan all dressed up in fancy colors.
whereas "hope" is entirely the opposite.
