I am not dumb!
So now you are calling me Gold Digging, High Maintenance and second fiddle to DeeDee? 
of course not. The fact that something is expensive means that many people find value in it. Hence, you are valuable to the eye of many. Expense is simply a term that brings about an intrinsic value. You my dear, are valuable since there are not many like you. Gold digging is a term that is used ina derogatory sense to label something or someone in such a way as to demean them. You assume that becuase value is used in your description that it in turn depicts you as someone that is need of monetary/material validation. Value, especially in your case, is not the monetary sense, but rather an endearment of spiritual, and emotional value. Sometheng that is devoid in a gold digger. As you state high maintence, the fact that something is labor intensive does not necessarily make it high maintence. In fact the labor of love is a huge effort, yet loving someone, and making sure that the love is expressed does not make the recipient a high maintanece person. Again this is derogatory and thus negative. You are a person of high value and the expression of that from others, whether it be through monetary/material means or just through simple devotion of time can be considered labor but you are not classified as high maintanece. High maintenance also implies that the individual themesleves requires that everything be tailored to them with unyeilding circumstances. You, as i see you, are a person that lives life to it's fullest and are highly adaptable. Thus negating the high maintence aspect. as for playing second fiddle, hardly! You see, certain things need to be enhanced to bring out the best in things. Thus that particular item is less thant the focal point in the issue. In fact the supporting players are what makes the inital being even better. Vanilla is a spice that is explosive, can play well with others, or stand soley at the top. The fact that it has so many uses adds to its value. Often misunderstood, vanilla can be subtle with underlying boldness. Waiting for the perfect chance to shine and when done correclty it's taste is blissful. The aroma wafting in the air, triggers intense emotional reactions and depictions of the wonderful things that are to come. Without being seen, it's presence is already there. To taste vanilla, in any of it's vasrious forms, brings forth the other sensory organs to play. Even if it's the "plain" vanilla ice cream. Remember that even this is so complex. A hot summers day is upon us and you here the destinctive chime or the ice cream vendor. You run to him and get your ice cream. You take that first faitful lick of the luscious cream. It's flavor, it's absolute sinfullness of goodness envolpes your tongue and mouth. The simple complexity of of the spice takes over you body and mind in such a way that it transports you into another time. Perhaps it was childhood, or fond memory with a lover. Other flavors have to be added to make the other ice creams. They have to be dolled up in order to be palatable. Vanilla my dear, is scrumptious all by itslef, very much like you.
