Okay, here's the thing. Valentine's Day, as we all probably have been made abundantly aware, is this weekend. I have no money with which to buy Nick a present, so I thought to myself, "Sarah, you're a creative gal... why don't you make him something?" Soooo, I racked my brain over and over and the thing that kept popping into my mind was the ( Read more... )

HI Sarah,

I would just like to say that you look hot in oil pastel. And since Nick has already stated that he wants a picture of you and you have gone and painted one..you have one upped yourself...You went above and beyond just forking over a picture of you. You are giving him an incredibly personal gift while showcasing your artistic talent at the same time!! NICE WORK! This will be sure to razzle dazzle him.

On another note, Valentines day is not fun for everyone. I will be protesting V-day by attending a very mature party where some bitter single friends and I will be beating the shit out of a heart shaped pinata!

Hahahhaa... I DO look hot in oil pastel, don't I?

Thank you soooo much for responding! I was seriously freaking out about it and Bif wasn't home and I got all into a tizzy about what to do. I think that I'm going to give it to him, but who knows if I'll freak again and change my mind? LOL

Anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyway, I certainly understand that Valentine's Day isn't fun for everyone. I've been there. I was there last year, in fact, when I spent the evening in Bif's stinky, disgusting apartment by myself avoiding the weirdo I was sort of dating while Bif drove to St. Louis for a concert with his bitchy bitchy girlfriend/exgirlfriend/girlfriend.

Pinatas are fun. *nodding*

xo,
Sarah

awwwwwwwwwww- I love you, kiddo.

Thank you for not laughing at it when I showed it to you.

You're the best friend a gal could have and from this day on I'm going to try to be 100% better about your new name. We could change our journal name somehow if you wanted to, you know. You are Saul. Saul is you. Yeah for trans guys who are Jewish and choose awesome Jew names. You are the awesome of the world!!

1) Is it enormously lame to get a picture of your Valentine's Day sweetie?

no! i think that's absolutely wonderful. i'd pinch you if that wouldn't be awkward for everybody envolved and/or not envolved. also it's REALLY good. i know that Dollface will love it. i promise. in fact, i promise twice.

2) Even if you know that your s.o. doesn't have the money to buy you whatever video game/cd/basket of love goodies they would love to buy you if they could?

NO! see above.

3) Am I just being paranoid?YES! but i totally understand. it's kindof the nature of the universe that we live in that sometimes we forget that personal homemade gifts are way cooler. i mean, Dollface is your BOYFRIEND not some distant uncle or whatever ( ... )

thannnnnnnnnnnnnnk you bif_and_sarah February 12 2004, 06:36:28 UTC
Thank you Brandy... seriously... I'm having such a hard time with it. Mostly because I'm such a paranoid head when it comes to worrying that I'm being self-centered or that I'm saying anything remotely like "oh, you know you like to look at me."

So, thank you!

And you think it's good? Because I'm really worried about that part too.

yes demirep77 February 12 2004, 06:45:15 UTC
of course it's good. honest to betsey, you have got more talent in your left pinky than i have got in my entire body. (i was going to say "my left breast". but i figured that was really gross of me to say.)

it looks loads like that usericon you're using right this second, too. i assume that was the basis?

but yeah, hahaha. about the whole "you know you like to look at me" thing. while it's TOTALLY unfounded and i personally don't think you're being that way even remotely - i do hear you. a bit ago i was going through photos of me because i thought that i'd like to send one to someone *coff*. but anyway, i suddenly freaked out and was like "oh blah blah blah my name is brandy and i think i'm sooooo beautiful that everybody wants a photograph of me." so i didn't send it.

anyway. i was being silly. and now you're being silly.

i PROMISE it's not weird or lame or narcissistic or anything like that. and Dollface will love it.

okay? okay.

At least I'm not the only one paranoid of seeming narcissistic. That makes me feel a little bit better.

Yeah, the icon I'm using was the basis for the picture... it was hard b/c I only have it on the computer and it is pretty small to work from, but it's not like we have a lot of usable mirrors laying around to use either. Someday I WILLLLLLLL have a full length mirror again. (What was that, Sarah? You're NOT narcissistic?)

Anyway... thanks again for reassuring me. It is appreciated mucho.

xo,
Sarah

Really Sarah... It ROCKS! He'll absolutely love it! I mean, I don't know him, but I still think that he'll absolutely love it. I personally think that home made gifts are the best. You slaved over that for him... of course he'll love it!

You are SOooooooo TALENTED! WOW!

Hahahhaa... now I feel like it seems like I'm fishing for compliments. I'm totally not, just so everyone is aware. Thank you, JJ, for saying that I'm talented. I don't know... I've never really thought so but I love doing stuff like that. I've just never been confident enough in my abilities to present them to someone as a gift. (Oh, god that sounded punny and I SO didn't mean it to.)

Yeah, I worked really hard on it. I wish that you could see it not scanned into the computer. I noticed that there is a lot of subtlety missing in the scanned version, but I'm really glad that you approve!!

xo,
Sarah

puns are funny. that is a simple fact that you will just have to learn to accept.

Nevahhhhhhhhhh.

Never never never never never.

Puns can be occasionally clever, but not funny. I think the learning to accept is your and Nick's job.
