Talking Time Festivus Exchange: Results

See that list in the last post? Yeah, I did none of that today. Which means I need to do the picture-taking tomorrow! Score! I guess I should find out when Jonathan is working tomorrow… I’ll do that now… okay, he’s off tomorrow. Awesome. That’s when I’ll take pictures. The rest I can do real late at night or whatever, no big deal.

Anyway, I got Shivam’s Festivus gift to me in the mail today, and it… I dunno. It was quite a feeling. Here’s the unwrapping I did for the site, cause that was part of it… here’s his response, and here’s me trying to explain my feelings about it more in response to his response… in any case, it’s really quite neat, and it has significance for him and what he thinks of me, and it… it made me that kind of blushy, embarrassed sort of happy, you know? It was really sweet. It certainly wasn’t the sort of feeling I was expecting to get out of it when I joined up for this Festivus exchange, but man, it was neat… it really does stick out, though, among all of my stuff. It’d look nice with all of Mom’s stuff in the little curio thing downstairs, but this is mine, and she wouldn’t like the significance anyway… so it’ll set on top of my computer, at least for now, until I think of a good place for it… it… yeah. Shivam did well. It certainly moved me in some way, since I’ve literally spent most of the day trying to think of how to word my feelings about it, and I still don’t think I’ve succeeded. But hopefully explaining around the mark will give you some idea, I dunno.

Oh, how did I do in my gift-giving? I think well, considering Calorie Mate looked up my AIM account to tell me he liked it when he got it. I guess since I’m linking to Talking Time posts, I can link to that one too. I don’t think I’ve talked about how my gift went over yet, right? This isn’t rehashed? I hope?

Anyway, guess I best get going to work now… I got a caffeine withdrawal headache begging for a big caffeine drink. MERRY FESTIVUS.
