My, what's that I hear? The twittering, the chirping of lazy love birds as the flit amongst the clouds! The smell of love in the air, that tingling sensation of butterflies in the pit of your stomach when you get close to your cherished loved ones!
Of course, that's Valentine's Day to us all. Or, like a few have said over that past few days, "Happy Singles Awareness Day".
Overall my day was good. I drew a demon from the book I am writing, so it's safe to say that I can draw the covers (perhaps) and save myself some bucks- otherwise, this publishing company will make their own covers and charge me. It won't be much, but still, I don't want to loose more money starting off than I get. I had a scare, though. For the third off day in a row my co-workers were calling off or getting sick, so I constantly dealt with the threat of being called in. Oh, joy. rolleyes It didn't happen, which is nice.
Gave my parents some Valentine's Day gifts. They deserve it; lately work has been killing both of them. It's been a real drag at both of their jobs, so I perked them up a bit. Also, my long term (and I mean, this went on for months) on and off depression seems to have lifted. I'm actually HAPPY again for the first time in ages!! And this was the day, the anniversary, ten years ago, that I found out I had Chrons. Not even that could dour my mood!
Teen Night tomorrow, which is fantastic. I work in the morning, but that's alright; I should have time to rest up beforehand. I can't wait!!
Now, for something related to "love" and such... I've found something funny. As my friends know, I'm cosplaying as Dark Riku from Kingdom Hearts II. This character is a guy, and I'm a girl (and, yes, I REALLY am a girl, not just some guy using a female avatar or something; that's happened on here, the Gaia site, before). Anyhow, I've noticed something funny.
Girls are hitting on my Riku avatar. sweatdrop I know it's misleading and all, but it IS happening. I went into towns once, and a girl went right up to me, flashing the winking, hugging and kissing images. I was both aghast and humored. I really didn't know what to do, but finally she realized I was a girl. Poor user! She was apologizing, "crying" with the animated icon... she was really heartbroken I wasn't a guy. I don't think she took that too well... I think she really wanted a Riku male friend on Gaia.
Other users, I've noticed, are COMPLETELY confused as to what I am in the first place. These are mainly male avatar users. My username screams "female", but my look screams "male". One guy asked if I was a girl, and when I said yes, he freaked out and actually left the town. I had to laugh at that one. To some, I know, it looks like I'm cross dressing or something.
This is funny. I mean, I know it's evil, but I can't help but laugh sometimes. I don't mean to confuse them, but I know my avatar is coming off that way. I know anyone would be stunned, really. Now I'm wondering what my other avatar designs are going to provoke, reaction wise!
heart Peace out, ya'll! And Happy Valentine's Day! heart
Edit: Also, as if my Valentine's Day isn't strange enough, I forgot to mention that my comic arrived in the mail! I won it from Ebay. Anyone ever hear of JtHM, created by Jhonen Vasquez? Yeah, to anyone who knows what the comic is about (and how dark humored and twisted it is) that sums up my Valentine's Day. In fact, in a sort of twisted way itself, that comic book shows how much dark humor I have towards a holiday of love, candy, flowers, happiness and getting together with family. twisted
