Early this week was one of my good friends' birthday. We have the misfortune of living on opposite sides of the country, so catchups are non-existent. She spent a long time encouraging me to join deviantART and has always been such a huge supporter of my work there since. She's always telling me how much she wants to eat the stuff I post and I keep promising her 'one day'. So for her birthday, I decided it was time I made good on my promise and attempted something I haven't before: shipping baked goods across the country.
I sent her a gift box of various baked goods, which I'll show you in upcoming blog posts, but these cookies were the main feature. Domo has always been this thing between us. I don't remember how it started. It might have been some dancing domo emoticon we always used on chat. We're so random and hyper when conversing it could have come from anywhere. But it developed into one of those 'our thing' things you have with friends. In-jokes you will cry with laughter over while everyone else stares at you like you're insane. We've sent each other various domo paraphernalia and merch over the years, and receiving it has always made me cackle wildly.
I don't remember when the idea of domo cookies popped into my head, but once it did the idea was just so obvious and perfect it began to feel like it had always been my intention.
