I See Red

Feb 14, 2007 15:42

Thanks to everyone who sent me a valentine via the link I set up a couple of weeks back. It's kind of funny how much those little gestures mean to us, but they're nice ( Read more... )

Which reminds me, I need to mail my Valentines out.
Right on time! (I suck at life sometimes.)

I'm looking forward to it. :D A late valentine is better than no valentine (which is what I'm sending so I think I am the one who sucks at life).

Oh, Kate. I'm sorry. =/

I don't know what to say regarding Dirk, but maybe just leave things be for a while? That's my best suggestion.

Yeah, I think so too. I was tempted to write back, "What the hell does THAT mean?" but it's possible that he meant nothing by it or that whatever is up his ass will slowly work its way out and he'll be chummy again when I call him in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Kevin. I sent you a valentine on MySpace, if you still log into that. :)

Thanks, Kate. That was very sweet of you.

Go look at the pnada I posted again.

Dammit. It's hard to be upset in a world with baby pandas. But I can try!

I missed the link from a few weeks ago, but I want to wish you a happy fucking Valentine's day. I do have to say - Dirk *did* send you a Valentine, right? If he wanted to tell you to fuck off, do you think he would've sent anything at all?

squeakywheel February 15 2007, 05:32:17 UTC

You're right. And Leon said basically the same thing. I told him what Dirk's valentine said and Leon's response was more or less, "...And? What's your problem?"

When I read it again this evening, I was able to take it more as "wishing you happiness in your life" and less as "I don't intend to talk to you again so here's some wishes for the future." I read too far into everything.

Thanks, though. And happy valentine's day to you, too.

I totally see why you'd think that about "wishing you happiness in your life" but I also think that there's a certain degree of tone lost in translation, you know?

Absolutely. Reading it a second time made it seem a lot less curt. Perhaps I was just expecting the worst. It's been a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy with that, lately.
