Happy Un-valentine day

Postby .Pardalis. » Wed Feb 15, 2012 2:08 pm

I don't know who decided;

1.Red and pink are the only colors acceptable on Feb.14th
2.That being alone can't be fun.
3. That one day a year is plenty.(I'd rather know all year round with murmured appreciations than just one over the top day)


I'm purposefully ignoring the date today. Instead I'm going to the movies Friday with a friend.
I really don't see the point. I treasure any love all year round so I don't need a holiday.

Also, this is a cartoon version of my first cat blizzard.
Flame point lynx Siamese. I remember the day we picked him out.
I was three and he hadn't developed points yet (Siamese are born white)
I wanted to name him..Snow white. x'D
My mom made me settle on blizzard. That was years and years ago.
Blizzard passed almost ten years ago. I still remember his funny antics.
He used to sneak into the fridge while it was open.
You'd hear meowing coming from the depths of it...his name was creepy appropriate.
His sister was called defrost. It kind of ran in the family. lolol.

Cool drawing.

And great words. I fully agree with you. Shouldn't someone do something nice for their lover any day of the year? Not just when it's expected...

I totally agree. Me and my friend were asking what day it was today, and we only replied Tuesday.

This is really pretty. You have talent. :3

Me and my friends call Valentines single's awareness day. But I do agree with you ^^

lol, thanks guys.

My boyfriend went out and got me a expensive necklace.

There seems to be some misunderstanding here.
Yes, I like to get things. Yes I like jewlery.
Yes, it is nice to be shown you care...

However.
Spending 80$ on a necklace makes me uncomfortable.
I'm obsessed with fancy mice. Why not just get me a 3$ mouse?

I'm not complaining. I'm just saying, I don't like attention or large amounts of money spent on me.

I know I can't be the only one who feels that way.

I feel that way too. I would love if someone bought me something expensive, but a little fish or a twix bar will do just fine for me...

Totally get what you mean, my friend and I were sitting in class on Tuesday and he said, "I'm single on Valentines day." I snapped, "It's Tuesday!"
And heck yes I would be super uncomfortable with someone spending a huge amount of money on me like that. I would have preffered the mouse.

Nice picture by the way, it could use some shading and the back of the head is a little crooked, but other than that it's great! c:

I tried shading it by burning, but that didn't look right.

Then I tried blocking out the shaded parts with black on a single layer and then lowering the opacity.
But either you can hardly tell it's there or it looks strange.

Blizzard was a traditional Siamese cat out of pet and show lines.
That's why his head was all flat and long like that. It doesn't translate well into cartoon form, I'll admit that.

I love fancy ice to a unhealthy degree. The necklace is wonderful, I just feel bad because I gave him a handmade mosaic.-___-;

But you put a ton of effort into your gift because it was hand made. You can't get much more loving than that.

True, but it's all recycled materials. Not a cent was spent on it. lol.

It took forever @___@
I'm the year of the horse, He's the year of the dragon and our kid is the year of the rat.

So I did a 4 ft tall mosaic of the three species romping in a field. Plus each one held a penny made
on the corresponding birth year..It took nearly 40 hrs to make in total.

I'm still glad I got to celebrate the 14th like a normal day.
*does a dance*
Arietty is only a few hours away!
