Heya Laury-laur :^)

I'm really, really sorry this wasn't on time... I was determined to do it right, seeing I missed the Christmas opportunity and I just wanted to deliver on this one. Unfortunately I didn't have too much time to try and start early so it all came down to the 13 and 14th again... but unlike last year, I didn't finish it "barely in time" :^P It's 3 AM your time now, and I think you just went to bed.

You're probably going like "s'ok" and even though I believe you when you say it's ok, I myself don't think it is. I've always liked you a little bit more than just a friend, and I think you know this... and because I really want to make these things for you, for me failure to "deliver" means failing those feelings and that's just... something I really don't want to do. I would like to think that I can set myself to a goal and be determined to finish it. The determination is there, fortunately, but I guess getting started is just hard. Maybe I just try too difficult stuff to try to impress you... the picture as you see it, although I guess I'm satisfied with it, was not exactly what I had in mind. I had to freewheel the roses near the end... PSP was giving me an extremely hard time and all those little petals were driving me crazy X^D

I hope this doesn't sound too emo like that mail I remember sending you over a year ago (boy, was I depressed back then X^D) but this way you can get some insight into the how and why, and I always feel better expressing these sort of things :^) It's like I can get my mind to order by writing it down. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic :^)

Rests me to conclude with my hope that (even in spite of the above X^D) you're willing to pretend it's still the 14th when you read this ;^)

Happy Valentine's Day, Laurie :^)
