Do you have the parcel yet? I'm just asking because we'd like to know how you two liked the things I've sent.

... WE HAVE THE PARCEL!!!
Thank you so much! We're both wearing ours almost 24/7, exceptions are swimming and sleeping - no ruining allowed. Gisela is fully showing off (no problems there, she already can, and the necklace is really great) and I just love mine! I mean, your ideas are amazing! Also: Your writing is very easy to read and your signature is not a scribble. Want to see my father's? That's worse.
Again, THANKS SO MUCH!!!

GolfingLioness In reply to TheFirstTree [2009-12-18 18:56:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm so glad you like it!

Glad you think my ideas are good, also, means a lot.

Can Gisela write something as a comment as well? Not that I'm not happy with the comment I got, I'm more than happy, but I'd like to hear something from her.

And yes, I'd like to see your father's signature; probably not possible though.

P.S.: Accidentally removed you from dA watch when the connection was playing up. Am adding again.

TheFirstTree In reply to GolfingLioness [2009-12-18 19:07:51 +0000 UTC]

you back!

Hehe... no problem.

She is about to, but hold yourself tight. This essay of hers will include a lot of Thank You's, OMGs/OMSs (Oh my sack, which doesn't really work for her) and Love You's. You holding? Good.

Oh My God, Ana, YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!! Why did you send me something anyway? Never mind that... I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! The necklace is so great and our parents are full of envy (they're green, in any case ) so... WE'VE decided to get you a (probably late) New Year's gift as well! Oh, and of course a birthday present in March. Back to topic. THANKS SO MUCH, hey! I seriously think that we must get you a ticket to SA for your birthday... but somehow I think your parents wouldn't approve of us. I get that feeling. I mean, we're in AFRICA whilst you are in EUROPE, as in, fully sophisticated continent on Planet Earth. Would you want to come here? (Please say yes...)
Again, THANK YOU, ANA! You're the Best!

Right, back to me... (GJ). I bet you'll get a heart attack from all of that. That depends whether you want me to scan in my English exam... maybe not.

That's fine. No problem. And you don't NEED to have me in your DW at all, if you don't want to. But it is nice, though.

GolfingLioness In reply to TheFirstTree [2009-12-19 09:41:13 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, as much as I'm flattened by that reply, there's really no more need for gifts!

I'm perfectly happy with the two I have recieved, as the bookmark is used to mark my fave book currently, and the calendar is hanging next to my desk.

If you two send me too many gifts, I'll also feel guilty because I've only sent you two necklaces for Christmas.

As for SA, sure I'd love to come, but let's wait a bit with that, shall we?

Once again, glad you like it!

TheFirstTree In reply to GolfingLioness [2009-12-19 18:32:56 +0000 UTC]

Objection, your honour! We are already contemplating your birthday present. Make that presents. It might come in a huge package!

So? I quote Gisela: 'There's no such thing as too many gifts. Because in each one, a little love is hidden. The more gifts, the more love.' She is so totally going to be a great sensei when she grows up...
Then we're happy! If our presents are put to good use, we are sivuyele! Sivuyele means 'happy' in some african language. Forgotten which.

Reminder of Sensei Gisela's words: 'The more gifts, the more love.' And two presents for two presents. That reminds me of something that Winry Rockbell says in Fullmetal Alchemist: 'Equal Trade.'

Supposedly, I must think that Gisela was correct. Never mind, then.



I have something here... and it may sound really random, but I found something I've been looking for a long time. And what is it? The start of our very first conversation on The Clan! I also thought that I had started it, but it turns out, you did! And you said...

Hi!
This might sound really random, but I always wanted to meet someone from South Africa!

Just a question, how's the lineart coming along?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheFirstTree In reply to GolfingLioness [2009-12-15 20:37:54 +0000 UTC]

You will never believe what happened. Gisela was busy helping me with my first Fullmetal Alchemist artwork, but then it got too bumpy, so we gave up and stuck it in the boot, where there were also two cans of not completely sealed off beer my father had bought about an hour ago. But we didn't know that they weren't completely closed. So, my drawing pad (and Gisela's) got completely soaked, and all of the colour of the FMA artwork diffused into the lineart which was on the paper above it, so now the lion is stained red, black and grey with tinges of green and blue. Gisela was seriously pissed and now we both have extra pens, extra drawing pads and we get a scanner for our computer. We whined the whole day through until we got all of that.
Also: We just came home from a sort of crappy elongated holiday in frikkin' Durban ten minutes ago and Gisela is busy drawing your lineart again. I can't tell you how sorry she is. She had to have like three cokes before she calmed downand de-hyperactivated. I'm really sorry too. Lineart should be done tomorrow. Give us that much time? Please?

You're way too nice to me. I don't deserve being kind to. In my opinion.

Oh, yeah, I need to tell you something. Guess what I found in my letterbox today! Yep, well, not your package, but a notification that IT HAS ARRIVED and where. We're going to pick it up tomorrow! Thanks a bunch! And your Christmas present (small but expensive and good for 2010) has been sent like a week ago. Hope you like it!

GolfingLioness In reply to TheFirstTree [2009-12-16 16:07:18 +0000 UTC]

Glad it has arrived, just wanted to ask you.

Oh my. You've sent ANOTHER present? I really don't deserve such, shall I call it, attention.

Just got it today, by the way; thank you so much, it's a very nice present! Thanks again!

TheFirstTree In reply to GolfingLioness [2009-12-16 16:26:51 +0000 UTC]

Hehe... today's a public holiday, so no-one was there and we couldn't pick it up.

Um, hello, that was supposed to be your Christmas present. Oh well, early Christmas, then. :/.

And yes, you deserve another present. Only you seem to have enough stamina to not run away screaming from me. I'm completely demented, so you should!

Gisela has decided to give you another lineart, no LK, but still a lion in her traditional-comic style. Is that okay?

Just fine, thanks; didn't have to go to school today as I was sick, so I couldn't go to the post office either. Will get the parcel under way soon.

By the way, don't mean to rush you or anything, but how's the TLK lineart coming along? Incase you still want me to do it?

Dear Georg-Jan and Gisela,

It's finally arrived, and the only thing I have to say is, thank you so very much for deciding to send me this; it's a great gift, and it definately made my evening when I opened the letter in front of the post office.

My mom likes all of it too, and I'll be going to get something for you both as well, to send you something in return. I already have something in mind for Gisela, and I'll see what about you.

Again, thanks so much again, for the bookmark (it's amazing!), the note and the postcard - the photo looks nice as well!

Regards to your family as well! I'll try to get your package on the way sometime this week.

Again, thanks a lot!

TheFirstTree In reply to GolfingLioness [2009-11-18 17:59:14 +0000 UTC]

Dear Ana

*after swooning over reply* Awww... that's so sweet. Does that mean you could read the letter? Gisela said that she could, seeing as we have almost the same handwriting and all.

*choking* Wh-at? You don't need to get us anything! This was a pleasure, no harm done! Gisela is jumping up and down and cannot stop saying Thank you and You're welcome the whole time.

No problem! Does that mean that it came in one piece? (please say yes). The photo is crap. Don't ask - don't tell.

Already done!
