Ah, no, not really. I would only say I'm "looking forward to" Spring, my favorite season by far. My mind is just obsessed with the concepts of both holidays right now. They're both colorful, fun, and uplifting. Also it could be argued that they both feature chocolate and creatures that are not human, but I'm more referring to the spirit of the holidays.

I think in part I'm just finding it really inspiring haha.

Ah yeah, spring is a great season. After suffering through a long winter there's little that's nicer than a warm spring day! I'm with you on that. I've had enough winter and am definitely ready for some warm can-go-outside weather.

Gotcha, inspiration is always nice to have. What are you using your inspiration to create?

Hey all! Hope you're all doing well!

I went on a date today :o

DO TELL ;)

Hey hey! Well I'm currently on the Creeping Vial, which is the last virus I want! So I'm all caught up with those, but not nearly caught up with all of the beanbags and plushies in the parlor. Oh well, I've done my best lol

What said! ;)

I'm working on the 30 token plushies today. So MANY tokens, urgh. I figure I'll borrow the nightgowns if I need to. That's all I really have left.

I also got lobster face. I'm out of viruses I really want, so I'm picking ones I sorta like but will probably never use.

It's with a guy that I met at an exchange dinner two weeks ago. He's really nice :) We went for lunch together. He might be a bit too... politicsey for mey though XD

Aw, you still have time to get some more!

And nice! I'm getting my last virus as well :)

Yeah, I'll probably never use 75% of the skins and viruses I have lol

Aww, that's neat! I can see how talking about politics on a first date would definitely be a turn-off lol

I like the wig you're using!

I think next year I'll focus more on biting people after I get a new virus. I've only bitten 10/100 times for the achievement lol

Yeah I think I'll end up trying to borrow the gowns. I bought the eye makeups for the other achievement, and already sold them in my shop because I know I won't use them. It's really nice when people lend out achievement items!

Ah yeah, talking politics on a first date is a bit intense for a first date. Did you have a good time otherwise? Enough for a second date?

Yup, I'm starting to think I'll just barely get everything I need. But probably have little to no extra for next year. Here's hoping they speed up the drop times for the last day of the event!

I actually liked the eye makeup, so I kept all those. The nightgowns, I doubt I'll use most of them, so I don't really wanna buy them.

If you pick a popular virus, you can bite while you're getting it, so that's always a good option :D

I have so many viruses and I don't use most of them, but some I do so I'm happy I got them. Like the dolly one lol Man, Alexander has been so awesome lately with his Vday prizes! If I can actually sell them, I'll be doing pretty well.

Yeah XD And he doesn't really get science, so trying to explain to him what I do was... Interesting XD

Thanks! I love this design!

Ah, I got that out of the way the first year, thankfully XD XD

I can lend the gowns :)

Yup aha. Yeah, I think so! It's nice to be dating too, so I think I'll give it a chance ^^

They always do that, I'm pretty sure! It's nice to have a little extra in case you have very little time next year!

I can lend you the gowns, no problem :)

Loool I'm sorry it wasn't super great. Do you think you'll see him again? That would be great! I still need to get the other items for the gown achievement, then I can let you know when I'm ready?

Yeah, I think so. I'll have to steer the conversation a bit more aha. I do quite like him though, and it's nice to be dating XD

Lot It's there when you need it :) Trade up when you want it!

Haha, yep, it's the collector in us! It kinda drives me nuts it's impossible to ever get them all!

True, I love when they make quests give out older retired stuff! It adds a fun, surprise element to doing quests, which get kinda boring. What kinda stuff have you got?

Nice! I know how you feel - dating has been priority zero for me for the last couple years given a lot of circumstances. It's nice to have a chance to put yourself out there and do the 'normal' thing!

Exactly, just in case you need to buy something for some reason.

Thanks, I'll let you know once the event is over, if I don't have time to get them!

That's awesome! I hope next time flows better for you ^_^ Josh and I have been together for over 3 years, so I would be so clueless when it comes to dating now. You know, just stare at them awkwardly until they marry me hahaha And thanks for the lot! I'll probably look into getting the other items sometime today. I just don't want to pay for them, but I might just suck it up and do it xD

Yesterday I got these two: and other than that I've gotten a variety of plushies, food, etc. I did get the that used to be on my wl for a long time.

Especially when it's one of Spring's infamously warm and sunny yet rainy days! Those are the best. With or without thunder, either way. I love everything about Spring weather.

Well, one's inspiration doesn't have be directed at creating things. It can just as easily be directed at taking action, or it could inspire a mindset. In this case I am not directly inspired to create, although there is art involved. My inspiration is for the appreciation of the colorful and positive, it's actually in part being caused by my art rather than causing my art.

I could show you the drawings I've been doing lately if you're interested.

OMG, guys I just realized I saved over 2000 hearts in my HOLIDAY GALLERY. I was checking, cause I just realized I might have some survival flowers to finish the achievement. And it turns out, yes I have hundreds. And apparently a gazillion hearts I didn't cash. facepalm All this time, I've been wondering if I could scrape together flowers/hearts enough before the event was over, and they were right there plus some. super facepalm

That are some nice pulls! I haven't got anything that great - just a few wearables around a mil. The flower is super pretty. I use the red version all the time. I was hoping to get the white one (but got another red one) but I can't complain, free stuff is free stuff.

Ah yeah, rain showers are super cool. It's not quite spring here (hello Canada) but it's getting close, and I can't wait. Being able to go outside without a mountain of clothing is the best feeling.

Ah, gotcha. Some people say they need to have muses/inspiration to create etc. I've never really felt that way - for me it's always just a matter of doing. Which some people find strange since I'm a writer for a living! If I decide I'm going to do it, I will.

OMG that hilarious xD I had like 200 hearts saved up for this year and I thought it would be enough, but noOoOope no no. lol Maybe you could find someone to trade a red one for a white one!

As much as I love events, I'm kind of getting tired of kissing people lol

o.o HOW.

Oh, okay. Fair enough ;) How are you?

My weekend is good! Today is my Saturday ;) Went to church then the gym.. just hanging out this aft trying to collect hearts!

DETAILS!

Ugh I'm nowhere close either xP

That's the way I'd felt for a very long time, believing that I needed some idea that I liked enough for it to almost forcefully draw me into creating it. I've personally realized though that that's not the case, just as it's not the case that I can draw just without any reason to draw. I've realized that for me it's about having some goal I'm interested in, like perhaps I want to try hatching, or I want to see what I can do with certain colors. Mostly it seems like I want to always be trying something new or interesting.

As for the earlier statement, oh my. That's a pretty good find, though! You should be thanking yourself on multiple levels for that one hahaha

I use a refresher add-on. :b

You and me both. I'm going to work on a puzzle this afternoon and just kind of have my computer next to me to kiss every once and a while.
