Driving and Heart Day challenge

soc_puppetHad a good day today. The coffee-and-donuts thing that happened every week after church has officially been cacelled ;_; for one reason and another, but other than that had a really good time. Ended up knotting in church, because drawing, which I tried last week to keep my hands occupied, did not work out too well.
Was bullied into driving by Mom ^^; It's not that I dislike driving; nor is it that I'm a bad driver (I think I'm pretty damn good, in fact). It's just that I'm lazy about getting my liscence. So, drove Tomas to his confirmation meeting this afternoon. Went to K-mart afterwards to get me a new watch, as my old one had finally broken. (It was a good watch for only ten bucks.) Spent most of the time convincing myself that no, I do not actually need a pocket watch, despite how snazzy it would be. Ended up getting a nice little blue watch.
Went to Ben Franklin's after that (this is a craft store, of which there are only four left(?) in the country--and about three of those are on the east coast ^^;). There was a sidewalk sale going on, and Mom bought a bunch of dollhouse miniature stuff to send to my baby cousin Kate (whose birthday it is today; happy first, Katie-chan!). I got some beads, because I've recently learned a way to weave them into headbands and bracelets and stuff ^_^. A way that does _not_ involve a loom! So, got some beads. And some jump loops, because they were on sale.
Since we were in the mall anyway, we stopped by Waldenbooks, and I spent what little money I have on a copy of xxxHolic (volume 4). (The Japanese sample in the back has Doumeki's name <3 <3 <3. (Socchan: Oh! The kanji at the bottom is 'oni'! And the one in the middle is for 'eye'! And the one at the top is--shit, I know this kanji. I _know_ I know this kanji. So why can't I remember it?! *looks it up* Oh, 'one hundred'. Wait, so Doumeki's name is 'hundered eye demon'? *bursts out laughing*))
Hey, let's play a game! It's called 'see if Socchan will bite off more than she can chew'
What this game involves:
Well, see, I know what I'm doing for my RL friends and my family for Valentine's Day; I bought a mold and melting chocolate (thanks for the tips,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ysabet!). But I feel guilty only doing things for people I know IRL.
So I think, well, I still have about a week until Heart Day; I can just do fandom-related mini-gifts.
Challenge is open to: Anyone and everyone who might want something. And when I say 'anyone and everyone', I _mean_ 'anyone and everyone'. Friends, enemies, lurkers, _everyone_. So if you want something, ask! Chances are you'll get it. (<--- likes doing things for people)
What you get: Something small; I have a few things I need to be doing already for V-day, but I'm willing to take on a little more. Either a small drawing (probably of chibis) or a few hundred words written. Most likely fluff, unless you specifically request not.
Theme will be: Couples oriented. (Note: couples is not limited to two people) Request your favorite, and I'll do my best to come up with something for them.
Requests are limited to: One per person, but not one per fandom/pairing/etc. As in, if two different people ask for the same thing, I'll be making two different things. Oh, and nothing NC-17.
Return gifts: For those who want to give me something in return, White Day is just around the corner ^_^. Or, if you decide to give me something for Heart Day, I'll have to give _you_ a return gift on March 14.
Challenge closes: Art requests absolutely cannot come in any later than 3:00 p.m. U.S. Central time on February 14. (Mistress of Foxes, that's about 9:00 p.m. your time, I think.) Any later than that and they won't be up on time. Writing requests probably shouldn't come in any later than 8:00 p.m. U.S. Central time on February 14, so I can have a little time to come up with an idea, write it, and type it up. A note to the wise: get your requests in early so I can be sure to fit them in!
I look forward to hearing from you ^^v
