A Present.

I always feel bad when guys get me presents. This may happen with most girls, I don't know. I'm not most girls. I'm Heather. And it bothers me.

It's probably because most guys that I've dated haven't...been the best when it comes to gifts. One guy gave me weird random stuff to impress me, such as a cell phone that matched his. O_o It was a cool phone and all...but I had a cell phone already...?

Another guy gave me roses a lot. Maybe twice a month. If you think about it...thats a lot of roses. And after a while, roses get boring. It's cool once or twice, on super special occasions and all, but...not so much anymore. There are other flowers...besides roses...did you know that? And for any other present, he gave me Nebraska Cornhusker themed things. Hoodies, lanyard, trash can (...?), a stuffed animal in the Husker colors...yeah...O_o

I sound like an ungrateful whiner. I really don't mean to be. All those different things were sweet...but...meh. This is my blog. I'm allowed to say what I want right?

I think that getting a girl roses over and over again is kind of...clingy. Pushy, maybe? I don't know. And Husker stuff...a shirt or something, thats nice. I live in Nebraska, I should own a shirt. But really...a trash can?

And the cell phone. That was weird. Maybe you don't agree...but shh. My blog. He was a creeper anyways.

Plus, I feel rotten when people spend money on me. Especially when its unnecessary.

What I'm trying to say is, I personally think gifts should be things that MEAN something. Maybe something to remind you of an inside joke, or something that you've talked about, or something you KNOW the other person has wanted for a while.

Well, my birthday is this Saturday, October the fourth. I haven't been excited for it.

Mitch told me he was getting me a present, and I was like Rats. Mostly cause I didn't want his money to go to me. But still...past experience with guys and presents...not so hot.

I got the package from one Mitchell Petters, and realized that I was actually excited. I've gotten close to him, and really trusted that thought had gone into the present.

I opened it, and it was terrific.

There was a Support the Troops magnet, because mine had been thrown away by a ridiculous person, and Mitchell remembered me telling him about it. That meant a lot. First, cause he remembered. Second, the Military is important. To me, to him, and hopefully to you too.

There was also a bag of brown sugar. Random right? Nope. Again, a little piece of a story remembered. The same ridiculous person threw away my brown sugar, because it was hard. o_o. Brown sugar does that. >_> Geez. But yes. With these two things, this gift was already freaking studly. I loved it. Then I look and see that there is something else, wrapped in wrapping paper, complete with the nakey face O_O on it, hand crafted by Mitchell. ^_^

I unwrapped it, and it was a drawing tablet. One that hooks up to the computer so that you can create studly things on photoshop and other stuff. I've wanted one for at least a year now, but never got, for different various reasons. He had researched and found one that was basic enough that I'd be able to actually use it without freaking at all the buttons and instructions, and he made sure it would work with my computer and all that other stuff. He even researched the problems I may have with installing it and all that, so that if I couldn't figure something out, he could be right there to help me do it.

Oh my heck.

How much better can a gift from a boyfriend get? Not freaking much better at all. Cause there was thought put into it. Which is the best. HE is the best.

The End.
