Kaolin

Ruth Marchewicz
Do tell
Kaolin
one was for dino's birthday (did i tell you about dino?) and one was for my friend rachel who loves it but doesn't know i'm gonna send it to her
i mean
which
intra or extra parentheses
Ruth Marchewicz
(You did tell me about Dino, they (?) were staying with you when we were first speaking I think)
Kaolin
oh really? that's rare. i don't remember that at all xD
Ruth Marchewicz
And surprise presents are the best kind
Kaolin
she(!)'s awesome
it was her birthday yesterday
Ruth Marchewicz
Yeah, she sounded it from what you said
Kaolin
i timed the postage right, it arrived on the day!!
Ruth Marchewicz
Nicely done
Kaolin
did i ever show you her dinosaur that she draws
i asked her today if she had a name for it and she said He(!) is named Dimitri, as of today xD
she never named him but decided to once i asked xD

she's been drawing him since she was a kid and ended up getting him tattooed on her left arm
Ruth Marchewicz
You didn't, he is adorable
Kaolin
i met her on a forum
i met this lady named crystal on a forum about pokemon, and she had her own forum, so i went there
Ruth Marchewicz
Cool
Kaolin
and the day i signed up, august 1st 2009, i ran into dinowoman who moderates crystal's forum
we got along really well and became friends
on that forum, she has a custom emote

someone made this for her
every year since i met her, i've gotten her some kind of dinosaur-related birthday present
this year i specifically made her one and she LOVED it
Ruth Marchewicz
Awesome
Kaolin
the first thing i got her was a mug printed with art made by her and all the other artists on the forum, and paid for by everyone on the forum
she still uses it
the main piece of artwork is one of hers
i doubt i'll ever top that xD
Ruth Marchewicz
(Sorry for all the short answers, depression etc)
That's a brilliant present
Kaolin
(that's fine, i'm enjoying gushing right now anyway)
i could talk about dino forever
she is the best person i know
Ruth Marchewicz
I got that impression
Kaolin
the one thing i dread more than any other is the day that she dies
she's listed as my mother on facebook and both of my parents are like "that's fair"
Ruth Marchewicz
Haha
Kaolin
my dad hasn't met her but my mum has, the first time we met was when i invited her to visit my exposition in college
i did an art
Ruth Marchewicz
(To the second part, obv)
Kaolin
and she was like heck yeck
yes xD
"i hate the knowledge that she'll die" "haha"
a+ friending
Ruth Marchewicz
Very me
Kaolin
so yeah she came to visit
hung out for a few days
i'd recently made her an art for her wall and it'd have been inconvenient to post it because it was large
so she took that back with her
it's in her living room now, above the radiator, in the main part of the room
Ruth Marchewicz
Lovely
Kaolin
(it's a picture of miles edgeworth from the ace attorney series)
(we both love him)
(like, we both LOVE him. a LOT)
Ruth Marchewicz
I don't know who that is, or what that is
Kaolin
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/aceattorney/images/9/97/Youngsworth.png/revision/latest?cb=20161208175930
he's the main prosecutor in the Ace Attorney video game series
Ruth Marchewicz
The guy from the meme
Kaolin
what meme
is it a nice meme
Ruth Marchewicz
Objection
Kaolin
yes objection
he yells objection sometimes
Ruth Marchewicz
It's a reaction really but it's def in the meme realm
Kaolin
yeah i know of what you speak
he is a beautiful man and i love him and he is precious
he was raised by an asshole and taught to repress everything and through the series he occasionally expresses himself but in a way that's like
way too much
he overdoes it
and it's FUCKING ADORABLE AND I LOVE HIM

Ruth Marchewicz
Fair enough
Kaolin
anyway i made her a picture of him
Ruth Marchewicz
Yeah
Kaolin
and it's on her wall
in fact i think another picture of him is on another wall
she has this gallery of stuff sent to her by internet friends, going up the stairs
i think another edgeworth picture i made is on the stairs
Ruth Marchewicz
Reasonable, considering the love. And that's a lovely idea
Kaolin
right!!
also she has so many
and i think that just
speaks to her worth
the fact that she's had to dedicate a hallway to display the stuff her friends have sent her from all over the dang planet
Ruth Marchewicz
Yeah
Kaolin
and she probably doesn't even realise that it could be seen as egotistical
like, her dino drawing didn't even have a name until i pointed out he didn't have a name xD
it's been 60 years!!
well, more like 50
but still!!
