I am not the most creative person when it comes to ideas for b-days and anniversaries. Other than writing poems, I have never done anything "extra" special. I am looking forward to the responses of others.

Think about him. Things he likes. Has he mentioned something he wants, something he's always wanted to do or somewhere he would like to go?
Women tend to buy or do things that we like.
For anniversaries, I find most men don't look at them the same way we do. Most likely something that envolves some hot sex will make him happy.

BTW, DJ, I love a guy who can express himself through poems.

I've only ever once used a poem, and I found that one in a book.
I'm just not good enough with words to write poetry, though I understand it well enough. Instead, if I want to express myself artistically, I'll draw something.

Birthdays dont mean too much to me (Mine is christmas eve, go figure) nor do anniversaries. Way I look at it, it's no different from the day before it, and the day before is no different from the day before that, you know? If you're going to celebrate life, either yours or someone else's, why limit yourself to a birthday? And the same for anniversaries. If you're going to celebrate that you are together, why limit yourself to an anniversary? Isnt it kinda like you're keeping score as to how long you've been together, rather than just being thankful that you're together?

That said, I still go out of my way to do something special for anniversaries and birthdays, because I recognize their importance to other people. Personally I prefer to celebrate all the time. Give gifts because I feel like it and because the person is special to me. Have a party for no other reason than because we're alive, we're together, and we can.
I dunno, anyone else feel this way? Or am I the weird one?

IOUs

Back in grad school I was always strapped for cash. I was in a great relationship and wanted to make our anniversary special. So I got some bright colored paper, glitter, and a big magic marker and created these - I guess - coupons "redeemable at any time" for various sexual acts. I really enjoyed making them and he loved using them.

I think it kicked up our sex life for the next 6 months. Whenever we were fighting, he'd threaten to turn in one of his coupons - we'd start laughing and the fight was over. :lol:

lol I can picture it now... you date a guy that's hung like a bull, and without thinking make one of the coupons for anal sex... I can see how that might be a threat he could use to win an argument :lol:

actually, me and my second gf, Ashley, did something similar. Wasnt actually directly related to sex, more of a "redeemable for one favor" kind of thing. Funny thing is, I was going to use one to get her to sort of pose for a drawing, and the first thing she asked was for me to draw a picture of her.

Not only are you our favorite but you're an unbelievable artist. Your sense of depth and perspective is wonderful as well as your line work. You should be very proud of your work.

Do you have more?

tons more
I wasnt actually entirely happy with that drawing because though the lines and shading were almost exact, i still couldnt quite capture it properly, you know?

I still have a gallery up at elfwood, but the content is rather limited, since the gallery is designated "high fantasy" only. meaning anything not magical/otherworldly/medieval is pretty much rejected.

I'll put a few up more on my photobucket account in a few minutes, but what I have scanned doesnt begin to cover the stuff I have drawn (I got a 2 inch stack of drawings in my room, ranging from high school to current, and I've given away 3 times as much over the years.)

should get you into my photobucket, I made it public so you shouldnt need a password.

Oh by the way, I got hit by a car on the way home from work, and the front tire of my mountain bike is a complete write-off. We swapped info, he's supposed to call me tomorrow about replacing the tire. I got off easy, only a few scrapes here and there, nothing major. (the worst is a scrape the size of a dime on my elbow)

I'll have to check out your work. The one pic was very good.
Was the car at fault for this accident? If so, I think I'd be picking out a new mountain bike, if I were you.

Thu, 06/02/2005 - 09:42

yup, he was. He didnt actually come to a full stop at the intersection. He said he was looking the other way and didnt see me right away, and that he always comes to a "coasting stop"
I dont need a new bike, just the front tire replaced. Actually I'm in the process right now of scavenging a tire off my old bike to replace it for today, until he gets me a new one. I'll take a pic later of the tire that got run over, but I dont have time now. :P

It's funny...the rest of your work is great but it doesn't hit my like the picture of your former girlfriend. I guess love does inspire us all. When you look at that picture it's almost like I feel what you felt when you were looking at her - like I'm experiencing your relationship vicariously.

You are a great lover of women, cuntlicker. :wink:

a lot of the drawings I put up were done after looking at something that I thought looked cool. So naturally there's not a lot of feeling to them even though I got them as technically accurate as I could.

I dont really know how much feeling you get out of my drawing of Ashley, but I can almost guarantee it doesnt scratch the surface. I still remember the last time I saw her, at the mall here in Fredericton, with another guy. The smile on her face... You know what it's like when loving someone is as natural as breathing, even years after you broke up, and you see them show that special smile to someone else?
I was happy for her. Really I was. She has had far too many reasons not to smile. But the sense of loss, knowing that it wouldnt be me that she was smiling at like that... By the time my friends got done their shopping (my friend's gf was picking out some new clothes for him) and found me again, I was sitting in front of the theater. They said it looked like every muscle in my body was twitching, like little ripples all over me, but I wasnt moving. I didnt want to cry in public.
I really got drunk that night...

Well, I think I have to go draw something soon. Dont think I'll be posting this one up when it's done.

[Edit] Nevermind. It's nights like this I am reminded why I love my cat so much. Amazing how something so small can make us feel so much better. [/Edit]

Oh, and sorry about the threadjacking...

btw, the guy that hit me called today to ask the size of tire that I need, as he forgot to find out from me that night. He promised to get hold of me again tomorrow.

Hi Provocative,

try using certain body parts to serve treats ( and get treated at the same time). Some nice melted chocolate and whipping cream placed in just the right locations can lead to a very memorable Anniversary!
