PhuturePriest Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I'm high in the gifts category and I can say, without a doubt, that is a flat-out lie. Please do not give me a card over a $2,000,000 car. Ha. Then you're not truly in the gift category. You love the things people give you, not the thought or love behind them.

veritasluxmea Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I do love the things people give me, especially when they're $2,000,000 cars and I'm not feeling sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I remember you once telling me you didn't particularly crave or enjoy physical affection, but that your children do. Yes, them and Matt. I think the phrasing of the questions sometimes make me answer in a way I might not otherwise respond. Clearly a kiss from my husband is more meaningful than a present, but I really like presents. I know he likes to kiss me, but putting forth the effort to give me something (be it flowers from a hike he took with the kids or something he bought) shows he put in extra effort and makes me feel special. I used to score higher on gifts, it was like #2 before, now its tied for last with touch. Matt says apparently I just like a little bit of everything. (My highest marks were in quality time and words of affirmation, I think, touch and gifts were both 5).

Lilllabettt Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 you know FP, I am someone who is always passing through. so far anyway. I have a handful of dear friends scattered across cities all over this lonely planet. Most I knew for a brief moment and I expect I will never see again. Doesn't mean those relationships lack meaning or even that they are "over." But I think of myself as living in the pinball machine of destiny. I roll into the lives of those I'm meant to. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the people I'm supposed to in any one place. But without fail I do. And when my part is played and my purpose is served I roll away again. I could think of this state of affairs as pathetic, and on a conventional level it is, maybe. But I choose to consider myself a sort of mystical wizard or elf type thing. yah. so the point is: Not all who wander are lost, amirite? Don't worry about your friends. enjoy the wilderness while you're in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm high in the gifts category and I can say, without a doubt, that is a flat-out lie. Please do not give me a card over a $2,000,000 car. Then you're not truly in the gift category. You love the things people give you, not the thought or love behind them. I think, FP, that perhaps you just chose the wrong example of gift-giving. I don't think there are very many people here who would say, with perfect honesty, I'd rather you give me a good-wishes card than a $2,000,000 car. Now, of course, this sort of thing isn't always the case -- I'd rather my best-friend just come and hang out in my apartment with me than get orchestra tickets for the opera -- but I think that the card and the car were just a bad choice of examples. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
