Y'know, I'd furgotten how much I liked using colored pencils until I did this... Sure as hell got mah hand sore though.

Storytime... *holds up an open palm*

Fur a while now, I've been hurting so very much. Somebody...I'd love to be petty enough to name, or be cruel to, but...no... shi told me everything I ever wanted to hear, made me believe everything I never thought I could. Shi made me happy, and moreso yet, gave me peace. Something just alien to me really, more than most anyone realizes, unless copious amounts of sex or booze are involved... or Nyquil as I discovered not too long ago. *snickers* But shi lied to me. Shi betrayed my trust and deserted me very cruelly, after everything I'd fought fur, everything I'd sacrificed.

I'd never felt so horrible, awful, hurt, or frankly put; ugly. Been that way fur a while now inside. Trying to be happy, but still hurting, remembering. The old itches returning with a vengeance, yes indeed... *chuckles and swigs hir vodka* I healed a bit, in time. But not fully... Many folks tried to cheer me up, and in many inventive ways. Some tried to prey on my emotions... *sighs distastefully* But that's just people fur ya... *waves dismissively*
Until someone came along and did something strange, something I really can't describe, at least not in any great detail... not here anyways. *cackles madly* Shi made me genuinely happy. It was a magic kind of thing, amazing and wonderful all at the same time, *Cups hir hands to her face* Scary as shit!*
Ever look at something, the same something you see everyday, same thing on that same place there, and one day you look at it, and it's something else, something you've never noticed before? *sighs and slides onto hir couch, dippy dreamy smile* And all you can do is stare in open-eyed amazement, too dumbstruck to speak... like a total jackass? *laughs lightly* That's what happened here. Shi did something... that made me so happy... so full inside. Hir sweetness, hir compassion, hir trust and innocence, the magic between us... *fidgets about, ansy, feeling fur words* hell... I'm myself again, and I owe it to hir... well, hir and  Bootstrap .. 'cause it's his fault we got together. *laughs* and I love the lil' bugger fur it dearly. *laughs and downs hir drink* He's more than furriend now, more than family even to me. *smirks and pours another toast to hir furriend*

As is shi... I love you dearly my darling babe. This one's to you, my muse, my flower, *sighs* my little Lupine Michelle Shock. Happy Valentines day, baby. *kisses*
