Look what DJ sent me!

Perth, Australia
September 4, 2016 8:33am CST
A package arrived for me on Thursday. I thought it was something that I had ordered from Ebay until I read on the box that it was actually from DJ ( @Daljinder ) I was super excited. I knew she had sent me something but wasn't expecting it to come anytime soon. I quickly messaged her letting her know that it had arrived and asking if I could open it. But I opened it way before she replied back haha! I couldn't help it! I was so curious and couldn't stand the suspense! It took like a million years trying to open the box and to see what was inside but when I eventually opened it, I got teary eyed when I saw the first mug. As you can see, the mug on the left says "A hug for you my friend." I fell in love with it straight away. And then I laughed so much when I saw what the second mug said. So cute and so true! Just wanted to show you all what she has sent me. And like I told her, these aren't just mugs. These mean a lot to me and are automatically very sentimental. Thank you again DJ. I love them very much. And just thank you in general for always being there for me even away from MyLot. You really are a best friend of mine!

@JaboUK Yepperz! I have her hooked, lined and sinker. On a serious note, I joined this community to interact. Nothing major as expectation. Making a friend as close as I made in Dani was far from my imagination. She was a total shock to the system. lol Totally unexpected but a very pleasant one. Never thought I would have a best friend again (had made a vow to myself awhile ago) and all across the oceans at that. In fact, I made many friends here (including you). That is why myLot is kind of a special place in itself and hence, I call it my "Happy place".

That is such a nice gift from DJ! See, she does have a soft side! lol I really like the "hug" one, it demonstrates the friendship between you two! And of course, the minion one is funny, because it is definitely something DJ would say! She's watching you Dani! She's watching your every move! LOL

@moffittjc As much as she likes to hide it, I know she does lol And yeah the hug one means a lot to me. It means something to me because I often get frustrated when good friends of mine live so far away. It gets me down sometimes that I can physically spend time with them ( including you ). You're a good friend I've made on here too. And yeah LOL she always said she was my stalker. And she has surely proven that haha

@moffittjc You have no idea. I do watch her every move. She knows that coz I have told her ages ago. At first it was just making sure that whenever she is online on myLot she is not upset or feeling down coz that's the time when she comes here. I noticed that. I become accustomed to the way people talk through their writings and particularly those with whom I interact the most and have taken interest in. I literally used to read each response and comment she ever made. I still do actually! I am a stalker not just in name. lol I did indeed do the stalking. It is now more in a sense that she kind of digs up old posts that I haven't seen. But before I was monitoring her activity to keep a careful eye on her (like a friggen mother hen *enter eye roll*). I know ridiculous. lol (Bad habit of mine ) Each moment I felt the bar going down in her way of writing, I stepped into the conversation and talked about random stupid stuff. It takes her mind off whatever evil she has conjured up in her pretty little head or whatever was bothering her. I don't understand depression Jeff. I may never will coz I haven't gone through it. And to be so far away from her, being her stalker was my way of looking after her. (It still is )

@Daljinder I know, it's hard for me too, having never experienced depression before. The best we can do is stick by her and be good friends to her. She knows who her "go to" people are on this site!

You sent the message at 10:46 a.m. and I replied 1:14 p.m. So, how long did you wait, if at all? There is a confession here lol I was to send only the yellow mug. I haven't placed the order for either of them yet. Then I thought Dani would understand the "I have my eyes on you" thingy but others around her won't. I thought I might come out as a stalker (like real creepy one). So, I looked for one with a message that would comfort you in your down times. Like even if I wasn't there, maybe you can hold onto that. Something tangible! lol I am crazy and too senti. Ignore me! Ah! The packing..... it was fun doing it I told my Dad, "She will be unpacking it into her next birth." Ya know when we went to the post office, a delivery van came through to deliver parcels. The delivery guy was dumping all the boxes without an ounce of care on the ground. I gave my Dad a horrified face and said, "They aren't going to make it." You are always welcome dear one! Helping and supporting is like a second nature to me. I just care! (Picture/poem from Pinterest. Edited by me) P. S. Sowwy! Took me long to reply. I was editing the picture.

@Daljinder I guess I waited like....20-30 minutes lol BUT in my head it was hours so....that counts for something! lol nah you wouldn't have that stalker label even though I know you like it lol but the hugging mug one is exactly how I see it. Something I can look at / hold when I am feeling lonely or down. It's exactly what I do with my Houston bear. Not sure if I ever showed you or told you about that! But it just helps me out a lot! lol well it did take ages but I loved it! It was seriously like a challenge for me trying it open it! So much fun! ah man I freak whenever I send stuff. I worry it will break or get lost or taken to the wrong house. It's a scary process! And that poem was lovely thank you but must say what you said at the end hit me the most. Because it's exactly how I wish to thank you!

@Daljinder lol I know! LOL well I really honestly do enjoy it! I don't know why but it's so much fun! So this is my Houston bear and obviously from Wesley. :P He gave it to me a couple years ago as well as a Houston mug and Houston pen which I keep in my room but this bear pretty much goes with me everywhere. It makes me feel better. In fact I kept it close to me when I was doing that Health & Safety quiz for my nail course. And I gripped onto it when I was waiting for my results. Just makes me feel better having it near by since the person who gave it to me isn't.

@VivaLaDani13 LOL! You waited longer than I anticipated. It's okay though! I didn't wish you to wait either. NO (gasp) It seems like that I know about it but I fail to recall any details about it and that means you haven't yet told me. Okay spill it dude! You have been holding out on me. At least the packaging was good for something other than safeguarding the mugs. I will keep that in mind for future purposes to pack the stuffing out of your gifts/parcels/packages coz Dani enjoys it. Aw nah it's all cool! You are welcome always
