Where to begin, where to begin…?
Uhm…Well. A year. Sounds like quite a long time, right? Twelve months. Fifty two weeks. Three hundred and sixty five(six ever forth year) days. To some of you, it doesn’t sound like that long of a time, but to most of you, I bet it sounds like a lot.
To me, right now, it doesn’t feel like any time at all, but I still feel like what happened exactly a year ago has been there my entire life. Do you remember what happened the 9th October 2007? I do. *Monkeymaniac remembers it too. What happened was that *Monkeymaniac asked me to be her girlfriend(more about that event can be read here: [link] ).
Now, a year later, I love her more than ever. She means the world to me. Dr. Phil always says: “Don’t put more into a relationship than what you can afford to lose.” You know what? I don’t care. I love my Kanna just as much as I want to. And more. Geez, it can’t be healthy. >>

The drawing, yes…
I was originally going for the ‘romatic-pic-of-Kanna-and-me’-thing, buuuut…I started the drawing too early. Ended up hating it yesterday and started this one instead. Oh, shut it…I can give myself a bishoujofication whenever I feel like it. I figured that since I wasn’t able to do the romantic-couple-thing I’d draw something I knew Kanna’d like. At least I hope so. That’s why I chose…myself. Hey, there’s gotta be a reason why we’re still together, right?
Oh, yeah…my hair is darker now. Anyway. This picture contains some symbols and stuff.
The circle/ring, it has no end, no beginning. It’s eternal. That’s what I feel about Kanna too. I can’t remember what it felt like before her and I can’t imagine an everyday without her.
The…thing on my head. Yeah, the gold-thing. There’s a triangle on it, see it? Yeah. A triangle like that is, if I’m not wrong, a symbol of female. We’re both females, so yeah.
The water fall. Yup, in the background there. Yes, it’s supposed to be a water fall. There’s a lot of energy in those. Passion.
Angel wings, because I like angels and because Kanna’s mother compared me with an angel a few days ago. Christianity has angels; Christianity= cross. Kanna’s mother gave me a necklace with a cross last winter as a symbol of me belonging to their family.
Use of the colour white. It’s a pure colour, but the colour I usually choose to shade white with is light blue. Have you ever seen a mountain far back in the horizon? It gets more and more light blue the further away it is. Kanna and I live on different sides of the country. Norway is a long country.
Use of red/orange. In western countries, red is the colour of love. In…China, I think, it is orange. I also used these because something close to you has a warmer colour than things far away. So even though we live far from each other, we’re really close.
Wings/feathers. With Kanna, I can do anything. If I close my eyes when with her, I can even fly.

Thank you for a wonderful year, Kanna. I love you.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything. But it's wrong. No matter how fast light travels, the darkness has always gotten there first. And is waiting for it.
