okay so totally don't take this the wrong way
this is really just my opinion and it doesn't count for much...
but my initial impression of this is that it's sort of... well... taking the incomplete dying act of a japanese cancer patient and turning it into a sort of hokey hallmark-esque thing.
in case you've never heard the story of Sadako, she was a survivor of the a-bomb at hiroshima. she developed leukemia as a result of the radiation and her dying wish was to make 1000 paper cranes. she did not succeed
does anyone else feel like doing this is sort of like... shallow?
i'm sorry to be a total downer, it's just... an impression i got and your girlfriend may feel the same? eh? something to think about?
i hate being a downer
I didn't know and I doubt she will either.
To me it's more a question of something that shows caring, effort and uniqueness.
Seriously, that was someone's dying wish? I can think of a few things myself, and none would ever amount to wanting to make a bunch of paper cranes.

p.s. it's my birthday tomorrow, what did you get me SE++?
Ain't you worried you're setting the bar a little high with something like this? Every other present you get her, for however long your relationships lasts, is gonna be compared to this whole situation. Gonna have to spend your whole damn life trying to be creative and unique.
Gotta set that initial standard low, and build from there. Start with like a bag of Skittles. That'll make the following year's oven mitt seem THAT much better.

Actually her hope was to make a thousand cranes because then it would give her one wish, and that wish was to survive.
Its actually incredibly sad.

Yeah, everyone in our apartment seems to be getting on the singles train.
Except for Tracy and her bizarre dinners with Jeff.
GoFund The Portland Trans Pride March, or Show It To People, or Else!
However, we may be breaking up soon because, well, its complicated. Gonna leave it at that.
It just sucks because I really like this one.

I'm not marrying her until I'm ready for kids
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

I turned 20 yesterday
It's nice not to be a teenager anymore, technically

No. We have separate rooms. It isn't really awkward.

I already know what I'm going to get her anyways.
And for Valentine's Day, I bought her an assortment of cheeses and a book on appreciating cheese.
I have set the bar only at navel height.
The bar can only go higher
