Got My Feelings Hurt Again

 
I was asked awhile back by someone I know from Facebook if I could contribute some of the action figures and stuff that didn't sell at my disaster of a garage sale a few weeks back to her little auction for a group she works will. Since I know and admire this person on Facebook I was glad to pay it forward. I am in that mode these days. (Lets see how long all that lasts in this cold, cruel world).

I had this great idea to create a boy toy box and a girl toy box that they could raffle off. The mystery boxes would have bee stuffed with cool stuff that I just have lying around. They would be great Christmas gifts for whomever won the raffle. I realize I got all excited for a second there about the project but before I could say anything more it got totally shot down. Like a hot air balloon falling from the sky it was shot down. I felt like a total fool for getting all worked up. So I will pick out a few nice things, send them along and mind my own business from now on. I hope they get a nice price along with the baked good.

I will find some things and post the pictures here. I have no idea what the send now. What kind of toys and I now have a lot of graphic novels to choose from but who would go for those? I wish she would have given me some indication about what she wanted but she was very vague and that stuff makes me anxious. With a little direction I could have been happy with my contribution and not have to stress about what others thought because of course I will never know.

And that is why my feelings are hurt.

 
I hate this Fluke Man from X-Files.
So I wonder how he will do at a silent auction?

Yeah, send Fluke Man. He's crying out for a new home.

Cast your fate to the wind and send the things that appeal to you. Whomever gets them will be incredibly happy, believe me.
I do understand the disdain you all have Fluke Man but there's something about him that transcends ugliness. A certain Lovecraft quality. If nothing else, he represents, in a physical form, our current election down here.

Don't take it to heart, people get a vision in their head and are usually unresponsive to input that's not identical to theirs. It's human nature.
