So last week I was complaining about not being able to buy the Little Mermaid on DVD. All my friends bought it and I was kind of bummed. I was also sickly, which is why I think I was bummed about not having my own copy of a Disney cartoon on DVD. (You have to admit though, there really is something special about The Little Mermaid.)
Well, I came home yesterday, went to my mailbox and Lo! there was a box from Amazon.com. I knew I hadn't ordered anything, so I was kind of confused. I opened it, and there was a lovely brand new copy of The Little Mermaid on DVD. My very own. I was frantically searching the receipt to figure out who it was from, and there was a sweet message from the lovely Raia. She got it for me because I was sickly and stressed and she just thought it might make me happy.
Aw. I was ferklempt.
I don't think anyone's ever done something like that for me before and I am really grateful. It totally made my week, and I plopped down and watched the movie right there on the spot. So much fun! I love that movie!
Thank you, Raia. You are a fantastic friend and I greatly appreciate you.

Raia is awesome. But I already knew that.

Oh, that is darling. That makes me feel bad that it didn't even occur to me. I hope you're feeling better, too.

I am, and don't feel bad!! It never occurred to me! I kept saying things like "She a student! She shouldn't have done this!" My sister had to yell at me and tell me not to ruin the present.

Aw yay!
and ferklempt is an awesome word.

I'm so glad you liked it! And yay... my own thread! Hehe... this just made me really happy. I kinda had a crappy day (midterms and the like), so coming back to Hatrack to find this thread just brightened it enormously. Narnia, my dear, you are MOST welcome, and I hope the movie is just as awesome now as it used to be when it first came out!
Btw, to the rest of you: Thanks a million! I love you guys.
P.S. Ferklempt IS an awesome word.
