Strangetown extras: Feeling the love

[strangetomato]

Let's take a moment to remember the many faces of love on this, the 14th of February. As our friends in Strangetown have shown us, there are many types of love out there. Whether in an established relationship, one just starting out, or with someone you barely know, an unrequited crush, self love, or love of family and friends. Love comes in so many forms.

Sometimes it's the little things that show the greatest love of all...

Happy Valentine's Day! Go ahead and enjoy your favourite sort of love.

That was so sweet!
This montage actually moved me!

And I agree that sometimes, the greatest forms are love are not the ones that holidays like today's and the mass media often tell us about. Romantic/Couple love is nice, but so is to feel surrounded by good friends and a warm family. And to love your-self, as Ripp showed us in the pics (LOL, although I'm not sure his self-steem is as high as he tries to make you think) .

You don't need to do big things either. The pics of the omelette, the bath, the comforting and playing with younger siblings. Those are subtle but strong forms of love. I was reminded of my little sisters :).

And just to note that Tank is not as "newbie" in the romance matters as Ripp might think. I'm reading your last update (I was in the middle, but then the electricity went out for a while) and now that I've seen your pics, I'm giggling.

Thanks for the update! :)

It was pretty moving for me to go through these photos to find all these moments. It was really nice, and I'm glad that feeling came across in the montage. There's a lot of love in Strangetown. All kinds.

I definitely think that the little things are the most special, and they usually don't have anything to prompt the person to do them (like a holiday or special date), so it's more genuine.

Those photo booth photos with Ripp crack me up. You're right - Ripp really doesn't have self-esteem quite as high as he portrays most of the time, but he really does had a massive ego. That's the one area of his life that he feels most secure about, so he just goes with it! :D

Yeah, Tank at least knows about it from reading. *snicker* I love seeing who pulls out the romance novel while reading. You'd expect it more from Ripp, but he rarely reads. Tank reads because he's so serious (he reads the paper too). When Ripp reads while relaxing on bed, the book is always upside down, which makes me laugh. He's just pretending to read.

Thanks. I hope to try to slip in a real update sometime today, since last night didn't work out for me.
