Still a Little Disappointed

All that work, and really for nothing.

Well, never base your fun in hopes that complete strangers will react to whatever you are doing in a fun way. They always disappoint.

We received an e-mail from Becca, one of the cars we recently Valentine'd. She asked, politely, "who is this?" and that was all. I guess I was hoping for more of a response; I wonder if she was hoping it was from someone specific, and is now mad at us for not being who she was hoping.

We've gotten a grand total of three replies from all of our work. I think we put out about ten of them, which is a fair amount of response, 30%. However, no one e-mailed us a second time (which, I think, deep in my heart, was what I was really hoping for, like a demented kind of penpal, chosen by chance).

All of the cards are out, and no one is interested in talking to us.

It's sad, I think. I guess I was being overly optimistic with this whole thing. However, I will not give up. I plan to buy Valentines in bulk next year, so as to be able to hand them out all year long. This roadblock will not keep me down for long, haha!
