Birthday Shirt

Yesterday (formerly known as Today) I received a nice little soft package with a note:

"Happy Birthday Alyx! I love you more than this T-shirt*, lol. Love, Rodney"

Delight!

The shirt is called "Follow It" and it's distributed by Threadless. I love this t-shirt site! They're an interactive design-to-screen-print company. Users submit designs, vote on favorites, even provide Threadless with the catalogue pictures of the consumer wearing the product! It's pretty genius I think. I've joined the site, but no real activity to speak of. I'm waiting until a novel idea hits me so I can try my hand at designing my own tee for submission.

I e-mailed Rodney this tee a few days ago, thinking it was an extremely clever and (for me) romantic design. I like following "IT" (when "it" is my heart, not a scary Stephen King invention...*shiver*). Rodney is my boyfriend and bestfriend and he lives in Manhattan while I wither away in Ohio, so the subway reference is double cute.

Aww... ain't he special? :)

*"I love you more than..." has been an ongoing inside joke between Rodney & I to see who can zanily out do the other in the love department. It all started when I StumbledUpon! a site called I Love You More Than (Blank) which is the brainchild of Paperwhite Studio who "wants to depart from the cliche Valentines sentiment and found out the real things we use as a measuring stick for love." Some of the entries are hilarious, others insightful and a little sad at times. Really cool, totally worth checking out and even adding to. (I did, can you find it?)
