Composed sonnets, haikus, combinations of both for her.
My letters were written in poem format in fancy paper, different inks and in calligraphy, framing ready.
Watched Orlando(we didn't finish, we were necking) and Virgin Suicides(didn't finish, it was ridiculous and boring, ended up necking)
Gifts were always presentations, one large or big ticket item, combined with a bunch of small things that enhanced value and meaning to the whole thing, and then wrapped imaginatively.(Meaning, I used paper folding and insertions to do this. I made a pinwheel looking top for a gift. The wrapping itself can cost quite a bit. I was dumb.)

Learned to get over singing for somebody and do so.
Learned the Ukulele.
Traveled to Arizona to see John Mayer just to meet up with her, hoping to get at least a little time with her.

There are quite a few that is just insane and embarassing to mention.
