Bobo's Very Difficult Valentine's Day Extra Gift Puzzle

dear senna,

below I've pasted a series of shapes symbolizing different things. these mysterious objects are pieces of a puzzle that together tell a story better known as what events lead up to the gift you'll be getting on Valentine's Day. these shape-based hints all mean something, so there are no empty clues thrown in to dupe you; however, be warned...in spite of what the American creed says about man, these clues are not all created equal. some mean more than others. This is your only other non-visual hint. if you solve this maze in full before tue (i.e. midnight tonight), there's a 2nd gift i'll add to the 1st, so think hard.

What the hell is all this, all these shapes and arrows? Omg, where's Shanni? Why can't I have until tomorrow morning?

you have till midnight

What does "in full" mean?

it means in full

Are there hints about the gifts themselves in the puzzle? What am I getting??

i suggest you focus on the puzzle. it's almost noon already.

Shanni's in class

Is the Brazilian soccer player a reference to a Champions League match? There are matches Tue and Wed this week.

you ladies are wasting a lotta time. if you don't solve this, the 2nd gift will become your birthday present in 5 mos.

me too. that's one of the best match-ups of this rnd.

1) There's no clear entry or exit point to the flow, so we're gonna have to identify key stuff and go from there, which sucks, but whatever
2) He says the clues aren't created equal, but that's obvious, since some have more arrows pointing at them, so he probably means something other than just importance. Some of the objects might have 2 meanings or 3 or something, which is different than just having more value in general.
3) He says that's your "other" non-visual clue. What was the first one? He called it a series of shapes. That might be the other non-visual clue 'cuz they really aren't random shapes, they're distinct objects.

Oh great. So what's it mean?

The only raw "shape," which was the first hint, is the border around the thing, so it must be important. Time also appears in 3 places, in a stopwatch, a calendar pad and a clock, so time's important. The stopwatch in the right corner is inside the box, which makes me think Time Square, since it's time inside a "square." You're probably going to NY for this. The calendar is "01," which could mean the month of January or the 1st day of the month. Either way, it's either really behind or really ahead, so that could be a reference to being really late or really early. But the clock is outside the box, like it's cut off, so it's like he's saying time doesn't matter, and this points to the calendar, so I'd say the calendar is a reference to being early as sh*t, for whatever reason.

Good. Hm. What else?

I emailed this to Palma, too, to see if she comes up with the same stuff I do. The walking shoe is pointing to being early, so you're on foot, which then points to weights, which is probably a play on words for waiting, which then points to a wine bottle and glass. I doubt that literally means wine, so it might mean dinner, since you're early for whatever it is you're gonna be doing, maybe. Oh, maybe wine is a reference to being drunk, which is like "high," which might mean the restaurant is very high, like one of those revolving kinda. This makes me definitely think you're going to NY, too, since they have these places a lot. Not sure but it's something to kill time before whatever you're doing, like cocktails, or dinner.

What's up with that dumb woman whispering? That seems important. It's in the middle of the chart. It must be critical, right?
