<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

So here's the situation. There's a girl I'm friends with. She lives in AZ, I live in NY. We met a year and a half ago through an extracurricular activity and became close. I flew down there to hang out with her. We're not really talking for the time being, but I planned on getting her a totally bitching birthday present. I tried to get opinions from mutual friends on what she'd think, but they never responded, so I asked her directly, since the gift I was considering was $100 (I'm a poor college student). She made it clear that I shouldn't buy her anything (said it would "cross a line") I still want to make her a card. the problem is that by now, its too late to get there by Monday. I was thinking of photoshopping a totally awesome card for her and emailing it. I was thinking maybe a comic or something--she really likes star wars. Does anyone know where I can get a crash course on how to mash images together and stuff? she's really into star wars/24/the office/ a few other tv shows/movies, and I was thinking of mashing them together into something LOLtastic...
<bot>: friend doesn't want me to buy present, to late to mail card, want to make with photoshop, perhaps a comic. suggestions on programs/templates/ ways to mash up different pictures?
