Today is two years with Bob. Our first date was on V-Day (a bad idea at the time, but makes things awfully efficient now) and his birthday is tomorrow. So I only have to buy one annibirthentines day gift, but I think Bob is getting an iPod.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's just like having a kid near Christmas and combining presents. AKA mean. Buy him three things! I insist upon it.

That is quite efficient!
Which reminds me, I have to go wish someone happy birthday...

I don't know what our HS did. I never had a girlfriend in HS (lots of asking out, lots of rejection), so the issue never came up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I asked out maybe three or four girls in HS, none of whom went out with me. But a girl asked me out, and we ended going out together for a year and a half. She originally asked me out to make her boyfriend jealous.
Ahh, high school romance....

Well, then, he'll get three thirds of an iPod.
Actually, I'm sure we'll have dinner and I'll also get him a book or something. I think you can get away with one extravagant gift rather than three littler ones.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
but is it a diamond iPod?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think an iPod could heal any mega-gifting wounds. Of course, I love mine so much I'm half-convinced it could heal flesh wounds too.

If I only had a brain...
My engagement was an aquamarine, which is the same stone as an emerald.
It chipped under the setting. One the one hand, the setting was probably too tight, but on the other aquamarines are chippable.

Say you were looking at engagement rings for the hell of it (not for serious) and didn't want to contribute to the de Beers monopoly-- something precious and hard?
I love my sapphire engagement ring. And, we eloped but still got an engagement ring! But we were weird and got engaged and then ran off and got married. Kind of did everything half-assed.
We also just ran out of Kashi intnat oatmeal, but we made steel cut oatmeal in the slow cooker last night so I had a big ole bowl of that this morning.
