Dave's not here, man. (Ok, so most of what I know about the 70s? Second-hand.)
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

If I only had a brain...
It used to be you gave Valentine's to people you liked. They were like Christmas cards.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(Though I will happily eat Valentine's Day chocolate. I'm no fool.)
They're really cheap if you buy them after the 14th.
Also, I love the Valentine's Day cookies with the pink frosting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, you think stuff will be on sale tonight already? I am all about half-price post-holiday candy. Christmas, Halloween, V-Day, I'm not picky.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
funny coincidence, Tom just took the car for windshield replacemend and was very much relieved to find out that it cost us noting with our comprehenisve insurance. Whee!
In other news, if you had leaks from the apartment above so sever that you had plastic buckets catching the water from the ceiling, would you:
a) tell the tenants above
b) tell the landlord in an urgent fashion
c) both a) and b)
or d) nothing at all whatsoever, until the leak got larger so that the first floor neighbor got the leak?
We are the people "above" in this scenario, and our downstairs neighbor chose d) out of the choices above. Argh.

And just like Christmas cards, now everyone expects one. I don't send out either anymore...it's a protest, yeah, that's the ticket.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Well, Fathers' Day came about to balance out Mothers' Day, right? I'm just waiting for Singleton/Yay!Me Day. (Where the appropriate gift to give comes from Blowfish.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I suspect it's the one Plei was referring to
That's the one.
I found it again after I'd posted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never gotten a romantic Valentine's anything, but I am in possession of some sweet platonic ones. I think the day used to irritate me, but now I barely notice it.

Crap. I just realized that I forgot to send out my Lincoln's Birthday cards.
Oh well. I'll just have to be sure to not forget to send the Shark Week cards....
