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 don't want flowers, becaue I'm sure my cat would eat them and/or knock the vase over.

I certainly wouldn't turn down a V-Day card extolling my virtues.

You have plenty of vitues even accounting for that weird candle thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hah, Kat! We got you beat--we're going to Costco and grocery shop for V-day.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Yeah, see, I've had great Valentine's Days and great NYEs. But I never saw them as anything but opportunities to do something fun.

I do not generally see many opportunities for fun on those days, because everything is crowded and waaaay overpriced. One can stay in make your own fun, but I don't need an excuse for that, ya know?

I like to celebrate my own stupid holidays on days that various merchants aren't demanding I celebrate. Private anniversaries (not just with Tom, but friends and family), Cinco de Mayo, "Hell, it's Wednesday."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Awww. Coming from an electron fetishist, that makes my heart go pitter-pat.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm going to buy myself flowers tonight, I think. BECAUSE I CAN HAVE NICE THINGS WHEN I WANT THEM, DAMMIT.

I buy myself flowers almost every time I grocery shop. Because, PRETTY!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Bush states are red, Kerry's are blue, Here in Canada, We feel sorry for you!

This? I love.

HEY! Costco is on my list for the day. Who says I'm not an exciting person?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Valentine's Day exists so that we know what shape to buy our chocolates in. Or possibly as a reason to cart out a new mold for peeps.

Would you believe I have no chocolates at work? Hm. COuld do a CVS run.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I buy myself flowers almost every time I grocery shop. Because, PRETTY!

I always forget how much I like having flowers, so I don't buy them nearly enough.
