Nicely written, Ginger! I try to celebrate the holiday while ingoring all the retail outlets telling me HOW to celebrate the holiday, if you know what I mean. Except the little hearts with sayings on them--I love those. Not because they're delicious, which they totally aren't, but because they are Candy!With Writing!That is Goofy!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'll be getting together with Kristin and the NYistas for V-day. There may be candy, but probably no hearts or flowers...
Loved the essay, Ginger.
Oh gods, I'm so tired. Can someone walk up the street for me and get egg noodles? Thanks.

aw, Jess. Moving fatigue. It's the worst. If I could get egg noodles for you, I would.
RE: Valentines Day. Tom and I celebrated the first year we were together, at dinner at our favorite (now closed) restaurant. I felt it was to make up for the previous Valentine's Day we spent together, not dating yet, both relatively recently single, bitter, and whiskey drinking drunk. So with that karma all balanced out, we ignored last year's Valentine Day, and this one as well, quite cheerfully.

I particularly liked the candy hearts before they updated them, when they said things like "23 Skiddoo" and "You Kid."

I'm amused by the candy hearts that say "E-mail me."
(I want ones that say "STD," and "Bite me.")

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(I want ones that say "STD,"
For "Skip the Drama."

Heh. Not quite.

STDs actually usually bring on a great deal of drama.

Okay, after my frozen pizza cooks, I'm going to eat it with X-Play, and then I'm going into full-scale thesis-writing mode, which I was supposed to be in ALL DAY TODAY BUT I SUCK.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Ick. As much as we're all about Valentine's Day at work, I forgot to remember the fact that I actually have to go through it.
I told the girls at the store that they needed to schedule me to close, since I'm the only single girl and it would be silly for anyone with a husband or BF to work. After that, my friend wants to continue our V-Day tradition of inappropriate hijinks, but she's got a boyfriend now. I don't need pity hijinks.
