Happy birthday, Kristin!
Happy birthday, Maria!
GF and I get each other a little something for Valentine's (and Easter and Halloween), but it's something small (like around $20) and may not even be holiday-themed. I'm giving her Nosferatu this year.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

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

Happiest of Birthdays to the Lovely Kristin and Maria!!
Or to the Lovelies, Kristin and Maria.
Just to be clear on the degree and/or scope of loveliness.
I'm so gronked. Some lose pronouns, I babble. The gronk, it is many and varied.
I have very little to add to the V-Day discussion, having only been coupled on the day in question...once, I think. Though, my Best Friend and I have officially been Valentines for about 15 years now, and I must say the arrangement has turned out nicely. Another girl doesn't forget, has no problem buying silly things that will make you smile, etc. (And yikes, I've really gotta get her gift in the mail today!) Another friend who is local has decided to put together a dinner Thursday for those of us who are uncoupled - to celebrate the anniversary of the Day that Arizona was Admitted to the Union, officially.

I'm getting TCG a bottle of scotch for Valentine's Day, if I can convince myself that I need to go out in this cold weather. I think he's getting me a robe. We're also using Valentine's Day as an excuse to go see a play, Richard III, and go out to dinner on Saturday.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We had an awesome V-Day dinner a few years ago (on the 13th of Feb). French, five course. There was a delay seating us (we had reservations), so they gave us a bottle of wine. Nice view of Puget Sound, excellent food.
Pretty much impossible to top that, really.
So we don't even try.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Joe is getting an evening to himself for Valentine's Day. It's the best gift for him since he's home with Em most of the week now. Em and I will be off to the library.

I get to meet with parents for Valentine's Day! Yaaaay!
ETA: Not, I should point out, mine. If it were mine, I wouldn't mind.

Shit I must get done:
- Design paper for class (due Thursday)
- Prep for presentation (due Wednesday)
- Get sample content together for work
Am not in the mood to do anything. Whitefont for the depressing they cremated GF's dad last night and it's making me feel really sad all over again. I wish GF and I could go lay on a beach somewhere for a couple of weeks and not have any obligations. Stupid being an adult!

{{{Gloomcookie}}} You and GF definitely deserve a beach vacation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Happy Birthday Kristin!!!
Happy Birthday Maria!!!
there is something seriously wrong with the marketing of roses for VD.
No kidding.
PENICILLIN, PEOPLE.
My aunt is fond of sending people Valentine's Day cards with the (hand-written) message "Hope you like VD!!!"
I'm not Valentine-y, though I never pass up chocolate when it's offered. I did get The Boy a card, though. I've tried to impress upon him that I *really* don't have crazed Valentine expectations. And then tried further to impress upon him that, by saying that, it isn't a test to see if he gets me flowers and a Faberge egg anyway. Because Teppy don't play games like that. If I say Valentine's Day is no big deal, then I mean it.
I'm not opposed to chocolates and flowers, but I don't expect them, nor do I consider them proof of The Boy's love, or consider their absence proof of lack of love.
All that said, today is our 2-year Kissaversary, when I decided to be bold and Willow-like and kiss The Boy first. (Willow kissed Oz first, in case all y'all forgot.)
And now we live together. Keen!
