I am a V-Day hater, but I can't begrudge any genuine gesture of affection between people in love. Any excuse for that is good in my book. The more the merrier!
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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

MM, you rock!
TCG and I celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday because we have to spend today with my family at a 50th anniversary for my aunt and uncle. We went to a movie and a nice restaurant(which will hopefully not be shut down by our curse) then came home and exchanged gifts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
MM FTW!

The status is NOT quo.
MM just made me get teary AGAIN, the bastard!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
MM, you rock like an expensive Amish-made rocking chair with Keith Richards in it.
My lower-key V-Day is involving The Boy making pumpkin waffles in the kitchen for me right now. Noms.
I never considered this a religious holiday, so it doesn't bother me that it allegedly is one. I'm all about the waffles.
Happy Year of the Tiger to everyone too.
Tiger YAY!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just lovely, MM.
We ate not giving any gifts this year, as all our money is going to the front yard. Plus poor DH is sick, so our big plan for the day is going to Lowe's to buy a lounge chair for the backyard for my mom's visit next week.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

He likes making us cry!
I got a V-Day card from my XBF. It's a Happy Year of the Tiger card, really, but he wrote Happy V Day inside, and it's so pretty I have it displayed on my bookshelf. He also drew a little caricature of himself, his boyfriend, and their yappy little dog. It's adorable.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
It looks like my body disagrees with my head. Head wanted to go into work early, and prep things for tomorrow's load in. I guess my body looked at the situation and said, "um, you are loading out big show tonight until midnight", and proceeded to have me ignore the alarms, and slept in. So, I have given in. I ate brunch here instead of on the go. And lounging about before heading into work soon.
ION- I am all caught up on Dexter.
Happy v-day to those with partners.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Sorry for the tears.
No, not really.
