15 February

My Official Stance of Valentine's Day: its a silly holiday where people are supposed to show how much they care about their "significant other." This very assumed gesture of love, therefore, loses its thoughtfulness.

[I understand that many disagree with me. I'm simply stating my opinion.]

That being said, here's how my Wednesday, the 14th of February, went...

1. The excitement of my friend, Kate, was contagious and cheered my normally "blah" mood during class lecture hours. She also brought me a tulip that now resides in a glass of water beside my bed. Bless her!
2. I went for coffee with my friend, David, and our discussion was very animated and quite entertaining!
3. Home for a bubble bath with some Shiraz :) and a package from Mum [contents: heart candy, a pink monkey, some cool paper, a sweet note]
4. My roommates started making cookies- heartshaped- with entertaining phrases like "kiss my ass" and "kiss me never" and "forever" with a big X through it. I love them so much!
5. Brandon picked me up to make dinner at his house. We agreed not to do anything for each other- cause Im not big on the holiday. We just wanted to have a nice dinner together. So, away we cooked and watched TV [on tivo delay]. It was very nice. Its good for me to relax!! haha
6. Janna came over to decorate John's room and that was humorous... construction paper signs, rose petals, chocolate kisses. LOVE the cheesiness of the holiday!
7. Watched Lost [on a two minute delay- THANK YOU, Brandon! Im surprised you did it, to be honest] together... The first time I witnessed him experiencing a new episode... I liked how excited and thoughtful he was the whole time... "it was great" *scottish brogue*
8. Came home. SO HAPPY that we spent the evening together and didnt partake of the cheesiness of the day.
9. Got in bed- and under my pillow- alas, he broke our promise. a very sweet and thoughtful note with a CD of magicalness all wrapped up.

well done, sir. you succeeded in sufficiently surprising me, going against my specific request, and pleasing me all in the same go. Thank you, sir.

The day was also my father's 64th Birthday- Happy Birthday, Turkey! I love you!
