Valentine's Day - classic or dud

I have never NOT been in a "relationship" (take as you will) on Valentine's Day for the past 8 years. And every time, it's basically lame! The best one was the year we went out with another couple and got incredibly drunk on sangria and gorged on tapas in NYC. It's always stupid, I don't want to get a load of chocolates what with being pre-diabetic and all, flowers are pretty and fun to put into interesting vases but they die and seem wasteful (also--it's really only fun to get flowers unexpectedly, like from the homeless man wandering around selling them at 3am. Getting them for a holiday or birthday is completely "Oh well I reckon you forgot about the little lady, eh"), and really, unless you are specifically going to my AP wishlist and buying my goddamned size in what I actually want, plz to not give me lingerie. PLUS IT IS ALWAYS COLD ON VALENTINE'S DAY. I would really rather just go out to a nice dinner and basically do fuck all, play a video game or listen to some music or something. It's a dumb holiday, though I do find valentine's day cards very hilarious.

xpost lol @ VD

It was too early in that relationship to have that conversation, really.

In other relationships, I've made it perfectly clear that I freaking HATE VD, and I would MURDER them if they made a big deal of it. P ignored that, and made a huge fuss over it, ugh ugh ugh. J forgot it was even happening because he was doing some art exhibition, IIRC, and that was fine with me.

I love the idea of Valentine's Day, but I'm not super fussed about celebrating it with hearts and flowers - if it happens, great, if not, no biggie. He knows I love him, I know he loves me. We're good.

what luna said.

though we had dinner last night (standard tex-mex, nothing fancy) tonight I'll be knitting and watching crap tv (lost, idol, bam's unholy union reruns) while he preps the kitchen walls for my painting (ugh). So romantic!
