V-day

So, Valentines day is coming up. Its kindof funny - all the personality profiles I've ever taken say I don't like Valentines Day and I think its retarded and all that. But really - I kindof like it. I like pink. I like chocolate. I like flowers. So yep, I like Valentines day atleast on some level. But I don't really think of Valentines day being all that romantic or anything. Maybe thats b/c the only Valentines day I actually had a boyfriend for I was 16 and he gave me a dead rose that he had left in his car for days. Oh well. My most memorable Valentines Day was like 8 years ago. A good guy friend came over and had worked all morning on a present for me and my roommate. He was all excited about it so that made it even more fun. He brought us a fishbowl filled with blue jello - now not just any fishbowl filled with blue jello - this one had rocks in the bottom, a fake plant, and gummy fish suspended in the jello so it kindof looked like a real fishbowl scene. It was awesome. We ate it until we got down to the rocks and then had to stop because - well, rocks and jello just don't mix. It was just too fun of a gift and I still think about it every Valentines Day. The next year my roommate was engaged so she had something romantic to do - but my good friend came over that year with cupcakes with mini snickers hidden inside them that he had made and a big mylar balloon that said something dorky on it. That was really cool too since I love cupcakes, esp with pink frosting. The next year he moved away so that was the end of fun Valentines Day treats from him. So yep, I don't hate Valentines Day. Oh, and I always try to find candy on sale the day after which holds me and my coworker over til Easter. :0)
