Valentine's Day

Are you totally sickened by my repulsive display of blatant sappy sweetness? Or did you have a sappily sweet Valentine's Day weekend, too?

Hrm....valentine's day. ;)

I'm a v-day cynic, regardless of the fact that I'm in a good relationship. I guess I've just had enough of Hallmark, Cosmo, and etc. telling me that He Doesn't Really Love Me Unless He Buys Me Flowers/Diamonds/Stuffed Animals/Whatever. Pfeh! I hate being manipulated by mass media, and to me, that's exactly what valentine's day is all about.

That said...we're not "celebrating" per se, but we did have a kickass weekend, with a sort-of velentine's theme...my best friend from high school was visiting from WI, so Peter drove us around San Fran, giving Moni the tour; this was sweet because I bloody HATE driving in the city. :P I guess he did get me a present, a little framed thing with my name in Chinese characters on it, that we bought in Chinatown. *shrug* Saturday night, we went to Bound, a club that our friend Trish runs, where the theme was "My Bloody Valentine." So we got all dressed up in fetishwear/red, drank and danced and flirted all night, and then went home and did naughty things. :)

So, I guess I did have a good V-day, all things considered, though I'd gladly take the fun night at the fetish club over flowers and romance any day of the week.

My boyfriend lives in Delaware and I wanted to surprise him over Valentines weekend, so I did. :-) It was all very wonderful! It was a bit of an ordeal to actually GET to Dover, Delaware from Philadelphia, but thanks to a wonderful friend and Greyhound, I made it and the look on his face was completely worth it. He gave me a dozen roses this morning which is so cliche' but I can't help loving them anyway.

Anyway, go Greyhound! ;)

OK, so I have an addendum to my Valentine's Day post. :)

So yesterday, Peter and I emailed back and forth about what to do for a V-day dinner last night, and we decided to make dinner at his place. I get there at the specified time, he's a little late, no biggie. I hang out and talk with the Eternal Couch-Surfing Houseguest, who's actually in the process of finally moving out (!!). I hear Peter come into the house a few minutes later, and the first thing he says (to the Eternal Houseguest) is: "Yeah, I think it's broken."

Turns out the Eternal Houseguest left a DEC station (big-ass computer) lying in the living room, and when Peter got home from work at like midnight last night, he walked straight into it and broke his toe.

A minor bit of craziness ensued, as we debated whether to spend a highly romantic V-day evening in the emergency room getting it X-rayed, but he decided it could wait til this morning, so we made our nice dinner and he hobbled around and it was OK. But man, that toe looks funky. *shudder*

Anyways, that was the end to my horribly romantic Valentine's Day. :D

Oops, to clarify: it wasn't *last* night he walked into the computer and broke his toe, it was the night before. Like, the night of the 13th. My bad.

Someone neglected to mention what *else* I got her for V-day. But we'll not mention that here, I'll get my ass kicked. The roses were lame, I admit. Oh well, "gee whiz"-points work well.

PS- Being referred to as "boyfriend" sounds so weird. Titles in general for that matter. Except "supreme ruler of the planet Earth" which I'm getting more and more fond of.
