Valentines Day

[botias]

I know that a number of people out there are much too historically and culturally aware to have anything but disdain for this ebol Christian mockery of a Pur pagan soire, dragged from its unhallowed grave, and made to perform unwholesome works by even-eboler Godless Capitalists.

In an attempt to one-up them on the coolness scale, I pronounce Valentines Day as barely worthy of my attention, much less my disdain. Besides, I got some loot (thank you Capitalist Forefathers!) and I love bright red and hot pink, especially if it is glittery.

I got steak. :) And then I got sick. :( Flu, not anything having to do with the steak. Blah. But I got steak! :D

Yeah! Instead of protein I received the other traditional offering: trinkets.

The more we change the more we stay stone age or something like that. :P

Did you also get foliage? Despite my well-known and much-voiced lack of enthusiasm for foliage as gifts (unless it's in a pot and still alive), The Hubbins said that he regretted not being able to get me some trimmed foliage as well, I'm not sure if they were all gone when he went to look or he didn't think to look until he'd passed the last available shop or what, and I told him that the thought meant much more to me than the actual foliage. And it's true, because I'm either sappy or weird that way, take your pick. ;)

Instead, for Happy Tax Return Day, we're getting new bedding, he's getting a huge pile of Doctor Who DVDs, and I'm getting a World of Warcraft t-shirt - again, with the massive geekness. ;)

I'm that way too, actually. Quite often when A offers to go above and beyond I'll pull up my socks and tell him that it's enough that he would. I try to save my 'heroic gestures' points for when they are really needed.

Tax Return Day should have been fun to the tune of 3Gs, but my property taxes are 3Gs. Give until Caesar and all that *sigh*
