My Valentines Day. Yours?

[debtcollector]

Finished El Shaddai for the second time, went food shopping, watched the fourth Ip Man movie, went with a bunch of my other single friends to see Gravity, then went home, watched the roommate beat The Last of Us, and ate some strawberry shortcake. Could've been worse, I guess.

we have an agreement that we're getting each other these:

I'll bite. What exactly is this curious contraption?

long distance relationship but...seeing as Im a barista .

I put coffee beans into the order where they spelled out Happy Valentines, then put coffee beans into a heart form and set a cappucino in the middle with a heart made of chocolate powder + a small flower at the top. Sometimes a picture means more then a thousand words^^

My husband forgot and I don't care about the holiday, so I didn't bother to remind him. I made dinner, we watched part of a program together, and then we passed out. He had to work his last days off, and this coming week he has union work to do on his days off. Which means he wont have a proper day off in two weeks, but at least he's getting paid. It was just like any other day for us. I got some Bioshock Infinite achievements I didn't think I'd be able to get. Yay for me!

Well... I spent half my valentine's day in university, learning cell biology, processes of apoptosis and necrosis more specifically. And the rest on a bus, going back to my parent's house for the weekend.
Comes with being forever-alone, i guess. And i'm not even exaggerating.

Captcha: U jelly?
I don't think anyone's jelly, captcha.

I had to spend mine offshore, unfortunately. My 5 week hitch in Mexico started on the 12th, so mostly I just sent a bunch of romantic emails (access to the only boat phone was, as expected, difficult on our 40 man crew) to my wife and had a nice little gmail-SMS correspondence reminiscing about the good times we had while I was still home. Pretty disappointed that I had to miss it, as this is our first Valentine's Day as a married couple, but she did give me an elaborate late Christmas celebration in mid-January since I missed that too so I'm sure we'll make up for it when I return in chocolates and loving all up and down on one another.

Had dinner with grandmother and parents at wonderful house, a really nice Chinese restaurant in Rock Springs. Watched the new episode of Helix. otherwise a pretty ordinary Friday.

 

[In Search of Username]

Literally no-one I encountered irl mentioned that it was Valentines Day at all, with the result that I only realised it was when I went on Twitter that night. Pretty glad, I guess, the day only ever depresses me anyway.

Ellen Page came out as gay, so it is a good thing.

Wow. Just... wow.

**slow clap**

That was a wonderful speech. I'm glad you posted that - I hadn't seen it.

OT: My Valentines Day:
Sex
Cooking fajitas
Eating fajitas
Watching an episode of the Tudors
Running a D&D (Pathfinder) game for my spouse (a solo game, just the two of us)
Leftovers for dinner
And then some alcohol and a chocolate heart cake
We watched Mulan 2. My spouse spent most of it sputtering at the screen. I spent most of it giggling sadistically. ^^
A few hours fucking around on the internet (both of us individually)
Sex
Sleep

I found out that my ex-girlfriend of a year and a half has a new boyfriend.

Then I went to the gym, started drinking, went to a nightclub with my friends and spent all night turning down girls that were dancing near me because I was having too much fun raving my tits off.

Perspective, kids. Don't let that shit bother you. Get up, dust yourself off and throw your sadness down the chute.

Happy Valentine's!

My best friend on the other hand did have a girlfriend but he say that the day is pretty bad because "Why devote a day to loving them when you can do that all the time?", which makes sense to me.

Which is why me and my girlfriend don't celebrate it.
Worst part is I can't wait to talk to that on guy/gal who thinks i'm weird (or worse...) for not doing anything yesterday.
Thanks society.

OT:
I was suppose to go to my gf's house yesterday to play video games and eat food since she's been sick. Unfortunately she and her entire family got high fever, so I dropped off a bear, a kiss on the forehead, and spent the rest of the many hours of my day playing The Last of Us alone. To me, her getting better is far more important to me than Valentines Day.

Ironic enough my best friend got her Valentines Day plans cancelled as well so I came over, slept over, and we played Persona 4 till our bodies collapsed from insomnia.

So yeah, I had a great day!

I bought my girlfriend a bouquet of flowers, chocolates, and a nice card. She baked me chocolate chip cookies with oreos inside them. We went out to dinner at the cheescake factory and ate waaayyyy too much amazing food. Then we went back to my house and watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 and ended the night in my bed doing... well you know. Valentine's Day is awesome

Real head scratcher isn't it?

It took me over 90 minutes to do a normally 30 minute journey. It was pouring out of the heavens so traffic was a nightmare and the bus was packed like a battery farm. Being soaked to the bone and freezing for that long ain't fun.

Aside from that? Nothing out of the ordinary compared to previous single-awareness-days.

My girlfriend and I went out for dinner and then we made pancakes with ice cream and had sex/played Borderlands until it was 4 AM and the power went out and I lit a candle and she was like you're going to burn down the apartment and I was like begone woman I can light a candle without ushering death every other time and she was like I'd rather we stayed in the dark but then the microwave beeped so we knew the light was back but we went to sleep anyway. Fun times!

 

[Duck Sandwich]

I did a body weight workout, went for a walk, did the same body weight workout again later in the day, then I went to work, where I spent 4 hours handing out coupons for free movie rentals. I talked to hundreds of people. Pretty much all of those conversations went

"Here's a free movie rental"
"Thanks/No thank you."
"Have a good night."

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I recorded for 11 hours and secured some footage for me to put on a Youtube channel I'm building.

Danny and Barry summed it up in 8 seconds:

Basically I watched Game Grumps, Friend Zone, Full Metal Alchemist, and Rush Hour.
And I avoided all contact with humans in the real world.

My best friend, who I love - the woman I'm definitely NOT friendzoned with - I haven't seen or really talked to since before Christmas...because she's engaged to my arch enemy and is too busy planning the wedding. (that would sound silly to me...if it weren't literally true.)

And the other woman I love was so busy working that we went from hanging out constantly to me not having seen her since November....until I saw her Sunday night. ...and now I suspect she may be dating this guy she introduced to me as "a friend". And this after I had essentially clawed my way out of the abyss of the friendzone with her and was making some progress.
Been suffering some serious situational whiplash from that...
That said, I think I've finally reached the point of being so used to being miserable that it no longer actually breaks me down. I just remain functional. I steadily sat there at her house watching The Walking Dead with her and her friend(?). Crackin' jokes and stoically set on not making it weird...even if it completely was. Then I excused myself and went home because I couldn't stand it....only to realise that 5 days later was Valentines Day.
What do I do about going to watch The Walking Dead at her place tomorrow night (as is our tradition)? No god damn clue. Maybe I'll just collapse into a black hole.

Basically, right about now I'm just a hazy storm of frustration and aimlessness.
I have no fucking clue what to do with myself, so I've been avoiding contact with everyone I know, aside from my "sisters".

Valentine's Day is just Salt The Wounds Day.
