I went to see Life of Pi with a friend (Bromance with a tiger, 'nuff said), went to eat sushi with her and then I went home to finish my pacifist run in Dishonored.

It was a good day.

Well mine was relatively uneventful. I went to class for most of the day came home and studied had supper.

Played Assassin's Creed 3 for an hour studied for an hour then around 930-11 crashed on the couch watching Robot Chicken, and eventually the new episodes of Big Bang Theory and Two and A half Men.

My cat came down looking for me and jumped onto the couch and curled up beside me.

Normally I would spend it with my gf but sadly she had classes all day too, and a work-shift all evening so we'll be having our Valentine's Day date on Monday.

I celebrated happy Thursday and moved on without giving a crap.
I don't need no day to tell me when to show my love.

I had the most exciting valentines day ever. I finally found some decent trainers to play badminton in, curse you feet for being so big.

I watched Scary Movie with my roommates.
Well my boyfriend is in Tealand so didn't really have any other options...

Played matchmaker for the temple of Mara in Skyrim.

Got really, really fucking drunk, probably made an ass of myself.

In fact I did make an ass of myself and would like to thank the mod team for erasing that thread from our collective hive memory.

Boring and pointless.

The only thing I got fucked by that night was the football result.

I took my ferret to a walk on the main street.

Just to show all of those pitiful people with their loved ones and sex and wifes and boyfriends and people to talk to what they're missing.

Because dammit, I don't need a girlfriend!
I have this!

Boring, uneventful, chock full of work and more than a little bit depressing due to the sheer number of couples around my lonely ass.
So, pretty crappy, all in all.

Valentine's Day is over once again, so tell me Escapists, what did you do this year?

For me, I gave my boyfriend a humorous card I made him, had pancakes for breakfast, went and saw Warm Bodies with him, bought my first beer (Valentine's Day so happens to be my birthday as well) and wasn't able to finish it (seriously, I was only able to down 1/3 of it. It just made my head hurt way too much). Then I made tacos, and not too long after that I had a birthday cheesecake with the boyfriend and hippy roomie. Some time after that, I went to lie down since my head really hurt, and the boyfriend wanted to snuggle, but then the stoner roomie came back.

He started yelling about all the dishes left in the sink (all that was in there was the frying pan because it needed to soak and a plate or two), his many bottles of water being removed from the fridge (which he accused me and the boyfriend of doing, but it was the hippy roomie because she was tired of all that space being taken up by all those bottles of water), and how the poor positioning of the food in the fridge caused him to drop the cheesecake on the floor (it was put in flat against the wall of the fridge towards the back, so in order for him to drop it, he'd had to have taken it out). The boyfriend started yelling back at him, but then gave up on it and decided to go back in his room. He locked the door behind him so that we could spend some alone time together, but the stoner roomie decided that he wasn't done yelling at him, so he kicked open the door, splintering the door-frame and hitting me with it.

Needless to say, we weren't happy with him, and I reminded him that if he were to ever try to harm my boyfriend, it'd be the last thing he'd do (he has a habit of trying to break big things when he's mad, and I know full well soon enough he's going to move onto hitting people).

So, what about you guys?
Wow, my condolences on the roommate. I think it may be time to move. My fiance and I have had our share of roommate issues, and if you can afford it, go for a place for just the two of you. Our last roommates were incessant slobs who would go weeks without washing their dishes (to the point my fiance and I couldn't stand it any longer and we would clean it), was frequently late with her share of bills, and had a boyfriend that would infuriate even Gandhi with how annoying he was (seriously, annoying people was his hobby and I am not even slightly exaggerating). We only lasted 6 months before I picked up a second job so we could afford another place (while still paying for the original place, we did sign a lease and make a deal so we upheld our end, we just didn't live there). Luckily her boyfriend decided to move in with her so they resigned the lease without us (meaning that management didn't have to evaluate the room to access damages).

That was the third set of horrible roommates in a row for me, so I decided I was done with roommates. My current rule is people in need of a room can use my spare room for up to 2 months provided they follow my rules (rent free so they can get on their feet, I have a bunch of student friends in a town with few jobs). It has worked well so far, and my fiance and I are largely stress free because of it.

As for my Valentine's day;
First off let me say that we have a tradition where I give my valentine's day present a day early, and she reciprocates the next day. It started the year we started dating, I had ordered flowers to be delivered on V-Day to her at work. They ended up coming a day early, and she took me to a movie the next day. The following day I decided to give her chocolates a day early as a gag to remember the year before, and it just ended up becoming a unspoken tradition.

The day before V-Day I bought 2 Dozen Red and Pink roses. I had a Vermont Teddy Bear waiting with a vase in its arms (the teddy bear sits upwards and the vase makes the third point of contact with the ground to provide stability) that I arranged them in. I took it up to one of our favorite restaurants in the area (Essence of India, its a fancy Indian restaurant that isn't horribly expensive) and asked the owner if he would go along with my plan. He said he would, so I proceeded to wait for Jazz to get off of work. When she did I picked her up (I drive her on the days I'm off so she doesn't have to walk from the garage to the hospital as it is about a mile away) and proceeded to ask her if she was hungry. She said she was so I asked if she wanted to just grab something on the way home (we don't normally eat out). She agreed and I moved on to step two.

Essence of India is in a little plaza that has a few restaurants in it, but she knew exactly what was going on as soon as we pulled in. What she wasn't expecting was what came next. When we stepped in the Mater De welcomed us and asked us into the kitchen where a table had been set for us. Then after she ordered a drink the waiter brought the teddy with the roses out onto the table. She opened the card and read what I had wrote and she started crying. Then the chef accidentally messed up the order and made her Biryani extremely hot and my Curry very mild, and she continued to cry, but for a different reason (because she can't handle hot foods at all, it causes her physical pain, not because the order was messed up). We switched dishes (thankfully we both liked what the other ordered) and finished enjoying our meal.

I drove her home where I had done all of the house work (cleaning the bathroom, laundry, and vacuuming) and led her to the room that I had adorned with candles (though they were unlit, as I didn't want to leave them burning while we were out). I lit the candles, undressed her, and then proceeded to give her the deepest, most sensational massage of her life. I had planed on other sensual deep activities, but she fell asleep from the massage and I didn't want to wake her (she had gotten up at 5am to get to work early).

The following day she had to work again, but insisted on driving herself. I stayed home in my PJs and robe playing video games most of the day (a win in my book) until she got home. She had decided to take me out to a movie and gave me some choices of what to watch. After watching some trailers (I don't watch TV so I don't normally know what movies are out or much about said movies) I decided on a movie that looked to have a fair mix of romance and action. We went to theater and saw Beautiful Creatures. I was sorely disappointed at the lack of action, but it was still a decent movie.

When we got home my girlfriend said she wanted to go lay down a bit (movies/tv tend to give her a migraine, so we don't do many), but that I should go ahead and play some games. About 10 minutes later I hear her calling from the room, so I go to see what she needed when I was greeted by a beautiful woman dressed up as...

I'm going to leave the rest of the night to your imaginations, but lets just suffice to say that it was both longer and more enjoyable than the movie was.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, I would be happy with that too.

OT: I had an awesome day. Now for some back story I got sick about 2 weeks ago, then I hurt my back one week ago, but that day I was finally able to put that (kinda my back was still giving me agonizing pain) behind me so I spent my day from 9-6 in school then I went to the gym and then spent some time in the sauna before I got home and had a yummy dinner. Yeah, I had a great day.

I cooked an American omelette, not because I wanted too, but because my cousin had eaten everything else in the fridge.

Then I pwned n00bs on Modern Warfare for the night.

Oiled up and sliced it alone.

By which I mean I ate some delicious garlic bread with olive oil on the side for dipping.
