Valentine's day is awesome. Unless the person you happen to love and be in love with is 3000 miles across the country.

But! Still, I am confident.
Chocolate and HP-foldy valentine cards are oddly comforting.
Also, ee cummings. And Neruda.

Edit -- Also! Clearly, the trick to beating the holiday is wearing a low-cut shirt (or, in my case, a low-cut/high-waisted empire dress), as setissma and I have figured out. Yayz! In all, a damn good day.
