Happy Hallmark and Chocolate Day, and Blessed Lupercalia to boot!

I am not anti-Valentine's day. Frankly, I've seen a lot of "why I don't like Valentine's Day" posts today, and have yet to agree with anyone's reasoning. I think if you only celebrate romance one day a year, your relationship(s) are probably in way worse shape than one overly-commercialized holiday could ever cause. Generally, I think if it's just lip service, you're doing it wrong. I like chocolate, I like flowers, I like pink and red, and I like making other people feel loved. Said love is not just limited to whomever's been warming my bed; I'd be just as stoked about Valentine's day even if I weren't shagging someone in the month of February. I have given into the marshmallowy floof without breaking the bank. Ergo, whatever state my relationship(s) are in, I am firmly pro-Valentine's day.

Tonight is dinner at Agnes's, which celebrates the love of friendship, then I pack for Valentine's Day shenanigans with Tex this weekend. Woot.

In the meanwhile, while I am gone... if any of the following people are spotted...





... please send them to my bedroom. Er, my bedroom is kind of a mess. Send 'em to a nice hotel, and let 'em know I'll be there shortly, so they should feel free to get into any comfortable state of undress they so desire. Please and thank you, so mote it be, amen.

ETA: Conversation with Shane, the regular UPS guy.

Shane: Happy Valentine's Day!
Me: Happy Candy Day! *hands him a little pack of conversation hearts*
Shane: Did you lick them?
Me: No.
Shane: Could you?
