So, Valentines came and went. I survived.

It started off after school. hoo_baa_joo called me at lunch to say that we were going out for supper with aolfe and Happygoth. That sounds good. So, I decided to be more human like and attempt this "bushing hair and putting on make-up" deal.

After a little errand running, we met up with my roomies at a nearby restaurant. I ordered my vaggie fettuccine, and the night had started.

My wonderful guy said, "I can't wait. Here is your present now". The gift:

....

A bag of cinnamon hearts. Oh. Well, we didn't talk about price ranges or anything, so I took my hearts. Hey, I like cinnamon hearts. I tried my hardest to look pleasant. Hey, I can't get the bag open. Oh well. I'm thinking that later will be awkward since I got him a Mexican Wrestling Mask.

*rolls eyes* Don't ask.

aolfe starts talking about sharing the hearts, and then I admit that I can't get the bag open. [Bad username: hoo_baa_joo"] opens it up. Then he starts saying that I shouldn't eat them all at once, and that I should make them last. Hey, there may be 365 of them in there, and I could have one a day...

Um, okay.

Then the waitress comes back, and he offers her some. She took some. aolfe's jaw drops. I was in such shock that all I could do was laugh uncontrollably and say "That is a week out of my year gone". Really, what else could I say? Okay, I knew that night was just like every other night, and I shouldn't have expected anything earth shattering, but I was bloody disappointed.

In hindsight, he was being a dickwad.

Supper ended. We went back to the house. He opened the present and posed in his mask. I told him that I like hearts and I loved his gift. He seemed to get over that "awkwardness" waaaaaaay too easily. *sigh*

The final straw: He had changed his socks, and he told me he just threw them n my room, and they landed on top of my fish tank.

"Are you serious?"

More shock. Look, disappoint me all you want, but leave Zelda alone. In total exasperation, I go into the room to move the foul weapons away from my fish....

And I find flowers (purple tigerlillies and pink roses), balloons (with one that is a large heart with arms that say "Hug Me") and a large, soft, fuzzy alligator toy. He knew I have never celebrated Valentines Day before, and he wanted to do the stuff I have missed out on. He was also trying to be a jerk to really surprise me.

Damn dickwad. *smiles* Yes, I've turned all sappy.
