weeee!!!!!!!
happy dead saint day, everyone!!!!
(for those of you who didn't know, this most auspicious hallmark holiday is named after the martyred st. valentine of... some european country before the invention of plumbing. he was hanged for something or other on february 14th, for which he was martyred and sainted (go catholics!), and we now recognize his great sacrifice by giving each other flowers and chocolates and asking each other on dates. so i get a big kick out of the phrase "will you be my valentine?" b/c it basically means "will you go to the gallows for love of me?" yay, history. *snickers*)
jim made me pancakes. mm.... foodie boyfriend: must have. we were going to go out somewhere special and secret, but he had to fulfill RA duties, so i watched 'heroes' and did homework instead. but i got flowers too, especially this amazing lily (fav. flower!), but some roses and stuff too. so, all in all, a satisfying day, considering that i don't put much stock by these sorts of holidays. (see above sidenote. *eyeroll*)
thus, i am well pleased. sleep now.
