happy stupid valentines day....
Funniest sign:
"Need some Valentines Vengence?
Pie a guy in the face, make the world a better place."
I about died. I was some fundraiser bulletin posted in the White Bldg.
My day's been a crap-tastic day, I tell you what.
I woke up 2 hours late for work, scrambled, and was still late for my first class..
No romantic valentines plans b/c my two foreign professors don't give a rat's hairy armpit about valentines day, so I had a paper due this afternoon, two major assignments due tonight by midnight and a take home exam available this evening to be turned in by tomorrow in the early evening. So basically, I've been working feverishly since Monday trying to get it all done early, and I've just recently finished like 3/4 of it all, and I still have the exam to go. So yeah.
Nate has gift certificates for The Speakeasy, like $100, and we were gonna go there Monday to beat the holiday (and homework) rush. I did my hair, wore a cute new girly shirt, put on my heeled boots (b/c it's still frigid as heck out), and yeah I made an effort. We get there and OMG! what restaurant ISN'T open on MONDAYS?! I mean, I know it's supposed to be gourmet and all, but it has a bar too! Don't they know people hate getting a case-of-the-mondays and need a bar??? Why not be open?! Like for serious.. And Nate's mom told us (after we'd discovered it for our selves) that some gourmet restaurants aren't open on Monday b/c they're open all weekend and they need a day off or something... like it's common. I defied her to name one other restaurant that does that--and she couldn't. But supposedly it's common place... o ok.
Even though I had a lot of homework... I'd still like some romantic surprise... *sigh* No such luck. I'm not even at Nate's house working on this crap. So we don't even see each other tonight. And he said he doesn't believe in Hallmark holidays, so no card, no candy, no flowers.... I feel cheated. Every other girlfriend in the country is getting SOME kind of crappy present. It's the thought. It's the "Hey, I don't want you to get disappointed/mad if I don't get you something, and maybe I value you a little bit, so here's a gift!" I mean, flowers at least.... then it's not just a hallmark holiday--you're cutting out Hallmark altogether... *SIGH* *BIGSIGH* My only Valentine was from my mom.... and SHE gave me $20! (yay, now I can eat this week, lol)
I don't even want to think about how it's been 4 1/2 years, with at least 1 1/2 years before we both graduate with our frickin bachelors, and about 2 years total before I can expect to get any frickin sparkly jewelry-type present for valentines day..... *REALLY BIG ANNOYED SIGH*
BLARG! *&^%$#@!
...freakin valentines day...
