HAPPY
i decided yesterday that i actually do like valentine's day. the reason why it started is stupid, of course, but i like the idea of celebrating love. so i bought flowers, and i made cupcakes, and i bought some delicious apple cider (newton's folly at trader joe's is the best apple cider i've had so far) and i bought delicious super torta burritos (i had a nice semi-conversation with the burrito guy, though i felt bad for him, because when i asked him if he was having a good valentine's day, he told me that he'd been there the entire day, and since i got there around 5:30, i figured he'd be there until closing at 9:30). so mark and i had a good valentine's day. mark even said he thought about buying me flowers, but he didn't know how to carry them home on his bike.
besides, depending how you look at it, valentine's day could be our 3 year anniversary. it makes me feel old to say that, but i suppose i am starting to be old.
when i was walking home from school today i was thinking about how maybe i should have gone to a school with a more pleasant climate for me (eg, ARIZONA), but then i wouldn't have met mark (or any of my other friends here, of course). then i thought, whoa, i could have met another guy there and been just as happy. not necessarily, but it could have happened. i realize it's relatively rare to do well with so little shopping around, but maybe i would have been just as lucky with my first college date at a different college.
ok. i really have to change the tv channel. i accidentally ended up on the 700 club. i thought it was a crime show, but then the cop who got shot in a traffic stop found jesus christ as his lord and savior. then he forgave the guy who shot him. now they're buddies and he visits the guy in prison.
