February 14 -- the Day of Cheesecake

[felis_ultharus]

It's Valentine's Day today. I'll spare you the full force of my bitterness -- I haven't had a non-disastrous date in about 5 years. However, I think I am adopting my roommate's name for it -- Dies Irae, the Day of Wrath

Ah, but remember: tomorrow, all the chocolate goes on sale.

Amen! Which is why I decided after last year that February 14th would henceforth be known as Giant Chocolate Sale Eve.

The only Valentine anything I've ever gotten is from my father, who began a long tradition of giving us kids chocolates in order to distract us while he made the proper presentation of flowers and jewelry to Mom. He still sends out candy to us girls even though nowadays he's more concerned with trying to shuffle all the dogs out of the room. ^^;;;

I haven't since I dated Michael about a decade ago :/

And your suggestion for a name for the day seems popular.

[felis_ultharus]

True. But then the singles have to compete against the repentent half-couples who forgot it was Valentine's Day, and have to buy twice as much chocolate as weregeld.

Don't worry, I won't be freezing. I'm celebrating Valentine's Day by beating someone up (and being tested on it) and then going out for beer with the guys. ^_^ ...so maybe it is a Day of Wrath?

Maybe this should be my icon for V-Day?
