Listening to: POD(Anything Right)
Feeling: disappointed
6:53 Tuesday Evening   Miserable Rain and a Soccer Ball Yesterday. Oh boy. One of my least favourite holidays. Seeing girls with roses sort of ate at my patience all day even though i specifically told him not to get me a rose -- grossly overpriced and i dislike cut flowers anyway. Plus it was rainy and cold all day. I don't mind that much just that I had to walk home in it. My backpack actually cut off circulation to my arm, it was so heavy. My forearm and three of my fingers went numb. Caleb came over. We didn't go to the dance. He had soccer. And probably didn't want to go dancing in the rain, even though the rain did get nicer and it was actual drops not the annoying misty icky stuff. It's too bad, that was the one thing I really, really, really (x100) wanted to do. I managed not to cry, however. although I'm still really (x300) sad i didnt' get to go. Today was better. I went to his house before school and did his hair. We walked to school together, and we held hands. I felt kind of weird, holding his hand when we both looked so similar, same colour of bottom (navy blue shorts/skirt), similar design of shoes, similar button up white shirts. Two school children walking to school together, fingers entwined, feet instep. How effing cute. School was good, it was sunny and warm-ish all day, and after school I walked back with him and ended up not leaving until almost 5 p.m. We had a snack and cuddled, and I read a Richard Scarry book to him. Richard Scarry books have the most random things in them! I never noticed until now! I love richard scarry!! came home, opened my bag and removed the stuff for the classes i am not taking tomorrow. I read over a bit of my english stuff and got online. Soon it's tea time. Yum. i'd liked to have gone dancing, though.

i never understood the giving of flowers as a term of endearment thing. i mean, basically it's saying 'here is my affection for you in flower-form. by the way, it's going to die within the week and wither into rotting, smelly dried petals and eventually crumble into dust, but's let's forget that and focus on the now, baby, so come to bed.' and i mean .... wait, that's a marvelous scam. i need to go get some flowers. have a good day.
i hate cut flowers too! i figure that killing a beautiful living thing for me isnt dreadfully romantic.

I guess you're right, that feb 14 shouldnt be any different than any other day, but why not celebrate the birth of christ every day? why not celebrate America's independence every day [i know you're a n. zealander, but it was the only other thing i could think of spur of the moment and i'm sure you get the picture]?
also, i think it lets guys off the hook. its easier to be uber-romantic TWO days of the year (v-day and anniversary), than less romantic every day, although that would be nice.

but i dont really know why i'm arguing for or against it since i dont have a valentine anyway. :)

well, look at the words and sing them to you are my sunshine and you'll see. i'll go download the real song.
"nick" got to what i was going to say before i said it, about the flowers. but he said it much more articulately than i did.
yes yes i know you're an american, but i wasn't sure how long you'd been living in new zealand and how big on independence day you were, in case you'd been living there for half your life or something.
oh cute school children.
Matt Cook raised his eyebrows at me. I love little moments like that.
