that hearts condition that's going around

[the_siobhan]

Today was day 2 of a stretch of 13 shifts in a row.

Half of them are midnights.

Please. Shoot me.

----------------------

So a couple of minutes ago, I just said to the_axel "So when is Valentine's Day, anyway?" Figuring he was going to say, "Tomorrow."

Ah.

----------------------

My mother gave me a VD present once. Squicked the hell out of me.

I think it must have been her husbands idea, because she had never done that before. I think my confusion must have been pretty obvious too, since she never did it again.

----------------------

So did you know I was once engaged?

Got proposed to while on Ecstacy.

D'oh.

Took me a good couple of weeks to pry my way out of that one.

(And I've never done E again either.)

My mom gives me candy every V Day. fine with me. I like candy. ;)

I've done E a buncha times, but never got proposed to. Things like that only seem to happen to you.

Don't let that scare you off. ;)

(Truth be told, I'd be curious to see what you're like on E, cause it's such a hippie/raver drug. Me, I get all touchy-feely and shit.)

VD is very strongly lodged in my head as a celebration of a relationship that is sexual in nature. So although it would be ok to give a VD gift to a friend - because flirting with friends is perfectly fine -- family members are completely inappropriate.

There seems to be a recent trend towards making VD yet another day of Everybody Buy Stuff For Each Other, but it will always feel icky to me.

All I can report is that my one and only experience involved naked dancing.

I think V Day is icky, stupid and thoroughly offensive for a whole host of reasons. It's only redeeming quality is that people seem inclined to give me chocolates.

(Speaking of which, if V Day is supposed to be a celebration of a sexual relationship, what does it mean when my co-workers give me VDay candy? Erk! Think I'll just shut up and eat my chocolate)

Yeah, but don't you do that anyway? ;) (This was at a pagan festival, right?)

That's why I don't do E. Me being all touchy-feely and shit would break some basic fabric of the space-time continuum and cause Bad Shit to happen.

Heh. I'm normally not touchy-feely, and the first couple of times on E threw me for a loop.

What I found is that, unlike some people, E doesn't make me touchy-feely with just anyone, but only with people I already know and am comfortable with, which was something I wanted to have happen anyway,

I never have been or will be comfortable with random physical contact with people I don't know well, but I was getting really sick of not being able to let myself be affectionate with people I actually like.

my mom used to be the only person who ever gave me VD candy. now she just gives me a card, but it is a really nice card...

i dunno what to say about the engagement thing.. i have been engaged twice, knowingly, and, thank ye gods, i have gotten out of it relatively unscathed both times.

D'oh!

That is reeally, reeeeally funny. Especially seeing as how E is one of the few tasties I haven't at least tried, and now I know for sure that I don't ever want to.
