Singles Awareness Day: Why meet people when you can mope?

I didn't mope. Much. Valentine's Day was all right.
And there was MUCH chocolate.
My dad got these Black Forest Truffle squares, I decorated a pink-frosted chocolate cake, we bought Ovaltine powder from Fred Meyer...(mmmmm....XP)...good times.
I'm listening to "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", and it got to the part where Joe Anderson is administered Naked Girl drugs by Salma Hayek...and I have nothing deep to say about that. I was just thinking about it, and how high he manages to sing. Good song.
I'm a Beatles convert. My dad got two giant Beatles anthologies from us for his birthday and they have EVERYTHING: "She Loves You", "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da", "The Ballad of John and Yoko", "Get Back", "Hey Jude"...and it's all great.
So, yeah, "Magical Mystery Tour" still sucks, but their hundreds of other songs are pretty fantastic.
And it's fun to listen to stuff like "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and go, "MAX! LUCY! ACROSS THE UNIVERSE!! NOOOOOOO WAY! SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW!"
Gabrielle Zevin is so wonderful. She's so clever and funny and I love how she writes.
Michele Jaffe is a riot. I got first pick from the new stuff in the Teen Section at the library and SCORE! "Kitty Kitty" AND the next book in the Echo Falls series!!!! YESSSS!
Just...everything.
"The Jane Austen Book Club" wasn't that great a book. Maybe I just don't appreciate it enough, but I loved the movie and felt way more for it than I could ever feel for the book, which was sort of confusing and boring and had nothing to do with anything.
Awesome.

Woo, a nonsexy aphrodisiac!

You Are Asparagus

You're not exactly subtle. You seduce people by being highly suggestive. And surprisingly, it works. Your outrageous ways are very appealing. You always try to look as sexy as possible. Even if it means being a bit inappropriate. You somehow always manage turn the vibe sexual. You have more fun when everyone is being naughty!

What Aphrodisiac Are You?

Your Valentine's Day Personality is Practical

As far as you're concerned, Valentine's Day is simply a commercial holiday. You don't place any real meaning on it. You don't think it deserves too much celebration. For you, Valentine's Day is just the day you avoid restaurants and candy stores. If you love someone, you already show it. You don't need to go all out for a silly holiday to prove your love.

What's Your Valentine's Day Personality?

Flu-like syptoms may occur.

February decided to screw with us and dump a load of snow on the ground, yet, somehow, our school was the ONLY one not to have a 2 hours late.
But that doesn't really matter seeing as I didn't go to school today.
Woohoo, the flu has struck!!
And it sucks.
But I didn't throw up this time, which was a plus.
Not even chicken and milkshakes.
And it gave me time to catch up on "All My Children".
It's pretty sad, because I haven't watched it in months, but I caught on pretty fast.
Except Babe is dead? And I've been watching this soap since seventh grade, and David and Krystal were together once before, and now they're together again.
Bianca has finally resurfaced.
Aidan and Greenlee are over, and Greenlee is marrying Ryan - again.
Annie is going crazy because she apparently killed her brother and is obsessed with Ryan, but Ryan is totally over her because he's a jerk.
Seriously, I never liked Ryan. He was always sort of a player.
Susan Lucci needs to hurry up and die already.
Valentine's Day is coming up, and I'm sort of pumped. Sure, I won't be getting flowers from "my special someone", but there's chocolate and heart-shaped pizzas from Papa Murphy's!
Ugh, a bunch of my friends are making a big deal about how it's not Valentine's Day, it's "Singles Awareness Day", and Valentine's Day is just a stupid holiday that's not real and love isn't real and all that.
Well...yeah. Valentine's Day kind of sucks a little bit if you're single.
But it's not that big a deal. It's just high school.
And, for reals, the word "relationship" is kind of making me sick.
Several couples I know broke up and it ended badly for all of them. But now they're all complaining about how this love obviously wasn't real and the relationship was so hard and why can't guys be real, bla bla bla.
Ugh. It's HIGH SCHOOL. Of COURSE this didn't work out.
Yet because they've gone through this "tough time" and have more "experience", they're the mature ones.
And it's annoying.

Obscure ramblings of a hormonal teenager

You Are a Messenger

You are a great communicator and quite persuasive too. And to be honest, your also a bit of a gossip. You like to know what's going on with people. You can deliver almost any message to anyone, and they'll take it better coming from you. In modern times, you would make a good journalist or diplomat.

What's Your Medieval Profession?

Aaaaaahahaha.
I have really amazing friends. That became more apparent this weekend.
I don't know. It's cool having people who will sing along to "Anastasia" with me and call just to help me on a jigsaw puzzle. No, seriously, that actually happened.
So being alone is cool. But I probably wouldn't make it very far if I couldn't see my friends every day.
Or at least 5 times a week.
This is me!!!!!

You Are a Carousel

You are young at heart and a truly playful person. No one would ever accuse you of taking life too seriously. You are definitely in things for the fun. You find joy easily, and you are often building up anticipation for your next adventure. In relationships, you tend to want to be babied and taken care of. And while you may be a bit high maintenance, you are incredibly loyal. Your life is simple and satisfying. Each day you treat yourself to something you enjoy. You have a lot of emotional attachments, and experiences are extra vivid to you. You tend to be nostalgic and sentimental. The past is important to you. Comfortable around all living things, you have a special connection to animals and children. At your best, you are whimsical, free spirited, and creative. Even if your schemes seem a bit strange, they usually work out wonderfully. At your worst, you are spoiled, demanding, and impossible to satisfy. You've been known to act like a brat if you aren't getting your way!

What Carnival Ride Are You?

Kristine and I watched "Sense and Sensibility" last night. Kristine thought it was amazing. And it IS! All women want Colonel Brandon. He's attentive. He's mature. He's romantic. HE WALKED 5 AND A HALF MILES IN THE POURING RAIN TO FIND MARIANNE, AND THEN CARRIED ALL THE WAY HOME!
"Anastasia" is my favorite Disney princess. Besides Belle. Except Meg Ryan is sort of irritating and flaky. But still. It's a musical, Dimitri's hot, there's a funny white bat, Pooka is adorable...what more could you want?
I mean, besides plot and historical accuracy.
Aaaaagh, boys. A bunch of my friends had boy drama...INVOLVING THE SAME BOY. >:(
And if we're "just friends", why are you marking your territory around me? If you don't want to have a girlfriend, that's find with me. Just stop sending mixed signals. Because if I got with someone else, it would be COMPLETELY justified.
I don't know. Weird stuff is happening. And Valentine's Day is coming up, and people are making a HUGE deal about it. I don't actively hate it...I'm just not thrilled about it. The candy is great...but watching them pass out roses you will never get isn't. I don't know, no matter how thick your shell is, it hurts every time.
Wow, that sounded way jaded and self-absorbed.
From the diary of some unloved girl who fights to hide how she feels.
"I'm pretty jaded, and I've got a tuph shell, but I don't know, man. They just don't know what's inside."
Have at it, Mr. Darcy. Seriously, go for it. You're a lot cooler than one would think.
