Just another day...

Finally, a VD worth celebrating! I fully understand people's admonitions that Valentine's Day is a commercialized and forced day full of overpriced flowers and tacky decorations. However, I will stick with the thought that it is just another day and as such just another excuse to tell those around you how you feel for them. When I am lucky enough to be in a relationship on Valentine's Day, I use it as an excuse to spoil them and show my love. When I am not that lucky, I instead spend it with friends and family and slather my love upon them instead. And that is what I did on yesterday's snow filled evening. When my little sister's plans for a home cooked dinner with her boy fell through, I saved the day by suggesting we all go out to dinner. So after swinging by to pick up my date (my best friend Dawn), my two sisters, their respective others, and I headed out to Pad Thai in Montrose. There I bought my first drink for myself (Dragonfly martini), we discussed piercings, tattoos, cute boys, cute girls, and rejoiced in the delicious, albeit exotic, food.

After dinner and scrumptious dessert, I headed out to a local bar with Dawn and Asher. Probably not the most responsible decision on a school night but to hell with responsibility now and then! I learned that long island ice teas have a hell of a lot of alcohol in them. After drinking two and starting in on a long beach I was feeling pretty good, though not so good as to make it to school today. Asher did not fair quite as well as I did but managed not to puke in Dawn's car at least... It was fun despite the over inebriation. The three of us had some pretty meaningful conversations, though some of them left me feeling awkward and conflicted... And Dawn met a cute boy that puked in a trash can. Lol! I look forward to such random late nights with good friends in the future, though perhaps with one less long drink of any sorts.

Huggles!
