Valentines…(with an awkward story)
February the 14th. Valentines day. Or, St. Valentine’s day as my calendar says it. In todays society, we consider it the day of “love”. And who knows, that just might be it. In my opinion, this is just the cutest day in the world. And for all you perverts out there, I’m NOT talking about the three-letter “s” word.
I just love seeing little kids giving out little valentines to their friends and classmates, along with adorable Hershey kisses. I used to do it all the time when I was in grade school, and it was so much fun! Of course, that little activity disappeared when I went to high school. But still, I just love the roses, heart-shaped balloons and chocolates, and whatnot. Even though I don’t ever get any of them.
Perhaps I’m a sucker for “innocent love”.
But to put my opinion in perspective, there’s also this sort of sadness I feel that comes along with this day. Because I know that it’s quite possible that people with broken relationships(divorce, becoming widowed, etc.) likely cry on this day. It’s like this thought stuck in the back of my head, and never really seems to let me forget entirely.
Well, I promised in my title that I’d tell you guys an awkward story I had related to Valentines day. And after all that rambling, you’re probably holding the knife to my throat to make me say it. Odd though…I don’t feel the blade…
Well, I believe that it was last year that it happened. It was basically my first-ever time asking anyone out. I’m an artsy kind of guy, so I decided I would draw a cute little picture of Bambi in a small square card as a valentine. Well, the time came. It was lunch time(at school), and I decided to take the card to her. We were watching a movie at the time…which really made things awkward to begin with. Well, I managed to pry her eyes from the screen and give her the card.
Unfortunately, all I received was a cold glare, and I never really saw her after that that year. Probably avoiding me or something. lol. But I got over it like…the first week. I can’t believe I did that. I felt soooooo stupid. It’s absolutely hilarious now that I think back on it.
Maybe next time I ask someone on a date, I should try to be a little more “smooth”. Ya think?

My adorable little Canadian!! I actually thought the Bambi thing was sweet. I’d be a giggling school girl if that had ever happened to me. Cause I guess I too am I sucker for innocent love. =)

Hey ….
Wow, u kno i never really thought about the fact that other people with broken relationships are crying on Valentines day…..i know that sounds really selfish of me, but it is true. Definitely something to remember when we get caught up in the mushiness and romance of Valentines day….
