I walked into the supermarket and just couldn't bring myself to buy the special Valentine's Day packaged chocolates, or candy -- Not even the Sweethearts which were the least offensive. So... I don't know really what to do about this. No Green and Black's, or non-heterosexist, non-bourgeois candy in the store! I am at a loss. I briefly considered making my own candy to send. No kidding. Will probably blog about this dilemma soon, as it is consuming my waking hours with the distress that comes along with it.

Yey! You'd be totally invited if you weren't thousands of miles away -- Well, my mixed feelings about this day stem from the fact that in 6th grade, Andrew asked me to “go out” with him via a Valentine :) Sadly, all Valentines Days since then have been bitter disappointments compared to that one –
