A Truly Lazy V-Day, and a Yearning for Spring
Truly a lazy day indeed. Most people get all excited for Valentine's Day, and every year I spent single in my life, I'd wished I was spending it with someone, and cursing my loneliness. This year though, it just passed like any other day. Jess and I both slept in absurdly late...well no, Jess slept in absurdly late and I woke up around 10:30 to feed the cat and crawl around the webs for a few hours until it was time to wake her up.
But even after waking her up, we didn't really do anything outside of our normal routine, of just chillaxin' to the maxin'. The only really solid (semi-romantic) plans were to see Taken this evening, in oh about an hour and a half from the time I write this. Maybe it's because we're both piss-poor that we didn't spend frivolous amoounts of money on stuffed animals, chocolates, and flowers that we kind of just skipped over the holiday. But perhaps it's because those things aren't what make the day special. Perhaps it's just being with your significant other and spending time together that's special. Or on the contrary, drowning your sorrows and rejection in a nice tall pint of ale that makes the day special. Regardless, my "I Love You" Teddy Bear from last year still seems to do the trick, so I'll save myself the $5 from re-purchasing it.
On the otherside of this post, it was beautiful out a few days ago. It reached just shy of 70 degrees all the way up here in the Philadelphia area. If it hadn't been for the slight winds, I would have busted out the shorts. But alas, it was but a brief tease of the warm stuff, and just the very next day the winds began whipping upwards to 60mph, and it's only gotten worse from there. I truly do dislike the cold weather, and what it does to my state of being and my sinuses. I think I'm about ready to say goodbye to this wonderful city once I save up the money (God knows that won't be any time soon). I'm tired of the cabin fever, and the struggling to entertain myself with the same things over and over again, and going to the same places. I want to be able to roam freely in the woods and parks again, and experience the wonderful feeling of sand beneath my toes at the beach.
I'm so done with you winter!
Slimee, signing out.
