Happy Valentine's Day

[lesbiaphrodite]

Mes Amies,

It's V-Day, and I wholeheartedly wish you all a Happy Heart Day. I send out my love to those special people (and you know who you are) and I send out my hopes that everyone will have a day filled with sensitivity and gentleness.

Love,
LA

let us celebrate this day that way it is truly meant to be celebrated, by drinking ourselves to apathy and numbness

DRINKS ALL AROUND!

Cheers, mate! Happy Valentine's!! Now, let's get drunk.

now you're speaking to me very heart

Cheers, mate! Happy Valentine's!! Now, let's get drunk.

Started well. But grand romantic gesture wrecked by sloppy execution, to point where it actually made things a lot worse than if I'd not tried.

Now hiding in study, hoping things will blow over.

Probably spending the night in the spare bed.

Getting drunk seems a good option.

 

[tickledkitty]

Awww, beastie. *hugs*

 

[EesomeBeastie]

Awww, beastie. *hugs*

Thanks. Very much needed and very much appreciated.

Reckon I owe an explanation.

Grand gesture was to hand her a bunch of red roses and a handmade silver pendant (I do a little bit of silverwork as a hobby).

OK, so I need to get her away from the telly and get her full attention.

Brainwave: I'll stand in the hall and shout "Shit! Shit! Come here quick!" as if there's an emergency, then she'll rush out, see me standing there with roses and jewellery box and be bowled over.

WRONG. She rushes out in a blind panic, almost on the edge of having a heart attack, and the sudden let down from adrenaline surge to freezing stock still is such a shock to the system she goes into a bad episode of shakes and then bursts into tears. Still jittery hours later. Refuses consolation.

Well, all I could say was It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time. I meant well and It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time, but I just didn't think through the possible consequences.

She's told me before that these words will be carved on my gravestone.

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time

Whatever kills me, will probably be something that I tried because It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time.

You'd think she'd be used to me latching on to the first solution to a problem that pops into my rather eccentric brain, but apparently not.

Poor Beastie!

Oh my. Yeah. I have to go with her reaction though. Not the way to do it. I get the same way when I realize that it's not something wrong and I end up shaking too.

Give her some time to calm down and then give them to her. She's going to like them and in a day or so, you'll both be able to at least giggle about it.

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time
I had to giggle. I've said that oh, a time. Maybe two. Or three.

 

[EesomeBeastie]

... and in a day or so, you'll both be able to at least giggle about it.

Oh, I do hope so. But she's got the memory of an elephant and the ability to nurse a grudge like a Sicilian mafioso.

My support to you, Beastie. It'll pass, honey.

For my part, I'm trying to smile through the pain of being apart from the one I love on this special night.

Another glass of wine and it should be just fine....

Thanks. I do seem to make a habit of bolloxing things up. As an engineer, I seem to have to social skills of an, er, engineer.

Sincere commiserations. Still you can celebrate twice as hard when your love comes back.

Another glass of wine and it should be just fine....

And I'll grab myself a whisky.

Yeah. I have to get a baby sitter so I can go watch mine drool in her sleep. She's not really going to be there with me, but I'm going to be there with her, holding her hand, just in case she wakes up for a minute or two.

Back atcha sweetie.

Whilst being an Ocean apart, I was hoping to spend most of the day with the one i love, even if it was via a webcam or over the telephone. But, as luck would have it, my parents invited my aunt, uncle and cousin around, and so i either had to do the tidying and cleaning, or the cooking, and either way i wouldnt spend much time if any with her...i did the cooking in the end.

Managed to spend nearly 2 hours with her by the end of it, but i'm not well either, and so had to retire to bed long before my heart wanted me to leave

So all in all, a rather shit V day, but im glad for the little time we did get to spend together, i cherish every moment because i have to, and i cant take it for granted.

I envy all those who are close to their partners, i mean distance wise.

 

[EesomeBeastie]

...but i'm not well either...

Sorry to hear that, Fallenfromgrace. Get well soon.

As I said, get well. Then you can have a great celebration with your lass when she returns. Any day can be Valentine's Day if you want it to.

OK, that sounded corny, but the sentiment was genuine.

I am SO looking forward to your posts after your cruise. We're all going to need to ice down our computers to keep them from over heating!


P.S. "Whilst"? Did you REALLY use "Whilst" in a sentence??? Muahahahaha!!!
