meh, valentines day

So it wasn't a terrible day.

Granted my husband is really just shite at romantic gestures. No flowers or gifts, or a card for that matter. Just a quick "Happy Valentines Day' earlier.

I tried (and failed) not to let it upset me. I'm just such a sappy person and I want to be romanced. I love surprises!! However, I've also had those type of boyfriends before and they're really not worth it. For my birthday one of my exes sent me with my bff on a treasure hunt to find roses spread out all over town with some of my other friends. The last clue led me back to my house to find the seventeenth rose (as I was turning seventeen) and a surprise party. Along with that was a beautiful little music box and the most lovely card with his own poetry. It's probably the most romantic and thought out thing someone has ever done for me......and he turned out to be a lying cheating douche bag.

So no, I don't need extravagant gestures anymore, I've learned they're not at all the most important thing, but that doesn't mean I don't miss that type of stuff. I thoroughly embarrassed myself when we out to dinner tonight and was crying at our table. I let my emotions get the best of me and couldn't help being mad at him even though I know he doesn't really celebrate holidays. The rest of the dinner was awkward as neither of us talked to each other. I just kept looking through stuff on my phone until he texted me "I love you <3". And that right there is why I love the man to death. He's an amazing husband. Always there for me, always supporting me. He gets me in ways I never though someone would and calms down my frantic side. He's insanely patient with me and I have no doubt in my mind he loves me just as passionately as I love him. He's my partner in life and that's such a good feeling.

He is taking me out Friday. I think he always intended it to be our Valentines Day, even though that's really unconventional and he just doesn't get girl stuff sometimes lol. Regardless, I bought this beautiful new dress and I'm really excited to wear it. When we got home we rented "Something Borrowed" and snuggled up on the couch together. It was wonderful and just what I needed.

So to my single friends: V-day doesn't really get better when you're attached lol. To my dating friends: enjoy the kiss-up while it lasts haha. To my married friends: if you have a romantic guy enjoy it, otherwise remember there's other stuff that's far more important.

In other news, I'm almost done with my committed fanfic stuff! Games fic is done and turned in and I posted my reversebb fic today! All I have left is the canon fest. I really wanted to sign up for paperlegends as I have this seriously epic fic that would take SO MANY WORDS to complete; however, I promised myself I would stop after canon fest and do the novel thing. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

Oh! I've been reading "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. OMG!!! SO GOOD!!!! so so so so so good! I had been reading a chapter a night but then I got to where the games actually started and read it all in one night- staying up til 6am lol. It's really that good. If you haven't read them yet, get to it!!

And that's my life atm. Been a little crazy hence my semi mia status. *hugs* to you all.
