I spent IAP in my parent's new house in Mississippi (only about 5 minutes away from our old one). I love it--- I felt very at home there.


Valentine's day is Tuesday! Hehe. I love Valentine's day. I've always loved Valentine's day. As a kid, I made my own Valentines, decorated a shoebox very ornately, and looked forward to having it stuffed with colorful paper and candy from classmates. Even if they didn't really mean it when they wrote, "You're swell!"


It's my first Valentine's day with a boyfriend, but I won't get to spend it as such-- he's away. I still love gushy lines and hearts and frills as a grade school kid--- I love them, but I don't take them seriously. If one wanted to show me actual affection, one would have to try harder. For instance, I would gag to get roses or chocolates from a boyfriend. They're so typical!
