Well, another Valentine's Day has passed, and no big deal to me really. I'm not really sure that it even counts as a holiday. I mean, the post office doesn't even have off for it, a clear sign of celebration. Not to mention, I have no idea what we are celebrating. I mean, who was St. Valentine and why do we send "notes of love" or whatever to each other on this day? I have no idea.
Anyway, I sent out a few select Valentines, 4 in total. 3 to some girls in a "mob" of sorts (all though, how fearful can you be of a group from Minny though, right?). The best one was the one I sent to my mom. I don't care if you think it's corny or whatever, but I told my mom how much I love her and how thankfully I am for all she does for me and for putting up with all my junk on such a consistent basis.
The day itself sent me searching for something that I wasn't all that successful in finding. I was trying to find a Valentine for the day. I'm not even sure what that means or what I was doing. But every guy I saw on my floor that morning, I asked if they would be my Valentine (well, they also had to have a girlfriend too, so I was like stealing them away or whatever). That was fun until I got ditched later in the day for the girlfriends.
I went to work in the dining commons shortly thereafter chapel. I asked Jen Landis (whom I've known for a while now) to be my Valentine. She said she would, knowing of course how goofy I was being.
Well 2 minutes later she re-voked her "Valentine-ship." She said she didn't want to upset Dan (her boyfriend). I was cool, but I hammed it up to be all hurt and stuff. Then she dropped this little tidbit on me:
"But you can't be anyone Valentine's because your no one's Valentine."
That hurt. It was mean and horrible. As soon as she said it, I dropped the container of hot cheese I had just emptied out. She apologized, but I'm still going to hold it over her head for awhile. She didn't mean it the way it came out, but, it was still kind of bummering.
This ofcourse sent me into a more panicked frenzied to find my Valentine for the day. I asked Brittany and she obliged with "ofcourse I'll be your Valentine Slimmy." Yes, she calls me "Slimmy."
I said something to Steph Davis. It was kind of neat because I hadn't seen Steph in several days because she was at the conference thing last week, leaving me completely devastated and alone........Or something like that. Infact, I told her "Steph, its so good to see you! I've been desuetude and alone while you've been gone!" She did the Steph Davis laugh (which is just great). Then I told her what Jen had said and Steph offered to be my Valentine.......I think. I don't really remember to be honest.
The best part of my day had to be when Hayley came up to me. I was working the deli counter, like a good worker is supposed to, when Miss McGrail came up to ask me a favor. She strongly desired that there would be some sherbert out with the ice cream. I told her I would say something to Rick and see what I could do.
Then something happened and I'm not sure what exactly. But some how, my "offer" got brought up (see the previous post about her recital). I think she thought I was implying that she would need to complete that offer if she got sherbert. I don't really know what happened exactly, but we laughed and it was a good time.
Well I talked to Rick, and there will be sherbert put out with the ice cream here in the near future. I told Hayley that today as she was getting some food in the dining hall as I worked. She responded by having an extremely excited look on her face, she raced around the lunch counter thingamabob, and proceeded to come on the side of the employee's to give me a "Maranatha Hug," which is semi-difficult to explain, but fully checkable in the rules. Then there was the relentless "Thank you so much" thing too.
I had no idea that she was that into sherbert. All I know is that I need to find some wholesale place that will sell like a 32 gallon drum of sherbert. That way, we know the offer would be completed.
hhhhmmmmm............Maybe I had a Valentine all along..........

Awwww.....Slim! I would have gladly been your Valentine! You made it possible for me to have sherbert! That's the best Valentine's present of all! Who could ask for anything more?! Let's just say that we did have Valentine's on Valentine's Day. It's like a post Valentine's day. :) Yeah, I HAVE A VALENTINE!!! Thanks for the sherbert, Messenger!
So, do we have to wait for St. Patty's day for the next post? I mean, it would have some logical symmetry--your last post was on a holiday celebrated with chocolate and pink and the next post would be on a holiday celebrated with beer and green. St. Valentine was murdered, and St. Patrick drove all of the snakes out of Ireland...wait, maybe there isn't any symmetry there. But still.
