Valentines Day was awesome and very very memorable ....my boyfriend made it that way. I totally wasn't expecting this romantic to come out in him. I really wasn't expecting anything really. I've never been one for going all out and all the gushy mushy stuff...I don't like attention on me. Birthdays, Xmas etc. I hate the attention and all the gift giving, it just feels awkward because you never know if they truly like what you got them or if you are going to in the case that they give you something. I mean it's fun to watch others experience these things but for the most part...I kinda purposefully ignore them. I thought Id get away with it this year because I consider my boyfriend to be low key and low maintenance. So, I decided to make plans with co-workers who are single and not have a v day but a single awareness day instead lol. When I mentioned to my boyfriend about my plans he got quiet and I was like what's wrong? he said he was upset cuz I didn't wanna be with him on vday. I was like that's ridiculous, I really didn't think you cared...not in a sense where you don't give a shit bout me but just because its a holiday. I would have been totally fine, had we not got some dvd's, he ordered amazing indian and set candles all over the living room to have red wine with our dinner....was amazing. It felt really good to take the time to do all these things and although I was broke I made it a point to buy him a teddy bear with roses and a box of chocolates in a heart shaped box....foo foo....some things are meant to change but I like the traditional valentines bs....red roses, chocolates, bubble baths, etc. you name it....i dig it.
