2004: Matt
We didn't really DO anything, but he did give me a Valentine of a scary bear/dog thing that sang and had weird Walmart type chocolates. But it was the thought that counted, and it was my first V day ever having liked and sorta half been with somebody. ;)
2005: Scott
I don't remember! I literally have no clue what we did. I know we were together. I remember the day - I remember a girl in my class got a big stuffed animal with an embroidered leather jacket that said "I love you" with her name underneath from her boyfriend. I remember I'd never liked that girl and that made it way worse, 'cause she didn't even look impressed. But what I did after school with Scott?! No idea. And so I txted him and asked him, and he doesn't remember, either!! >_<
2006: Stephen
Once again, we did nothing, but I do remember a note he gave me that day that said something like, "If we can't celebrate love on the day of St. Valentine's violent death, then when can we celebrate it?" I'm pretty sure I still have that note, too. ;) Not so romantic, but very Stephen, and it made me smile. :)
2007: Kenny (#3 Ranked)
I was soooo excited for this V day, because my mom agreed to let me break curfew that night AND go out on a school night!! I had been hard at work on Kenny's robot blanket and gave it to him at the end of the night in a big Valentine's bag, and he really liked it. :) But for our after school date we did EVERYTHING I loved. We went to my absolute favorite sushi place - but the fancy location in LoDo Denver, went to Cherry Creek to peruse Tiffany and Co., then went to Krispy Kreme to try and get a heart shaped doughnut (they didn't have any, but we did buy a box of red and pink sprinkled ones and ate half of them on the car ride back). When we got back to the school parking lot, where my car was, we looked at the stars and made out a little, before finally parting ways. It was super thoughtful and so sweet. ^_^ I LOVED that V day!!! <3
2008: Steve (#5 Ranked)
Grandma and I drove all the way to Minneapolis to spend V day with my boyfriend at the time, Steve. Grandma got a hotel room and relaxed for the weekend, while I stayed with him. When I arrived at his apartment, he'd prepared a pink themed V day meal with strawberry soup, cupcakes, the most delicious steak ever, and other things. I had a great weekend going to the Mall of America and being adored. :) Pretty cool V day!!
2009: Julia (#2 Ranked)
Bough J a bouquet of lilies and a big balloon, and in turn she made me homemade cupcakes that spelled out (in frosting) "I LOVE YOU CHELSEA," and also made me a poster-sized card that said the same thing, but with photographs of her hands spelling it out in American Sign Language. Overall, it was pretty darned adorable. ^_^ <3
2010: Brazilian (#1 Ranked)
I went to my first Roller Derby bout with my friend, and came home to B, who had been trying to get ahold of me all day long. I hadn't thought he had any idea what Valentine's Day was, much less wanted to spend it with me, so when he told me to hurry up and shower and get dressed, I was pleasantly surprised. When I went down to his room, he was all adorable and fancy. I asked him where we were going and he said he had no idea. "B, you can't just invite a girl out and have no place to take her!" He laughed and said it was my city and that I would have to take him to one of my favorite places. We ended up going to my absolute favorite Pie shop - Hubbard Ave. Diner - and having some cookie dough pie, before heading to Sonic Burger for some gross but delicious drive-in food and then over to Walmart to wander aimlessly, try silly hats on and have a spectacular time. Most adorable and spontaneous V day ever. <3
2011: Brazilian
Went to Walmart and txted B while I was there, missing how fun our Vday had been the year before. Around this time I also txted J, who told me to "never f*ing contact her again," and officially broke up with B, after realizing neither of us had plans to be in the same country again for the next few years at least. Sorta bittersweet, but it was nice to be able to talk to B for the day. :)
2012: Julia
I arrived at work at the same time as Cindy and we both handed each other a bag of Valentine's goodies!! It was so adorable!! :) She got us matching accessories and I got us necklaces and Starbucks, I think. In the morning, before leaving for work, I'd left a rose and a honey bear in J's car for her to find later when she awoke, but she didn't do anything for me. At night, I waited and waited for her to come home, but around 2am she informed me she was at a strip club with her friends, since I'd said I didn't want to go out, and she'd be home later. In all, not the best V day. At all.
2013: ^_^ (#4 Ranked)
I got cookies for breakfast and was riding the train when the man who had been sitting next to me got up for his exit, but first turned to me and, in Spanish, told me to please have a very happy Valentine's Day. It was absolutely ADORABLE. :) A few days before I'd gone to Cupcake Madrid (the best cupcake shop I've found here) and bought all my roommates a cupcake. I also colored each one a Valentine and wrote them each a poem on the back of it. I left a cupcake along with their Valentine outside of each of their doors to discover when they woke up!! I felt SO adorable, and it made them all SO happy!!! ^_^ YAY!!! At school, I had the third graders and the sixth graders make a Valentine and decorate it and they all really enjoyed it. Throughout the day I got Facebook messages from Ivan, Doug and Bob, wishing me a very happy Valentine's day, which made me feel really loved and squishy. :) Much later when I got home, I had a Valentine from Abby sitting on my desk!!! It was a cute drawing along with a note - written in four different langauges, all in IPA!!! - as well as a bottle of my favorite horchata, a pack of double stuffed Oreos and a bottle of my favorite Spanish wine, all wrapped up in shiney pink and red ribbons and festive little decorations!!! OHMYGOD SO ADORABLE!!! It was the first Valentine I'd received in four years and I did a little crazy jig around my room after I received it!!! ^_^ It was an unexpectedly really awesome day!!! ^_^
