[scoffing.] Yeah.

[a beat.] What the hell is Valentine's Day?

[commandertoolbelt]

You agreed and you don't even know what Valentine's Day is?

[ hello? ]

Anyway, it's a holiday about love. You're supposed to spend time with the person you're dating, like a girlfriend or boyfriend. But if you're like those of us that don't have a significant other - it's Single's Awareness Day!

...But maybe don't call it that when there's a professor claiming that single people are an epidemic in our society.

[overlimit]

... Right.

Well, it looked like they had something annoying planned, anyway. This pretty much confirms what I suspected.

[just vague irritation at everything! as well as some ever-present anxiety, because boy, recent events have been A Lot.]

[commandertoolbelt]

Don't they always? But maybe we can put a fun spin on it, somehow, make it a little less annoying. Maybe some more fireworks?

[overlimit]

Fireworks are good and all, but if we've got that, I don't know why we'd bother with any of the other crap.

[ oh, that makes him laugh. he knew he liked rita for a reason. ]

Unfortunately for us, too many people like all the other crap. I don’t think it’s that bad, either, once in a while - but they’re pushing it a little too hard, even for me.

At least we could turn it into a friend date situation, if we really wanted. Can’t get a prom date? Friend dates are just as good.

[overlimit]

Friend dates... Does that even count as a date?

[commandertoolbelt]

It is if we say so. We take our friends out, have a good time together - it’s the same thing, just without the romance.
