Valentines Day

Most people think of Valentines Day either as the greatest day of the year or as "Annual Single Reminders Day". I however think of it as the annual I'm-going-to-pretend-this-is-just-another-normal-day-and-hopefully-it-will-be day. And hallelujah, for the most part it was just another day.
For Valentines Day, our school had this thing set up where you could buy a rose for somebody. My friend bought one for me and some other people. Her and the rest of an after school musical group went to California for a week so she wasn't here on the 14th and won't be back until the end of Reading Week. She asked me to drop anything (particularily flowers) that she received off at her house, so needless to say she was expecting something; if not from a loser in tin foil than at least from a friend.
Nothing came for her however and I felt the majority of the guilt for that. I didn't want to get her a flower because it would be jealous of her beauty, or so I told her. I really just forgot to bring money to school the entire week the flowers were for sale.
I felt kind of bad that she didn't get anything, so I decided that I would drop something off at her house. Exactly what I wasn't sure at first.
I started out with the envelope, then added a heart shaped sucker that I got from seminary. Next I looked up a bunch up pick-up lines and put them on recipe cards. If you're a constant watcher of 'The Office' like we are you'd get that.
I decided that that wasn't enough so I also wrote her a love poem. You're probably thinking I'm absolutely crazy, either that or a very confused young woman, but I know her well enough to know that she'll find it hilarious. I also made it very clear that it was from me so she doesn't think it's from some anonymus guy.
After that (not being the most romantic person in the world) I couldn't think of anything else to give her so I sealed the envelope and today I walked over to her house and left it in the mailbox. On the front I put that it was 'to Alexa from Christi' but I can't help but worry that one of her brothers (or worse her parents) will open it and think we're lesbians or something.

And man did I ever have fun finding the stupidest pick-up lines ever. My favourite was "I have three months to live..." followed closely by "So... you're a girl huh?"

Oh, and I also found the perfect song for my wedding. I swear this is the only planning for my wedding I've ever made and although I would go through with this it's a total joke.

There aren't any good videos, but this'll at least let you know what it sounds like.
