I just got to the mall. The gift shop has pink and red cards out and they're bringing out the chocolate.

Wait, here come the teddy bears with love hearts.






There go the fluffy heart pillows.


... And finally the chocolate roses.

It begins.

We only just finished January!

It's ONLY two weeks away! It definitely takes those full two weeks to plan out something really nice.

And it's fun!

[turbedon]

At least there'll be lots of chocolate?

[hearmyfeels]

Always a plus, I have to admit

[turbedon]

You just have to stomach all the pink and red vomited up everywhere first!

What, aren't you excited to see all the couples be all lovey dovey with each other and exchanging gifts?

[turbedon]

It's more that I'm being blinded by the overdose of every shade of red and pink.

... And any second now I'm expecting a text from a friend freaking out and asking me what to do to woo his own love interest.

And here I thought Valentine's Day was overblown in Japan. This is utterly ridiculous.

Re: Text

[turbedon]

Give it another day or two and then you'll be drowning in all the heart decorations popping up.

[presto_turn]

It's still strange, getting used to how different Valentine's is here in the U.S.

[Not that he particularly misses the awkward, delayed social mess that was White Day for him, back in Japan.]

It's less of a big thing here at the school, at least, if that's worth anything? Or it was my last year here, anyway.

[turbedon]

Guess we'll just have to wait and see, but if it gets too red I think I'll wear shades or something to cancel it out.

Can't there be a year where we just skip that crap altogether?

[ Sounds like a plan to him, honestly. ]

[turbedon]

Wishful thinking much?

[deceases]

I'm just saying. It would be easier for everyone involved. Easier for the whole planet if we didn't have to deal with this crap each year.

If you were trying to sell pieces of heart shaped chalk you'd make every second count too.

[turbedon]

See, that's the thing though.

Why would you even make that? I mean, dress-makers chalks are in that triangle shape but hearts?

[anythingwithstrings]

The chalky candies? They taste awful.

No idea why anyone made them.

So soon? I need to get new cake recipes now!

[turbedon]

Talk to Megan. She loves with baking.

[soccerwhisperer]

I'll be sure to ask for her. In the meantime, I am going to ask my relative. She used to make the best cakes around.

I wonder if I can get away with not making anything pink...

Yet another holiday I have yet not experienced due to some severely vague connections to Christian symbolism.
But surely people don't take it as seriously as movies would have you believe?
...right?

[turbedon]

We'll have to see, but if someone orders 100 roses to leave at some student or teacher's doorstep, then we'll know it's that bad.

[theveilisin]

I think someone did mention that this school has something akin to a bomb shelter, so in a worst case scenario, perhaps some few sane souls can be saved.

It's the same for all the other holidays, you know.

[turbedon]

I know, and I complain about them when they come around. Can't leave V-day out!

[loveswaffles]

Did you purposely go to the mall just to see if it had already happened?
