This one time, in high school, →[More:]

There was this Valentine's Day fundraiser thing where you could send your crush an Orange Crush for $1 and they could find out who sent it by paying an additional dollar. Orange Crush is my favorite soda pop and since I was part of the school media news program I made commercials begging people to send me orange crush on Valentine's Day. I ended up getting something like 27 of them, because all my friends sent me them. Getting MeCha Valentine's is just like that. I think I'm gonna post the anonymous valentines in my profile. I think you should do the same. Then the stalking can really take off!

For Valentine's in my AP English class, we could choose one of Shakespeare's sonnets, make it up all prettylike, and our teacher would deliver it to the fellow student of our choice. I had a crush on a girl named Jacki, and took the sonnet sending to the next level - I had Ms. Fincher deliver her one or two a week until March 4, which was Jacki's birthday. Inside her birthday card, I included the final sonnet and she finally figured out who had been sending them. We dated for the rest of the year and probably would have lasted if I hadn't left for college.

Good memory, though.

Yes, this is a plea for attention.

I just got one in that Cthulhu-esque fake translator thing whose name I can't remember. Help anyone?

Somehow, someway, this thread got "One Night in Bangkok" stuck in my head.

This is not good.

Raise your hand if you check your profile every five seconds for new Valentines.

TPS and sciurus are clearly the popular kids. Maybe we can elect them King and Queen and have a dance or something!

Does that mean I get to dance with all the girls?

YES THAT IS IT THANK YOU!

I apparently have "lips like dew", but I think that's just because it rhymed.
