(First) Valentine's Day

This is the third February that Kyle and I have been together, but this is the first Valentine's Day we have actually spent in each other's company. The first year, we were living on opposite coasts and had to make do with Valentine's packages carefully timed to arrive on the right day, and the second year, I was in India with my parents. As such, old habits die hard:

sidekickPriya: hello hello!
sidekickPriya: Happy Valentine's Day!

*long silence...no response*

sidekickPriya: FINE!!!! NO HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!
sidekickPriya: IT WAS JUST A HOLIDAY CREATED FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DISTRACT US FROM OUR MEANINGLESS, CONSUMPTION-DRIVEN LIVES ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sidekickPriya: ST.VALENTINE IS A CHARLATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sidekickPriya: *quiet sob*
sidekickPriya: I love you.

Insomuch as "old habits" can be interpreted to be "losing your mind over chalky, heart-shaped candies"
