Dear Whoever Bought Me a Virtual Rose (that I almost typed as Virginal Rose--uh...): Thank you, you're super-sweet. Much love.
I think I get progressively more and more wound-up/emo about Valentine's Day as the years go by. I always have that one part of the day where I feel crappy about it, and the rest of the time I'm like, "This is stupid." My maternal unit went and got all this stuff so that the brother could give it to his girlfriend, and... God, I don't know. It annoys me that she comes over here--not so much her, not as much as it used to be--but more because I just know if I'd had a boyfriend in high school the parents wouldn't be cool with him coming over when they weren't home. And maybe I'm just bitter and cynical, but I don't see the point in my mom even buying the things (even if my brother pays her back) because, well, they're in high school. It's not like it's going to last--even though they've been on/off for God knows how long.
But whatever. I'm gonna go sit in the Bitter Corner now. [g]

Though your parents may not have been cool with you having a boy over at bro's age...it's better than being the baby & a girl. You have it better off, I think, lol.
