A Real Valentines Day (by sarah)
It is another valentines day and again me and Alaric have failed to do the traditional type of thing.
This time we built shelves for the kitchen (well got half way through building them with the help of my Dad).
We had take away pizza deal with wedges and stuff for 6 of us and I started reading the girls the complete works of Will S. on Jean's request.
We went through some songs that ment things to us and went to bed - mostly Nick Cave and Tori Amos.
We are happy with this - I don't think either of us was cut out for the standard hyped mush that happens with V-Day. As Alaric said it has become something repulsive with all the commercial stuff. The idea of having to buy expensive gifts to show your love :/
This doesn't mean we don't celebrate but it's more making cardboard hearts with the girls and covering stuff with glitter. Last year I knitted a phone cover for Al - that sort of thing.
This year I wrote him a poem.
