Melanie has a lunchdate with a guy she's been crushing on for a while. My friend Beck is getting married in a few weeks. Meanwhile I sit here with ramen and a cup of coffee. I think Valentines Day is the hardest day of the year to be single. It's the time of year when everyone makes plans with their significant other, reminding you that you don't have one. On top of that, stores everywhere all of a sudden get covered with red, pink and purple hearts with signs like "Be mine."
My only plans include meeting my friend Matt for Starbucks and then heading to Yakima so I can be at a birthday celebration tomorrow afternoon.
I went to go to the stoplight dance with Viktoryia on the 12th however when we got to the dance, only ten people where there. So we had a mocktail and left less than ten minutes later. I was still wearing my green scarf. Viktoryia was still in her what she refers to as her "oh la la " boots. So we decided to go to Ellensburg Pasta company only to get there just as it closed. Dissapointed we headed back to campus. We discovered that the Mexican restaurant by our place was still open. So we had a meal in there. She had a virgin margarita while I had the real thing.
After that I introduced her to "Blue Harvest." For those who don't know Blue Harvest is a Family Guy parody of Star Wars episode 4. My favorite part will always be when Lois who is supposed to be Princess Leia is making her message to Obi Wan Kenobi. After she says "help us Obi Wan Kenobi you're our only hope," she asks the R2D2 unit what is buffering. He responds "It means wait a minute." That is so me when it comes to technology. Seriously I'm suprised I can even text.
I learned that night noone should ask either one of us for directions. We had a little trouble finding the pasta restaurant because she was following me when I thought I was following her. Sadly this was before my strawberry margarita.
I also learned that it really doesn't matter what your relationship status is this time of year. I had fun with Viktoryia that night. I still got to be the lady in the green scarf. She got to walk around Ellensburg in her "oh la la" boots that night. I think what really matters is you have people who really care about you and as long as you have that, you can't go wrong. There are people who call Valentine's Day single awareness day or who are just not into this particular holiday. I just say I hope everyone has a great Feburary 14th no matter what their relationship status is.
