I prefer romance to sex. Especially today. I'm not a cynic who chronicles the lifeandtimes of how the media and consumerism destroyed a perfectly good "holiday" such as Valentine's Day blah blah yadda yadda etc etc.

I actually really like Valentine's Day and this is probably the first time I will be with somebody I love on Valentine's Day. I remember V-Day's in the past brought nothing but heartache. But not today. Today I have a man who loves me, and who I love, and a mysterious night planned by this man. I have no idea what I'm doing or where I'm going for supper or otherwise. I would be happy going to McD's to eat as long as I am with him. And as for getting me roses, I kind of hope he doesn't because they are ridiculously expensive! Seriously, I'm a really good girlfriend because I won't flog him if he doesn't bring me roses today. I know how expensive they are and frankly, at that price, they're a waste of money.

So today, I want romance, not sex. But romance doesn't have to involve flowers and chocolate. Let's see what his Valentine's card reads.
