been SUPER SUPER busy with Ninth Letter. I'm doing a layout for this non-fiction piece that the editor just happens to love and deems it his "Favorite piece"--going as far as saying that he is the president of the Genine Lentine fan club (genine being the author of the piece). WHAT PRESSURE. so anyway, i've been trying so many different things and i'm pretty much down to the wire. i'm all out of ideas, people keep offering contradicting opinions, and it's due next monday at noon. HOLY CRUDS.

[i hate valentines day]
I usually hate valentine's day. yes, for all the reasons that everyone else does, so you dont' need to hear abotu it... but just know that i'm among the haters... but this year, Rob-b went all out and i just had to love it. rundown of the day:

0930am During class, rob-b nudges over to me, presents me with one of those giant hershey kisses and goes "will you be my valentine?" It was cute and sweet and that could have been enough. .... and i thought that was going to be it for the day.
0400pm As we parted ways after being in the stinkin' art building together for 7 hours straight, all he says is "All right, i'll see you later tonight" all nonchalantly. tricky bastard.
0430pm i fall asleep on bed
0500pm roommates sarah and jamie force me to go to the mall. Yes, i did promise them beforehand, but never had they been so forceful. i thought they were just mad at me cancelling them as sarah yells at me and hangs up on me when i try to get out of it... and jamie does her little "sheilaaaaaa, just come with usssss" guilt crap. Sarah calls fred i guess who lives nextdoor and he reluctantly comes over and forces me to go with him to pick up sarah and jamie and then to go to the mall. RAWR.
5pm-7pm we take our slow arse time at the mall. Sarah goes as far as having jamie and i play dress up for her in the dressing rooms (me as a slutty sailor and jamie as a slutty school-girl) we waddle around the mall some more and then SUDDENLY they abruptly decide to go home.
0710pm we arrive home. i'm the first to go into the apartment and notice the door close behind me without anyone following... candles everywhere. It finally clicks what's going on but i'm delirious at this moment. As i walk around the apt admiring all the candles... i spot deb hiding in the corner behind the couch trying to take pictures of me. i stupidly ask her "where's rob-b"--totally ignoring the arrow made of candles pointing to my room. =P I believe he greeted me with "i'm TOADally yours" while holding out a chunk of toad-shaped chocolate. Oh Rob =).

He made dinner for me (chicken parm and fettucini alfredo) all by him self (first time he cooked!) and it was DELISH. He also got me enough chocolate to last me for a very long time =). haha, actually, a few weeks ago he found my fat stash (which was basically just a stash of candy bars next to my bed). He gave me a lot of crap about it and so sweetly mocked me about it by putting a row of candy bars next to my bed =P. It was the best vday ever, thanks for the surprise =)


arrow made of candles... one of'm is out cause i'm a klutz and set my napkin on fire.


flowers and picture frame rob-b got for me =) and yummylicious chocolates.
