Happy Valentine's Day

Dear Lord, I can't believe I wore pink today after I told C I thought pink was outworn. I wore pink and red to be exact. I did this as my tribute to Valentine's Day. I had a date tonight, too. A friend of mine took me to dinner and a movie because she knows I'm Valentine-less. Yes, it's a she. She has a boyfriend but she made specific plans with him to have their Valentine's on a Saturday so that she could spend Valentine's Day with me. Wasn't that sweet of her? I wanted to cancel because I felt so lame.

We were going to see Million Dollar Baby as she knows about my silly crush for Clint. My 'geriatrics fetish,' is what she calls it, but the movie started later than expected and I needed to be in bed before midnight. Tomorrow's my early day. We ended up seeing Hide and Seek. I don't even remember anything about the movie because I had my eyes closed most of the time. The theater was half empty, I sat with my legs folded beneath me and I held on to my coat, longing for an arm to hold on to. I wanted to grab my friend's hand and use it to shield my eyes but she was like, "Emma, watch the movie," but I couldn't. It was so friggen scary. She laughed at me, so did a couple other strangers.

"Did you know you missed almost half the movie?"

"I can't help it."

That was my '05 Valentine's. I hope yours was love-filled.

Peace out.
