One Valentine's Day

I usually don't like this holiday because it is one holiday that has a catch. It has strings attached. In order to be older than about 12 and celebrate Valentine's Day you must be in a relationship. Well the last few years I have just mostly sat at home and felt sorry for myself on this particular day of the year, but this year it was great! Valentine's of 2009 was my favourite in my memory. It was on a Saturday, and I got to sleep in which is something I rarely do. Then my mum made me brunch, which was kind of her. Then my sister and I made Valentine's Cards, and we went to a local Senior's Residence to give them out and we played Trivial Pursuit with some elderly ladies. They were pretty forgetful, but they knew some answers like the capital of New Brunswick (Fredericton) and Napoleon's last name (Bonaparte). It was Trivial Pursuit Jr. There was a little girl also spending Valentine's Day with the seniors, and she made me a card. It turned out to be the only card I got, which is kind of funny, but it was a very sweet card with a poem (roses are red...). After we went to the Senior's Home, we went to Tim Horton's. My town has like seven Tim Horton's and it is pretty much impossible to get from "A" to "B" without passing one. So we got French Vanillas, the love of my life. I was also with my wonderful sister and Mum. Then we went to a local second-hand store which has all kinds of clothes and stuff. It is probably my favourite store ever. When I go to college, I will miss this store for sure. And I went there on Valentine's Day! And I got two tops! Just so y'all know. That night, we stayed at home and ate pizza (its not delivery...). And did I mention that throughout the entire day, it was lightly snowing in the perfect fluffy way? Well, it was, and it was perfect. That evening, we watched a movie called Fireproof. It is a really low budget film, made by a church in like Georgia or something, but is really good. Anyway, last night I went to bed feeling a peace and contentness that I haven't felt in ages. And I thought, if someday I can find someone who makes me feel like that, I will stay with them forever.
