Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Bon! Happy first-dativersary! How many years now?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Nine whole years! I was laughing at Jesse's status because Bob brought me a bouquet on V-Day, and I was embarrassed.

Our wings are not tired.

I had a date. He brought me a rose, which was nice, but as I said to the drunk girl on the train (with her boyfriend), it's a nice flower, but I'm still going home alone! You people have no idea how happy I was that someone commented, because I had the line all ready.

Well done!

Jesus, you're old and shit now, huh?

(I would go on a first date on V Day now, well, aside from how reluctant I am to go on dates, because I would *dare* the guy to fuck up the rules I wouldn't tell him beforehand)

(But they're perfectly reasonable don't go to far, don't stop short rules)

(Just find the line, blindfolded man)

I'm guilty of having expectations that weren't fulfilled. But if the guy's right, you forgive and forget tell the story once a year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I forgot you had a first date on VD! That makes two couples I know who did, who are both married. Good times.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That video was ridiculously sweet except for the "You complete me/You had me at hello" bit which is merely ridiculous.

Aurelia, I dislike that exchange better than the bit from Twilight he says he'll love her until she's a corpse, or the stultifying but from Forrest Gump. Way too many inclusions to not irritate everyone, but I think it works really well as a whole, and it knocked the breath out of me with the climax, which I totally wasn't expecting.

I never saw Twilight , so I can ignore that part more easily.

It was from the only one I saw, but either way, it's the only movie with him in it I've seen, so it resonated reasonably awfully.

And, I can't like, I liked Jerry Maguire until about five minutes after the movie ended, when I had a full body shiver and rejected it whole.

I feel I have a strange maturity of relationships mission now at IO9. The topic is a lot less contentious and illegal than before, but I'm trying to convince romantic ladypenis guy that a mature adult can be honest about not being monogamous yet, if ever, and there's no big rule that says dating two people at once has to be disgusting, just because some women said so once, and because all your friends lie about it.

In between shaking my head ::children:: I'm shopping the sale rack at sockdreams with the additional 20% off, because I *cannot* manage socks. I swear I keep buying socks I love, and I can never find an appropriate pair in and of a morning. Obviously my filing/laundry needs to get fixed, but maybe I can fix it like I fix my panty issues, with...well, okay, maybe ruffles.
