love makes the world go round

It’s not Valentine’s Day anymore, but I decided to make a V-Day post anyway. This year, it was spent in Stauffer Hall as I rehearsed for 6 hours… but to be honest, I really enjoyed it. I’m going to miss this play so much once it’s over. I’ll miss working with Jonathan, Zoe, and Harrison a LOT. I am so tempted to try out for Iphigenia 2.0!! (Unfortunately work is a higher priority).

Anyway, I’ve never been too big with the whole Valentine’s Day thing, mostly because nothing great has ever occurred on that day for me. So, it was pretty awesome when my boyfriend gave me a bronze and black cast-iron tea pot. =) Seriously, you have no idea how damn sweet that is. I absolutely love it!

I think another reason why I’m not into the frilly chocolate and balloons of Valentine’s Day is because it’s just a ploy from stores to buy more crap (don’t get me wrong, I like flowers as much as the next girl) ….but apparently this will show each other how much you love and care for them. But, shouldn’t we be doing that every day? Why should one day be more significant than all the rest to show each other how much you care for them? That’s why I’m not too keen on the whole Valentine’s Day thing. If you truly care and love someone, you can prove it by how you act towards them. If you’re saving it for one special day, however, you’re just a phony.
