Well here it is. Valentines Day. The most depressing day of the year. No, not really. I’m not depressed. Girls are stupid anyway. And yet there is still that feeling of lacking something, which Valentines Day for some reason feels the need to point out.

I WAS going to sleep through today entirely. 24 hours of sleep and not having to experience a valentines day this year? that would have been great. unfortunately, my body had other plans. It would not allow me to sleep anymore at about 8. But I was pleasently suprised when I saw something sitting on my desk when I came out of my bedroom (ok, ok… it’s not a bedroom… it’s a closet… but.. still… I’m not going to say I came out of the closet ;))… Anyway, a very cool friend of mine brought me Reese’s Peanut butter cups… and a card thing. I have no idea how they got into this room between when I went to sleep and when I woke up at 8, but ummm… apparently she found some way. Anyway, point of this being, I just want to share the 2 quotes that are on the card. It is related to something that we had talked about yesterday, so I that made it cooler for me cuz it’s something I’ve been thinking about… but anyway, here you go:

quote #1: “Friendship is a strong and habitual inclination in two persons to promote the good and hapiness of one another.”
-Eustace Budgell, English Writer

quote #2: “…the responsibilities of friendship?… To talk. And to listen.”
-Rosie Thomas, English writer


The one most important thing I think about a good and healthy friendship, or really relationship of any kind, is that it is 2-sided, not one-sided. If either invidual is self-seeking in it, then that will mess the whole thing up.

Check back later today, and if I have had time I will either have a new post, or have updated this post. I am going to post something…. love-related, I guess. It will probably be pretty short, but it might be worth reading 😉

Later.
And to quote the e-card heather sent me…. Have a “Happy unimaginative , consumerist-oriented and entirely arbitrary, manipulative, and shallow interpretation of romance day!”
