A little (fake?) history lesson?
St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. He is portrayed in modern times as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail. In an embellishment to The Golden Legend provided by American Greetings, Inc. to History.com and widely repeated, on the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he wrote the first "valentine" himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved and as the jailer's blind daughter whom he had befriended and healed, or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine."[17]
And the pope's mom ships it.
Thank god modern fangirls have the internet.
So, be you single or in the coupledom, please see today as a good day to ship, be happy and love everybody, not just your beloved. Also, lemme know what your favorite lame ass pickup line is. I love lame pick up lines.
In unrelated and unhappy news, I may have lost a sketchbook on the subway (unless I left it at work). Hopefully someone will return it. My address is in it...

Date: 2010-02-14 09:12 pm (UTC)As for pick up lines, Azula will always be my favorite:
1. That's a sharp outfit, Chan. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire class Fire Nation battleship leaving thousands to drown at sea… because it's so sharp.
2. Together, you and I will be the strongest couple in the entire world! We will dominate the earth!
And here's a classic corny line:
"I must have died and gone to heaven. How else can there be an angel before me?"

That's actually smart to put your name and address in a sketch book. I hope whoever finds it gets it back to you as well!

Date: 2010-02-14 09:35 pm (UTC)I made that one up all by myself. >D
It's Chinese New Year for us instead of Valentine's Day, though. =P
And I also hope someone returns you your sketchbook!
