Marginally Less Grinchy

_Responses to my "bah humbug" post about Valentine's Day ranged from hostility ("maybe you need to get laid") to laughter ("LOL, that was awesome!").  I also got several answers to two questions, and I'll share a few of my favorites:

A word or saying you would love to see on a conversation heart:

• Ruffian
  
• Yum, brains!
• Nice boots [<-----I think that one's my favorite]
  
• You dog
• Not tonight
  
• Unconditional
• Total dyke
  
• And one reader, AJ, sent me a picture of some funny ceramic hearts she made!

Just in case you can't read the hearts, they say (starting from upper left and going clockwise): bite me; you bore me; be my play thing; better luck next time.

The queerest, gayest, or most lesbian way to spend Valentine's Day:

1.  ...[W]ith the cats, while watching "Imagine Me and You," cuddling in our underwears. Granted, I have only one set of plaid panties, but I'm hoping that will do.  Stereotypes for the win?

2. At a girl bar, listening to politicially themed folk music, gushing about how much you love the woman you're with, then getting mad at her because she didn't respond properly.

3. Having sex with a woman (assuming you are one).


In any case, dear readers, thanks for your amusing emails and comments.  I hope you had a great Valentine's Day, whether you love it, hate it, celebrate it, are indifferent to it, or forgot about it completely, and whether you are single, dating, coupled, or stuck in one of those romances Facebook categorizes as "complicated."  As far as I'm concerned, you're all my valentines.  Thanks for being awesome.
