In Which I Share a Smile

This is pretty. :)

I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day because I've never had cause to. Which is fine, my dear friend Zu and I watch Jekyll&Hyde the musical (with David Hasselhoff as Jekyll/Hyde) every February 14th and laugh until we almost barf. I LOVE J&H day, I look forward to it all year. So to all of you who, like me, are without a Valentine, HAPPY JEKYLL AND HYDE DAY!! :)

But I thought I'd share this cuteness. My best friend's boyfriend came up today, gave her a massive hug from behind, and exclaimed, "Happy Valentine's Day!" in her ear before running off to class. It made me smile. So whatever you celebrate, or if you just love flowers, happy February 14th.

For me it will be a truly perfect holday if people learn to pronounce "February" right. Just sayin'. :)

In Which I Rant Just a Wee Bit

Dear Void,

I am posting again. It is about twenty minutes after my previous post. I have been sitting here, reading blogs, doing nothing of real value.

Why?

Oh. Yeah. I'm supposed to be on a date right now.

Don't get me wrong, I adore this boy. He is great fun and we enjoy frolicking together and generally acting like nincompoops because we're friends and we can. I also thouroughly enjoy being dressed as a pirate, as I am now, in preparation for the school dance which is candyland themed.

But let me tell you what I don't enjoy (and my dear Yoseph, this is in no way a personal attack on you, so don't feel unloved):

Lateness.

I really really dislike when people don't show up when they say they will. For instance, my dancing-pirate date was supposed to be here... forty-five minutes ago.

Forty-six.

Forty-seven??

*sigh* Forty-eight.

And so I blog.

Let me give you another example. A week or so ago this other boy said he was coming over at seven. Great! I decided not to change into my pajamas.

Seven fifteen.

Seven thirty.

Seven forty.

Eight? I texted him. "Oh, sorry, I'm helping a friend with his car. I can't come tonight after all." I COULD HAVE BEEN IN PAJAMAS THAT WHOLE TIME!!!

Ironically I'm posting this later than intended because my date finally did show up yesterday. The dance was fun.

But seriously.... humanity... Einstein said that the reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once? I have to disagree with you on this, Al. I think the reason for time is so that people actually manage to meet up when they want to. I think we should probably work on this.

Myself, sadly, included. ;)

In Which I Make a Smallish Change

Dear Void,

I was thinking about this blog. And how it's called "Commentary On" because originally I was aiming to give enlightening commentaries on the world. But I've had this realization:

My posts aren't all that enlightening.

So, henceforth, I declare that the commentary referred to in the title is an expression of my ever-constant interior monologue. Which may not seem all that different to you, but which feels a lot less limiting to me.

Over&Out (for now)

P.S. "smallish" looks really funny when you type/write it out. Just sayin'.
