yeah. a few things

1. this computer is being very slow. i hate it.

2. i got my hair cut on saturday. did i already mention that? i might have. anyway. yesterday it was way cute. and today i wasn't able to let it totally air dry so now my bangs aren't being "cute curly bangs" and it's dumb. they are instead being "sort of wavy weak ass bangs". i might need to put a pin in them.

3. there is gross chocolate cake in the fridge. i'm not a fan of this kind of cake usually but i really want some. but i won't eat it. because i'm not going to eat anything that is not worth eating. something.

4. just a FYI: today is valentines day. corey and i will probably not be going to eat dinner or anything because that is weak ass. (also, neither of us get paid till thrusday.) anyway. here is a story:

valentines day is usually very lame. so lame that i think of it as being just a regular day. i have no idea what happened last valentines day. someone remind me please. i just looked on a calendar and it says that it was on a saturday. meh. that doesn't jog my memory so it probably wasn't that exciting.

however, i DO remember valentines day of 2003. i lived in iowa city. and corey came to visit me for a long weekend. i picked him up from the cedar rapids airport on thursday night. i drove him around IC and then we went to my house and went to bed because it was late. the next day was friday and i had to work from 10 - 5. lame! corey walked me to work. i asked if i could leave early. i think i left at 3 or something. it was still light out. i got home and corey was there. fun! then mark called and we went to george's and i ate a cheesy bun. corey had a hamburger if i remember correctly. when we left we stopped by "dirty johns" which is not the real name but actually a nick name. we got some berry flavored beer that is really good. i can't remember the name right now but i will find out. anyway, when we left it started to snow. we walked home and had drinks. it kept snowing. after a while we set out to walk to eagles food store. it's wasn't that far by then the snow was deeper. we bought food for dinner which was potato soup. i bought wine and didn't get carded. i thought i was pretty cool. when we walked home corey told me that i dragged my feet when i walked and then pointed to the footprints that i had been making. i was embarrassed. we got home and made dinner. then i gave him a hat that i made him. he said he wanted a black beanie that folded. i bought really expensive yarn from austrailia that was really soft. now the hat is stretched out and looks like a rasta hat. corey won't wear it. before corey came to visit me i told him he better not have any "ideas" about valentines day because i hated valentines day so he better not fucking get my anything. and he didn't. looking back on it i feel bad for yelling at him. i am a be-yotch.
ANYHOO, the rest of the weekend was really fun and after i got home from work on that monday he said "i can really see myself marrying you". i didn't say anything except for "oh" and then about a week later i said "so i hope i'm not being too presumptuous, but i bought one of those wedding magazines"
and from then on it was just sort of known that we would get married. of course he proposed "properly" when i went home for spring break. but i don't think very many people know this other story. maybe some people do. i have no idea though.
