I know Valentine’s is becoming more and more of a nuisance than a treasured holiday, but at the end of the day it was still intended to celebrate love, so I still like it. Like Christmas, you just have to find ways to make this a more meaningful holiday rather than buy into all the propaganda they try to shove down your throat. And so, in celebration of this wonderful celebration of love here is a Valentine’s Day meme. I stole it off Bearcub’s Soapbox, but deleted quite a few questions¹ because it was  a very long meme!

1. If you married the person you last sent a text message to, what would your last name be?
   Neate².
2. Are you getting engaged any time soon?
   I don’t think so.
3. Are you looking for a girlfriend /boyfriend?
   No, I’ve got a great one.
4. Public displays of affection?
   Depends on the situation.
5. What is your favourite restaurant?
   Milestone’s Restaurant
6. Favourite candy?
   Mini fuzzy peaches³, but I don’t actually like candy – I prefer chocolate.
7. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?
   Ugh. Is it not May yet?!
8. Have you ever intentionally made someone jealous?
   Yeah… but not maliciously.

   May = my love moving here!

    Am in one right now.

    Yes!
15. Do you sleep with one leg out from under the covers?
    Depends on the temperature.

    Depends on the situation.
25. Do you currently hate someone?

I’ve wanted to create my own bucket list for a while now, but I never seem to get around to actually doing it.
