[love is in the air] despite my cyncism towards valentine's day being a money-making holiday and despite the fact 7th Heaven this week almost made me barf (i needed something to watch over dinner, ok?), i think it is *incredibly* endearing how everyone is running around berkeley buying flowers, overflowing the card store, and making reservations at the last minute. it's not like we start instantly caring for people more on that one day, but in the end, it's kind of nice to have a day devoted to completely loving and appreciating the ones near and dear to you =) i strongly believe it's not a "lover's holiday" but just a loving holiday -- so to everyone who ever reads this.. just know that you are loved, even though i may not say it all the time =)
