today i am an origami master

in class today, we had an assignment due. what was the assignment?  we had to teach each other a new skill.  in my group, we learned how to float a paper clip on water, make an origami cup, make an origami butterfly, and cut a peice of paper into a loop long enough to step through.  yes, this is school.  i taught how to make the cup.  it took about 60 seconds.  i am a true master.

i hope you all had a beautiful valentine's day yesterday.  i pretty much did nothing special.  i worked, grocery shopped, and did laundry.  you may expect this to turn into one of those little rants about how valentines day is stupid or commercialized.  how we should all love each other every day, and there's no reason to declare a specific day to do so. 

wrong.  i love valentines day.  i don't care about the commercialistic aspects, or the mushy gushy stuff.  but i choose to celebrate the fact that there is a day when people are likely to have love on the brain.  they think about each other, make plans, and try their very hardest to make the person they're with feel like the only person in the world.  yes, we should absolutely love each other every single day, but what's wrong with having a day when we are all really focused on it.  that's like saying we should be grateful Christ was born every day, so there's no need for christmas.  valentines day promotes love and caring about each other.  we could all use a little more of that.  so relax, all you valentines haters.  appreciate that busy working men are out at the grocery store on their way home, buying flowers for their wives.  it's beautiful and we should be grateful that we celebrate love. 

if you forget what true love looks like, just watch this.
