So I don’t buy into the Hallmark side of Valentine’s Day…

But I don’t really see a reason with a day celebrating love. While I don’t need a reason to have a nice evening with my husband, V-Day is just one of those days that reminds me to slow down and enjoy time with him, even if I have a test the next day.

Also, our Valentine’s Day traditions are really nerdy. This year we went to Barnes and Noble + GameStop. I got him Twisted Metal and Metal Gear Solid Risk; he got me The Queen’s Thief and five volumes of the Black Butler manga.

Then we went and saw the world’s most unromantic movie (The Grey - really fucking depressing by the way) just like we have for the last three years.

And in a couple of days we’ll buy half-priced badass chocolates and gorge ourselves on them.
