Valentines Day is coming up and I’m trying to figure out the best way to say “I love you” to that special someone. You wouldn’t think of it as being something hard to do but I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do.
Ok - you’re right, I do have a couple idea’s but, (sigh) … which one do I pick and is that going to be the best idea? Will she even like it or just smile awkwardly all the while wishing I would have done something else?
So out of desperation I’m turning to my you - I need idea’s. I need something that will leave her saying - WOW!
Of couse, I might just take your idea’s and turn them into one big one or even take sections of them. But get my mind thinking. If you feel weird leaving it in the comment area - contact me with it.
So again:
What would make this the best Valentines Day?

Add to the discussion.
Along with Jaimie and Emily - I agree when they say - unless there’s really something shiny in a small package - stay away from them!
I ought to ban both of you from this site FOREVER but i’m not going to - i’ll give you another chance to help me come up with an idea.
you don’t want to ban us … we’re the ones you like the best - I mean, think about it, without me and joel here to comment on things you wouldn’t have banter about milk or cows … or sexist writing styles … or anything fun. besides - you asked for it.
And what if Jodi reads this and sees how AFRAID you are of commitment … you did pearl her didn’t you?
You pearled her?!?! How did I miss that???
(personally, i think giving a girl a diamond is an utterly sexist idea)
yes, he pearled her last august on their one year anniversary - and there’s nothing sexist about a diamond.
Trin - you have some weird views on what sexism really is. So for you and/or anyone else that might think this let me just say a couple things.
First of all being sexist is a problem with men (and women) but I feel what’s the bigger problem is when people waste their time on such unimportant issues such as “i think giving a girl a diamond is an utterly sexist idea” or even the below post where I painted a scene and some thought I was being sexist. Is that really were the fight needs to be. NO!!!!
What about women who don’t get paid enough in the work place or the recent reports of sexual abuse and intimidation of female prisoners by male guards in New York jails.
Pervasive discrimination continues to deny women full political and economic equality, and is often at the root of violations of their basic human rights.
These are just a few issues that seem to be a hell of alot more important. After reading what women go through in other coutries like; India, Afghanistan, Beijing, and many more - it makes me not even care to go any further on how pathetic you comment below is. Along with the comments a couple days ago.
People who waste their time on such small issues that are even questionable to if the comment was sexist or not - DO NOT for the part even help the issue.
This is just a small piece on my thoughts toward sexism and I might put together a whole story just to help everyone realize what sexism really is.
Until then - please figure out what you’re really fighting. Making a difference or creating road blocks for the people who are.
Trinity - this is jodi … I didn’t know that Aaron and I had to let you know that he got me a pearl - I didn’t know we had to let anyone know. And you didn’t miss anything, but our private and personal affairs are ours - we don’t put everything out there for the public to read for this very reason. We are a couple - and like any other we deserve a certain amont of privacy and respect.
I wish there was an emoticon for a cat fight! :-)
oh, and by the way… If you want privacy, DON’T HAVE A WEBSITE. The choice is really yours.
Let me start off by saying that I am profusely sorry for having upset you.
Jodi, I never meant to come across as believing that any part of your relationship is my business. You’re absolutely right in what you said, and I’m extremely sorry that what I said upset you. =(
As to my second statement (about a diamond being sexist…) - I meant it only in a humorous, totally non-serious way, but I realize now that I didn’t make that apparent. Aaron, I agree comppletely with you — and quite frankly, that other post that you wrote — though I didn’t comment on it at the time — I thought that it was a wonderful idea and it didn’t strike me as sexist at all. Sexism does exist, and we must be very careful as to what we label as sexism — my comment, taken seriously, only hurts the fight against true sexism.
Again: My deepest apologies to both of you.
One other really quick comment:
Jodi, I just read your web log… And I realized that I may have done exactly what you described: having “other girls come up to you and him, while on dates and completely disclude from any conversation.”
I honestly think you’re one of the coolest people I know, Jodi. I’m sorry that I didn’t get to know you better last year when I had the chance.
I just want you to know that I love that you and Aaron are together, and I swear, I won’t ask another thing about your relationship.
But back to the topic at hand … Aaorn’s site - and Valentines.
Joel - you can still have privacy in a relationship and have a website - it’s when people or readers expect the writer or weblogger to include them in every aspect of their life because so much of it is already out there - thats when you get into this. Aaron has done a great job at keeping “us” private and still maintains a kick *** website.
Alright - I’m going to stop posts on this topic. I personally don’t see any good conversation emerging from all this and would like to just simply stop comments now.
Comments will be allowed once again in my next post.
