Oh, good. I didn't want to sound like a Valentine's Day grinch. I like being romantic, I like doing special things for the people in my life, I like showing love.
But sometimes I think there's too much emphasis on this holiday as a couples thing, you know? When we could show our love for other people in our lives too. And like you say, Steph, it is very important to learn to feel comfortable with oneself and be happy being with oneself, which I do enjoy, too. I don't mean to make my V-Day celebration sound depressing or anti-romance in any way -- it's definitely fun for me. I happen to like the action films that I choose to watch, and the food's always good. Heh. And if I'm feeling really pampering, I might give myself a manicure or take a bubble bath and listen to gorgeous music. Or read a good book. Or go for a long walk and savor the wooded scenery. I never know where the mood will take me, but it's all in celebration of appreciating life, in whatever place I happen to be at this stage. With or without a romantic partner.
Angela: Well, what about love? What do you have to say about love?
Hodgins: It´s overrated-most of the time Dexter: They make it look so easy-connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world.
