Today is Valentines day but I had an awsome day today even without a Valentine so heres the thing; what good stuff hapened to you today that had nothing to do with love?

For Me:

I got an A in a mock english exam
PJ Harvey released her new album which I propty baught and became physically attached to FOREVER
Radiohead anounced/started a pre-order for their new album which is relesed in mp3 in friday and physically in may (clear vinyl ftw)
I found £10 in my pocket I thaught I'd lost
My new oyster card came so I can use busses again
My friend baked the WORLD BEST CAKE which I had a slice of.

For me:

~ I'm in a great mood today.

~ I met a beautiful and talented artist last week who seemed kind of into me.

~ I'm taking concrete steps to move on with my life and make positive changes towards being the person I'm capable of being.

~ I'm finally digging Lady Gaga's new song "Born This Way".

~ I came out to my landlord yesterday in defense of gay people when he was saying some really ignorant things (and wasn't aware that I'm gay). Before I came out last November, I would have sat back and listened to the hateful things he was saying and just felt shitty about myself. This time I stood up for "the tribe" and actually managed to change someone's perspective about the gay community.

~ I love being single.

My reasons why today rocks...hmmm...

I am on top of all my school stuff.

I got another check in the mail for an additional big pile of money.

I'm finalizing my impromptu roadtrip with my best friend.

I worked out what and where my next tattoo will be.

I'm single, but I am happier than I have ever been with myself.

It's my first out V-day! I don't know why this matters to me, but it feels good for some reason.

The weather is beautiful for the first time in months.

I have the house to myself tonight to rock out to Joan Jett in my underwear.

Zontar · 14th Feb 2011, 10:57 AM

The weather is warm up here in the Northeast for the very first time! I got so fuckin' sick and tired of temperatures in the teens, gray skies, and 15mph winds every damn morning I walked across campus. For once I can unbutton the jacket and enjoy the nice temperatures. This snow'll be gone before I even realize.

And, perhaps most importantly, this is my first "official" Valentine's Day as a bisexual man! Just came out last week...feels good man.

Aya McCabre · 14th Feb 2011, 11:10 AM

Valantines day was awesome because Elton John concert tickets went on sale. We have reasonably good seats ^_^

InaRut · 14th Feb 2011, 12:04 PM

1) Got a 75% on my Mythology exam. Not great but whatevert.
2) I have a bottle of wine with my name on it
3) PARTY TONIGHT!
4) I'm gonna eventually hand in my paper and have it DONE AND OVER WITH today.
5) There was at least 5 hot guys on my way through the metro.

Connor22 · 14th Feb 2011, 12:38 PM

today was great because:
I found out that the guitarist in church is gay
I got new running shoes and gonna start training tomorrow
I got my french oral written out

kwyjibo · 14th Feb 2011, 12:55 PM

Thing offered me a part filming a short film for a school competition. I have a camera, and I can work windows movie maker, and that's all I need! Yay!
Also, music lesson went alright, and I managed to scrape my French I'd forgotten to do in during break, narrowly avoiding a detention!

KittyBoy · 14th Feb 2011, 02:19 PM

Cheap drinks!!

Just Adam · 14th Feb 2011, 02:28 PM

Today I won £10 and fixed e68 on the 360 I want to sell and I finally beat Grundy on dcuo thanks to a great guy distracting him while I dished the pain.

Kida sucked the guy who teamed up with me later tho was crap ! Made my job harder as I thought he had my back then kept dying >.>

Also I sold a game for £2.50 that's not a lot but it only gathered dust.

Just with my guy was online now.

itzjoe · 14th Feb 2011, 02:59 PM

Flyers2011 · 14th Feb 2011, 06:40 PM

Everyone seemed pretty nice (even those who were slightly depressed lol).
There was lots of laughter.
I finished my computer design project.

Mr.Pushover · 14th Feb 2011, 06:46 PM

It was 65 degrees today, when the usual temperature at this time of year is like 40.

I had no homework, and just hung out with my best friend all day.

My mom was so thrilled with her valentines gifts.
=D

concklin · 14th Feb 2011, 07:06 PM

Today was actually crappy aside from being single, but...

-I got to see my favorite doctor today at the health center

-I got to see my favorite professor today (he is really attractive)

-It was really nice weather today, for once. But tomorrow it will be back to normal (by normal I mean below 20 F)

Same here

It was a pretty average day.
I made plans with friends for this weekend, though

Revan · 15th Feb 2011, 07:44 AM

Yesterday was lovely for me for several reasons.

~ Got a lovely massage for an hour at a spa which was just so relaxing.
~ Just had two exams so no more stress for a while and I was able to just watch tv and movies most of the afternoon
~ Had a great dinner with the bf
~ Awesome gift exchange. My bf gave such an awesome gift basket. It had chocolate roses, tons of chocolate hearts that were littering the box, Hershey's Caramel kisses, a heart shaped box of chocolates, and Family Guy Season 8
