Monday, February 14, 2011

Whether you call it Singles Awareness Day, Valentine's Day, or The Feast of Lupercal (technically the 15th), the middle of February holds this magical distinction:

Freshmen will roam through the halls clutching huge, zeppelin-sized clots of balloons, noisily declaring their love for the boy/girl who has captured his/her heart for the past few days. It will be loud. It will be chaotic. It might send your teeth on edge.

But then there are the niceties: the senior who gives his teacher pirate jokes for V-Day (Why did the soprano want to be a pirate? She loved the high C's) the sophomore who gave her teacher flowers, the other sophomore who gave her teacher awesome hand sanitizer and a hilarious card, the senior who brought a single rose. Nice details that make the day better.

Just remember that VDay is about love in ALL its forms. And if you can't be with the one you love, baby, love the one you're with. Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot!
