My Valentine's Day

I hate to think that I easily post about lame holidays, but seeing as I actually did kind of celebrate this one, I don't think it would be fair to just ignore it.

Before I talk about it though, I'd just like to give a little bit of background information on my love life. Right now I'm going out with a girl called Emma. Mind you, I'm not going to post about our relationship all that much. There are already annoying rumors and such, and seeing as there are actually people at my school who read this, it would not bode well for us. We've been going out for a while now, since about the first semester, and we're doing pretty well.

Enough of that though. What was special about this Valentine's day was what I did for Emma. Her friend, Jade, is in her second period class, and once the bell rang for break, Jade told Emma she needed to talk to her in private in the music room. Emma was a litle bit frustrated because she wanted to know what was going on, but Jade lead her to the music room (for anybody who doesn't know, it's the room the band, choir, and my band practices in, and it has a keyboard and a crapload of percussion instruments).

Within a few minutes, Jade had taken her to the music room. She opened the door and Emma walked in. Emma heard the door close behind her. She also saw me, sitting at the keyboard, and heard me, playing She Paints Me Blue by Something Corporate, a song and band that we both know and love. She sat down on the steps and listened to me sing and play, until I finally finished and handed her four carnations and a box of chocolates. She loved it and almost cried.

Turns out I can be romantic.
