I started Valentine’s day as neutral towards the event, but when I opened my Facebook, I saw that codejill’s status was “will walk V-day to the end of the pier and force it to jump, and when she gets back, we will dance!” and I decided it fit in with my current agenda of declaring war on virtuous things. So I joined that team.
Instead of dancing, MY V-day turned out to be a hot date with a married man and a gay man. We went to a movie (The Visitor–see it!) and ate chocolate, and then had drinks at my favourite bar. It was kind of exciting to watch all of the awkward dates going on around us and cringe while the fun, but still V-day music which was all slow dance love themed played. Another (gay boy) friend joined us, and I tried to convince him to slow dance with me, but he was having none of it.
When I got home, codejill and I instant messaged comparing our respective V-days, and somehow ended up watching these videos, in this order. The first was just randomly posted by a friend, and completely hilarious.
Which turned into watching this one:
Where you might want to note the following:
Bon Jovi flies at 0:53 to about 1:20 (yes, flies)
Guitar solo at about 3:00
More flying at about 3:23
Not that I’m into the music or ever owned an album, but I’ve always imagined a Bon Jovi concert to be the most amazing thing ever. I think codejill and I have resolved to try it if the opportunity arises.
Between going on a date with the least opportunity ever, and therefore the most fun, and cataloguing a Bon Jovi video for exciting things, I think the most exciting V-day ever.
