Hmm.... Negative is a lot easier for me to think of at the moment. I've never liked How Do I Live, by various people. It bugs me to the nth degree. "How do I live without you? How do I breathe without you?" What. Seriously, it's not healthy one bit to feel like that about anyone, romantic or platonic. You've got to learn to love life and living even if you can't be with one particular person. If you don't feel like you can breathe, honey, you've got a big problem. (You know, I think if that one line wasn't in the song, I might be more indifferent to it or just roll my eyes at it.)
Positive.... Bryan Adams has sung some beautiful love songs, but at the moment I can't think of any because my mind is too full of his platonic songs. **particularly squeeing over that Brothers song.** Though I guess I Will Always Return is probably meant to be romantic? I'm not sure why I always think of his songs when I think of romantic songs (especially when I can barely single any out at the moment). Something about them seemed so deep to me.
Of course, Rockapella has sung some beautiful romantic songs. And when I want the titles, they escape me too. -.- **thinks.** I Walk With You.... I Know Christmas (I know it was dedicated to Scott's son, but it seemed to be about his wife, too).... They have special meaning to me because they're sung by people I've loved since I was four. And the lyrics and melodies are gorgeous.
**yawns.** Okay, talking about romance is boring me. Let's move on to something more interesting.
Well, it's a lovely and cloudy Valentine's Day. The holiday isn't dawning exactly as I'd hoped, and I'm even more disappointed by the realization that I can't be excited for the mail on Monday. Gah, President's Day. Why do these minor, mail-stopping holidays always get in the way of me getting stuff in the mail? Seriously, I always hope that stuff I'm waiting for will come before the holidays and they rarely, if ever, do. I certainly don't have good luck with plushies coming before them. There's been two plushies over Labor Day, for instance. Neither arrived for it. (Of course, they didn't come the day after, either, so even if it had been a mail day, there wouldn't have been any luck. But just ... a mail day is always something to anticipate when you're waiting for something. If you know there won't be any mail to begin with, there goes the mail anticipation for that day.) And this isn't a minor holiday (for me, anyway), and of course mail would be stopped on the day anyway, even if it wasn't a holiday, but another plushie was due around Easter. I hoped he'd come before it, but he didn't. However, he came the very day after. X3
**flicks President's Day.** I wish it was next week. It would be a lot more interesting to me if we actually did something for it. I admit I'd be more interested in New Year's if that was the case then, too.
Even so, I'm excited for Valentine's Day anyway. I have artwork plans for today! And fics and blurbs to sort out! I didn't get that silly thing about Bakura written; instead I posted that Duke/Serenity thing I've had kicking around since November. But I'd still like to write the Bakura thing, just because it would be so amusing---Bakura running home to Yami Bakura in horror after a nightmarish experience at the school dance with all the girls fighting over dancing with him. LOLOLOL. **imagines it turned into quite the brawl.**
And I'm sure I'll enjoy myself tomorrow. I just felt the need to rant.

Date: 2010-02-15 11:05 am (UTC)LOL. See, there, I knew you were going to list a song that I knew that I didn't know that they did. XD **goes to see the lyrics.** Ooh, that sounds like a good song. X3 **wonders what it sounds like.**
How can you say that about the minor holidays??? **hugs them!** They're a life-saver!
LOL, you sound like that if you ever had an evil villain alter ego, he'd be the one that would want to steal all of the minor holidays! "Now they shall never get in the way of my plans, ever again! Muahahahaha!"XD Just wait until you get to college, then you'll see the light! XDTotally! X3
Well, they're supposed to be organized by type (Fairy, Fiend, Warrior, etc.), and then alphabetically within that type. So, at one point, I somehow ended up sorting a set of Warrior cards into the set of Machine cards. XD; (No idea how that happened.) And then, for two other times when I was putting some cards into a binder, I put some sets in the wrong order... Only I didn't catch it until several pages later, so then I had to painstakingly remove everything I'd put in since then in order to do it correctly. XD; **headdesk.**

Date: 2010-02-15 11:13 am (UTC)Heaven's gorgeous. *___* **has an AMV Favorited somewhere on YouTube that's Nephrite/Naru and the song.** But I think at one point the song fades into the background to have the voices heard in one scene, so probably not the best recommendation for a first listen. XD;
Oh, I'm sure I'd appreciate them more if I had a reason to. XD **points up to where she mentioned she'd probably be more interested if we actually did stuff.** Though we probably will do some semblance of celebration today.
**snarks.** That would be priceless.Whoops. Ugh, that's so frustrating when you have to undo a bunch of other stuff to fix a mistake!
And I'm still annoyed that Angel cards are called Fairies in the English version....no subject
Date: 2010-02-15 10:32 pm (UTC)XD **nods.** I probably won't celebrate anything on Monday myself, but extra time to relax and sleep in is always nice. X3 ....And to finally put away some Christmas decorations.... XD;
Totally!
Angels do sound so much nicer! And for a while, I was calling the Fiend cards Demons, since I was playing a computer game of YGO that was heavily based on the Japanese versions, and just got used to it. XD Have to say, though, the Angel/Fairy cards have some really gorgeous artwork. *__*no subject
Date: 2010-02-16 03:09 am (UTC)XD
**nodnod.** *___* If I ever do get a deck made up, I want it to be mainly Angel cards for the monsters. And it sounds wrong to even call them monster cards. XDno subject
Date: 2010-02-15 02:51 pm (UTC)LOL, isn't that something Kneemoi would do? Run off with Columbus Day? XDno subject
Date: 2010-02-15 10:34 pm (UTC)**snickers.** She totally would! ....**gasp!** Faye's in league with Kneemoi! I knew it.... XD ....And that makes me wonder what our evil alter egos would be like. XDno subject

Date: 2010-02-15 10:40 pm (UTC)Hmm.... I think you should plan to do something different on the minor holidays, then, to make them a bit more special than a normal day! Like maybe take the time to do something you've been wanting to do for a while, but never got around to it, or do something you don't normally do.... Like baking cookies or something, maybe? XD
no subject
Date: 2010-02-16 03:11 am (UTC)**nods.** That would be fun. X3 We've been going to make peanut butter cookies, actually. Probably won't get to it tonight, but I wonder if Dad will want to watch something....
