My Brother The Romantic

[highlyeccentric]

What to do when you have so many women, and only one Valentines Day? Many Sydneyites seem to be suffering from this problem- or the inverse, too many men and only one Valentines Day. Valentines Day Cards are purchased in pairs, even threes and fours. At first, i noticed these women and thought 'aha, smart girl- one for you to give to him, and one for him to give to you.'
With the men, somewhat sexistly, i thought 'aha, having a little bit on the side, huh? two little bits on the side?'
I am at a loss, however, to explain the woman who yesterday bought two cards "for my Husband".

Joel has a much more novel solution to this problem. According to mum, he will be swanning into school tomorrow bearing a single red rose (possibly pinched from the bunch dad bought for mum). This rose will then be distributed, petal by petal, to his lady friends.
Having been the occaisional recipient of roses myself over the last few months, and having shredded one of them, i can tell you that a rose has a lot of petals. So, it seems, does Joel.

A) Could be worse. You could have been born in Tasmania. Then you'd be a Taswegian.

B) True, true. And we do like to be employed; makes paying bills so much easier :P

C) You know I still love you, though, right?

D) I'd hate to think it was a problem.

:P

B) mind you, my timetable this year looks like a total bastard...

C) glad to hear it

D) i think that's sorted then.

;P

A) Meh. Penrith ain't so bad. Last crush was from Penrith, and he was one of the best people I've ever met. Then again, my sister's last beau was Penrithian, I believe, and he turned out to be a total pricky prickhead.

B) You already have your timetable? Is that a perk of living on Campus? 'Cause I didn't think they were available until O-week...

B) no, but i've found the subject timetables for three of four subjects, and i've already got only fridays off. grumble grumble just hope the fourth one doesn't give me clashes.

Only fridays? I've never had more than Fridays off. And you should be happy you get any days off beside the weekend. Friends of mine last year didn't have any days off. So just you count your lucky stars, missy :P
