Courtesy of my good friend Sophie (aka Captain Howdy), I'm going on a blind date during the Valentine's event! I am nervous and excited to see how this works out. [yes]
[b]Day 1: My Date[/b]

This is Old Otto. Old Otto is old. He can’t wait to meet you. But speak up, he’s hard of hearing.
Here are some facts about Old Otto.
Old Otto is so old, his birth certificate is expired.
Old Otto is so old, he went to high school with god.
Old Otto is so old, he walked into an antique shop and they kept him.
… And so on.[/quote]
Daaaww! Old Otto is not at all what I was expecting, but he looks like such a sweetheart! And I bet he's got great stories to tell. I don't mind spending the evening with a nice old gentleman (that is, assuming that he actually [i]is[/i] a gentleman.)

Look! A delicious bottle of Pinot Grigio. Your date has brought you the gift of booze! And quite the risk, too. Why you might have been teetotaler. Luckily for him, you can never say no to a good wine.[/quote]
Oooh, and look, he brought me a nice bottle of wine! Things are looking good in the gentleman department. I wonder where we're going to go?

[b]Day 2: His Ride[/b]

Well, you were not prepared at all for a motorcycle. Sure there’s the freedom of the open road, as the wind rushes around you. But there’s also the threat of, I dunno, maybe falling off. Your date assures you that it’s perfectly safe as he hands you a helmet. You accept the headgear and prepare for an adventure.[/quote]
Holy shit. I still don't know where we're going tonight, but this is Old Otto's ride! See, never underestimate or overlook the old guys, they're ballsy! This date is shaping up pretty good so far. [eager]
[line]#754c78[/line]
[b]Day 3: Where We Ate[/b]

You normally wouldn’t have thought that eating from a truck would be such a hot idea for a first date, but your suitor says otherwise. And he’s right. The gourmet food truck has some nom worthy treats, and sitting out under the stars is so relaxing.[/quote]
I tell you what, Otto's got style. I probably never would have found this food truck myself, and it's so delicious! It's a well-balanced choice for a first date too: casual, eccentric in the fun way, and with open-ended potential but without any pressure. [lol] Also, star gazing is my joint!
[line]#754c78[/line]
[b]Day 4: The Movie[/b]
[quote][img]http://www.menewsha.com/img/43187/ae5156f384206f84dbcc9e7f4c048988.png[/img]
E +6 Points
You like to think of yourself as someone who can appreciate the artistic and avant garde. So when your date suggests a foreign art house movie, you’re all for it. Little did you know that it would be a bleak, Bergmanesque film with blurry visuals, sparse dialogue and no soundtrack. Seriously, this makes no sense. Why is that lumberjack crying? And where did all those balloons filled with blood come from?
You can’t make heads of tails of this. But… best pretend you do, so you don’t look dumb.[/quote]
Pfft, the crying lumberjack is obviously a subversion of the masculinzation of patterns of pleasure for metrosexual viewers, and the blood-filled balloons are part of the director's recurring efforts to frustrate viewer expectations while simultaneously inviting us to participate in the co-creation of half-finished art. [t2h]
I admit I was surprised and nervous when Otto picked me up, but this date just keeps getting better and better!

You usually try to avoid noisy night clubs, but your date insists on introducing you to a local band he swears you’ll love. And to your surprise, they’re unbelievably good. The club is a bit loud and crowded, but still a good time.[/quote]
"Oh my god, Otto, this band is awesome!"
"What's that?"
"THIS BAND IS AWESOME!"

You have to wonder if chivalry is still alive in this world. A gentleman should walk his date to their door. But not your date. Oh no, he just left you in front of the house with a simple ‘goodbye’ and sped away. That butthead. Nearby a forlorn looking raccoon sits on the curb.
“You too?” You ask. “Men! Am I right?”[/quote]
Ah, and there he goes, off into the night as suddenly as he arrived. Good old Otto. What an incredible night! That was so much fun, I'd definitely go out with him again. I wonder if I'll ever see him again?
Oh, raccoon! Hi! *shy wave* I'm a really big fan. [love]

It's time for Valentines celebrations in Menewsha once again! Valentines is the first major holiday of the Mene year, and we always have big community parties to celebrate. I love it so much more than the mainland version of Valentines, since it's so focused on couples and consumerism.
This year, we're commemorating a bit of Menewshan history, when chocolate was banned on the island! Apparently this event ran parallel to alcohol prohibition in the US, so we're celebrating with some good old Roaring Twenties fashions, mafia games, speakeasy tours, and lots and lots of chocolate.
Most everyone is getting dressed up, and I have to say, some of the gentlemen in town are looking [i]quite[/i] dapper. [blush]
Anyhow, here's my outfit for the party! I'm quite pleased with it, and I even got a compliment from Captain Howdy! :D
[img]http://i.imgur.com/wbekow7.png[/img]
[line]#754c78[/line]
Happy Valentines to the world!
Admittedly, I spent most of the day sleeping. [lol] But I did go out in the evening with my family for the monthly art walk in town. I had a good time chatting with a few people here and there, and I bought myself a fabulous silver jacket that we found on sale. :D
Meanwhile, courtesy of Maha-Aamir's "abduction" agency, I went on a little date with Abel:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/2jJFaNg.png[/img]
Maha is offering dates with love potions, but I asked to skip that part of the service, [lol]. I may have a crush on Abel, but I would never want to trick him like that. [sweat] Now I'm going to go see about having a date with my brother Evander, and maybe Nami later on. ^^
[line]#754c78[/line]
Today was a quiet day for me. Made sure to check in on all the event games I'm participating in, but mostly spent the day at home cleaning out my closet! (See memory jar.)
I did go on a little sibling date with my brother though. ;)
[img]http://i.imgur.com/wE5QC5c.png[/img]
There was also a new shipment of items today—recolors of Vicky and Lucien's wedding outfits!—and I got my hair done up at the salon. (Also I got pleasantly tipsy later on.)

Today I felt like wearing something more dramatic and playing with the new clothes that came in.
