This is why I have conveniently selected my birthday to be 2/15. Don't know what to do with all the unused chocolate / flowers / sex toys / diamonds that never found their home? Pretend they're birthday presents! Isn't it supposed to be better to give than to receive? That's right, I'm doing this for you.*

In terms of "meeting the person", I found that hanging out at Tracks and waiting for everyone I knew to tell me not to date that guy worked pretty well.

*fear not! if you lack those leftover things, a cuddle is as good a gift as any. also note unused.
