Things I have learned today:

1. Chocolate is good, and possibly the secret to a happy life.

2. Chocolate automatically tastes even better if it comes in a heart-shaped box.

3. My mother is never, ever going to stop giving my sister and me random little presents on minor holidays, and God bless her for it.

4. Hershey's syrup is not an effective substitute for one's daily recommended intake of chocolate, which is so good.

5. Valentines, no matter how small, make people happy.

6. Phantom of the Opera *will* come out as a one-disc DVD, but it will also come out in a two-disc edition, which means that the Fametracker Forums girls are now putting away their pitchforks and blowing out their torches. For now.

7. There are simply no words for the craptacularity of the big lightsaber duel(s) in Attack of the Clones, and I should know, because I can't find any.

8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle valentines are awesome. (Thank you, Chesh!)

9. And thanks to everyone for the valentination in the previous entry. : )

Oh, come on! Those lightsaber duels are classic! =P

Hershey's syrup is really good with graham crackers and peanut butter.

I would agree with all of the chocolate things...except I really don't like the taste of it. But bleh. Sounds like you had a good V-day, so <333 yay!

Ah, out of curiousity-you do still check the P.O. Box in your user info, right?

Also, other than purple, what colors do you like?

Aw, I liked them! I liked AOTC more than TPM because the action was way cooler. I mean, there were clones. Who were attacking.

As for words, "craptacular" is a pretty spectacular word.

My mom is the same way, and it makes the day so much better. I think I've been single for all but one Valentine's Day in my life, and honestly--that was the worst I've ever had. :P To me, it's just a day with lots of chocolate and red.

I looked at the info about the PotO DVD (which I'm dying to see, actually... the movie, but the DVD, too), and realized that it's a friggin' two dollar difference between the list prices of the one-disc and two-discs editions. That's just... inappropriate, if you ask me, which you totally didn't.

I just checked it today, which is where the TMNT valentine came from. I like blue and purple, I guess--sometimes red.

I'm just at a loss to describe Anakin Lord-of-the-Dancing around with his two lightsabers, and the constant closeups Lucas uses to obscure the fact that all the wide shots are of Christopher Lee's double with Lee's face pasted on. Oh, and Anakin being like, "Here is my arm! Please chop it off at your leisure!"

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

It is bizarre, I give you that--I don't know why the single disc is priced so high, but I promise you that's not the price you'll actually see in stores.

You see? My prediction of Valentine's Day coming and going and leaving only chocolate in its wake has been proven true. I'll accept praise for this since it seems all my other predictions are proven to be completely wrong.

And I agree, chocolate from a heart-shaped box is sooo much taster than chocolate from a rectangular box.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I presume you do use the word "Lord-of-the-Dancing" in your parody, because verbifying anything is comedy gold.

Moms are great! My only valentine this year was from that crazy lady. She sent my roommates and I all valentine toe socks and me a special present of my "perfect man". Rainbowbrite's Red Butler doll! I haven't had a doll in so long, its kind of a crazy comfort that needs to be craved!!!
Thanks for making me happy, Cleo, by reminding me of the fun side of this day!

[cosmob.livejournal.com]

Oh, of course not. It's still one of the stupider things I've seen. It makes you question how closely connected to reality movie companies and distributers really are.

Okay, off to Valentine some folks. :)

*flings hearts with gay abandon* You've been Valentined!

7. There are simply no words for the craptacularity of the big lightsaber duel(s) in Attack of the Clones, and I should know, because I can't find any.

Perhaps not, but there may be images that will serve... For example, can you picture a poi [sp?] spinner twirling a Yoda doll with weighted feet and a glow stick glued to his hands?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

RED BUTLER! I LOVED HIM! I think I still have all of my Rainbow Brite rag dolls, actually...

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

You have a dancing Donald O'Connor in your icon. You rule.

I was actually soooo sad today because my mother put my package in the mail a week ago and I STILL haven't gotten it. Don't you just love that about parents? No mater what my relationship status on V-Day, I always got my mom and dad to get me some good chocolate and soothe my ego.

8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle valentines are awesome. (Thank you, Chesh!)

Glad you liked it. :D

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

I linked one of your cute icons for V day. Thank you!

(I'm overcome with shyness since I told you about the Star Wars thing. May I comment here in future, even with that stain on my escutcheon? It was a long time ago, in another country)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Which Star Wars thing? (You know the guy in Memento? Yeah. That's me.)

[girlalmighty]

1. So. true.

2. So I have learned! I got a heart-shaped box from home in the mail this morning. I love my parents extra today (which is so bad of me, to be swayed by chocolate).

5. Yes! I feel bad about not doing them this year. Next year, I will.

6. Yay!!

9. Oops, a little late, but happy Valentine's day! I put a "card" in my LJ but . . . yes, you don't see that. So. Yay!

[girlalmighty]

Just echoing the icon love here. Oh, lord, Singin' in the Rain. I love that movie, and I love Cosmo.

For some reason, I'm thinking of Kurt Cobain with the mention of the box valentines chocolate comes in. :p

"7. There are simply no words for the craptacularity of the big lightsaber duel(s) in Attack of the Clones, and I should know, because I can't find any."

The only two words I could think of were "sucked blow", so I know how you feel. I was weeping when I saw how Lucas had Nerfed the Jedi in Attack of the Suck.

Anakin: *prances about like a rave-kid twirling his glowsticks*
Count Dooku(sp?)'s Stunt Double: *tries to act like Chistopher Lee*
Yoda: *CGIs like Blanka*
Star Wars Fans: *weep*
