So, all this fuss with the little bitty versions of people, and gender swaps - that included even the gods running around looking stupid, has reminded me that we're all on equal footing here.  It's been nice to not just hole up in my room.

Valentine's day?

[thatlaureltree]

They said it's a holiday to celebrate lovers.

But instead, it's got everyone turning into nervous idiots, and gossiping about an upcoming dance, and about buying each other candygrams. I don't even know what a candygram is, but I don't want one if they make everyone so anxious.

I'm sure Aphrodite and Eros will appreciate the holiday regardless.

He's going to have a field day around school.

I'll be doing my best to avoid him, thank you very much.

[sunshnesongster]

You can be my Valentine~

[thatlaureltree]

You stay away from me.

[sunshnesongster]

Now that's not very nice at all.

[thatlaureltree]

I'm nice to people who deserve it.

[thatlaureltree]

Well, some of the people around here are nice and not crazy. You're one of those.

[thatlaureltree]

I've been good! Making friends.

[thatlaureltree]

Moral support? I'm not sure. It doesn't make sense to me either.

[thatlaureltree]

I mean, I can go to the bathroom by myself. Can't you?

It's a ridiculous mortal festival involving far too much pink and glitter.

Last year, Cronus sent us zombies.

[thatlaureltree]

How are zombies romantic?

Glitter too, for that matter.

[togivewhatisdue]

They were intended to kill us. It wasn't pleasant.

Ask the gift card companies.

If he just wanted us dead, it seems there are much easier ways he could do that, now that we're mortal.

Maybe I will.
