Friends and Lovers

Well, Valentine's Day is only one day away. What are your plans for the day set aside for lovers? Will you find someone to spend this special day with, or will you spend it with friends.

I hate it when people get in a relationship, and forget about their friends. They are oblivious to the fact that before they had someone, these were the same friends that were there to help them through the lonely nights. These will also be the shoulders that you cry on if the love affair does not last. Why do people do that?

I make it a point to balance both my relationship and friendships. It's a hard job, but you have to do what you have to do to keep the peace.

Normally, my single friends and I have a "Sweetheart's Day". We get together, have dinner and drinks, and everyone brings at least one old movie or board game that they love. We also bring gag gifts. This year it is at my place, and I spent all weekend on the decorations. I have some great party favors (as freaky as can be)! My mom and aunt aunt will be doing all the cooking tomorrow before everyone arrives (I love my mom's cooking!). I can't wait! We are changing it up a little this year to include both singles, and couples(seeing that I am now in a relationship). For the first time, we are bringing dates. I hope it all goes well. We will get to see how our mates "fit in to our circle". My friend Diva (as I call him) is kind of hard to get along with. You either love him, or you love to hate him. He says exactly what he is thinking, and he is not tactful with his words. Sometimes he can be down right tacky. He is such a drama queen at times! He is one of the most flamboyant gay men that I have ever seen, and loves to be the center of attention. But I love him still. I just hope he is on his best behavior tomorrow.

So, what tricks do you have up your sleeve for Valentine's Day?

If you could get or give one special gift, what would it be?
