  The opposite of productive.

  So, I've managed to almost get through another five hour shift without doing much of anything at all. I've read the newspaper and checked out things online, but I haven't cracked a book for my Anthropology of Religion exam that I have on Tuesday. I really should get around to doing that...I just have no motivation after this week. Yesterday I had my Theories exam, and it went...as well as it could have gone, I suppose. I know I missed a few questions, but I really just didn't care much anymore.

  I feel like everyone has been in such an uproar about Valentine's Day. My single friends all bitch about not having dates or not getting Valentines, and my couple friends bitch about having to spend all that money on dinner, a movie, flowers and candy. Personally, Derek and I really aren't doing very much celebrating this year, but I'm okay with that. I decided to ask a bunch of my friends to go out to a fancy dinner on Friday night. I love their company and I hate to have anyone left out. We're not going out on Valentine's Day. He doesn't have anything elaborate planned for me. I was talking to my dad the other night about Derek and I, and he commented, "You two are like the old married couple that's still pretty cute. You'd rather go shopping at Costco and spend the afternoon walking at the park rather than shut indoors screwing like bunnies."  Haha, what an announcement for my dad to make, but we're close enough to talk about things like that. I'm glad for the things that Derek has taught me in our relationship...from patience to realizing that being physical isn't everything. I love him with all my heart. Our two-year anniversary is coming up on Thursday. We're going to Hocking Hills for the weekend next weekend, we rented a cabin and everything. It should be a really great time, just us, and I'm looking forward to it more than anything.

  But back to Valentine's Day...I wish people realized that you can have as much fun by yourself as you can with a boyfriend or girlfriend. Valentine's Day isn't about one-upping everyone else with how much money you can spend on your significant other. If you're in a real relationship, something valid and true, you will show them you love them every day and not have to wait until one random day in February to prove your love to them. If you are going about things the right way, they will KNOW. I think it's so important to tell your loved ones that you love them every day instead of waiting until the one cliche day of the year to do it.

  That being said, hope everyone has a great and happy Valentine's Day.

  Today I auditioned for my 4th Vagina Monologues. I read "My Angry Vagina" and "The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy."  I guess I'll find out by next weekend what I got/if I got anything. I think that performing in the Vagina Monologues is especially liberating. There's something about talking about vag on stage in front of hundreds of people that just feels so freeing.
