Happy Valentine’s Day! A kiss, with all the love I can give, to each and every one of you. “There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.” –George Sand ---

I know far TMI about many of you to shake your hand let alone be kissing you. 😛 Would you accept a friendly wave and a let’s-do-lunch-next-time-you’re-in-town?! 😃 ---

Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! Let’s get another picture in front of the fish. Say ‘yokh’! :: flash :: (Sorry. I just recently watched Atlantis again. Nice animation, even if the story has holes you could pilot a supertanker through.) ---

For the hours of entertainment, The hours of uncontrollable laughter, The hours of thought-provoking discussion, The hours of being unable to leave here when I really should be working, And the multitude of kindness, I love you guys! 😃 ---

Just please, make it please be over, please. It’s not as bad as Christmas, though. Now, Christmas; there’s a holiday I can really hate. Valentine’s Day rates a solid “meh”. Stranger ---

Yep, happy Valentine’s Day to everyone on the Dope. And yeah, I mean everyone. Use the day (or what’s left of it) to celebrate the love you’re having now, the loves you remember, or the love that’s on its way. Of course, super +4 double-dog happy Valentine’s Day to **Miller** , my favorite Doper. (Next to myself, natch.) I think I’m finally starting to understand what all those songs and movies have been making such a big fuss about. (And I should wish a Happy Valentine’s Day to the poor guy cleaning up the grocery store last night, who had to watch two guys kissing at the pay station for the garage and had a semi-horrified “what the hell was _that_ all about?” look on his face. Enjoy it, dude! It’s San Francisco! Hope you’re getting to make out with your own special person tonight!) ---

Just stopping to grab my hot holiday smooches. Bet you didn’t know you were going to have to kiss the “ugly” guys, too? At least you didn’t offer a Valentine’s shag. 😃 Happy VD to everyone! ---

Enjoy it, dude! It’s San Francisco! Hope you’re getting to make out with your own special person tonight!) Funny, I would love to watch two guys kissing at the pay station for the garage. If it was a guy and a girl kissing, I’d be thinking “Get a room!” Two guys, though, and I’d be snapping pics. ---

If it was a guy and a girl kissing, I’d be thinking “Get a room!” Two guys, though, and I’d be snapping pics. Well that seems like an unfair double standard. But seeing as how it’s the best kind of unfair double standard (one that benefits me), I’ll let it slide. Keep the cameras away, though, please. It’ll undercut the “Nerdy Homos Gone Wild” video business we’re thinking of starting. ---

And it is an unfair double standard, but I’m a straight female and I’ve seen too many straight couples slobbering all over each other and not enough gay couples doing the same. 😃 ---
