Yo, kids. Your parents might not want reading this entry due to the language, so do it on the sly and stuff. Really, it's not that bad. Honest. You'll get worse in your sex-ed class. Back when, I hated Valentine's Day. It was, quite possibly, the worst day of the year. It only emphasized the fact that I didn't have anyone. As I grew to realize that having a "significant other" wasn't the be-all/end-all of existence, I began to tolerate the day. It still sucked, though, because I didn't have anyone. Later, my single friends and I started to band together on Valentine's Day to party in our own way. We'd gather at someone's house and watch horror movies about couples being violently eviscerated by monsters. That was fun. But... It just wasn't the same as having a romantic evening with someone. At last. Dave entered the scene. We'll be celebrating Valentine's Day next weekend while he's down here. Finally, finally... I have someone. My outlook on Valentine's Day has improved tremendously. But as you know, there's only so many ways to say, "I love you." Last night we were playing around on the AltaVista Translation machine (see the sidebar). The translator gives odd translations at worst and totally wacko at best. The game goes like this. You think of a phrase and enter it into the translator. Choose a language to translate it to. (We used German because we're both a little familiar with it. I know some Italian, but it's all useless garbage). Copy the translated German phrase back into the translator, and translate it back into English. Sometime the results can be a little surprising. grin We started out just entering slightly erotic sweet nothings, just silly phrases we thought up. It started escalating a bit, but Dave had to go to bed. After he left, I entered a few "stereotypical" romance novel phrases that I thought the translator would trip over. Here are the results. Enjoy!
"Oh really? I didn't know that was part of the requirements."
sssschhhrrrack! "Base to Sarah, please retransmit your spasms of the joy. Over."
"Ow! Get your stupid NOT-HUNG out of my ear, you fool! And take your mean old body with you."
I thought it was interesting that it basically got that one right, except for the punctuation.
You have to clap if you believe in Shivers! Clap! Otherwise the thorns will get them! Clap!
More requirements. sigh Ok, let me into those levers, now. Ow! Quittit!
Work it, baby! Don't stop! Augh, you stopped me! Of course, I saved the best for last. grin
Damnit, woman! You crinkled my toes again. Come on, back to the emergency room.
G'night, folks!

Looking Back On this date in 1939, Germany launched the battleship Bismark. Hey, it's not all hearts and cupids.
Spinning I've just been picking at the magazines and books I have lying around. Every time I try to sit down and read, I get interuppted.
