I think maybe I always just felt pressure that things were suppose to be all perfect and lovey on Valentines day and it just annoyed me. I don’t feel in love on command, it just sort of happens. And if Joe has annoyed me a few times that day then I’m just going to be annoyed no matter what the holiday says I should be.  But when you just throw the whole holiday out the window, forget about “the perfect gift” and just appreciate being able to spend time together and realize you’re still head over heels in love after 5 years together then it doesn’t matter what day it is anymore. I’m definitely very surprised in both of us. I never really thought about how long we’d be together or if anything would last. I think that was the first thing I did right in any relationship. No expectations this time, just let it go where ever it was going to go and have fun in the process.
So the basics of our weekend has consisted of  locking ourselves away in the room, playing video games and eating lots of chocolate! Absolutely perfect. We’ve been playing Silent Hill on Xbox360 too so it’s been completely freaking me out which always makes for a fun time. Apparently it’s really fun to torture me when I’m scared -.- I really liked doing nothing though, very simple things make me happy.

This past Friday was also Kiwi’s 1st birthday! I made him a “bird cake” out of sliced up pieces of fruit that sort of resembled a cake. He was scared of it for like and hour, then finally grew some bird balls and gave it a try… long story short; sticky fruit mess all over his cage now. Also gave him a few new toys which he’d already starting to destroy. I’d say he enjoyed his birthday. I’m plotting now to get myself a birthday gift… a little blue baby brother for Kiwi XD. Found a store in Manhattan that hand raises and socializes baby birds (including parrotlets) from hatching. Also means I can pick out a baby bird and go feed and play with it all I want till it’s weaned and ready to go home. They also sell the mutated blue form for the same price as the green! So I won’t have to spend $400 on an 8 ounce bird, thats effen crazy. I do think Kiwi needs a friend to help him become more social and give him something to do when no one is home. But this time for the first 6 months my new birdie is going EVERYWHERE with me. Its so much easier to expose them to things when they’re like a month or two old and they won’t be afraid of it. Kiwi is such a chicken XD.
