i-mockery valentines!

[Kitsa]

I had never gotten flowers for valentine's day. When I was in my early 20s, I was dating a guy 20 yrs older than me and told him this. He sent me three stumpy red roses in a bud vase. It was obviously bargain-basement stuff, but I was prepared to make myself see it as the sweetest thing ever. Yeah, I was young.

A month later, on my birthday, he dumps me because his wife (yeah...surprise!) issued an ultimatum. Not only that, but she got my phone number out of him and stalked me for months. Worst 21st birthday ever, btw.

My point is to this day I hate red roses. And older men.
