What Are You Nostalgic For This Valentine's Day?
• "Don’t you miss the time of love letters, mostly at school? The face of love was so tangible and inseparable from pen and paper. The poor chap whose heart was bleeding in love, often took his time and chose his words carefully on what was always attractive on paper."
• "People want to go back to the day where you're sitting at a coffee shop, make eye contact and there is this mysterious moment where you don't know each other."
• "I miss the days before everyone was offering their raw assholes on Grindr or whatever you're on."

"I went to university with the expectation that I would pursue intellectual interests on the same footing as men (I did: I never experienced condescension or lesser respect), but also that I would (and I did) meet my future husband in that excellent pool of male prospects. In my day, women held the power in sexual relationships. Young men understood that serious romantic pursuit would lead to commitment, marriage and family."
@Murgatroid My favorite part of that speech was when she said Sandra Day O'Connor is proof we don't need feminism.
I miss the day when Valentine's Day was the one day a year when the pharmacist could legally sell you condoms and lube at the same time. It just made the "romantic act" so much more exciting when there was no way to do it safely 364 days out of the year.
Same as always, Mello Yello and Burrito Supreme Doritos.
