Now, don't be alarmed by the last part of that title. There's a good reason it's there and I'll get into it in a second. I just wast to start off with how lovely my Valentine's Day was. It was mine and Peter's first V-Day together and though it wasn't out of this world romantic like in movies it was perfect for us. He did the usual; showing up with flowers and chocolates and I had given him a multitude of tiny gifts, as he was paying for the whole night. This multitude included M&M's (his favorite), a pair of underwear (as a "joke" gift) and a little lion with candy as I like to refer to Peter as my little Leo. Okay now that all the gushy stuff is through, let's get into the night
We started off by going to this Italian restaurant called Rivera in Glen Cove. We've never been or heard of the place but, it was recommended by a friend so we figured why not. Guys, this might have been the best Italian food I've ever had, ever! I had the handmade linguine with shrimp in pink sauce and Peter had the chicken parm and oh my god I couldn't even begin to tell you how amazing it was. My mouth is watering at the thought. Needless to say that could've been my favorite part of the entire night; too bad it's not over yet.
So the erotic sex. Can't say I was the one on the giving or receiving end of that one. But Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey were. Yeah, we saw Fifty Shades of Grey, and oh honey... it was something else. First of all (I won't give anything away), horrible acting. Secondly, I laughed the entire time. I couldn't help but think I was watching a Twilight fan-fiction..oh wait.. Thirdly, the ending was horrible. I was so mad that I just laughed all the way to the car 'cause I had no other way of expressing my anger at that point. With all this in mind, I still found that I was a bit, turned on? Yes that was Hollywood doing me a solid by casting Jamie Dornan, yet I found his character a bit creepy. He was worse than Edward from Twilight. Dakota Johnson played the "sub role" pretty well I guess. Not that I know much about BDSM or the book as I've never read it but, I could see how she could've easily been suckered in by Mr. Grey. She was way too smart though. I can't really go on much without giving detail away but, despite the horrid acting and dramatics and erotic sex plus the terrible ending (damn there's a lot wrong), I'm highly obsessed with this movie. I just want to sit here and analyze the crap out of it. On that note, I move on to the last part of the night.
We ended up going back to school where I have been residing. There I told Peter I had a surprise for him. I told him to turn around and close his eyes. After seeing the movie, he was expecting something a bit different than I had planned. When he turned around he was saddened and pleased to find that I had bought him six heart shaped donuts from Dunkin', all of which were his favorite. I specifically bought him three Boston Cremes 'cause those are his ultimate faves. I figured he didn't have to be the one to pull out all the stops tonight. Though I hardly paid for anything, and I'm grateful he did, it was our Valentine's Day, not just mine. Besides it's not like I went the extra mile or anything, I just bought him his favorites 'cause basically there was a sale on chocolates. No JK it's 'cause I love him.
So yes, I believe I can say that our Valentine's Day was a success. I had such a great time. Peter and I haven't done something like that in a while and I couldn't have been happier to be spending my whole day with him and just doing everything we love. Even if it means stuffing ourselves with pounds of Italian food until we felt dead and watching a shitty sex movie. How was everyone else's V-Day? Do anything interesting and less cliche than me?
