14 Days of Feb: Day 14

Yay! The last thing! We’re at number 14.

Now warning:
Due to the nature of these posts and of this…. uh… “project” of mine, I’m going to end it on a predictable and cheesy note.

Yep

And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.

Ready?

Well then for number 14 of what I think about when it comes to V-day is:

Love

Look! It's the 500th person who did the heart-in-book picture! How creative!

Yes. I am that obvious. I went there.

I think about love.

For obvious reasons.

But also in weird ways.

For instance, I think of random people who I know are together. Do they seem like they have a loving relationship? Are they doing anything today?

Or maybe my parents (don’t say ew or weird. If they’re not divorced they’re a couple). Is my dad going to do anything? Is my mom? Did they used to do things? What were things like when they were young? Did they celebrate Valentine’s day? Or did they totally forget the holiday?

It also makes me wonder about what love is. Literally and figuratively. Why we feel what we feel. Why the feeling is different depending on the relationship and person. It sounds simple, but love is actually really confusing. Unless you think of it in terms of chemicals (since it basically is a bunch of chemical signals and such in your brain), but even then it can be confusing. What makes mothers love their children? What makes some mothers hate their children? What about with fathers?

So many unanswered question.

So little time.

Yeah that’s how I spend some of my Valentine’s Day

Don’t judge.
Well you can.  I just won’t care :]
Too busy contemplating.

 

 

Well then this concludes the “14 Days of February”

Phew! That was certainly a lot of work

But also really fun 🙂 I quite enjoyed it. It made me think of Valentine’s day more than I usually do (not to mention remember it half a month in advance)

Hope you all have/had a wonderday February 14th!

14 Days of Feb: Day 10

Valentine’s day is Tuesday this year!
I say this year because I clearly remember it being on the weekend last year (please don’t check on this if I’m wrong…)
No, it’s not because I had a significant other. I just always feel like making chocolate cake right before or on Valentine’s day and I remember baking on the weekend last year.

So — continuing — it’s time for the 10th item on the list. Yet another thing I think of when it comes to V-day is:

 

Kay’s

Even the walls look like they're made of gold!

Now I’m specifically talking about Kay’s Jewelers and not just any jewelry store.

Why?

I hate to admit it, but this would be due to the success of advertisement. You’ve all heard of that commercial, right? The one they roll right around Valentine’s day, or even any jewelry-giving time of the year? Heck I’m pretty sure they play it 24/7. It’s the one that goes “every kiss begins with k” with the whole k = Kay. It’s rather catchy, so I always get it stuck in my head rather quickly.

The worst part is I even know which piece of jewelry they display on Valentine’s day or, at least, the one I saw awhile ago. It’s the one that looks like a heart (what a surprise) and looks like this:

See the hearts? They're so clever that there are two of them!

Yeah. I’m very aware of how sad this is. It’s also quite scary when you think about how much advertisements DO have an affect on you. Think about it: I may not be thinking of buying that piece or any piece of jewelry per say, but I now definitely know of Kay’s. So, if an occasion were to arise where I’d need jewelry like this, it’d probably be the first place I’d think of. Doesn’t help that the only other jewelry store I know of is Tiffany’s… Don’t judge…

 

So yeah. Kay’s. You know their advertisements are affective if they can get me to remember their advertisements, products, catchy tune AND get me to blog about them… It’s like they’ve gotten me to advertise for them!

They should pay me for this…
