2nd Annual Valentine's Day Extravaganza!

[Miss Chicken]

Yes, thank you Kestra.

[Kestra]

Oh, you're welcome! It's fun for me, seeing all the happy messages. It's one time that it's good to be the messenger! I do want to apologize though for not sending out any flowers of my own this year. I got so busy with everyone else's requests. I hope that you all know that you're important to me and I appreciate my relationships here on the board.

[Robert Maxwell]

Thanks for doing this, Kestra!

[cooleddie74]

Thanks again.

[CorporalCaptain]

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

Well, shit.

I've just read my Valentine's and they made me all teary! And they make me wish even more that I'd sent more than one. It's been a bad couple weeks and I've been a wreck, to be honest. I'm afraid I was too wrapped up in my own head to bother with writing my notes, and I was also terrified I'd forget someone! But to those who sent Valentines, thank you. There are people here who've really impacted me, although we've never met, and to think that I could have impacted someone else in the same way is humbling. To those to whom I didn't send my Valentines, I'll let this serve as a reminder to let you know just how much I appreciate you.

Thanks, kestra! And also, thanks for the venting offer...I may take you up on that.

I'm glad your day has been brightened by Valentine's Day wishes!

Thanks for all the work you put into this, Kes. It was a fun surprise this morning. Also, thanks to the flower sender, of course!

[Kira's Mom]

Aw, got some flowers via PM. Thanks for setting this up, Kestra! Wish I'd thought of participating!

[Spot's Meow]

Thanks Kestra! It was fun helping out, seeing the positive messages people wanted to send really made me smile. It's a good start to the day.

And Kestra saying "it's okay if I don't get any." Pft. What planet are you living on girl?! I couldn't stay up until 2 AM like she did, but I made sure that any messages for her were sent this morning!

[Emher]

Big, big thanks to Kestra for doing all this. Thank you!

What is the deal with tears? You get them both when you're sad and happy?! *gets of my Seinfeld horse*

Don't feel bad. I know I forgot at least a few, and I haven't had bothersome stuff going on. Also I'm constantly amazed in the most positive of ways that people I haven't met have such a big part in my life. The true power of the internet.

Also, if needed, I offer my services at venting as well.



Now, thank you to whoever sent the anonymous message to me! It's lovely! I'm feeling halfway between really appreciative and being OCD trying to figure out who sent it No pressure though, I really do like it, I'm just a little crazy

[thestrangequark]

^Unfortunately, tears are the way I seem to express every emotion! Thanks, too.

Yeah, the anonymous ones have me guessing, too, so you're not the only one who's a little crazy.

[Emher]

I'm sorry, but I'm imagining a hilarious montage of you going trough a range of emotions, all while bawling your eyes out. That shouldn't amuse me, but it does As said, I'm a bit crazy.

[Rhubarbodendron]

I got my very first Valentine greetings ever! =) Coool!!!!
*huggles Kestra and everybody else*

The worst part is that I cry when I'm angry! I'm not a fan of the show Friends, but I do remember a scene that resonated with me hilariously in which Rachel was confronting her boss (I think) and while sobbing hysterically said something along the lines of, "Before I begin, these are not tears of sadness, or weakness, they are tears of ANGER!"
