Just a quick message to say hello!
The updated February Store Code open to all tiers this month for Valentine's Day! is: ROSEAGRAM
Back in high school, on Valentine's Day, there was a fundraiser the student council organized called Rose-A-Grams. Essentially, you would pay 10 bucks, and you could send a rose to anyone in the school with a special note.
These Rose-a-Grams would then be hand delivered to the recipient during one of their classes.
I think the student council used the money they raised to hire a DJ for the Valentine's Day Dance. So this was also a kind of quirky opportunity to ask someone to the dance if you wanted to.
There was a girl I had a crush on in my Science class but I was way too shy to say anything to her. So, like any bleeding heart romantic, I decided to send her Rose-A-Gram.
It wasn't a crazy poem or anything. It said...
"I think you're cool so here's a rose. Signed, Eric from your science class"
Now in hindsight, this was probably not that clear a message. And the tone was perhaps too subtle to really represent how I felt about her. Or that I wanted to ask her to the dance.
I saw her two days later when we had science class again. She walked up to me and said "Hey Eric."
"Hi." I replied.
Then she went over to sit down at her lab table at the other side of the classroom.
There was no mention of the Rose-a-Gram or anything.
We didn't really speak that much and had different circles of friends. So there was no way to get any intel on what happened.
Fast forward a few years, we were now in the senior class and were at our Graduation and Convocation.
I thought, I should say something to her. But then decided not to and instead moved thousands of miles away to study in Montreal.
The End.
Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone!
