Happy Valentine's Day, for those who celebrate. May this day bring you happiness.
I've never been one for this day personally, but I think that's just me. It kills me how everybody tries to get me into the spirit, though. That's probably my favorite part of holidays like this. Even though I don't feel particularly biased either way, the people who do just freak out. *laughs*
Though the one thing for which I do look forward to Valentine's Day is that every year, Walter always does something sweet for me. Last year I think it was a box of chocolate cigars and a card that I keep in the top drawer of my desk. It's one of the only days of the year that he and I get to spend together. Granted, we're rarely alone, but it's enough to be in his presence all day. He truly does mean the world to me. It's a shame that there is no 'butler appreciation day', is't it?
Seras gave me a teddy bear last year..*grins* And I think she got me a pair of red silk pajamas (that were surprisingly comfortable. There's something to be said about silk pants). This year, though, I think Captian Bernadette may abscond with my Police Girl. *laughs* Though I won't complain as long as they're happy.
They remind me too much of Alucard and myself sometimes. *laughs* Except with him it's "Give me a kiss!" and not "Drink my blood!" *snickers*
As for Alucard, he always finds some grand gesture. *laughs* My first Valentine's Day with him, he showed me his Hellhound form (which was a pretty major thing to show a 12-year-old) and played catch with me all day. It was things like that when I was a child. Hellound tricks, new abilities with his shadows, crowns made of flowers...but as I got older, his gifts became more mature and romantic. More like what you would expect from a vampire that is, more or less, the epitome of chivalry. Last year it was a dozen red roses with a bright white rose in the middle.
Too bad the card just said "Drink my blood". -.-;;
He's chivalrous and romantic, yes. His efforts sometimes catch me off guard and make me blush, yes. But beneath all that, he's still Alucard. *laughs* I should expect things like that, shouldn't I? You'd think after 10 years, I'd learn.
I know I complain a lot about my job and my life, but at the end of the day, there's nowhere else I'd rather be. The people here love me as much as I love them (even if we do have odd ways of showing it), I work for a wonderful country, I protect the Queen and dispose of nonsense ghouls and vampires. I like it here. It's stressful, but it's in my blood. I can't see doing anything else.
Hah..who would have guessed that I would be in the Valentine's Day spirit by the end of this post afterall?
