back before the fall

today my friend asked me what special thing was happening on the 11th feb.
i guessed lots of things (first thing being her birthday because i didn't want her to think i forgot but it wasn't. um not very good at remembering birthdays)
Then i guessed Valentine's day.
my friend gave me a strange look and said it was on the 14th feb.
oh dear.
you see, this is what comes of
1) Being in a girls school
2) Having no other half

you forget the most cliched and Hollywood over dramatised day of the year.
(just in case you were wondering, on the 11th feb Broadway is showing the 10 000th Phantom of the Opera performance or something like that. which is pretty earth shaking on its own.)
