Though it wasn't a massive thing, it sure felt like it was. Thanks so much for coming guys, I ♥ all of youse!

Girl after girl after girl I walked past today had flowers clutched against their chest, all dressed in fancy cocktail dresses and trying to ignore the fact that every other girl had the same thing going on for them.

I'm so glad I didn't end up clicking 'Confirm purchase' on that online florist last night, which would have confirmed the delivery of a ridiculously priced bouquet of not-so-popular-and-therefore-cheaper-than-roses assortment of flowers to a certain house in Creswick. Or get flowers as a matter of fact.

I settled on a years worth of gaming magazine subscription as a valentines gift for Matt. They were even $10 cheaper than the flowers.

Sure, the long time cliche of giving flowers is 10 times more romantic than gaming magazines subscription and it definitely feels good to receive them, but who can resist something that's actually useful and can be sustained for more than a week?

I am now proceeding to gloat in my wise decision.

I'm sure some (or none perhaps) of you have heard through the grapevine that I somehow managed to injure foot on the way back home last week.

Apparantly its more serious than I thought so I had to get a boot thing for my foot. My grand dad loaned me his walking stick to hobble around with and it works fine, though I had imagined myself with a more elegant cane, such as one with an antler handle. Though, it probably wouldn't be the best of ideas.

Anyways, a foot in a brace = the opportunity to use crutches. I've never used crutches before and what better chance to use them now? I'm not intending hurting my foot/leg any more than it is now. I happened upon this pretty slick pair of wooden crutches for 13 dollars at Savers, and I have to say... crutches aren't as fun as I thought.

But oh well, the crutches/boot adds some level of 'cool' to my whole look. When people stare at my boot and my newly aquired disability (avec-crutches and boot), I like to imagine they think I broke my foot in a vigourous sporting event such as snowboarding.
