She should be more grateful!

Here's a quick story and I'm not sure how I made the connection, but stick with me. A number of years ago when I was headed home from CollegeTown for the weekend, I stopped and adopted a kitten for my mother. I took that cat home and my mother, who was never a cat person, suddenly became a crazy cat lady.

Where am I going with this? Well, I went home last weekend and returned on Valentine's Day. My roommates were talking about Valentines and how none of us have one this year. While they both indicated it was the first time in like 10 years they haven't had Valentines, I told them I've never had one. (It's true, the only 2 times I even came close, the guys were complete dicks on my birthdays (b-day #18 & #25) and since my birthday is so close to Valentines day, I wasn't exactly feeling lovable). Anyway, my roommates made that sighing noise and said "Awwwww, that's actually kind of sad." (Fret not, I didn't experience one drop of emo this year, thank goodness).

So how are the cat and never having a Valentine connected? Because I have video proof that if I never find a guy to love me, I won't cut it as a crazy cat lady either (and yes, that's my voice):
