5 + 11 = 16

[flexagon]

Due to about three things going wrong I was only at work for 5 hours yesterday, so today I tried to pull 10 and ended up pulling 11 (since the evening plans I had with my friends unravelled). Welllll... nice to be back to my expected hours for the week, I guess. :b

Though it's dorky, I truly like the V-day poem I stole from rattie's post... it's touching for some reason. Partly, I'm sure, because it scans so well.

roses are red
violets are blue
all my base
are belong to you.

Though I do like it better with the words than in the original form (Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF...), I sent the original to my husband. Geek love. It made me wonder though... what, if anything, is the original roses are red, violets are blue poem? Did it start somewhere? Why don't I know this already? And while we're on this topic, do you have a favorite? Please share. :)

We stayed in and made fondue, like we do every year, and we turned up the heat so I could safely wear the 'shirt' I bought at Wet Seal for the occasion. Not having to conform to public standards of decency is a very good reason to keep a date inside, every now and then. :) Actually, it would be decent enough at the beach. I really can't think where else though.

once I read it the first time, 'Roses are #FF0000' and 'Roses are red' read the exact same.

That 'shirt' is beautiful. You must have looked fantastic in it.

Aww, thank you hiddenbear. *melts*

I couldn't really see myself, but HLM liked it. :)

Am I a whore for thinking that shirt isn't that bad? It's not appropriate for winter, but I could totally see someone out and about in that in the summer.

[flexagon]

Yes. ;) Though it actually looks a lot less skanky on the website than it does in real life... it's kind of hard to tell it's backless, or just how see-through it is.

I'll revise my opinion to include clubbing though. You could wear it clubbing.

I can tell it's see through, though it looks like the boob area is opaque? And I wear backless shirts in the summer all the time. Love em!

Skanky is as skanky does I say. :)

I wish I could wear clothes like that! I just ordered some tops for summer and they were all too bare.... they were only tank tops! I must cover my flabby potato-whippin' arms!!!!
