The search is over for Valentine's day

[roxybisquaint]

The man and I don't do Valentine's day. I'm just not sentimental about that kind of stuff. I don't care about flowers or heart-shaped boxes of chocolates or touching greeting cards. But I do have a schmoopy relationship story to share and this seems like a good day for it.

Early in our years of dating, we were watching videos on MTV one night when the topic of couples having "a song" came up. We didn't have one and I thought we should. There was a problem, though; we didn't know how couples go about picking a song. Is it a song that's playing on the radio the first time you kiss or something? Are there even rules for how you pick your song? The man came up with a simple solution: the next video we saw would be our song, no matter what it was.

I suppose it could've been worse. At least we ended up with a ballad. And had a good laugh.

I'd definitely stick with Survivor if the other choice was a sappy country tune :P

I am a *sucker* for tight poetry set to a simple melody. Survivor qualifies.

I wonder if Lena can deliver a tune? I'm guessing not, or we would have heard her by now.
