"I don't think you realize tomorrow is saturday..."

My ultra twin Caron and I had been looking forward for Valentine's day for quite a while.

We were not disappointed - I think I can safely say this was the best Valentines day ever!

A card I made for my mother.

The inside of a card.
My take on LOLCats, with Rudi.

Caron's present from Rudi - a demolished Valentine cookie.

Caron's valentine from Jack Barakat.

The valentine I made for Caron.

A valentine love face.

"It's just a coffee mug of grease."

It's actually filled with conversation hearts.

I bought the mug for that quote though.

Adalaide, for the unicorn lover.

Long before Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist came out (six years to be exact) I was the master of playlists.

I still am.

Now for your valentine present I have made the ultimate (when I say ultimate I mean ultimate, like 51 songs worth) Valentine playlist.

Getting Into You - Relient K

A really sweet love song.

Winter Song - Sara Barielles and Ingrid Michaelson

For my mother.

We Are Birds - Brighten

My favorite song of the moment.

Thirteen - Ben Kweller

The master of love songs.

Your Song - Elton John

I only have one word for you - ELTON

Birds - Kate Nash

Kate Nash is my musical soulmate. I love this story about a boy trying to tell a girl he likes her - in metaphor of birds.

All I Want Is You - Barry Lou Polisar

Well I'm on a role of metaphorical songs. Seriously though, where was this song when I was learning about metaphors in high school??

I'm Sticking With You - The Velvet Underground

This reminds me of a vintage Disney movie (The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, anybody?) for some reason.

I love it!

Sea of Love - Cat Power

I'm sorry I'm pretty much posting the Juno soundtrack.

I promise I have other songs.

Lover I Don't Have To Love - Bright Eyes

Because I didn't want to pick "First Day of My Life."

Also, who doesn't want a lover they don't have to love??

Love the One Your With - Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young

One of my favorite songs of all time.

If you see my singing really loud in my car - I'm probably singing this song.

Rosé - the Feeling

The Feeling are one of my favorite bands I've just discovered.

This is truly fruly a beautiful song.

The Rose Captain - Sea Wolf

For the best boyfriend ever - Sarah Anna Cera.

Cupid - Amy Winehouse

I love Amy Winehouse - no matter how crazy she gets.

Clark Gable - the Postal Service

I love Ben Gibbard, I love Jenny Lewis, and I love Clark Gable.

I don't think there could be a more perfect song.

Trying My Best to Love You - Jenny Lewis

I told you I loved Jenny Lewis.

Also, remember that love is never easy.

But if you lose the perfect match - just grab a boom box, jaunt down to their house, hold said boom box outside and play this song, wake the whole street and profess your love.

They'll probably take you back, I would.

Brandy Alexander - Feist

If I told you I was obsessed with the song - well, that's just not doing my feelings justice.

I really want a Brandy Alexander, whoever he may be.

Something - the Beatles

Because I can't not use the Beatles, duh.

That's a crime.

Love Today - Mika

Really, everybody should love.

I bet if everyone woke up to this song every morning, everybody would love.

The Girl - City and Colour

If ever I marry a musician (I probably will, it's in my prophecy) they better write me a song much like this.

Honey and the Moon - Joseph Arthur

Who doesn't want to be someone's honey and moon?

Elephants As Big As Whales - PlayRadioPlay!

I'm just going to throw this out there - best love song ever. Ever.

I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

hah.

Inches and Falling - the Format

"I love love, I love being in love"

Young Folks - Peter, Bjorn, and John

It's the truth - when you are in love you really don't care what other people think.

Lolita - Throw Me the Statue

I think Throw Me the Statue sounds more as if they should be like a deathcore band. Regardless - this is a fun song.

Anyone Else But You - the Moldy Peaches

I'm sorry, but how could I not put this on a love playlist?

Everything I Once Had - the Honorary Title

For those who prefer to celebrate Singles Awareness Day.

1000 Times A Day - the Early November

I love this story in song.

I really want to know if it's based of actual events.

Bruised - Jack's Mannequin

Andrew McMahon is my high school hero.

This Old Machine - Coconut Records

Jason Swartzman? Zooey Deschanel??

I don't think it gets better than this...

Just Like We Do - Eisley

Perfect on rainy Sundays.

Penelope - Pinback

I just wanted to use Pinback.

Boats and Birds - Gregory and the Hawk

Just a really beautiful song.

Tranatlanticism - Death Cab For Cutie

I need you so much closer.

With Arms Outstretched - Rilo Kiley

Did I mention I love Jenny Lewis?

The girl tells it like it is.

If you don't get anything out of this song, you at least get a great sing a long.

Shiska (Girlfriend) - Say Anything

I remember when I first got a boyfriend.

I was singing something similar to this song.

I'll Be There - Jackson 5

When Michael was a little precious.

5 Years Time - Noah and the Whale

Because I know how it is to imagine being with someone, that you are actually not with.

I Think I Love You - the Partridge Family

I think I love you too David Cassidy, I think I love you too.

My Beautiful Rescue - This Providence

Because love does want to make people dance on top of buildings.

Because love does make people want to shout at the top of their lungs.

Boy In a Rock N Roll Band - the Pierces

Actually, I swore I would marry a boy in a rock n roll band.

I Wanna Love You (Akon Cover) - the Maine

If anyone could make a song about strippers, or an Akon song for that matter, romantic, the Maine could.

This is probably the best cover I have ever heard.

Completely different song.

Sore - Anuual

The sweetest song.

To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens

I love saying Sufjan.

Little Bit - Lykke Li

This is my song for someone I'd rather not mention.

Lady - Styxx

That's all.

The Honey In Your Tea - Alcholiday

This is a local band I love.

"If you fall, I will bandaged your scraped knees. I'll forever be the honey in your tea."

Konstantine - Something Corporate.

I'm sorry. I lied. This is the best love song ever.

Actually it's one of the best songs ever.

Period.

A headband I made for the occasion.

I'm sorry I suck at taking photographs and have no photo's from the night.

This is where I surprised Caron with dinner. The Sugar Bowl is the cutest ice cream parlor, located in old town Scottsdale. They serve a million different varieties of ice cream and delicious sandwiches (including tea sandwiches!) I had the most delectable veggie sandwich and for dessert Caron and I shared the brownie buster sunday - the most delicious french vanilla ice cream you will ever taste in your life, a brownie, and of course rainbow sprinkles.

After dinner Caron and I made our way to the Cine-Capri theatre. We saw Confessions of a Shopaholic, which I'm afraid to say was no good. But it was worth it to finally get to the Cine-Capri.

Yesterday I participated in my Day After Valentine's Day tradition. My sister, Hannah and I, trekked to Walgreens and spent a chunk of change on extremely marked down Valentine's candy and an Arizona Peach Tea to wash it all down.
