Valentines day celebrations? = YES PLEASE! = I will be bringing cookies and I strongly encourage people to join me in bringing other things! We can make a list of stuff on the wiki that people plan on bringing (cups, napkins, drinks, etc...) so that we cover all the necessary areas.

If you have any allergies can you please let me know? I will try my best to accommodate/not be the reason for anyone's untimely demise.

__**Allergies**__ -XD I just looked at this page. Its a bit late, but yeah, I'm allergic to food dye, (artificial coloring, ya know that stuff, food dye, is another word.) Not just like minor allergic either, I go into anaphylactic shock (i.e. my throat closes up.) Don't worry though. It's only if I eat it, so I'm just left out from eating all of your delicious treats.
 * ( but whatever, it happens enough so I'm used to it and don't really care any more. - Will (Yeah... sometimes it sucks to be me XD and I know how awesome M&M's are... I used to not be allergic o_O)
