I'm not much in to the hype of Valentines Day. I demonstrate love on much more than an annual basis. Why pay for a tired set price menu when you can do a much better job of the occasion at home? Simple origami can feature in the event too.
In fact for me the simple origami thought has sparked a better than average chance of making an effect on 14th February. You see i really enjoy following diagrams and getting my edges folded neatly. Aside from being a reasonable cook - opinion modification! Folding some decorations would be a nice project. Of course the boundaries have to be set in advance. I can't cover every inch of the place in paper after all who needs a Valentines Day fire brigade call out? It would be an embarrassing thing to admit at interview:
Officer: "Well Chris, any ideas on how the blaze started?"
Chris: " Yes, actually i have"
Officer: "You'd better let us know for the report"
Chris: "OK, this is it................ I decided to dress the flat up with simple origami decorations to suprise my girl friend. You see after three years of no Valentines celebration at all i thought it would a nice suprise for Monica to come home to. Lots of pretty lanterns and simple origami butterflies hanging from the ceiling. That kind of thing"
Officer: "So you were using inflammable substances for decoration?"
Chris: "Paper burns, if that's what you mean"
Officer: "This is going in the report, be careful with your tone. So you wanted to impress your girl friend with this display of simple origami on Valentines Day?"
Chris:" Yup"
Officer:"oh dear! Maybe next time you should consider eating out!"
Interview terminates, Officer grinning ear to ear, Chris is absolute crimson, ears burning.
So i have reached the conclusion that in order to raise the necessary tempo of the evening i should rationalize my preparations and make sure that the flammable substances described above should not be near the candles. So you might say that it's going to be a fire aware simple origami Valentines Day celebration. With candles but not too many. This is a shame as Monica really likes candles.
But i do have one piece of table side origami, after the meal kind of trick which i think i ought to share with you. Check out the video and learn this sequence to impress your date!
