99 Red Balloons

Last night at 1:30 in the morning I realized that I needed about a hundred red heart-shaped balloons ASAP. I called a couple places and of course nothing was open and I was not able to order my balloons. This is why I love the USA, because only in the USA could you actually order 100 heart-shaped balloons at 1:30 in the morning, Valentine's Day or not.

However, once I did speak with a balloon vendor this morning, the owner of the store offered to personally deliver all of the balloons to me, free of charge. This is why I love the UK, because people here are just so damn nice.

The balloons were for a Valentine's Party that my college was organizing. Unfortunately, when you have a bunch of people organizing a party, everybody thinks that someone else is taking care of stuff... like the balloons.
