Determined not to let this V-day be 'just another day at the office', the foolish young ed sets off to rid the office of tedium and drudgery. And besides, word had somehow gotten around that something was going to happen, and who was I to disappoint the ladies?

Did I say 'ladies'? Make that 'ladies and one suspiciously happy guy':

Rewind to a less traumatic time. Here's what happened behind the scenes. Guys, if you've never had makeup applied to you before, I highly recommend getting someone getting an attractive and experienced stylist. Such as JC. It's quite likely one of the few times she'll voluntarily place her hands on your face.

The satisfied smile on her face says it all =D. And now, I present to you the best and the worst of MCIS V-day. It's a tough call, but someone has to make it. And it doesn't help that the photographer was apparently very excited, leading to many unfocused shots. And I'm pretty sure he missed some hugs. Either that, or those shots went into his private archive *insert eerie music*...

The Bottom 3 (not including the 'suspiciously happy guy')

Don't let the big grin fool you. One hug later, I was in the toilet, and the woman touched my shaved head with her gloved hand. I can only have nightmares of where her glove has been. Ugh.

In all honesty, this wasn't all that bad. Pity her other half wasn't in the office. So she has to stand in for Crush-men-with-her-thighs.

Now this was uncomfortable. And not just because I couldn't quite get my arms around her. Seriously, someone should tell her to change her brand of aftershave. In all fairness, she probably wasn't very comfortable either. After all, this was the person who went, 'What are you going to do to me?!' when I opened my arms to hug her.

The Top 3

This is one hug I won't forget for a long time to come. Not so much because she gave me a really nice, warm hug, but because she asked, 'Do I get a kiss as well?' and my brain exploded. My one chance to do an Adrian Brody on Halle Berry and my brain decides to shut down. Ah well. Let's move on...

How can I leave out my favorite (and only) stylist? Got a nice big hug from her too.

And of course, the sole surviving member of the GFPT. See what you're missing, ex-GFPTs?

And at the end of the day, I can sit back in my cube, look around, and see the smiling faces of all the people I've hugged. It makes it all worth it =D
