Hello, is it me you're looking for?* No. Awkward. Perhaps you're looking for an early Valentine's Day cupcake then?

Now, if you've known me for a while, you're probably wondering why all the normality? These are very proper cupcakes! How nice, you may think, River has finally grown up and left her silly shenanigans behind.
LOLNOPE FOOL!
Sorry, I didn't mean to call you a fool or yell at you with complete disregard for basic grammar. I got caught in the moment and the trash-talk just sort of happened.

Oh no. What's going on in the background there? Is somebody feeling grumpy?

Don't mind if I do, buddy. Don't mind if I do.
Not everybody is going to be happy this Valentine's Day. If you're one of this year's Valentine's Day boycotters, you may be better off baking some anti-romance cupcakes than going around kicking happy people in the groin all day.

If these are not silly enough for you, check out the trusty old Strawberry Love Bugs of yore! Many thanks to everyone who has ever linked to the original recipe here on my blog. And to those of you who decided to make them and claim them as your own original idea - I am giving you the stinkeye for being such a Lamey McLamerson.

That's all folks! Now somebody call 911 because I am off to murder a chocolate cupcake in cold blood - or in cold buttercream!
