Happy 'One Year Anniversary Since Ellen Page Came Out' Day!

Forget Valentine's Day; there's a much more important celebration to be had this February 14th. That's right, one year ago today Ellen Page came out via a heartwarming, deeply emotional speech at HRC's Time to Thrive conference, and our lives changed for the better. Ellen has since continued to be a stellar role model, and we treasure every moment of her unique and wonderful honesty, be it as a person or as one of the most talented actresses around. And so, in honor of First National Ellen Page Day (and especially for those of you who would rather Valentine's Day not be a thing), here are 10 ways you can celebrate Ellen Page's glorious existence!

10. Start the day by chugging some Sunny D straight from the jug. Walking through your quaint, hipster neighborhood while doing so is optional. Being pregnant is even more optional. 

9. Now that you're hydrated and ready to go, rewatch Ellen's HRC speech, because it's a very special 8 minutes that will give you hope and get your First National Ellen Page Day off to a great start!

8. No National Ellen Page Day is complete without a little rowdy physical activity! Find your local roller derby team and try your hand at training with them! See, unlike Valentine's Day, National Ellen Page Day encourages exercise, and thus is clearly the superior day.

7. After that aggressive roller derby experience, you'll need to go home and shower off. But first, on the way home, see how many people's dogs you can rename! (disclaimer: this is only one example of an estimate 30,000, so there is basically no limit to how many dogs you should be trying to name).

6. Put aside a few hours to play the video game Ellen stars in, Beyond: Two Souls. Even if the world of video games is utterly beyond you, try as hard as you can because look how cool Ellen Page looks in motion capture gear:

5. Oh no! You now have to take a break from video gaming because you suddenly have to solve an emergency mystery with one of your best friends/detective buddies! (Note: It is acceptable to use a friend who is not related to the Mara family, but bonus points if they are).

4. Congrats! You solved the mystery! Now you get to celebrate by grabbing as many of your friends as you can and making a Sleater-Kinney music video, much like Ellen was a part of here! (Note: a bonus Evan Rachel Wood appearence is always a plus too!)
