What is it about this lame holiday that makes jewlers, candy companies, and overly priced restaurants so much money? Well, quite frankly, I hate Valentines Day. The mere mentioning of the words send my eyes rolling back into my head. This holiday is not the celebration of all those you love, let's be honest. It's a celebration for those with lovers, and a Single Awareness Day for the rest of us. So.... Valentines day is just SAD for me. (Please note the acronym) It's become the mose awkward, self esteem killing, heart stomping holiday to endure. Flowers are just flowers, chocolate is cheap, and yet here I am desperately hoping some boy, any boy, will send me a stupid valogram so I don't feel like an idiot tomorrow. Blast... could this weekend hold any more despair? It's bad enough that it's a whole day, but no... we've got to drag it out across three days!
Not that I don't have a date! I just.... have to pay for it. The sweethearts dance, how tender... oh wait I think it's pathetic. This was going to be the one year I'd actually have someone worth spending the money on. I used to think this dance should've been a boy's choice dance until I realized it was a good thing it was for girls. Think about it, a girl doesn't get asked... S.A.D. but if she doesn't go on her own volition.... poor guys. Just saying, it's a good thing. However, after much tribulation, I asked Boy. It'll be fun I'm sure.... I just, pathetically enough, wanted a sweetheart for once! I wanted butterflies at the sight of him, not stuttering out of surprise that he's talking in person to me. I wanted flowers from him, not from my loving father. (Though I still love them of course, thank you dad) But alas.... yet another stupid valentines day comes and goes. Congrats to those who have a man.
Six word: Yes I'm pathetic, what of it?
