I've never really liked Valentines day. The day most single ladies and gents out there would rather forget and hunker down with a good horror movie than see all the lovey dovey couples flaunting themselves out in the more often than not, bright sunshine.
I could blame it on the minor detail that i've never had a significant other to share the experience with, except once, four years ago. (and i'm definately not saying that was a bad time) But four years on and four Valentines days to watch progressively more gorey horros or my friends getting roses and chocolates and doted apon, perhaps all my tolerance has run out and maybe I am a little jealous. Maybe.
Honestly though, I don't think it has anything to do with my lack of love but the pressure that's put on the day to be the most romantic. I think romantic would be doing somemthing special the day after or day before if you're greedy. Celebrate everyday rather than have all the pressure on that poor Febuary 14th to shower your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/mistress/gardener with what you feel.
Do people really need the day to remind them that they actually love someone and should probably show them?
Which reminds me -does anyone have a place free for me to watch a DVD? My parents have kicked me out of the house for sunday...
