this is an awful day. the flower and teddy bear companies are the only ones who actually like this day. so you've abused your lover for a year and all is forgiven on this day if you buy them something nice. affection shouldnt be expressed soley on a single day. thats not how relationships work (like i'm one to say how they DO work but thats another story). i only know what doesnt work and this day is fucked up and reinforces bad practices. want to do something special? then think of something more creative than giving someone flowers on the same day that everyone does.
besides the ritualistic nature of the day i despise how it makes single people like myself feel left out. nobody likes to feel left out and damnit i'm no exception. there is this singles auction on campus today but i'm looking for some of age bitches if ya know what i mean. plus i dont have the $$ to spend. or the time to actually go out on a date. arg theres alot of problems here that i'm slowly realizing. oh well, everything has a time and a place. i guess i should just consider myself lucky this year to not have to buy some flowers at an inflated price. hopefully i wont be so lucky next year.
