Being too uncool for school
Dare i say it?
I like Valentine's day! No. I LOVE Valentine's Day!!!
I love the way the entire commercial world tries to cater for 'romantic' dates. I love the way flowers are everywhere. I love the fact that the Subi market Flower shop is open for this day only! I like watching boys struggling with big bouquets on the street.
I like asking and nudging my single friends whether they've got dates or not, and what they've got planned.
This is a day of celebration, and i love it!
I don't care about commercialism. I don't care that companies are trying to cash in. I celebrate Christmas even though companies try to cash in, don't i? I got married in a hotel and they cashed in on me, didn't they? I send my mummy cards and flowers on Mothers' day, don't i? You don't see me telling my mother 'i'll buy you flowers after Mothers' day because it's too expensive on the day itself'. I don't see any moral incongruity by allowing the economy to benefit from this wonderful day.
It's fun! I get to dress up and i get to make Pman organise something special! And it'll be a surprise! Hurray!!
Some people say that 'everyday is Valentine's day in my house'. What bollocks. Would you eat and drink yourself silly and then attempt to have drunken sex everyday? HA HA HA! I certainly would not be writing romantic cards to my husband everyday nor expect him to spend frivolous amounts of cash on me. Nope. This is the exception, not the rule. In addition, having the entire commercial world demand that men put in the effort gives my husband (who, face it, is an engineer) something to aim for. He doesn't need to wrack his brains about when he needs to organise something special. The world tells him that TODAY IS THE DAY YOU DO IT. Birthdays, wedding anniversaries and Christmas are all targets that all men can hit. Win, win, win, win.
Ok, now to pretty myself up....
