so it's v.d. yet again and i am quite alone yet again. you know in the 26 years of my existence i've only had a valentine once. it was terrible too. i might as well tell the story cause i have some time to burn. so i dated this girl for some time and we broke up. starting seeing each other around my birthday which is in december. she then asks to be my valentine. see there was this contest on this site i was part of called broken human and you could win a date with ill diagnosis (that was my gay ass handle). well, she asked me and i chose her over everyone else. i had the most amazing night planned. van gogh exibit tickets, followed by dinner at La Terasse and then my boy opened up the movie theater so it was just her and i to watch any movie we wanted. i showed up with a dozen roses and a 3 foot red teddy bear. she wasn't ready so i waited while she did math homework. well the math homework took some time so we missed the Van Gogh exibit ( - $60). she is getting ready and happens to get into a huge fight with her roomate. now we are on our way to La Tarasse a 4 star french resturante in the ritzy part of west philly by u penn. she doesn't say maybe 5 words or more to me. we sit down and order our food. while we are waiting she recieves a phone call (now why the fuck she took the call on this day at this place is beside me). it's her roomate and well round two of the fight begins. now she isn't hungry and we just ordered food. the food comes out and i feel guilty eating infront of her so i ask for it to go (-$120 ). we are driving to the movie theater and she doesn't say a word. now i'm starting to get upset a bit. we get there and she picks a movie with usher in it. i fucking hate usher, i also hate teenage girl movies. but if it would make her happy i was like cool. so my boy reeled it up and it was just us in the entire theater. she loosed up a bit and i even saw a smile. i was now happy. so we go back to her place which is drexel's dorms to chill out. now i know what you thinking, but i didn't expect to "get any", in fact i just wanted to hold her (as gay as that sounds) because i was really in love with this girl. so we get to her room and she starts doing math homework again. i asked her when she got the homework, she said two weeks ago. now, if you knew you had a date like this for valentines wouldn't you have done the homework before hand. also i want to remind you that she asked me out. i didn't ask her. it's this point where i broke. not for doing the homework but rather when she asked me to hand her the pencil by saying, "can you hand me that pencil josh". WHAT! who the fuck is josh. my name is john. i snapped. so here's what valentines day means to me to sum it all up. 12 cream tipped roses ( $80), 3 foot red teddy bear ( $40), 2 tix to see the Van Gogh exibit ( $60), dinner at La Terasse ( $120). being called someone elses name on valentines day ...priceless. Fuck Valentines Day!
