So February is now here...
With the coming of this month, it looks like I'll get to look forward to retarded displays of affection in about half a month and all the talk leading up to it. I've never been a fan of the holiday (nor White Day in the following month, for that matter). ...Not even back when me and the woman were dating. So no, she's not the reason why. ...For the most part. Though she always seems to love all that nonsense, honorary child of Aphrodite that she is, so I always ended up indulging her despite my grievances with the day. Whatever made her happy, I guess was the frame of mind. ...Seems like a stupid choice on my part in hindsight. I never enjoyed any of the things she wanted to do to celebrate the day. She herself was the only reason I put up with it. .....Well, okay, there was one thing about that day that she wanted to do that I liked and looked forward to~ But I liked that anytime she was eager to do that~
Call me a heartless bastard that doesn't understand how to express emotions that aren't spite, loathing, perversion, and amusement over others' misfortunes for it, I don't care. Wouldn't be the first time I've been told that. Though it's actually the opposite. I don't like the day because it's incredibly glamorized and superficial. There shouldn't be a specific day when you need to show your loved ones how much you care about them. You should be doing that regularly...everyday, even. Valentine's Day is nothing but a huge commercial ploy to get people to spend lots of money on those they care about, otherwise you apparently don't love those people enough, and I hate that others keep indulging this shit in the supposed name of love. ...So I don't like the day. Never have and likely never will if even someone I love who likes it can't make me appreciate it also. ...But, you know, do whatever makes you happy...or something, if that's what does it for you. I'm already sure the Aphrodite cabin has something planned either way, so it's not like what I say is going to matter to anyone at all. Felt the need to vent, though.
Though, on an interesting note, I found out the other day that Chouta's birthday is apparently on Valentine's Day. Which is...rather adorable, and feels somewhat fitting considering it's Chouta~ Though since he seems to not be fond of the fact that it falls on that date, I refrained from pointing that out to him. Can't exactly fault him for that. I imagine it must be annoying as hell having everyone gush over the fact that he was born on the superficial day of love. ...Still, I kinda wanna do something for him for his birthday. I'm pretty sure he'll be staying here for it, so it'll probably be the first time he's been unable to celebrate it with his folks. Something that I know I didn't enjoy either when I first experienced it. So I wanna give him something that'll make him happy despite his situation. What the fuck I'm gonna do about it, I have no clue.
