St. Valentines Day
So I never seem to be happy around February 14. I never have anyone to share it with and I feel a) alone and depressed; and b) sick to my stomach with all of the face sucking that seems to be going on on said day.
I openly admit that I'm bitter about not being with someone, and it makes me sick with myself. I hate feeling like shit. I normally don't. I'm normally fine with not being with a person. But it's days like this when you really wanna rip the heart out of some people. Does that make me a terrible person? I hope to God not. But do we need to have a day that openly ostrasizes those of us that are single (by choice or otherwise) for the sole purpose of a huge multimillion dollar corperation's greed and need for money? Jesus Christ. Do we need to set aside a day in our society to allow people to indulge themselves in chocolate and have it be "OK?" Because really, if that's the case every goddamn day is Valentines day for me, the camp fat kid. Do we need a set day where people give out candy lollipops and "sweetheart candies," or is this just an excuse to eat sweets and get knocked up because you're "in love" and "it's Valentines Day so that makes it even more romantic"? I hope to God every single one of you reading this said "no, we don't"
My mother and father have succumb to the Hallmark-created "holiday" and are going out tomorrow night. How fun. I'll be at home with a microwave pizza and Saw II. Don't hesitate to call; that is unless you're out with your hubby too, because then I'll understand.
I apologize that this was such an emo down-the-road-not-across-the-street blog for those of you that read it in the first place.
