"i know from today march is just 2 weeks away you shrug and you say,valentine's is just another day"
i miss the kids' stuff. seriously. i mean, back in second grade, valentine's day was such a big deal. you would have a big party and a bag that you decorated stuffed with 20 corporated cards because it was the rule that everybody had to give everyone a card. and that way, nobody felt left out, even if you got the one that said "you're toad-ally cool" instead of "you're hot stuff, valentine". i remember that i got looney tunes one year and josh frederick made a big deal out of the fact that my card to him had "love" on it or something. i mean, i never really got into valentine's day, but i never hated it either. i miss the big hooplah over it. it's like nobody cares anymore... or at least, very few people do. i mean, what happened to stupid cupid? i love stuff like that. it seems like all the fun traditions are going away, and that makes me sad. and i'm sick of the people that say that valentine's day sucks and that it's a made up holiday... and yeah, originally, it was just for the cards, but i really think that it's a day where you have an excuse to express love without feeling like a total goober about it. and the only people that really bitch about it are those who don't have someone to celebrate it with. and that's sad, too. i mean, yeah, i'm single, but i'm not hating february 14th because i see more couply action... if anything, it makes me smile to see people acting so goofy about each other. i'm missing the valentine's day party in childcare on thursday because it's my day for the friendship school... i really don't get why we didn't have it on valentine's day, but i'm through with trying to figure out mrs. rupert's reasoning. seriously, though, i want to get back to the kid stuff. not all of it. i could do without cooties and asking my parents to tote me around everywhere, but i am sick of papers and applications and all the shit that goes along with getting older. i miss making chalk drawings in my driveway and making storybooks out of yarn and crayons. i miss having parties in class before every vacation... now, it's just cramming all the tests in on the last day before getting loaded up with work to do over break. i miss being a little kid... and i know that when i'm like 30 i'm going to look back at high school and wish that my life was this easy again. we really never do appreciate what we have until it's gone. i think that once the weather gets reasonably warm, i'm going to head to the playground with my bubble wand and just swing. it's nice to have something to look forward to. love you all!
