Susan has a great perspective on Valentine's Day
"i fucking hate valentine's day. who the hell came up with that retarded idea anyway? hey, i've got a great idea, let's have a holiday for a guy that nobody really remembers the story of anyway just so we can make some people in the western world feel worth something because their significant other feels obligated to buy them an overpriced gift manufactured in china, where i doubt they even celebrate the stupid holiday, and the rest of the human race can feel like shit because it's been ingrained in our minds that because we don't have a significant other on this day of hell disguised as love that obviously no one really cares about us anyway. well i'm here to say "fuck you saint valentine! why the hell did you have to go off and do that really good deed that couldn't have been that great because no one remembers what the fuck you actually did?! look what you've done now! millions of people (myself included) feel like shit today because i dunno i guess you aren't here to tell us how wonderful we all are! well i'm gonna say it again! fuck you! and all you people out there with boyfriends or girlfriends, fuck you too! ya'll gotta go and get all sappy like a fuckin pine tree just because it's february 14th even though you wouldn't be caught dead any other day of the year swooning in public!" oh yes. that's hwat i have to say about valentine's day." -Susan Cameron from her live journal
