Happy Anti-Valentines Day

Okay so I’m not bitter.  Promise.  Actually I am very much in love right now.  But that doesn’t mean I have to like Valentines Day.  I think it is a shallow holiday meant to drive men crazy and piss women off.  When you are little it’s all fun, you get to go to school pass out your cards (to everyone) because that is the nice thing to do.  Then as you get older you only give them to your “friends” and it starts to become more of a popularity contest.  Then comes jr. high  and usually some committee puts together a flower sale and people send flowers to each other, making it even more of a popularity contest.  Then we have the ever popular secret admirer pages of the school newspaper where people write lame poems in some version of roses are red violets are blue.  After high school it becomes much more laughable and way less of a popularity contest.  For people who are together it is another day to remember, another gift to buy, and I swear I am the only chic out there who hates getting stuff for valentines day.  The flowers will die and does my ass seriously look like it needs a box of chocolates…I think not.  For those lucky ones who are single it’s like the whole world laughs in their faces.  So all in all I think it’s stupid.  Single or not I just don’t like it.
