So, remember when Valentine's Day was cool? Like in the 3rd grade. You bought a box of Spider Man valentines, thought about sending a special one to the pretty girl sitting four desk away from you, decided against it, and then spent the last hour of school consuming massive amounts of candy, cake, and sugar water. Ah, those were the days. And then by Junior High that all get ruined with the intoduction of "the carnation." Pink if its for a friend, and red if... its someone thats more than a friend. You wait around all day wondering if you have a secret admirer. Then 2 o'clock rolls around and the carnation girl calls your name...its a red one... and it turns out to be your buddies' joke about the girl you dated at band camp.
Anyway, for anyone that's interested, this Valentine's Day I'm currently living the dream, (well short of going out and making out with a stranger) I'm spending the evening doing nothing. Nothing. Well...besides comsuming a lot of sugar... ah who am I kidding... consume a lot of wine. Hey, I did have a Valentine's Day cookie. Whatever, I'm so living the dream.

Oh I can top that. I spent Valentines in an airport, trying to get out of D.C., only to find out that my flight was cancelled five minutes before I was to board. Fucking snow. So, I spent the evening alone, in a hotel, and slightly drunk.
now let's be honest, in the past, oh i don't know, ten years, have you had a really really great valentine's day? not really. i mean sure, we tried those first couple of years, but what's the point? i ordered takeout, helped a first year with a shetler song, and watched the first twenty minutes of raging bull. romance at it's finest.
seems like when im with someone on valentines day you are cynical about then when your are alone you take a moment to realize how it sucks
i spent this Vday in San Francisco and went to an annual mass pillow fat where kids get their love aggressions out - i totally ran close to the middle...and then i remembered that im hyperallergic to feathers!!!! hack hack fuggin luv fought back
