Valentines Day

My Valentines Day involved work, running, grocery shopping, the library, nutty Neapolitan ice cream, msnbc's "lock up", and the Princess Bride. I know, I am a cool one. The only good thing that comes from this holiday is all the discounted candy I can buy tomorrow!

The only thing that irks me about Valentines Day, is the people who are determined to call this holiday "single awarness day". Just because you are not in a relationship doenst mean you should bitch about (i'm not in a relationship either, and I don't spend my day bitching/ complaining about this supposed singles awarness). Try and find something else to do, maybe next year will be your year.

I lied, there are actually two things that irk me: the lovey dovey couples who have to make a blatant show of their love and affection right in front of you, when you could personally give a lesser shit. It is not jealousy at all, just keep it in the bed room. Just because he is leaving to go to the bathroom and you will have to sit by yourself in van Pelt for 2min, doesn't mean you two need to have a 10 min make out session, just to have another one after his reutrn in three minutes.

Third thing, and I promise this is the last. I hate how on Valentine's Day they show all of the love movies about the loser girl or guy (played by an extremly hott actor or actress) who believes they won't be able to get the hott (guy or girl), but in the end they do. Umm, Hollywood if the world really worked like that self confidence issues would not exist, and there would only be single people by choice, not by looks, personality, etc. The world would be such a better place for myself and all of the single people out there.

So, I guess I ended up doing what I hate for others to do, bitch about Valentine's Day. Which is understandable considering that every time I signed on to my AOL email this week, I was asked "who will you be spending valentines day with" and then an ad for AOL singles (where I can apparently find the love of my life) popped up. And then there was the fact that it looked like Valentines Day pucked all over my aol account, filled with lots of pink, hearts, and "I love you" . Actually,maybe AOL is the reason I am somewhat bitter. Fuck you AOL!! I am going to shut down my email account.

But whatever, I am a cynical, sarcastic, look at the glass half full, 19 year old with nothing better to do on Valentines Day night, but bitch. Maybe next year things will be different (probably if pigs fly, the apocalypse comes, the mole people emerge from the center of the earth, the boogey man comes out of my closet, big foot and the yeti expose themselves to the public, the loch ness monster comes out of hiding or hell freezes over), or I will be once again sitting, on my couch, eating the candy my parents sent me, watching a love story, and bitching about something.
