No Nerve, Never

Crapentine's Day

I hate Valentine's Day.
I've hated it ever since I can remember, and I don't think falling in love has ever changed that fact.

I resent that this one day has been used to sell us stuff, that if we don't partake in the festivities then maybe we don't really love our friends/families/lovers.
I hate commercially pushy holidays, and I think this one takes the cake (some people still believe in the true meaning of Christmas, right?).

That said, I am planning a dinner for two. So maybe I'm a hypocrite.
I've tried to convince myself that I'm doing it because it's an excuse to us get out of work/school early and spend some alone time.

But really, I think I may have just succumbed to the hype.
I mean, I am in love, so I guess this is a day for those of us who were formerly funny, tough people, and through the magic of someone else have become sappy, co-dependent wimps.

Hooray.
