It's that time of the year again! That time of the year where people like to either post journals about how happy they've been with they're girlfriends or boyfriends on this wonderful upcoming day OR post a journal saying how they dont have a girlfriend/boyfriend and probably never will have one... they feel so lonely and... and... then they trail off onto something else because they feel that bloody humiliated because of Feb the 14th.
DONT SAY IT NEVER HAPPENS, BECAUSE IT DOES. I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN A HUNDRED TIMES AND IT'S THE SAME EVERY YEAR.
Valentine's Day is a day where you say to your dearly beloved, "I love you, here's a box of chocolates and some roses," on this ONE particular day of the year, when there's another 364 days you could have said or done it on!
My money-scam alarm is going off again! Those heart shaped chocolate boxes? Those would be cheap on any other day of the year, you know.
As I see it, Valentine's is just a day to make the couples feel snug as a bug in a rug, and the lonely people feel... well, lonely-er. Because we know alot of lonely people out there dont have the self-asteem and guts to go up to the person they like on Valentine's Day, as say they like them, which to my understanding is the main point of it. (Aside some bloke dying for his girl or whatev)
I dont say that out of spite either, hell, I'm taken for gawds sakes.
SIGH.
Right, that was totally irrelevant, but I had to say it. I feel like one of the only people who have an ounce of common sense to see straight through this bleeder of a money-sucking day.
What? I'm serious. I could celebrate tomorrow by throwing £20-worth of money-notes on the floor and hoovering it up with a vacuum cleaner. To me, it's the same thing. D:!
MY POINT IS, it does not cost money to tell someone you love them. Kay? All those gifts are like buying your partner. I see my mum doing it back here, and to be quite honest I think she'd have done better to buy her fiance off of E-bay at this rate.
Also, all those people who were thinking of making a journal like I said up there? For the love of god, make someone else happy tomorrow by just throwing in a "good luck to all those people in relationships, the same goes for all those looking, and those who are on there own, or any-bugger else sat around out there reading this"
Hey, I mean it. Good luck, lots of fish in the sea and all that crazy-saying stuff.
Luff you.
Touching moment.
Hugs anyone?

Right, that's the end of that. Half an hour's worth of writing later, Jesus son of frigging Mary...
Again, sorry for anything that may offend or provoke a "This girl is obviously on some form of crack" reaction.
Now, cup of tea time... peace out.

... Thanks for reminding me, I need to get another cup of tea.
On a more serious note... I really need that tea.
... This journal is so true.
Raven The Hedgehog Says:
I wouldn't even know if it was that day if it hadn't been for all the pictures I've seen on here.
I'm not used to being used to things. Now leave my alone while I cry because I wish I had someone I could throw away my money on.
HARHARHAR
HARHAR

War in. Peace out.
Project Dark Fox Says:
Woo hoo, single and loving it. I know what I'm doing FEB 15th. XP
Speed Emblem Says:
I forgot Valentine's Day was even happening tomorrow until you had to remind me.
Now I'm gonna cry. ):
Funky Says:
D: I only liek it for friend profits
its not a big holiday for me
thouhg it is for everyone else
(though, i do like White day >_o i get more!)
Aggressive Says:
God, you talk so much common sense that peoples heads will start to explode.
I personally hate the day. I shower my significant other in love and gifts any time of the year. I don't need a set day where I'm basically forced to be romantic and buy shit at a beefed up cost.
I'm not exactly the romantic type in case you hadn't figured. Sweet, yes. But poetry, roses and love hearts everywhere is definately not my scene.
But... The woman likes it, she gets upset when I say I don't. I think she has the cliché movie image of Valentines day.
So as much as I dislike this scam, it always wins. God damn $40 roses, I'm such a sucker.
You need to rant more. It amuses me muchly. Especially how you can end such an angry rant with "luff you" and "hugs anyone?"

Angsty Willow is full of angst today.

TO THE WILLOW TREE! *KISSYY*
shirude Says:
Truth! Companies just generally love holidays to gain them the monies. For example, easter eggs in January. FUCKIN' JANUARY. ASJHAJHSHJASHJ. Then again, I've always ignored Valentine's Day so I wouldn't really know about all the yaylovers and awwsingles stuff. :/
ALSO GODDAMNIT WILLOW FOR MAKING ME SIGN IN ON SA AFTER ABOUT A MILLION YEARS OF NOT.
Zero Exillerius Says:
Truth'd.
Valentine's Day is not a holiday, it's an overly glorified Thursday. Or whatever day it's on.
