I've always hated Valentine's day, but this year I'm feeling especially bitter. So this year, I'm going to post my top ten reasons I've always hated Valentine's Day. (I've had this idea for more than a week, I was just letting my bitterness build up/seeing if something would happen that would make me not bitter...)TOP TEN REASONS I HATE VALENTINE'S DAY:
10)It's a holiday for the greeting card companies to make money.
9)It's overly publicized. Really, it's everywhere. On TV, in the paper, in stores...
8)Planning dates is hard enough, but planning an original date for the one day of the year that everyone is on a date is next to impossible.
7)Valentine's Day doesn't get me out of school (when it falls on a school day), or school work, so it's not really a holiday.
6)Roses are too cliche.
5)Candy hearts are gross.
4)Chocolate is fattening.
3)If you're single, there's no easier way to feel like dirt than to look around you on Valentine's day.
2)It's in the middle of February, which means the cold, and I hate the cold.
And the number one reason I hate Valentine's Day is....(Drum roll)
1)It's a tie between the fact that I'm always alone, even when I have a boyfriend... and that I feel that if you really love someone, you'll tell/show them at every chance you get, not just one day of the year.
Some other reasons why I hate today that I can think of, but that didn't make the top ten are:
Most Love songs are cheesy and overplayed at this time of year. It's like how around Christmas, you get "Santa Claus is coming to town" stuck in your head, and you want to bang your head against a wall because it's annoying even you. It'd be more special to propose (or do something else sweet/serious) on a day that everyone else isn't doing it.It's a weird day to be mushy and sentimental, considering the person it's named for (St. Valentine) was executed on this day.We all(yes, that means guys, too) need to be romanced more often than just one day a year.So Trevor is out of town for the week, in Canada or something. I hope he's having fun wherever he is. I was thinking about the fact that I'm so easily pleased, that if Trevor would bring me home a postcard for my collection (Total cost to him: about 50 cents, right?), I'd be happy for a week. Seriously, something as simple as a stupid postcard would make me happy... Too bad I forgot to ask for one yesterday. Oh well. I miss him. I really need to spend a good deal of time (like an entire day, at least) with him so I don't go completely insane, but I don't really see that happening anytime soon. So excuse me while I pout because I miss him...
I find that I'm still bitter about the fact that Darren started dating Brittany before he broke up with me. Since he's a worm and he's already hurt Brittany, I feel even more angry about it because she's my friend and I don't like to see my friends get hurt. Guys can really suck sometimes.
