Oy. Let the sappy rom-com viewing festival begin. Valentine's Day. Big whoop. I'll confess; I'm mostly in it for the candy. That and it's a time when I can hang out with my friends and family and let them know that I don't think they're dumb assholes. That's what Valentine's Day is all about. Oh yeah. Also, it's the last day of school before February break, so teachers expect that their students are going to be complete space cadets and try to take pity on the poor, brainless zombies. Another thing that irritates me: *almost* everyone else is going away for February break because they actually have lives. Me? Not so much. I get to sit in my grandparents' house alone while they are on vacation and my parents are off working on our "fixer-upper" house that is currently without heat. This is how I roll. Woo, party time. NOT. So, in short: the only thing that salvages February's crappy reputation for me is the Winter Olympics. And we only have those every four frickin' years. Have fun in Hawaii, y'all. You know where I'll be for more than a week.

Valentine's Day is Overrated
Valentine's Day - the time for warm, mushy, romantic feelings and equally warm and mushy chocolates. If you're lucky. I mean, think about it; how many people actually have someone to spend this "Day of Love" with? And how many people out of those actually spend their time on Valentine's Day with their partner, making googly eyes? A few, at best.
To be honest, I never liked Valentine's Day because all of the other kids would give candy and cards to their friends and they all gave me a lousy store-bought punch-out card with no stickers. I was just in it for the candy, really. And eventually not even that. Now that I'm older, I'm starting to think about how nice it would be to have a date. Not happening. Even when one kid in my pre-K class went around trying to kiss all the girls, he left me off the list. Not that I minded at that point.
In short, Valentine's Day is a Hallmark's-induced fake, which has lost pretty much any originality or meaning.
