Can we talk? (caution bitterness rising)

'Candy apples stick to your fingers, cotton candy gets in your hair'-Pat Shannon


I need you to know how much I hate Valentine's day. It's the epitome of a forced Hallmark holiday based on nothing. I despise the compulsory gift giving and the Jedi guilt trip ads that would have you believe true love (whatever that is) has a very high price tag. Diamonds new cars, etc gimme a break. For a man to sit through Victoria's secret ads every year knowing that there are five years worth of lingerie still in like new condition sitting in a drawer somewhere is upsetting. Candy, cards, roses you can keep the lot of it, wake me when it's over. The idea that someone might be doing this romantic gesture simply because the calendar demands it is ridiculous. I've never wanted someone to feel like they SHOULD sleep with me or worse that they HAVE to. The fact that it's my effing birthday is beside the point....I think.

Have a nice day.
