Pre-Valentine's day, aka: February the 13th.
I hate Valentine's day with a passion unknown to any fathomable form of intelligence.
Its prolly because I have no Valentine.
I remember, all during Elementary school and everything, I never had a Valentine. Oh I got cards from my friends, the select few that could remember how to spell my name got special treats while everryone else in the class got a big "Fuck you" style of card. But, I never actually -had- a Valentine. Then Jr. High came...still didn't really have one. There was that stupid "Send some candy to your crush!" bullshit, but whatever...I never got any. Then High School came and those gay carnations and singing telegrams. 10th grade, I got one or two from two seperate friends out of pity. 11th grade, I told no one my class room so I recieved zero. 12th grade, got a few and a singing telegram.
And throughout all the time, whether I had a date or not, I absolutely HATED the day. It was so commercial. Why does there need to be a day to profess your love to someone? Why do you need chocolate and roses and cards to say it? If you truly love someone, its ten times more romantic to say it on any given day, just at random and complete surprise to a girl. "I love you," sounds so much more real while taking a walk down to the park, or waiting for the train/subway/cab/trolley to arive, or just appearing at her door to tell her that. When you say "I love you," on Valentine's day, it just...seems so forced like: "Fuck, its that special romantic day that every girl loves so I'm gonna have to say I love you to her and give her shit. Damn..."
Unless its from the heart, and girls know, its worthless.
Then again, I am dateless, I am bitter, and I am in such a horrible mood cause I've been ditched twice now in the past week by the same guy, a guy whom I care a lot about cause we've been through so much and I can't get mad at him...and I don't know why, cause if it was me who ditched him, he'd be having a shit fit right about now.
I really doubt he'd even say "Happy Valentine's Day!" tomorrow to me...
