Ahhh, Valentine's...I love the smell of commerce in the morning!

I'm not a huge supporter of Valentine's Day. I could really take it or leave it. I think it was a good idea, but somehow it just didn't really work out. It as become this commercial holiday (well not even a "holiday" because it's not a stat) which dictates that unless you get a glittery card, chocolates, flowers and a dinner your relationship is doomed, your boyfriend doesn't care...etc. Of course, us sane people know it's all a sham inflicted on us by the card, flower and chocolate corporations. Hey, at least they're working together!

The bitterness in people today really just makes me laugh. I don't understand how people get so worked up over this. These are people who know and believe that Valentine's really isn't anything but a commercial holiday and yet they have the bitchiest things to say today...either on their blog or perpetually on msn. There is nothing like the subject of Valentine's to make perfectly happy women irrationally upset...myself excluded (!). I've noticed this in my friends. For some reason they get attached to and fixated on the notion that if they are alone today, they are unworthy, unhappy, losers. It's insane! If I hate Valentine's it's for no other reason than it turns all my girlfriends into very angry people...
