I'm ten or eleven days late with this one. So shoot me.

 

Valentines Day always seems to bring out the BEST in the pre-teen crowd, don't you find? I swear, listening to the pre-V-Day conversations on the bus just saddens me. All these girlies having a fit because they don't have a Valentine! Ohnoez, end of the world you guys! And then they end up picking up some poor sod the day before, have him spend a pile on some flowers and then drop him the next day because it totally wasn't working out.

 

You might be a shallow whore, but at least you had a Valentine.

 

Nothing wrong with having a day dedicated to love etc, but if you actually do 'love' someone, it should be an all-year-around thing. And of course, all the kiddies assume that by 'love', we mean romantic. Whatever happened to platonic love? If you're that eager to celebrate Valentines, get something for a friend instead of using and abusing some poor sod of the opposite sex for one day.

 

It's not a holiday I've ever really seen the point in, to be honest. You don't get days off, and only some people get presents while everyone else feels rejected. And then of course everyone has to watch all the super popular kids prancing around school with their five odd bunches of roses, showing off how totally loved they are.

 

And before anyone can get all cynical and say 'omg ur just sayin that cuz you didnt get anythin', well, I did, so there. But I crammed it in my bag and moved in instead of waving it around going 'LOOK AT ME U GUYz!'.

 

Personally, I'm just waiting for Easter. At least then everyone gets chocolate.
