Stick me in a can and call me Oscar...
...because I really don't like Valentine's Day. Regardless of whether or not I get anything, I still don't like it very much. It just seems so commercial; at least with the shops round here it does. I'm not against showing feelings of love, but why not do that every day rather than just save it for one day when everyone else is doing the same thing. if you want to do something outrageous and special, do it- it seems silly to wait until the moment that everyone else'll be choosing to do the exact same thing. And besides, all they ever sell in the shops are Valentine's Day gifts. And pink is SO not my colour, but, like, what-ever!

I won't deny that not tending to recieve anything worthwhile or even give anyone anything else plays a part, though it does nag slightly. If anything, it's more being resentful and... almost repulsed by people already in couples. Some of the things that go on just seem so ridiculously sappy. I know I'm soft-hearted, but the undying vows of the romantic era just don't sit too well with me. Flowery poems and pink hearts, fluffy bears and all that crap just aren't what I'd define as having anything to do with love. Roses are nice, granted, but I'd much rather get someone something practical that they can actually use, or at least something that won't die after two days. Like rose bush. Then they can have roses whenever- you don't have to fork over huge amounts of money to get one or two when you can have a whole bunch already on your back patio. It lasts longer and will always be there to remind you of the person who gave them to you.

But then, I prefer fushias. Or lilacs- just something interesting and character-defining.

But anyway, that's all I'll say with regards to that, heh. I'm not trying to suggest other people shouldn't enjoy it- if you're with someone then by all means show them how much you mean to each other and have a rollicking good time.

I've been put in charge of organising a friend's surprise birthday party for his girlfriend tomorrow evening, so I'm going to have a lot more on my mind than where to display my pink and fluffies ^_~
