I hate Valentine's Day.
I mean wats the deal with this day other then many donkey years ago, some dude decided to pledge his undying love to his significant other. Is this my problem? Or yours?
Some pre-Valentine's day irks that you're bound to see, love-shape confectionary of sorts appearing out of nowhere, EVERYWHERE. Spinelli's have the Jam Heart Tarts, supposedly making you float as you walk for 5bucks. Sugar Lips biscuits, for kisses as sweet as icing. Duh? Every mall that you walk in to, heart shape confetti/balloons/useless soft fluffy stuff greets you at every turn. Hungry and want to eat? Sure, head into any restaurants near you and there'll be a Valentine's Day special, they dont even care if you're dining with the same sex!
Did i even mention the exorbitant prices that you have to pay, cos for this special day.. one have to go for the works! And im talking flowers, chocolates, dinner, PRESENTS = for this day only, everything cost normal price x 5, thank you very much. Roses at $2-$3 per stalk can go up to $15 per stalk excluding wrapping or delivering. Silly soft toys that are bought at speciality stores together with heart-shaped chocolates can easily cost up to $100 when normally its not even over $50.
My friend Michelle puts it the funniest, she's happily attached with a guy we call D. She laments about how people goes totally wacky on this day alone, walk along streets you see boy carrying handbags for their girlfriend, usually with flowers in tow (sometimes a soft toy in the middle) or with a big helium-infused balloon that screams I LOVE YOU.. in bold, no less. Girl usually walks with awkward strut, frozen smile from ear to ear and most of the time they look like Garfields. Also, they need to check others out too while they're at it to see if WE KNOW... how much her boyfriend 'loves' her.
These clowns come in droves by the way. And ONLY on 14 Feb. Every year.
If Sebastian were to treat me shitty the whole year round and only on Valentine's Day am i given the Queen's treatment, he can talk to my hand. But he is too sweet and the bestest that everytime im with him... i just... i just feel like a little marshmallow dipped in smooth expensive chocolate... heehee.
Humbug or not, you be the judge. I prefer to be loved whole year round. ^_^
