ah valentines day.

heres the thing about valentines day. it's great an all but i'm a firm believer that it shouldn't be any more romantic than any other day of the year. i think the 'romance' that people celebrate today, should last all year. i don't want a relationship that does the 'i love you' thing once a year. i don't believe in making it a production and i like the idea of spending valentines day doing something fun that isn't...i don't know... so out of the ordinary that it's more of a production.

i get a lot of 'you're lying!"s with this but i'm not a huge flowers person. i know i know. i like flowers, actually i love flowers but the idea of spending a lot of money on something that will die absolutely kills me. in all honesty, i think i prefer a single flower, randomly than a big boquet. i love roses. i really love tulips and i think my favorite are gerber daisies. i would much prefer getting A flower randomly than a big arrangement on valentines day, aka 'the day you're obligated to love someone'

candy. lets address this, shall we. please don't give me a gift that i will later hate myself for eating. it just... just no.

i do like valentines day. i like the fact that it's a day set aside to celebrate love, but those of us without it in a specific kind of relationship are left out feeling like outsiders. i normally send really funny cards to people for valentines day. i managed to get about 6 out this year. it's sad, i wanted to send merediths 2nd graders some and i ran out of time and energy. it was very unfortunate.

it's funny though because, not being in a current relationship, i don't think about not being in a relationship, i always think about past relationships...which may be more pathetic. it's not in a bad way but a remember all the funny and fun stuff. like the best valentines day i ever had was in high school. meredith and i made a scavenger hunt for our group of guy friends that ended with a pic nic at the top of the dunes at the beach...in feb... with heart shaped jello and pb&j sandwiches. i'll post pictures some other time. we had a lot of fun... i can't think of a better one.

may you have had the best 'love day' ever.

spell check won't work again... bummer
