my dislike of valentine's day was created and nurtured by years in boarding school and those horrible who-got-the-most-cards competitions - whose sick idea was that anyway? though, as an aside, i must say one of the girls at school gave me a card i will never forget. she made it herself and inside it said "you make my heart sing!" since i was her senior and she needed to make sure she had a get out of detention free card, it was a very smart move. but that was too little, too late.
time has mellowed me out and i now am at the very least ambivalent about...
hell, who am i kidding. it's not even a real holiday - i still have to come to work. i mean shouldn't it be a day when you get to be with your beloved, be it a man, woman or popcorn and ice cream? last night i prayed that i would get snowed it so that the elements would force a holiday upon us. nope, instead i slippy-slided it into the office (i almost fell 6 times) while being pelted by ice from above. yes, ice... not snow.
highlight of my day?
i got to wear my WELLINGTONS!!! and i LOVE them.
to you all... may you spend quality time with your beloved today

The Japanese version of V-Day is much better. Men are obligated to buy women and office co-workers chocolate, so instead of a "Who gets the most cards?" competition, it's a more worthy, "Who gets the most junk food?"
I know a guy in high school who sent himself a valentines card.
If only he changed his handwriting.
