Ice Possible, Drive With Care

Well, a bright and cheery Valentines Day to all of you! Remember that I love you all. Really I do. I don't need a holiday for me to express my love!

Maybe I am cynical. Maybe I am bitter. But I really don't believe in Valentines Day. The reasons are as follows:

1. Who is this St. Valentine?(I'm not Catholic. Don't really plan on being Catholic..well unless I become a nun. Mmm...maybe I will be Catholic. I am somewhat intrigued by Pope Eggs.) Why is he so big on love? And do we need a holiday dedicated to love? No, I don't think so. I think we need more holidays dedicated to turkeys and to dead monarchs.

2. February!?! The best time you could think of was February for a holiday? No.

3. It isn't a real holiday, because we don't get it off work or school. Thusly, the celebration there of should be optional.

4. It is a true fact...sad one to admit...I eat chocolate every day. EVERY day. I don't need to have chocolate in a the shape of a heart to be happy.

5. I just spent money on the people I love at Christmas...which was...6 weeks ago. Do you really need something else from me?

6. Pressure. There is pressure if you are dating someone to have the best Valentines plan ever (similar to the pressure felt on New Years Eve) and if you aren't dating anyone, pressure to find someone to date or something to do, so it doesn't look like no one loves you.

7. Sweethearts. Like Preference is so many unnecessary ways. Who wants to go to dance anyways, let alone a dance where I have to get a dressed up, dance every song with the person that asked me and be charming and witty all night. Too hard. (Plus none of us have been asked, so maybe we are little bitter about it.)

8. Roses (Baby's breath included!), Stuffed Animals(that have Happy Valentines 2006 written on them), and boxes of chocolates with Elvis on them. Thanks, but no thanks. I am not interested in you spending an inflated about amount of money for any of this crap. Thanks though.
