Sad.

It really *is* sad when your fucking horoscope on www.theonion.com, of all places, is dead-on accurate:

Cancer: (June 22—July 22)
Valentine's Day is once again almost upon you, and once again, it doesn't mean anything at all.

I've always hated--HATED--Valentine's Day. This year, the first fucking "happy couple" I see dripping chocolatey slobber on one another's chins or gazing sentimentally into one another's eyes is going to get stabbed right in the neck. The *next* "happy couple" I see after that will get the same thing. And then the next, and the next, and the....

...being a cancer myself. And, even when I was part of a "couple" I hated that sappy Valentine's Day shit.

Sappy Valentine's Day stuff has ALWAYS annoyed me, single or not, too. The only thing I really like about the "holiday" are those cool little candy hearts that have stuff written on them like SEXXXY ROBOT and LET'S POKE and so forth.

Wait. That's what *I* write on them.

Dang.

I'm going to be shallow here and say I liked it because it generally meant a free meal. I prefer the days after when all the candy's on sale. This year however, we have planned for all us non-attached to head out for some food somewhere. We're thinking Indian. Really, I'm just using the excuse get some people off their asses and out of the house. That's legitimate I think.

You know, there is NOTHING shallow about free meals and cheap candy! Any holiday is a good justification for free grub and candy--especially when the grub is Indian, and the candy is Swedish Fish. As a matter of fact, eolh has gotten me hooked on calling Valentine's Day by its real name: Cheap-Candy-Day Eve!

Mmm... cheap-candy-day eve. Esp. as Target has the great habit of dropping their prices on seasonal merchandise to 50% off the day after the holiday. CVS starts lower and works it's way to 75%. I have this down to a science man... a science!

I'm definitely with alternakittyn on this one. Free food is never a bad thing, nor is cheap candy. I feel for you, though. I always hated V-day because it always seemed like an excuse to do something nice for someone when you normally wouldn't. Oh, it's okay if you treat your significant other like shit every other day of the year, as long as you're willing to buy some stupid box of truffles and stammer "I love you" on that one day. C'mon people, what ever happened to creativity!?
