Valentine's Day

I HATE this time of the year!! Why does it even exist?? I don't understand how people can see the attraction of heart-shaped balloons, pink confetti, teddy bears clutching loveheart cushions with the words "I Love U" on the front and ESPECIALLY anonymous cards with "Be My Valentine" scrawled across the cover. I mean, what the fuck?! Why does there have to be a time of the year whereby being utterly pathetic and totally cheesy constitutes as acceptible? If you are with someone you unreservedly love, why, on one particular day of the year, are you expected to send two dozen roses and a box of chocolates (which will undoubtfully make you fat, so gutted) to that person? Shouldn't you do that everyday if you reeeeaaally love someone that much? If I'm honest, if I had a boyfriend who was the most unromantic and thoughtless person on the planet and never did anything for me until Valentine's Day where he shows up on my doorstep with 99 red heart-shaped balloons or something, I would slam the door in his face. Love is nothing to do with material objects that are, quite frankly, available anywhere. It's to do with protection, trust and commitment. The best way to show someone you love them is to tell them; kiss them gently on the mouth, clutch their hand and whisper the words into their ear so they know you are not just being funny - you mean it.

So I don't want any anonymous cards this year people! If you insist on being like that then I must insist you tell me that you wrote it because to me it is meaningless otherwise and you might as well send me an anonymous text saying "Do you want a shag?"

That is the end of my rant. SAY NO TO V-DAY!
