we're conditioned to like valentines day... it's just all commercial and what not...
on a similar note, when i was in highschool, i had a teacher who really didn't like the idea of the school celebrating valentines day; his thought on it was that it was so aimed at straight people that he didn't want anybody else to not be included in something... like, if something has to be all commercial and cheesy, why not make it commercial and cheesy for everyone? i kind of agree with him on that -- which has nothing to do with my own sexual orientation.
i guess it can be fun for some people, but if you don't have anything to do, our culture makes you feel like shit about it. and that's truly unfair. as i said, everyone should be included in this stuff, cheesy & commercial or otherwise... (i love being by myslef, and i have no problems when i'm single, or just happen to be alone. it's just another day. )
i don't think i'll be doing anything. i might get my girlfriend something as a joke, but we've already agreed not to succumb to all that crap
anyway, sorry for the ramble
