When I have somebody to actually make me care about V-day and not feel this ache from being single, then we'll talk about liking V-day. Not before.
V-day is the bane of singles.
even then i wouldn't give into the V-Day hype. my boys and i made a pact to stick it to all these folks who are flaunting their relationships at the singles out there. even when i'm married i'll be doing this.
"Screw you, wife! I'm going out with the guys tonight. It's tradition. Now go breast feed some babies and there better be a damn sammich when I get back!"
yes, that is the kind of world i wanna live in.
whee it's not even like i'm bitter, i just don't want to have society dictate how i conduct my relations. it was cool when i was in high school, but back then, things were so simple that a singing gram and flowers sent to my girl's classroom during school hours was enough. but now? oh man, your bank account is easy prey for all these merchants out there. if i'm going to be romantic, i prefer to be spontaneous, thank you very much! it's a no-win situation for the guys. we're expected to fork all this money and put so much effort into this "holiday" only to be scrutinized over coffee the next day when the ladies are getting together for their pow wow, comparing whose boyfriend did what for V-Day. my lady's conversation will go something like this:
"so, what did you and Ron do last night?"
"oh, he shot a big load on my face. i was covered in white stuff when i got home because we went paintballing in the afternoon and then he went out with the guys for dinner."
"that's it? what a pig! well last night, my boyfriend took me to Twin Peaks in SF and we had a picnic on a mountain overlooking the Bay Bridge, the Golden Gate AND downtown SF."
"oh, right, we did that last month."
"what was the occassion?"
"Ron doesn't need occassions to be romantic. he's just got it like that."
"whatever, MY boyfriend's taking me wine tasting this weekend in Napa."
"word? Ron took me to Santa Cruz. there's a winery there that has a hill overlooking the ocean. besides, Napa's overrated."
"oh yeah? well MY boyfriend's taking me to Victoria, British Columbia this weekend for a romantic getaway."
"cool. Ron knows a few spots you guys can hit up. he proposed to me on a seaplane there. have you seen my ring? it's only 8-karats, but when you turn the diamond it emits a low frequency sound that deters dogs, mountain lions and most serial killers. plus, it shoots solar-powered lasers."
that's when they all swoon. yup, got it all worked out in my head.
