valentine's day is such a funny holiday. for couples, it's a one-way giving spree and for singles, it's another day to be depressed and bitter. me, i don't really care. but i've had fun watching other people respond to this holiday, and it's not even until tomorrow!!
a coworker of mine, in a long-term, mid-distance relationship tried to argue with me the one-sidedness of this holiday. women, i proposed, expect big things from their men but never really put in an equal effort. (how is this different from any other day of the relationship? i don't know, that's another post, for another day.) she however, assured me that she put equal effort into valentine's day. but.... then spent 10 minutes to justify why she wasn't willing to pony-up the money to send him flowers or treats. this afternoon, she received flowers from her boyfriend. i think i can win an argument with her without even talking!!!!
some of my single friends, conversely, are full on into their "to hell with valentine's day"-crotchety-depressed mode. they hate everyone else who's doing something special tomorrow and just want to get drunk!
personally, both people crack my shit up! so what am i doing to celebrate the holiday of love?
1. i sent my grandma a card (like i do every year).
2. i'm going bowling (it's league night).
3. i'm going out with some single friends for beers to celebrate our single independence!
4. i made an appointment for my subaru to go into the shop on thursday. i figure, without a girlfriend, my subaru is currently the love of my life and i might as well pamper it.
