I FUCKING HATE Valentine's Day.

Just saying.

Also, I finally have Internet at home. I can now freely vent my frustration into the intarwebz! I know this thrills you all immensely.

Yay!!!! So glad!!!!!

About the internet access, not the other part.

You going to explain, or leave us wondering?

Well, I love you, and that's also a good type of love to celebrate in my opinion, so there's a happy thought.

[faeriemere]

Thank you.

Maybe when I cool down and cheer up and cease to be on the verge of angry tears. And can be rational and talk about it without capslock and an excess of exclamation points and expletives.

Or maybe not. It might be a while before that happens.

Valentine's Day as a single, even if one has a significant other, is pure torture. I do remember that quite well.

Actually, it can also be torture as a married person as well. We had some rocky holidays the first few years before we got it figured out. One must balance expectations with reality.

Sorry you're having a lame one. We had big plans to attend a dinner dance tonight (we've been excited for months and now we're both sick in bed. Strangely, I'm not at all bothered. In fact, I'm having a lovely time. I'm reading and browsing the internet and Dan is watching "24" on his laptop. The kids are in bed and we're eating snacks. Not romantic, no, but exceedingly pleasant nonetheless.

I hate Valentine's Day because I don't think it SHOULD be a big deal. I didn't even HAVE any expectations - I made a POINT of not having any. I don't even CARE about Valentine's Day. I really don't. What's happening (or not happening) this weekend would suck any time of year. The timing isn't helping, though.

Why did Valentine's Day have to fall on a long weekend this year? I hate you, life.

I'm envious of your quiet comfort. I'm really sorry the dinner dance didn't work out, but it sounds like you're enjoying yourselves nonetheless. I'm glad.

[magicsandwiches]

Not happening weekends suck, too. Then AND now. I'm just happy I'm feeling go with the flow tonight.

I'm so sorry you're having a super crummy weekend.

(now I'm looking for you on FB)

(now you've disappeared-yikes-feeling insecure...)

[faeriemere]

Well, at least I'm not crying about it anymore. Truly, thank you for talking me through that. Hopefully, the worst of it is past now. A good night's sleep will help, as well.

And I do apologize for my super lame Internet. Weak, AT&T. I am not impressed.

I hope you have a terrific weekend. Do you guys get a long weekend, too?

[mer_lowe]

I am sorry dear. I'll give you a call today or tomorrow. This time I won't be half asleep. Just remember V-day is a hallmark holiday and totally not worse a fuss. Unless of course one gets chocolate. But then again one doesn't need a holiday for that.

[faeriemere]

Of course. Thanks for the reminder.

Mm, chocolate. I do have plenty of chocolate around. The pleasure of eating it, alas, is somewhat reduced by its dubious nutritional value.

Yay, I'm looking forward to talking!

[caveat_lect0r]

So what's going on? Much cryptic doom and no explanation is forthcoming?

[faeriemere]

Not doom, I don't think. At least, not after having three days to let my temper simmer down.

I'm going to try to update tonight. No promises, but I'm going to try. I am well aware that I am LONG overdue for an update of any substance.
