Happy Hallmark Day.

Hope it's a great one for all of you who celebrate it.

Now, I'm going to go avoid being online like the plague. Maybe by tomorrow you all will be done with the mushy stuff.

Me? Bitter? Nah. While I DO have my own personal issues with this day of the year, I just absolutely hate this "holiday". We shouldn't need a special day of the year to let ( Read more... )

Hear hear!

My husband and I don't celebrate...we celebrate all year :-)

And that's what people SHOULD be doing. :)

I hate how people make it all about that special someone. I think you should use it as a day to remind EVERYONE that you care about them. Why does it have to be about eros love?

hellblazin_lady February 14 2007, 16:40:53 UTC

But, see, that's kinda my point. Why should we NEED a day to remind us to remind people (family, friends, spouses, SOs... Anyone, really) that we love them? Shouldn't we be doing this on a regular basis? Feb. 14th only serves to make retailers richer.

Bah. Gonna get off my cranky, frustrated ass and go take a walk. Far away from the goofiness of the day.

And, yeah, I do admit that I'm more than a little bitter and jaded. Probably has a lot to do with my attitude.

~huggles til you squeak~ Love you, Amy! ;)

50 pages of awesome, and I dare you not to laugh.

Wow! That IS pretty damned awesome! Having the kitty pictures there to giggle at keeps my brain from melting at the sheer idiocy!

LoL That is too funny!

I only made it through 18 pages before I overdosed on the cute.

Aww! I'm gonna miss you!

I have no reason to celebrate either. :( But I like doing nice things for those I love and it's the one day a year people don't give me goofy looks or think me odd for going an extra mile (or 20) for them. lol

hellblazin_lady February 14 2007, 23:26:24 UTC

I get goofy looks for going the extra mile or 20, no matter what the day. :p

*Nods*

Similar reasons to why I hate Christmas. . . To much crap.

hellblazin_lady February 14 2007, 23:27:21 UTC

Yep. Plus, as I stated above, I do realize that my own personal issues with the date have a lot to do with my attitude.

No doubt, but it is rather annoying in general. I work in a hardware store so I didn't have to deal with the hype this year!
