dude... I just watched Never Been Kissed last night. Hottest English teacher ever yes. But anyway that movie makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. wah.
we should "hang out" tomorrow! Eat chunky monkey with me! ;) *hug*
or if they are smart enough to realize that this day DOES NOT DEFINE who they are as a person, can move on and say "I don't care".
umm well said here. i spent a majority of my life dreaming of a valentine's day...only realizing...that even when i got married...romance was not a word my husband knew well...if at all. "Holidays are crap"...and now...i pretty much agree...because i want this stuff everyday. A holiday doesn't define how you should be, act, think, whatever.
Itz merely a desire that inside of us romantics...and a hope of something coming true...when in reality...even if you did get a guy...therez a chance they aren't even romantic anyway and avoid the holiday like the plague.
As if high school wasn't socially hard enough without those damn carnations! I HATED those! Even though I've been married 10 years, we have never really celebrated V-day. It's a manufactured corporate holiday perpetuated by gift hungry women that pressure their S.O.'s into getting them expensive gifts thusly making us all look like gold-diggers that place the value of themselves to another person on material items. Jerks. If people can't express these things other times of the year, why guilt them into doing it twice a year? Don't even get me started on "sweetest day" or the media's pressure inducing commercials for diamonds. There are absolutely NO ads guilting women into buying expensive gifts for their man. V-day is the cruelest holiday invented ever. On the plus side, lots of chocolate half price tomorrow!
LOL Jenny!!! The last sentence of this made me laugh a lot. hahahhaah!!!!
and yeah I can't friggin' STAND diamond commercials. Like that one where the guy is like "I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!" in public, and she's like "shh, stop!!!" until he gives her a diamond and then it's okay. *eyeroll*
Around here there's a series of jewelry commercials that are like, woman: "Lisa, that is the most gorgeous diamond bracelet I've ever seen!" Lisa: "I knnnnnow, I was speechless!" (in a separate convo) man: "Lisa, speechless?" other man: "yeah, for a FULL MINUTE" [blah blah blah blah blah] woman: "I still can't imagine you speechless" Lisa: "look at the bracelet again!" woman: "...ye-ah."
GOOD LORD! I mean seriously!! UGHHHHH. I hate stereotypical materialistic "romance"!!
And that reminds me of the dumbest relationship-based ad ever, I think it's for McDonald's or something... and the girl is like, "so my boyfriend said today he'd like to get serious in our relationship! I told him I thought we should wait a while, see other people..." (friend) "sounds like somebody missed snacktime" [blah blah blah ad crap] "my boyfriend is so happy with the freedom I'm giving him he wants to marry me! I said yes!!"
