Why is it that I can relate to this livejournal entry so well, yet still had the energy to make you laugh today? Maybe it's this thing I have called hope... I don't know.
valentine's day was named after a 5th century catholic monk who was martyred. he had nothing to do with romance. valentine's day was created by the catholics in order to more fully assimilate a "pagan" culture into its being. the original pagan ritual included all young single women in a village putting their names into a container of some kind, after which the young single men of the village would pick out a name each. the women became the sexual partners of those men until the next celebration.

Man, those pagans had a nice system going. That is, unless you end up drawing the name of some totally monsterous girl.
