Trying to walk through what is already a narrow and crowded hallway today was even more annoying than usual. Half of the hallway was blocked with tables and dozens of them. At the tables people were selling flowers, candy and crap. I think they may have been giving away condemns too?
Anyhow, so I get to the student union and now I've seen it all. There are 3 girls and 2 guys standing in the middle of the union holding signs that say, "Free Hugs". I actually said out loud, "really?!?!"...and then thought to myself, "oh this is a blog waiting to happen". And so here we go.
I hate Valentine's Day and most any other holiday for that matter if it costs me money or causes me any inconveniences related to time. The exception of course is Halloween when I take pride in a creating a costume often at great price (both time and money), just so that I many go out that one night of the year publicly wearing a hot/sexy costume. BUT, that is just so much fun!
I don't know, here's the thing...if some guy is an asshole 364 days out of the year and he remembers to buy a card and show up with flowers on Feb 14th, I am hardly impressed. If you really care about someone, you show it 365 days of the year and Feb 14th is just like any other day. There's no need for fanfare, candy, flowers, hearts or teddy bears. This is just corporate America giving you one more useless thing to spend your hard-earned money on and its dumb.
But that's just my opinion and I'm like all anti-romantic so whatever.
