This is most recent from my old blog:
Ok…. now my rant. Valentines Day. UG. Now… maybe I am bitter because I have never had a sweetie that has been into Valentines Day or what is more likely, I never have a sweetie when Valentines Day rolls around. But lets face it folks…. If people but 1/4 of the time they put into Valentines Day year round, we would have less divorce and sadness all around. Umph! So there.
When I am King of the World (yes King! when this happens boys have to be the Queens) if there are still enough people who want the good old V day… that is fine. BUT there will have to be Singles day too. So all the married and attach folk have to find a single person like me and shower me with gifts!!! It would be great!
See…. What people fail to realize is the situation of a lot of single folk. Take me for example. I have no real family, my brother and sister are so much younger than me they are wrapped up with themselves, and I have no boyfriend. So… there are no awesome gifts for birthdays, christmas, or valentines day.
A great example from a month or so ago. I need new curling shoes. I have had mine for over 6 years. They have lasted me for more than their lifes worth. But now they are falling apart. Some at the curling club heard me talking about them and how it will be a huge chunk of money I do not have. Like $300. So this person said, “Why did you not ask for a new pair for Christmas?”
Who am I going to ask!? Really!? I know that question can sound snarky, but I have no one to ask. No one appropriate that is. If I want or need something, I have to buy it. There are no surprises for me. No flowers will come tomorrow, no nice letters of love or friendship. I can see why there are some people that will choose a mate just for the sake of it. Even if they are sucky, at least there is a societal expectation to give a gift now and again.
So tomorrow… as you are buying your chocolate, receiving your stupid flowers, eating that romatic dinner… I hope you think of us perpetual single people out there. sitting at home watching curling on curltv and watering our peace lilies. I stick my tongue out at you!
