Ahhhh, Valentine's Day.

Unlike many terminally single people, I don't feel much bitterness, here. A bit of wistfulness, certainly, but I'm a hopeless romantic, and thus find the whole day rather cute. I've considered going out and doing something for myself, but since I have work, class, and a paper due, I know I'll probably just come back here, work on my assignment, and then go to sleep.

Custom. Tradition. Good marketing. :P

There is no real reason, of course. It's just something that a lot of people feel they should be involved in, because other people and the media tell them they should. And on one hand, it leads to romantic dinners, nice boxes of chocolates and stuff. On the other, it leads to lonely people trying to off themselves in dorm rooms at the mere /thought/ of the holiday approaching and no one to share it with.

And gives some of us couples stress headaches trying to come up with something suitably romantic. :)

I give you a belated Valentine's hug over all this. So there!
