Oh YAY Valentines Day. Single again, no Valentine, nothing great, another normal day. I’m slowly creeping towards becoming a convert of the Anti-Valentines Day movement.
This is what my horoscope said for Valentines Day:
Love and romance on Valentine's Day should be just as you like it. Plenty of chat and idealism, and not too much passion, which might frighten you off anyway. Mercury conjuncts the Sun and Venus conjuncts Neptune - great for flirting and finding out how the other person thinks. But whether it will turn into a deeper relationship only time will tell - it certainly won't straight away. However, you will enjoy all the attention that comes your way and the multiple offers of dates that you may have to choose from - poor you.

Fat chance lol
Valentines Day is just another one of those commercial money-making days. Now that Christmas, New Years Day and the Back-To-School sales are all over, retailers are in need of another celebration to fill the void. Here comes Valentines Day, a good day to get sell all those roses, teddy bears and chocolate and get rid of stock left over from Christmas.
Our school is pretty Anti-Valentines. There was this notice that travelled around school today:
“Roses delivered to students at school will be held at the deans’ offices to wilt till the end of the day”
Originally I was going to look for suicide rates for Valentines Days to reinforce the Anti-Valentines stance, but I doubt anyone kept count. The Ministry of Health have been heavily promoting the Hubba Bubba message today though.
Anyone else feeling lonely should check out the Anti-Valentine Spectacular, a webpage dedicated to all those pessimists and loners out there who want to express their cynicism towards Valentines Day. It will definitely make you feel a lot better.
…Of course I wouldn’t be sceptical myself if I wasn’t single! ;)
