Even when I am with someone, I hate Valentine's Day because it raises agonizing expectations and all the good restaurants are crowded and have crappy service on this day.
As a commercially dictated holiday, VD makes me resentful about being told when to be romantic and what to consume to be suitably romantic.
I say we should hark back to the true tradition of Saint Valentine ==> St. Valentine was martyred by Roman emperor Claudius the Goth, who ordered him to be clubbed to death and beheaded. Right on, Claudius! Them ancient Romans sure knew how to party and throw proper orgies.
So I will be wearing black with some bloody red accents today. Check out the goth Necco candies (Hearts of Darkness) as well the broken hearts here.

When I'm not single I hate it because of the way it turns people into saps for the day. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for romantic snugglebunnying with my lady, but the idea that V-Day requires regimented trips to flower shops, card shops, and then to restaurants that laugh as they rip you off with service no one would accept on any other day of the year.
fortunately the lady thinks the same.

My colleague informs me that there is a man in the Plaza shopping centre dressed as Charlie Chaplin and giving out red roses to laydeez. I couldn't establish whether he was a nutter or employed to do this. I didn't like the implication that I should get myself down there for some of the free lurve action being given away.

I just want a cheap box of Gale's chocolates tomorrow. No relation to ILE gale as far as I know but the chocolate is the best.
