Valentines Shmalentines! Bleah!
Y’know I’ve been so pre-occupied with all the horrid things found in Chinese New Year that I let it creep up on me like a spider descending upon a miserable fly.Say hello to the miserable fly.
Once again, we find ourselves immersed in another Hallmark Holiday - Valentine’s Day. Pfft!
Before you think I’m sulking cos I don’t have a date, I’d like to state for record that it’s nothing of the sort. I could get a date if I wanted to. There are lines and lines of women waiting with baited breath for my nod.
At least that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
I’m going to be celebrating it by assuming the role of 5th wheel alongside 2 couples who I have to meet before they fly back to Melbourne. Boy its going to be swell walking through town with hordes of love sick couples all buying into the commercialism of the whole Valentines schpeel.
The fact of the matter is, everyone gets something out of the occasion. Shops and restaurants are thankful for the business they’re going to get. Girls are thankful for the presents and dinners. Guys are thankful for what they’re going to get in return for those presents and dinners. Dateless shmos like me get squat.
So in order to make myself feel better, I’m going to cover a number of reasons why I’m better off flying solo.
1) The most obvious being all the moolah I get to save. Especially on silly things like flowers which are going to die anyway.
2) I don’t have to worry about impressing anyone with any romantic or extravagant affair.
3) I don’t have to be one of those couples who wear matchy-matchy outfits hahah! You’ve seen ‘em!
4) I don’t have to worry about topping any previous Valentines Day celebration.
5) I don’t have to worry about having the “So what does the future hold for us?” conversation or worry that the night’s events might get strangely construed.
Would you believe I’m out of reasons? Aargh! I’m better off single. I’m better off single. I’m better off single……….
Man this is depressing. Damn I hate stupid Valentines day.
On another note. I remember my very first Valentine. I was 9 years old and I bought her a paper flower with the note “Would you be my Valentine?”
She turned out to be the best Valentine I ever had because 17 years later she’s still in my life.
Happy Valentine’s Day Mum!

Just you wait. One day you will find that perfect girl and you will be willing to wear that matchy-matchy outfit! Better yet if it's pink! Ah-ha!
Very sweet to proclaim your love for your mother there Tim.
And Jellygirl's right - you'll wear even pink shirts for a girl you love. do feel free to draw the line at like.. polka dots or boat shoes though.
I ain't got no problem wearing pink shirts. But i might get a lil freaked out if a girl i was dating wore polka dots...hmm although i did date a couple of St Magaret Girls back in Sec School. As for Boat shoes...erm no comment *quickly rushes to reshuffle shoe cabinet*
