Unlike Abe, I feel like being negative. No, it’s not so much that I’m in a bad mood, in fact I’m pretty happy right now. But it’s Valentine’s Day! I don’t like Valentine’s Day. I even warned on my last post that I might not post today. But I decided I had to post something, so here are my thoughts on the big V-Day (Which, in case you hadn’t noticed…I don’t like. So I’m being negative. Even though I’m happy. Got it? Ok. Moving ahead.)
- Valentine’s Day is not fun when you don’t have a girlfriend.
- Valentine’s Day is not fun when you have to sing 65 singing valentines for a total of almost ten hours.
- Valentine’s Day is not fun.
- My mom cooks really good dinner.
- The only thing that smells worse than a dentist’s office is a retirement home. For serious. Molly almost died.
That’s it. Now scram. Oh, and happy Valentine’s Day. :)
‘for serious’…..nice
but why so degenterate? vday is pretty cool, even without a girlfriend, and good dinnners are alway kewl
First of all ‘for serious’ was my phrase and i take full credit for its inception. Second of all, Ansen we need to change your position on the Fear/Love line.
It’s rach. I’m gonna just say this Ansen so bear with me! Get over it. Believe it or not, the majority of people don’t have Valentine’s Day dates. Seriously, think about it. If you listed out people that you know, how many had dates last night. That’s what I thought. Not very many. It’s absolutely no big deal not to have a date, so stop moping. It’s just Valentine’s Day. That’s all. Enough said. Just don’t get mad at me for being so blunt : )!
Rach, (hick) that doesn’t (hick) keep the rest of us (hick) from feeling bad and drinking (hick) a little to much (hick).

Nathan, how dare you take credit for the comedic genius of Zoolander!
Honestly I feel somewhat offended, though not deeply. Ok, really, I’m not offended at all. But I wish to post a comment with comments on the comment left by Rachel as a comment on my post where I commented on Valentine’s Day. Woah, mouthful.
What I’m trying to say is that I want to clear up any confusion about my post and my attitude toward Valentine’s Day.
A little background info – I was about 50% kidding about not liking Valentine’s Day. The other 50%? Well, yeah, I don’t really like it. Stay tuned for more…
Rachel, I shall not get mad at you because you are blunt. Blunt is fine. I am blunt all the time. In fact, I shall not get mad at you at all. What I will do is correct you. Why? Well, because you are incorrect. In multiple ways. I hope you don’t mind my being blunt. :)
1) Implying that I think I’m the only person in the world that doesn’t have a date for Valentine’s Day. I know full well that many people don’t have dates, and that includes almost all of the people I know. I see nothing on this post that makes it seem like I thought I was the only one without a date. Kelsie even wrote about not having a date in her (your) blog! So I don’t know where that came from…
2) Implying that I thought that it was the end of the world if I didn’t have a date. Absolutely not true. I’ve had dates on Valentine’s Day before, and they were fine, but rather expensive. Not having a date is really ok by me. Once again, at no point in the post do I say that I wished I had a date yesterday. By saying that Valentine’s day is not fun when you don’t have a girlfriend, I simply mean this: it’s not much of a “special” day right? I mean, sure, there’s pink stuff all over, but other than that, Valentine’s Day isn’t especially fun because it’s like every other day. To use Kels as an example again, most people just go and watch TV.
3) Implying that I was moping. If I were going to take offense to something you said, it would be this. I was absolutely, positively not moping!!!! I don’t know where in the world you got that from. I said right in the middle of the blog, “I’m happy”. In fact, I said it twice! I’m not moping at all!! The tone of the post is really pretty light – and that’s what I was doing. Making light of the situation, or, to put it in other words, the exact opposite of moping. If you’ll notice, 99% of my blogs are oriented around trying to be funny, even though some of the trying to be funny necessitates slamming myself. So take it for the comedy (good or bad) that it is.
So in conclusion, I fear that you were extremely incorrect in your understanding of what I posted and the attitude that I was in when I posted it. I am certainly not drowning myself in self-pity. Kelsie posted about the exact same thing, and I (and I’m guessing you) don’t think that she was moping. Just because I dislike Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean I’m pouting about it.
