Shmeeeeee-Day. Veeeee-Day. D-Day. Whatever.

Showing my Valentines Day spirit at its bestest.

I wore black and dark gray to my interview this morning. I straightened my hair for the first time in months. Straight=SERIOUS. Even on Valentines day. It may be a sappy holiday, but I am not going on the sappy train to flowers and candy with the rest of you. I am staying right here, with my true Valentine. My computer and office. It seems, and please correct me if I am wrong (actually, spare me), that although I am obsessed with my home office set up, it never lets me forget that I have work to do. That is a very good thing, yes, but not when I want to just eat and relax.

I also just remembered that I left my Sweethearts at my friend Karen's apartment. But now I am remembering that I have a bowl of cherry flavored Hershey's kisses and three diet cokes in the fridge. Those will probably be the only things with a hint of red in them that I will eat today. No berries, no licorice, no red apples, no tomatoes. I don't usually eat those things anyway, so it isn't even that I'm bitter, see?

Happy eff-day. Happy whateverthehellyouwantittobe-day. It is really just an empty holiday. No one ever celebrates the real reason for Valentines day, you know. It all stemmed from St. Valentine, people. This holiday is about 14 (February 14th, duh) martyred saints. Yes, martyrs die for their beliefs, but am I wrong to think that it is wrong to celebrate the deaths of 14 people (even if it was their choice) with shiny heart shaped red balloons and chocolates that are bad for you anyway?

And where the fuck did that ugly cupid come from anyway? If I saw him/her I am pretty sure I would want to stuff a sock in his/her mouth or punch him/her. I would also shoot that arrow in one of their asses. (Yeah, how would that feel, Cupid? You never thought about that, did ya?) Unless they brought me a handsome prince and dressed me in Vera Wang. But that is not going to happen.

But hey, I am all for celebrating Valentines Day with people that actually matter and will always be there. My family and my pets and my home office. They will never leave me. And some friends.


Okay, I have to get some real work done. Character development is calling my name. And so is that Fresh 'n' Easy Jambalaya in the fridge. Maybe I will take a tiny break and think about what kind of boxed wine I am going to buy myself tonight.
