valentine's day

i realize this post is premature, but i felt like writing it tonight.

if you aren't in a relationship or can't find a date, the day is not only pointless but pretty damn depressing.

everyone is completely (or mostly, anways) absorbed in themselves and their other half, and you, oh god of being without, must submit to being exposed all day to the excessive kissing and exaggerated acts of love and kindness between desperate male and rosy-cheeked female.

it's almost sickening if you don't have anyone. granted, i've only been in a relationship come february fourteenth twice in my short life, but it sucks ass when you know how great the day can be if you've got someone special to share it with.

this year, i don't really care what people think. every other idiot who doesn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend - gay or straight - is my valentine.

that's right. i said it.

you've got a friend in me, buddy, because i am not - i repeat - am NOT going to let it be a shitty day.

so singles of tampa, happy valentine's day in advance. i love you, and i hope you aren't mad that i've claimed you regardless of your consent.
