i didn't want to get up this morning at all. i'm staring to wander back into my night routine. i think this will be the last semester i take this many hours. i'm really hurting.
i have to decide where my priorities are today. i have paid work, school work, and house work that has to be done. i'm not sure where to start. i'm thinking i might head to school soon. i have stuff due today. :(
well.. i know i had an interesting dream last night. i just can't remember what it was.
i wrote an email to a friend the other day saying that vday was about candy..half joking/half serious.. he said that vday can't be about candy cuz you can get candy any day of the week... but that's how i feel about showing you care to someone. you have equal opportunity to show you care any day of the week... oh well.
my anti-vday proposal comment to
tis true. valentines is still something worth celebrating if you find some meaning to it.
i love to give candy (hence i also like halloween)..i like to make concoctions of joy..etc..
however, the reason vday is one my least favorite holidays is because of the commercialised, systematic romanticsm. however, i don't protest valentines for everyone.. just for myself. i don't like to single out specific annual days to profess love, devotion..etc.. (including anniversaries). i like my partner to think.. not to ritually buy me flowers and a box of chocolates.. i'd rather us both go to the store and pick out the best assortment of candies together..and then go home and binge.. that has more meaning to me.
i'm a little unnerved about the "love" litmus test that goes on today. "look at my boyfriend, he got me two boques of flowers"..or "oh isn't he sweet, he got me a teddy bear..and it happens to be bigger than yours" ...it's almost like a sport..and damn race to the finish line in most cases. i just want to say to all those people who freak out over this holiday.. don't sweat it.. just enjoy being with your friends, family, or loved one.. etc.. just like you were saying. it's a holiday.. you can celebrate it or not. today is like tomorrow...another opportunity... the label is just a suggestion..
