Out of all the stupid holidays Valentine's Day is the worst. For people in relationships and those not in them. The people in relationships have to spend money to show their significant other that they care. THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW BY KNOW! And really, how does chocolate say I love you? (We also know those candy hearts say it all on their own.) But really, "Here hunny, I love you. Eat this." ACTUALLY, that sounds vaguely familiar to me, as something I have said, only I wasn't refering to chocolate. Anyways.

For children, Valentine's Day is a day of celebration, cards, and candy. You get to have a two hour party instead of class and eat chocolate and cookies. Why did we ever stop that? Who would not like to take two hours out of their days now and eat heart shaped lollipops and those little candy hearts? Hey its better than class or work. I think we should revert back to this engenius celebration of this holiday that has been so twisted, St. Valentine was killed for crying out loud. Obviously the people then thought he was doing something wrong. We should reclaim Valentine's Day. Little cartoons cards for everyone you care about, chocolate and candy hearts party. And for us adults... (as my beautiful outrageous neighbor Kelly thought up) Free pass for sex day! Hey, who doesn't need a little loving? Now THAT is a good idea.

Now I know there are lots of stupid Holidays: Groundhog's Day, Columbus Day... Valentines Day. Stupid holiday. Of all the stupid holidays I think its the worst. At least on Ground Hog's Day people get drunk. Now that is holiday spirit! We should have more holidays that promote public drunkeness and less holidays that piss people off.

I understand that all you love birds out there who are reading this are thinking, "Oh she is just bitter." Well yes, I am bitter, but not because I don't have a boyfriend to celebrate with. I am bitter that in our society we put shuch a strong emphasis on NEEDING to be in a relationship, as if our self worth was based on the person who is buying us chocolate candies. Which is ridiculous. The person you are with should compliment your self worth, enrich it, encourage you. Not determine who you are. I am bitter because the sincerity of celebrating your love that this day was meant to have seems to have faded like a dried rose saved over time.

Just because I was hit by the bitter bus before I decided I better jump on, doesn't mean that I won't be celebrating some dead guy's holiday tonight. I am. I am going to the bar and celebrating REAL holiday spirit. With alcohol.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart

If I could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart

so dishonestly
leave a note for You
and i know You can see right through me
so let me go

It's been so long, since I've seen your face,
So long since I've been to first base.
I really miss, the feel of your kiss.
But can I have back my things before I get really pissed?
You had my heart, my soul, my attention,
But you walked out my life with my CD collection.
Breaking up is hard enough
Say you had nothing but I called you bluff.
You got my sweaters, my hat... I can't find my cat!
(meow) The hardest part of breaking up
is getting back your stuff.
So tell me girl, do I have to say please,
or do I have to involve the police?
There was a time, when I'd trust you alone.
I'd call you up girl, but you took my phone.
I can't believe I went out with a KLEPTOMANIAC!
