Articles: Valentines day Blues. |

Well, it's Valentines Day, and I am once again holed up in my room, hiding from the masses. Not because I view this day as yucky, stupid, or pointless. This day reminds me of two things: pain, and bad luck.
Example, circa last year, same day. My girlfriend at the time gets arrested for shoplifting and calls me up at 6:12 AM. I went to bed at 3:30 AM. I am very tired, pissed, and scared. She asks me to call a good lawyer (6:12 AM?!?!?), and front her $500 dollars for bail. WHAT?!?! Then she hangs up on me before I can ask anything.
I go to class, messing up my exams, and go home, getting ready to treck out to downtown Chicago, to find out what the hell is going on, and to maybe ask a few monitary favors from friends. Right as I'm about to call 411, the phone rings. It's her, asking if I can just pick her up from the precinct. Yeah, sure, as long as you're alright.
So, I call in to work, gonna be late. I drive out to Chicago, drive Lake Shore Drive (I swore I wouldn't again, because I got into an accident, and was still in the rental truck). I find the precinct, and she's not in the building. She's in the OTHER building, (female mind reader award not applied).
On the drive back to her dorm, she explains what happened. She lifted some diet pills, trying to be seen. She wanted the attention, because apparantly I wasn't giving it. That week I did as much as I could possibly do for her. Guess it wasn't enough. I drop her off, then have to promptly leave. Her mom is showing up, with the sister. There is supposed to be a little dorm get together that night, and I'm not invited (I work too long too). Ok, whatever bye.
I go to work, get bitched out because of EVERYTHING (see a pattern about V-day suckiness?), and finally get done with my shift. I get home, the phone is ringing off the hook, and it's Marie. apparantly, the sister got everyone down her throat (The sister is good at being a bitch), so Marie is sobbing on the phone. I hear the sister yelling in the background. There is nothing I can do, and it pisses me off more, and makes me utterly helpless.
Eventually everyone left, (those who were neutral didn't do a damned thing to help her), and the sister had Marie all to herself to bitch at. Since it was finally one on one, and I had more mit-terms the next day, I got off the phone. Still in this shitty attitude, I pretty much found the first bottle I could, and fell asleep before it could hit me.
Thus ends last year. It's like that every year. This year was the first that nothing happened. And I know the reason. I've holed myself up in my room, and am trying to keep everyone at bay. AIM is nice to me now, no one asks for romance with me there. (Yes, I am a little jaded and/or bitter, oh well) To everyone else who can relate, please leave a response. I just felt like this little story was fitting.
Blessed be, all.

What do you expect when there are so many damn pink hearts running around?!?! This may be cliche, but I HATE pink, I loathe it, I hate it when they dress little girls in pink... OK that was off subject, anyway, it sounds to me that your problem is not valentines day, its hooking up with a whacked out girl. I mean, come on "I shoplifted to get attention, cause I don't get any from you." what a load of crap, that is something I would expect a twelve year old to say (you know, on one of those horrible talk shows). I hope you realize it, but most girls would say something along the lines of, oh, I don't know "PAY ATTENTION TO ME YOU JERK!" or something like that.

In my family, valentines day is when we have funerals. Not on purpose mind you, it just kind of works out that way. My Great Grand Mother died on monday night, she was just over 100 years old.

Yeah...
Valentine's Day sucks... "Its one thing being lonely, but do they have to create a holiday to emphasize it?" - Loosely paraphrased from Charlie Brown

I'm going to hell...

Well, I fucked things up...got drunk, slept with a married woman, and a japanese girl I have a feeling was in the latter stages of high school...then got chased by police down the beach before hiding in the hold of a mine sweeper. My Valentine's day ended with me puking my guts out over the Commanding officer's shoes...I am so screwed it's not even funny.
When you die, if it starts getting warmer, bring some marshmellows and clothes hangers...I got the grahams and chocolates...

I feel a bit pansy for this one, but i have had the flu for V-day this year, had bronchitis for it 2 times, and had my ex husband give me the papers for divorce on V-day.
But the flu isnt that bad this time, the bronchitis always came with good drugs and lots of cuddles from people that wanted me to get better, and I hated that bastard by that time, so it could all have been worse.....

I suppose Valentine's Day hasn't been extraordinarily bad for me. Someone will always point out to me after it has passed that it had been Valentine's Day and I will will reflect upon the day and come to the conclusion that it sucked. Of course, that's the way almost every holiday or event tends to work with me... X-Mas, My birthday, Wednesdays... I go through them blissfully unaware until someone points them up after the fact.
The problem here might be the expectation that an arbitrary day is supposed to have some value or other. I'm sure you have heard about the problems of being "goal-oriented". You never enjoy what you are doing if you are always looking forward to it leading to some nebulous thing or other that may or may not happen. Days are the same way. Stumble through them. They won't meet every expectation you could possibly have as long as nobody shows up at your door with a giant novelty check, but that's all right. It makes the unanticipated spots of sweetness that much sweeter.

Valentine’s Day is just one of those Holidays I routinely brush off to the side. There have been a few occasions where I have done a little something here or there though. One year, I purchased a dozen of red roses for my grandmother, I mean, who says Valentines Day is just a day reserved for intimate relationships? To me, it is a day to appreciate anyone you love, family, friend, etc..not just the people you lust. If you try to think of it that way, it’s not such a wretched day for us single souls. Considering your past V days, I think I would have hidden away somewhere too. Psycho people are scary.

Ugh v-day was learning for me, I had an exam the next day. Well, it's an imported holiday in Romania (just like Halloween actually), so who cares about it. Hm, maybe the masses willing to expose pink kitsch? Heh, I thought it was on the 13th.
