White people problems: My current intense hatred of Valentine's Day


Now, upfront, this hatred is completely born out of jealousy and frustration. I know that, but emotions trump logic on this of all days. I'm throwing myself a pity party, deal with it. I'll be fine tomorrow. I didn't think it was going to bother me, but I woke up this morning and it hit me hard. I started thinking about all of the time, effort, and frankly money that I spent last year trying to find and build a relationship, and how poorly I was treated in return on two occasions.

And it brings home the point that I've been trying to make which is that people are full of shit when it comes to romance. For one day of the year, men act like they appreciate the women they're with. And the women act as if they appreciate the gestures. Either that, or they really do appreciate it because it doesn't happen any other time of the year. Whereas I, a hopeless romantic, get treated with mistrust or COMPLETE unappreciation. Or flat-out ignored. Utter bullshit.

All I have to say is, thank Cthulhu for friends and I need a drink.
