Hurtling Head First Towards Valentine’s Day

Three more weeks and the national day of socially-imposed longing, love and romance will be upon us. Them that’s got shall get. Them that’s not shall lose or at least hope the day goes by quickly.

Looks like some folks are already dealing with some anxious moments.

What are your prospects for love and happiness in 2006?

I chose to celebrate Fredrick Douglass’ birthday insteady of Valentine’s Day.

But but but, I swear, it’s not a Valentine’s Issue! Honest! (Confused rambling explanation of what it is, was, will be, and can be.) It really is about my love for lesbians.

Lesbians are cool.

I’m in a relationship, and I dread it. For some reason, we always have our worst, most exhausting quarrels on Valentine’s Days: 2 for 2 so far. He’s caught up in Organic Chemistry and finishing a Bio degree, so maybe he won’t notice and we can let it slide past unobserved for once. ..

I almost forgot about it ;) I have no prospects and don’t care too much anymore which is a little strange. According to the Tamils in South India, I’ll get married in 3 years and have a baby girl.

Some of us in long-term relationships have problems with V-day as well, and feel it becoming increasingly more of a scam. I mean: shouldn’t you be trying to go to dinner, giving flowers, candy, gifts, etc MORE than just once a year?

Also its something of a mixed day for me as well, since my grandmother passed away on Feb 14th (I was there with her) and I was in a no-injury-to-humans-but-car-totalling accident exactly a year later. Celebrate? Yeah, right, I’ll get right on that…
