Valentine's Day.
So, February. Valentines Day in nearly a week. And Billie Joe's 35th birthday a few days after on the 17th of February.
Well, every Valentine's Day hasn't really meant much to me. Honestly, I celebrate Billie's birthday more than I celebrate Valentines Day.
I don't know about you, but I personally think its slightly overrated. People squealing in excitement the day before, expecting flowers, chocolates, secret love letters, their massive crush to ask them out...
But then the day comes, and none of this happens. They get excited for no reason, live in hope, and feel crushed when it doesn't live up to their expectations.
OK, so I've never received a valentine. It sometimes got me, but this didn't happen too often. I got over it. Life goes on, maybe one day it'll happen. Who knows?
I've never gone out with someone before, which gets to me a little more. I haven't met 'Mr Right' yet...but obviously, it feels kind of early to start. I am only 14, I know. But most of my friends (actually, I think all of them) have been at least asked out by someone. I never have.
Maybe this Valentines Day'll be different. But this year, I care no where near as much. I still remember last year when this girl in my homeroom stepped off the bus to see her boyfriend standing there with a massive bouquet of roses. And it didn't help that this girl wasn't the nicest person in the world.
And then I saw another horrible Valentine's Day story. A very nice, not bitchy at all, friendly, pretty girl (OK, I am being VERY sarcastic) called Grace dumped her boyfriend of two years the day before Valentine's Day. And took him back the day after Valentine's Day after realising no one else was going to ask her out.
This same guy (who is a very very nice person, by the way =] ) then dumped her about a month later.
But not because he realised how horrible she was.
But because he said: 'You're too good for me.'
Maybe I'm going on about this too much...
Maybe I'm in a very very very sour mood...
Maybe I just felt like a good bitching session...
But what I would do to receive a Valentine isn't too important to me.
I'll hang out with my friendly horses XD What are you all doing this Valentine's Day?

I understand ya know. It's so overrated, but sometimes I wish someone would give me a valentine.. Yes, corny. I know. -_-
What am I doing? Meh. Walk around my high school watching every pretty, popular girl on the arm of some shallow guy carrying a dozen roses. Yep. Pretty much it. xD Anyways... I agree with you.

I really should think of how I should celebrate Billie's bday too...
Maybe I'll make a papier mache` heart grenade and send it to him. =]
But they'd probably be like: 'Um...this person is obsessed.'

Just another hallmark holiday.
On Valentines day I'll be planning how to celebrate Billie's birthday.

I feel that same exact way you do. One of my friends have a boyfriend [who she's always with] and one of my other friends goes on and off with guys. I've never had a real boyfriend. I've had a valentine, but no boyfriend. I also think that Valentine's Day is kind of a pointless holiday. I mean, if a couple really appreciated each other, they wouldn't wait until one day of the year to show their feelings for each other.
Hah. I remember in the 5th grade, this boy gave me a huuuuge box of chocolates, and I knew he liked me. But I pretended I didn't know who gave me the box of chocolates so I didn't have to say 'thank you' to him. I just was selfish and ate the whole box of chocolates :]

Yes, being lonely is a major disadvantage. But the thing is, love is for everyone. Your parents, your friends, whoever. You love your parents dontcha? I love some of my friends cuz they pwn. I love myself because I pwn even more.

Our school goes over the top for valentines day, but it's pretty funny. You can send roses to people and dedicate flowers and stuff and love songs to be played over the speakers. You just dedicate random songs from like the most popular guy in the school to say, another guy. lol. it's funny. I'm going to dedicate songs to my friends, haha. XD
But, on another hand, valentines day is just another way card shops earn money. They were probably there, one day, thinking "Hmm, hey! Let's make up a day about love!" and did. And then left out all the lonely, nice people who don't have anybody. *growls*

Well, today my friends Sarah and Sarah (same name :D ) were saying: 'OMG. Only a week till Valentines Day!! I'm soo excited...'
They're kind of trying to get boyfriends...tis also a long story =] But they seem to be so excited about it...and I don't see the point, really.

It is WAY overrated. I can't stand Valentines Day, but I used to like it in elementary school because the principal made everyone who was brining Valentines bring one for everyone. So everyone got chocolate! ^_^
Now it's just all this commercial sh*t in high school, because all the pretty/popular kids are showered with things, and I'm just kind of like... o_O? Thanks. I'm bitter about it too, it's just another day for me. Except I'm slightly pissier than usual =)

Ugh. I know the feeling. Everyone has a sh*tty Valentine story. I suppose its a part of "growing up". Last year, this guy (very complicated story) IMed me on V-day morning. But we talked online everday anyway so it didn't matter. And then he was like "Oh and Sruti...will you be my Valentine?" just before he had to go to school. I wanted to say yes so bad but I didn't. Long story. But yeah. That sucked. And he's like, reallllly close to me and this year, he's being unbearable. Always going on and on and on about Haemi (his girlfriend) and making me feel all alone and stuff.
I'm happy for them cuz their both my friends, but between you and me, I want her to dump him so he will finally shut the hell up. I never had a boyfriend either and blew my first chance at having a Valentine.
I think I'm bitter.
