Valentine's Day for the Single :)

Well my friends, I was going to wait until after the 14th was over before I wrote anything, but i've gotten some late requests for a new post, so here it is. Bear with me.

Ah, Valentine's Day. The lovey-dubby, holding hands wherever you go, time of year. Everywhere you go there are hearts and flowers lining pathways, and big stuffed bears left on doorsteps...
Now, let me draw you a little picture of what this day looks like for the currently single:

You wake up, it's a Friday morning, and if you're lucky like me, you don't have school. The sun glistens through the window, dancing off the walls of your room. You hear a bird lightly chirping in the distance and you smile, reassuring yourself that today will be a good day. You spring out of bed ready to greet the world, but you stop. Horror strikes you as the calendar hanging on your wall stares back you, snickering in your face.
A scream builds in your throat and you hurriedly scramble to get back in bed. Pulling the covers tightly over your head you try to calm your breathing, not sure if you will survive through the next 12 hours. It's that time of year. That horrible, awful time of year. It's.... it's.... Valentine's Day.
The sheer thought of it sends a shiver up your spine. You peek out from under your covers at the world around you.
The light coming through your window, once looking so inviting to your tired eyes, now casts menacing shadows. The laptop sitting on your dresser stares back at you from across the room, it's black face giving an invisible grin. "Come, come see the joy the world is having!" It calls to you.
The fear wells up inside you bigger than it ever has, growing more with each device you turn to. The laptop, the phone, even the radio has betrayed you! This festering disease of... of... lovey-dubbyness is everywhere! The hearts, the candle, the giant stuffed bears and singing cards. The chocolates, candies and romantic movies....
The bright room turns grey, and here you decide: there will be no going anywhere today.


Well my friends, I hope you enjoyed that little snipe. Anyway, Happy February! :)
