Thwarted Again.

I so wished to be a rebel on this day, like all the cool, hip folk.. (or whatever the kids are calling those qualities these days) this international day o love.. and boycott it, "celebrate" it in a anti it kind of way, or even an ironic, interesting, alternative way.. ideally ignore it completely but then I'd not get the affirmation of being so cool that I'm not into it by people who care either way, or better still the people who don't..

but I can't. I'm being positively harangued into going to this "dinner" thing, with this "partner" person, and it's going to be like "romantic" and stuff... lame..

in my defense it's.. er.. a not super expensive restaurant, and a vegetarian one, and I won't be buying or receiving (well maybe but I don't know at this point) any generic type pink or heart and flower themed Valentines day stuff.. (puts foot down, though having no money in the bank makes this kind of pointless) and.. er.. there'll probably be some monumental cockup.. which always happens whenever we try to be elegant and grown up and stuff. Obviously a sign that we're way too unconventional for that kind of stuff.. (ie super cool and hip or whatever the parlance is in these times)..

I'm looking forward to going for a drink afterwards.. oh wtf I'm looking forward to it altogether.

Guess what?

I'm not gonna whine. Not in this section anyway.

Yeah, I'm still probably going to be ruined, still living in this flat under ridiculous circumstances, still doing nothing of note in my life and all the rest of the bullshit.. but right now I don't care.

I'm having a visitor, who is coming in 3 days, the 14th, which is a very fitting date if you are the sort of person who observes the kind of minor capitalist holiday that bombards us with tons of pink plastic heart shapes and tacky underwear, which I'm not usually but this year I'll make an exception. Yes, he's that sort of visitor.

So I'm pretty happy right now.

*flutters off*

Happy minor capitalist holiday.

I love yoo'se all. Honestly. Truly, deeply, unconditionally. Even those of you I've never heard of. I was going to send you some chocolate but I ate it all. Sorry, my declaration of love is going to have to do.

Oh and as you all know, I'm a big dork when it comes to holidays and milestones and such, so make sure you check out my newest themed photos. That's if you've got nothing better to do.
