Apparently it's that time of the year for yet another over commercialized holiday. It's Valentines Day! Or VD day, but when put that way sounds like a venereal disease. It's cold, hallmark is making a killing, people are getting reminded that they're alone and pitied... let's celebrate shall we?
At my place of employment I've seen quite a few flowers and chocolates being sold. By flowers I mean the bouquets that cost the poor man a cool 50-100 dollars. I mean sure flowers are nice and all, but why pay that much for what will only last a few days? Oh right, because the media and advertising says we have to. Riiiiight. Forgot about that part. Sigh.
Don't get me wrong, I like the holiday's aspect of getting to spend a more special day/evening with someone you care for. It doesn't have to be a boyfriend or girlfriend. Could be a close friend, family member or just doing something for yourself because you took the time to care. I just don't see spending your entire paycheck on a single vase of flowers that won't last past Tuesday at best. Hmm, people always told me I was a weird girl, I guess they were right since I'm not harassing my boyfriend like most girls would be at this point.
