I Hate Valentine's Day

I Hate Valentines Day

Up until recently, I didn't hate this day. But I really should have, since historically, it's been a fairly awful time for me. This is why I have decided this year, definitively, that I hate this holiday. Here is a list of highlights (actually low lights):

• 10th grade - dumped by N ate Cor ddry, who is now acting in a Steven Spielberg/ Tom Hanks WWII miniseries (bastard)
• 12th grade- major snow storm so all plans had to be canceled. Sucked.
• Junior year college - stood up because guy was actually dating someone else
• First Senior year - Single, but also fractured my left wrist after falling on ice
• Second Senior year - crappy boyfriend made me cry and also would only get Subway for dinner
• 2002 - that was kinda funny actually. I was just starting to hang out with the person who would eventually be my boyfriend. I went to his sister's birthday party, had too much fun* and yacked in his father front lawn for the rest of the night. It was mortifying. I was just talking to him about that in September and he said, in front of his current girlfriend, "Yep. That's when I fell in love," which created a wonderfully awkward moment for all involved.
• 2003 - broke up with said boyfriend

All the other years have been either just fine or totally devoid of memorability - nothing ever special or significant. So eff this day, I say.

I'm excited for Feb 15, though. That's when all the V Day candy goes on clearance. Awesome.
