It’s that time of year again.

Time to go rushing out to show your significant other how much you love them by showering them with chocolates, flowers and sexy lingerie.

Because after all, nothing says I love you like saturated fats, dead vegetation and slutty underwear.

I’ve now come to the conclusion I just don’t do any of our modern “celebrations”.

They’re all too commercial, the sentiment is lost, and they’re just forced now.

Take today for example (take it, please!)

We’re told we have to do something special or our loved one will think we don’t love them.

Then shops the world over put up the prices of their flowers and chocolates. Not to mention the fact that greetings cards now cost an arm and a leg on their own.

Then you’re supposed to take your significant other out somewhere, so naturally every restaurant and food place is redesigned for couples (nobody else appears to be allowed out in public on February 14th). And again, they put their prices up just for the day, since everyone is so lovestruck they’ll never notice. :roll:

And I wonder why there’s more and more days of the year I just want to crawl into a hole and pretend I’m not associated with the human race!
