*But it tears me up inside just to think we still could try. How long must we keep runnin' on a carousel?* -B&DI'm probably going to annoy and/or piss people off with this entry, and that's fine. I wouldn't post it if it would stop bothering me, but it's like one of those annoying mosquitos in the summer following me around saying, "Sara, you have to post about how irritating it is when people get married on Valentine's Day!" So I will.It's irritating. To me, anyway. It's so trite. Boring. Insipid. Uninspired. I don't even celebrate the damn holiday, and I think if Ben ever said, "O, forget our anniversary, let's get married on Valentine's Day," first I would laugh in his face and second I would go off on a rant not unlike this one until he hated me so much he wanted to punch me in the face. [Actually, he probably would just subject me to his music for an hour or two and call it even.]
I don't know where this obsessive hatred of anything VD related came from, but I think it has something to do with me being a romantic and finding the idea of prompted romanticism irritating. This is probably why I find it obnoxious that people get married on VD. I mean, get married on the 101st day of the year [April 21], or the 202nd [July 31], or the 303rd [November 9]...get married on Fat Tuesday, for fuck's sake [I bet there's plenty of people who do that, too. You better not be one of 'em!] But do not get married on Valentine's Day!
I hear that Dland is down now, so I'm going to go paste this into an email and continue to laugh at how funny my doightybird and Monica are.
I heart my friends.
