I have to wrap a bajillion thorny rose bouquets each year on V-Day as part of my day job. I have never been in a romantic relationship in my LIFE. I have little to no interest in even starting a romantic relationship. I should hate it on principle and yet... naw. This day is just too cute to me, plus it keeps the floral businesses going year after year. Well, that and Mother's Day. Yay?!? Plus there are things like Palentine's or Galentine's to be good to yourself and/or your single friends. Just treat yourself, fam!!
St. Patrick's Day on the other hand... woof. Irish people, Irish culture and Ireland itself are pretty friggin' great but the holiday in the US is just an excuse for Americans (even those with not so much as a smidgen of Irish heritage) to act like total drunken a-holes. I'd rather use it as an excuse to watch The Secret of Kells every year?! Or any good Irish flick, honestly.
Sigh. Sorry, I'll stop now, this is a Valentine's post. The world needs more love anyway.
