Stereotypical Blog About How Much I Hate Valentine's Day

Just kidding, the title is misleading. I'm actually not the hugest fan of this Hallmark-created "holiday" for various reasons, but that's not what I'm going to talk about. You've all heard the anti-Valentine's Day story before, so there's no reason there should be another blog to berate it.

I always prided myself on how independent I was. I told myself that I wasn't worried about having a boyfriend, but at the same time, there was always a guy on my mind. And you know what? It never worked out with that guy, and I used to do stupid little things to get a guy's attention, like pretend I like some weird-o band that he likes. (Sometimes it worked out well - a la The Decemberists - and sometimes it didn't - Sunset Rubdown.... huh?!)

I just decided that I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'm young, and I don't need the stress of who likes me and who doesn't. I have the rest of my life to date, so I'm just going to take the time to be Amanda. No worrying about boys or dates or blah blah blah. This may change tomorrow, but this is what I'm doing now.

ANYWAY,

I just got back from my "date" with my roommate. We got crepes. It was awesome. So to everyone else out there - in a relationship or not - have a great Valentine's Day, and have a good time spreading the love around.
