So I turn to my LiveJournal friends page and see all the lovely Valen-hate going down. As you know, my Hypocritic Oath allows me to radically alter my opinion of Valentines Day at any time. I do so now in order to piss people off.

Naturally, I have a predilection towards cynicism when it comes to holidays that are pumped up by commerce in order to associate love with material goods and therefore drive the economy forward. However, to the people whining about Valentines Day on their blogs I must firmly and sincerely say, shut up! Seriously, is someone holding up a gun and saying that if you don't buy something that they'll shoot a dog? I doubt it. Are you afraid that if you don't buy something for your loved one, that they'll hate you because they don't understand that you're (a) poor or (b) opposed to celebrating your relationship with gifts? Well, then you probably shouldn't be with that person in the first place! And lastly, I don't need an excuse to treat my lover like a goddess, but dammit, given the opportunity, I'm gonna take it!

So Angela and I went to dinner last night at a nice little local Italian restaurant and shared a bottle of red wine. We talked the whole time. We walked home in the rain. When we got back we you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish. And then we you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish you wish absolutely amazing actually, this part you probably don't want to hear about almost broke my totally censored. What's wrong with you, sicko? Seriously, do you think I'd post that? My MOM read this blog. Just don't, K?. Then we went to bed, exhausted.

It was basically the best Valentines Day I've ever had. EVER. And yes, I did BUY something for Angela, but I didn't break the bank and she likes it. Our love doesn't hinge on commerce. Ask her to show it to you next time you see her.
