V-day
I hope you have a great V-day.That having been said, I personally don't like V-day. Never have and I'm not sure if I ever will. It's very exclusive and is designed to make people feel inadequate if they are in a position that doesn't allow them to celebrate. That's pretty crappy if you ask me.
I prefer the all inclusive holidays (and I use the term lightly) like halloween, mardi gras, new year's eve, heck even super bowl sunday with all of it's pagentry. Anyone can celebrate those holidays if they choose and they're great. You don't have to worry if someone is jewish or hindi or anything else (and yes, I used examples that are personal) before you determine what sort of card to send (from the 'merry christmas' box or the 'happy winter holiday' box). And you don't have to worry about upsetting anyone if you have a halloween party and call it a halloween party. It's very refreshing.
I am actually feeling very good about myself lately because I am not judging myself because I don't have someone to make an 'us' with. So V-day can just kiss my very big butt. I refuse to let it bring me down.
If I thought there were more than two people that ever read this I would tell you to be happy and remember, it's just a greeting card day designed to put pressure on people in relationships to prove something to each other, thus showing that they are somehow better than the rest of us. Which they aren't, but it doesn't hurt to let them think so if that's what they need to feel good about themselves.
