It's a day late, but oh well...

People of LJ! Are you sick and tired of Valentines*? Do you retch at the colour pink? Are you going to go on a homicidal rampage if you hear one more person say 'I wuv oo'?

Fear not, for help is at hand. I present: Tequilamas!

Happy drinking!

*If Valentine's Day was celebrated properly, with re-enactments of beheadings, Romans, and religious persecution, then I might like it. I wrote to Hallmark, but they didn't seem to like my ideas for cards - neither the 'you've made me lose my head' one or the 'since I met you, my heart will go Roman no more' one. Philistines.

The joys of being twelve(ish) hours behind is that I can still celebrate on the day of, even. XD

(Well, I really shouldn't complain about Valentine's Day. I spent a good part of it on my back. In the dentist's office, with four shots of novacaine, but details, details...)

I didn´t even realise it was Valentine´s Day (heard something about it from hormonal teenagers when I went to teach a class in high school, but then promptly forgot it again). The Roman persecution idea seems a good idea, though. I could even teach a class on that! ;)

Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday created to make people with partners buy stuff and people without partners feel bad. And before I had a partner I was like, 'This holiday is rubbish! It's crap! It's pointless! It's wrong! It's all wrong!'

But now I see that it's become a day, regardless of its very different origins, to actually take the time and say, 'Hey, I kind of like your company' to the person you're with. Because often with work and study and god knows what else, you kind of forget to do things like that. So it's nice in that respect, to take the time and tell someone why you like them and don't want to scream, 'Get out of my house!' every time they turn up or, 'Stop harrassing me!' when they call you incessantly.
