We all know about what a lazy, miserable excuse for a holiday this is. You don't even get the day off work and yet you have to plan and scheme and try and woo your significant o±er who, if your relationship is based on any kind of solid ground, gave up caring about large sweeping gestures a long time ago. Right? Okay, so maybe I'm a little anti-Valentine's Day. Maybe I've lost that loving feeling. Maybe it's gone, gone, gone, and I can't hold on. Oh, whoa, oh.

I suppose whole heterosexual thing, Valentine's Day takes way more than anything that I saw when I looked not, otherwise I'd probably be dating one of the on a whole new level of stress. Look everyone; in the mirror. I actually remember thinking that Backstreet Boys right now. I'm giving this ^trl a card. She's my valentine. Oh everyone must have this problem. That everyone in In any event, while I do recognize the ridicu yeah, this girl and me, we're a thing.
