anti-vdayers unite
I have my reasons for the disgustI feel towards valentines day. Inevitably people feel obligated to buy shit. Pink shit. wasteful shit. hearts. Inevitably people feel a sense of expectation, curiosity, dissapointment. So we decided not to celebrate V-day. No expectation, no dissapointment, no WIERD, PINK, WASTEFUL shit.
My sister took another approach. She wore all black. [please note that we are both in very wonderful, secure, loving relationships]. She wore black with pride, with dark makeup. She went to work like this, and home and to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner.
The woman at the checkout counter gave a cheery 'happy valentines day!' to the customer in front of her. My sister jeered. a black cloud moved over the checkout stand. The checker rang up the food. it totalled $6.66.
Oh! said the checkout lady. Her composure faltered. my sister paid. 'have a good evening' she told my sister.
As she walked out the door, my sister bellowed with laughter. It probably sounded evil, but that is not at all how she meant it.
