Seasons greetings America! That is a Christmas greeting but I don’t care. In case you live under a rock, and if you do then can I join you for today only; it’s Valentine’s day! The blossoms bloom, love is in the air, and my hope for love dies. I got chocolates and those Sweetarts heart candies from my Mom that say cute things, and I’m not even embarrassed about it. I also saw two people get pulled over walking to school today so that was fun.

Last Wednesday was the day you bring chocolates and a stuffed bear to your high school sweetheart, even though you guys might break up next week. This is what dreams are made of.  Am I just being bitter because I’m single? Of course not! Single Awareness Day is tomorrow so I have that to look forward to. Yay…

What you may know is that Valentine’s Day is the deadliest day of the year. I don’t know why, but I do know is that I read an article about it. I think they stopped Sing-O-Grams today, which brings relief to me, but probably stresses out others (who might need a Valentine’s day gift for their sweetheart who also doesn’t have anything for that said person.) I say, sweetheart [like it’s still in style] so at least I have that going for me. At Hunter, February 13 was the day for random people in a choir to show up in your classroom, pull you to the front of the class, sing and dance around you like they’re summoning Satan, and then give you a rose. Simply, I should just have bitter tattooed on my forehead because that’s all I am.

In love or hate, you still have to appreciate the holiday. If you have a sweetheart that you love so much you want to shout it from the rooftops then be my guest. I’ll probably mentally barf at the sight of it, but do what makes you happy. I’ll just have to watch my brother while my parents go out to dinner, so that’ll be fun. This isn’t really newsworthy, but it’s festive or whatever. Seasons greetings Hunter High!

Still a Christmas greeting, still don’t care.
