Valentine's day
a silly day named after MARTYRED saints (how romantic?!) characterized by sending cards and rendered utterly meaningless in its very nature because everyone is doing the same thing therefore there is little to no feeling of individual special love, quick quick try and get a table booked on valentines, everyone else is tryine and we can all sit in a fully booked restaurant with a communal sharing of individual love+weird.
also famous for: a massive massacre in a garage.
as they say in pakistan "a shameful day. The people in the West are just fulfilling and satisfying their sex thirst" I am now becoming an Islamic fundamentalist. bloody sex thirst. least sexy day of the year more like.
i can't remember any valentine's days at all. can anyone else? i've had a boyfriend for almost all of the ones in my adult life and i literally can't remember any of them, the only one i can remember is the one from when i was single and that is only cause i was made to go to a sushi restaurant and i hate all sushi, so i was very hungry/pissed all night and i had EXCELLENT shoes on. FUCKING BRILLIANT ones.OH and i remember one other one that's cause it was made into a big deal by my beau at the time and was inevitably very disappointing. that's it, it's like my mind barrels have been scraped clean.
ANYWAY as i was saying, which is better, valentine's day, aforementioned mass-hysterical personal-impersonal let-down fest in memory of dead men OR, PANCAKE DAY only 2 days later this year. Day devoted to eating batter in a communal gathering and discussing the merits of classic toppings such as sugar and lemon or more outrageous ones such as spinach and bloody ricotta! pancakes for brekky, for tea time for firsts and for pudding! i know which is better! and you don't even need to go out and pay for the privelege, you can suprise your loved one before/after work with pancakes in bed and eat them together in a mirage of different ways in your pyjamas.
i know which one i would find more special.
