hey, it's february. yay february!

actually, feb hasn't really ever been that good to me (it's cold! brrrr!). plus, when i'm single it's a constant reminder that i am single. the barrage of red and pink in the form of roses, boxes of heart-shaped candies, shiny "i love you" balloons, hallmark cards, and all that silliness. it's the aisle i go to great lengths to avoid when i'm in a supermarket and it's all ridiculous because i don't even like valentine's day. even if i were with someone all that crap that i guess i'm supposed to like just doesn't mean that much to me. sure, i like flowers and would like to get some for a change but not the humdrumitty of red roses. i'd actually prefer a potted plant so that it could actually live longer than 3-4 days and not depress me once the petals started sloughing off and turning brown. a homemade card/drawing or a potted plant...yup, i'd probably get teary-eyed and definitely say, "awwwww"...moreso if it weren't valentine's day.



i think i'm actually more excited about groundhog's day each year. what a goofy celebration. i love it. it's basically a day where people poke at a groundhog which somehow equals a weather prediction. it's so stupid, it's great. poor little sleepy animal. i know i hate being awakened from a restful slumber but i can't imagine how it might feel to be awakened and held up in front of a crowd of thousands in the cold, televised, and shoved back into a cage wondering what the hell just happened.

the drawing is cute. the real life picture is rather frightening.

i will eat your brains!
and all your valentine's day candy!
