February 14

So, today is Valentine's Day huh...big deal?

To some people it's a yes, but for me, it's definitely a NO. IMHO, February 14 is just another day on the calendar!

Ok maybe I'm being too cynical. Too un-commercialised. :)

Logged onto MSN to ask for help from a friend and lo and behold, I received a few "Happy Valentine's Day" messages (much to my annoyance). I guess it's because a) I don't believe in it, and b) it doesn't mean a thing to me, so when these people greeted me with that, I reacted rather violently!

To quote dear Brandon, who kena the most (out of the lot) for wishing me Happy V Day...

"oh come on couzie, could you just, for the spirit of the occasion, accept my valentine's greeting? You're getting on my nerves!"

Ok, the last bit he didn't say but kinda implied it, no?

Another friend then said, "so, anything planned for tonight?"

I said yes.

He excitedly replied, "ooh, let's hear it (then inserted a very cunning-looking emoticon)"

"I'm going to watch the next DVD LoveFilm is sending me."

To which he said, "well, at least you're not as pathetic as I am, online-ing on Valentine's night."

Before I could say "I too am online on Valentine's Day so what is your point?", he intercepted with "but actually, it's not that bad, at least I get to celebrate V day with many more people."

Well said Cody, well said.

Later in the evening, I went and checked for my Lovefilm parcel. Was kinda hoping it won't be any romantic comedies but as luck would have it, they sent me Romeo and Juliet.

Cupid, is that your doing? What, sending me a teaser before the real thing?

Well, you better act fast because I'm soon going to be suing you for negligence. I have a few friends nearing the end of their law degrees so you watch out!
