Happy Pointless Day

14th February. Officially, the worst day of the year, the day of the year where people try desperately to hook up with their lifelong crushes by sending a perfume-covered card and a box of Milk Tray and then having their hearts broken when they realise she actually likes the good-looking guy from across the road..

I hate St.Valentine's Day. If you truly loved someone you wouldn't wait until the crummiest day of the year to show your thoughts but instead try every living day trying to make her notice you.. (or him..) There are never any original gifts either. Card, flowers, box of chocolates. Show me one person who has bought anything different, and I will officially shoot myself. Of course, there will always be the desperate person who will go out to a motorway service station especially to buy the cheapest and worst bunch of flowers, (or they may well be lumps of butter on stems), for £3.99. This makes me laugh..

I'm not jealous. I prefer being single because relationships are too much like hard work. Your partner expects you to be there with them 24 hours a day, 8 days a week and it's impossible for 4-5 months before the inevitable break-up. It does nothing but tire you out and make you upset when the time comes you can't take the sleepless nights anymore. Mainly because your girlfriend or boyfriend is texting you all night long and if you don't reply, you're in big trouble the next day. I'm much happier going for a pint and a curry at the local with mates to be fair.

So, what am I going to be doing you may ask? Same as I do every Sunday. Play football then straight after go out and referee it. Just like a normal Sunday. That's the way it should be. You can call me the "Scrooge of Valentines" or whatever the equivalent is, and then I will laugh in your face as your valentine eats all of the choccies you bought and then texted you saying, "thanks but no thanks". The amount of depressed people come Sunday night will be huge. I'm not doubting the day doesn't work at all. I'm sure there a few people out there who will find the love of their life tomorrow, but 99% of people won't. And rightly so. There's no such thing as Cupid firing an arrow at your ass, because it would bloody well hurt!

However, I must stop procrastinating and talk about me. I like talking about me. I have an interview on Tuesday. Valentine's will have thankfully passed and I will be in work come Wednesday night! I'm feeling strangely confident about this one and so I should be. It's only some IT Support company, but a job's a job. The Mittenmobile runs out of insurance in a week, so I desperately need money before I lose the love of my life!

4 minutes of this hellish day has passed.. 716 more to go...
