as i thrive not be a heartless person while i'm listening to a beautiful song ("We danced together") by the Rakes, i wanted to celebrate (!?) valentine's day with a warning to all of you out there;
Stand clear of hazard areas while your engine is still running!!!
"Of all the festival days to be gift-wrapped and shipped back to us wholesale from America, Valentine's Day has got to be the worst.You can guarantee that all the bars and restaurants will be packed with couples slurping at each other, clutching sweaty hands and oversized teddy bears with love hearts on their tummies. I can't decide whether it's worse being attached and expected to partake in the schmaltz, or single and surrounded by it all."
