Some guy (I hate it when bloggers don't put their name anywhere on their own blog) extracted the valentines cards from a Simpson episode ("I choo-choo-choose you" and "Let's BEE friends") and posted them up so you could download them and print them out. Cute.

I gotta remember to do buy a $3 gift for my girlfriend, because I agreed to do so. The first step is to find out when Valentine's day is. Actually, the first step is to have someone remind me that Valentine's is tomorrow, and the second step is to panic. The third step is to quickly make a "homemade" valentines gift, and pretend it has more value than a $3 item that was merely bought in a store.

Last year, a bunch of Japanese girls invited me to spend "Anti-Valentines" day with them. This day happens to coincide with "Valentines" day, and consists of specifically not buying any cards, chocolates or flowers, and instead to go to bars and drink. The girls felt that Valentines days makes single people feel bad, which is why they celebrated anti-valentines day instead.

This only works because they are girls. If a bunch of guys (e.g. Kilree and GD) invited me to do some sort of anti-valentines thing, I'd decline, because that sounds a little gay to me. With the Japanese girls, I can at least console myself with "even though I am not having casual sex with these girls, I can hang around them in bars and give off the appearance that I am having casual sex with them." Such is the warping on male teenage minds by North American society.
