Nowadays I like to stay one step ahead of them by saying I quite like the idea! What better idea than to have a day that's all about telling that special person how you really feel? And sure there are plenty of couples who are passed the magic and excitement of a brand new relationship so can take comfort in being bitter and resentful, and good for you lot who hate valentine's day, but there is no need to share this sad info with the rest of us! For a lot of single people it's the one day of the year you can pull off saying what your heart really feels, with only about 75% of the embarassment afterwards!
My own day has mainly been taken up with work in the morning, killing time this afternoon, and delivering pizzas in the evening. This evening has also been spent taking care of a certain sad-case friend who just sends texts composed mainly of "OMG I'M SINGLE AND IT'S VALENTINES DAY! HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS COMING?! WHY DOES NO MAN WANT ME?!"
I've run out of Coke, and this Vodka + Sugar-free Lemonade just isn't the same :(
I've also invested in a new candle, as my supply has been getting low of late. It's a garden-style one that weighs a couple of kilo's. It provides the light and warmth I need on a cold winter's night.
Mmmm I do love me some Hula-Hoops! Also Creme Eggs are the bizniz! It's an absolute travesty they don't sell them all year round (hands up who only learnt this recently?) I was paying for some petrol and they were just sitting there...all 'on offer' and whatnot! I couldn't help myself!
So as I'm spending this evening in moral reflection rather than tarting myself like a whorish teen and trying to get with some 'lad' who can get me pregnant so I don't have to do anything with my life! GOD! - anyway as I'm spending this evening in moral reflection I'll share with you another story I read about in the paper.
There was this bloke and he basically lived off the money he got from the government because he was so skilled he could get two women pregnant multiple times and have 17 children altogether. In recognition of his acheivement the council gave him a house where he, his wife, his mistress, and all his children could live quite happily. According to word on the street both his women were cleaners and all their wages went straight into his bank account. Also he had a bit of wood that he would use to keep them in line.
I know what you're thinking - what a lad!
Anyway the reason this stuck in my head was because I THINK I remember reading about this human being was because he was in the news several years about complaining about the council not giving him a big enough house for him and his massive amount of offspring. They should have done what they did in the olden days and put them to work in the mines! Thanks a lot for that Thatcher!
So as I was saying this time he was in the papers because basically he'd burned his own (well, the council's) house down in a plan to frame his runaway mistress with arson, and stupidly he'd forgotten 6 of his children were in the house asleep at 3am in the morning!
So he's getting done for 6 counts of manslaughter, along with his wife who helped mastermind the plot! Still, at least in prison he'll get the free meals and accomodation he's become accustomed to!
On that cheerful note I wish you a happy valentine's day!...and according to google, the 154th birthday of George Ferris!
