V-Day Recap
Feb. 17th, 2007 06:54 pmIt was Valentine's Day this week. Although this is not the worst day of the year for me, it's probably in the top ten.
The problem with Valentine's Day is not the couples (a category which I either have the fortune or misfortune to be absent from), but rather the singles. Particularly the young singles. Particularly the young, desperate singles.
For some reason, Valentine's Day send certain people spiraling into the pit of despair. They become desperate enough to hang out in bars in the seedier side of town (the kind of places where the only effective pickup line tends to be 'How much?'). Deperate enough to drink themselves into oblivion and then cry themselves to sleep until their pillow. Desperate enough to flip through their copy of the Ars Magica until they get to the chapter labeled "Things That You Should Never, Ever Try" and skip to the section on love magic.
Which is generally where we have to come in.
