V-Day blues

And it isn't just because my paper is late... I generally dread today, and am usually left feeling inadequate, bereft, or both. Gestures are confused, dinners are disastrous, and I always forget something or someone. All for a commercially-manipulated holiday... sigh.

Well, my V-day has passed me by, and I'm feeling all of the above angst. This was not a day that I enjoyed. Doesn't help it that in Japan, its only girls who are suppose to give chocolate to boys so I was surrounded by most of my male colleagues getting a bounty of gifts from my female students (my school has about 80% female students).

Ohhhhhhhhh...I'm sorry you're feeling that way...is there anyway for you to sit down and maybe write your love/loves a sincere letter? I don't know your romantic or relationship habits, but a sincere letter from a love's heart is genuinely romantic and makes a wonderful keepsake...it also allows some time and space to edit and hopefully make an authentic presentation...and cuts down on the commercialism too...I hope your Vday experience is better this year than in the past....

V day blues.

Brian,
Vday is a tough time. Big hugs. You are sincere in your loving and that is the best valintine any person could ever get.T

*smooch*

And having an SO that continually forgets V-Day doesn't help either. Sorry.

*hugs* If I were there, I'd come and sweep you off your feet, and I wouldn't use chocolate, either. *grins*

Are your loved ones people who need an observation or recognition of Valentine's Day? It might help to sort those to whom it matters from those who couldn't give less of a whit.

I am sooooo glad I'm out of town this V-Day. (Just about to leave for the airport, in fact.) Yay!
