five thousand shades of blue
Thursday, February 14, 2002
I always identified very strongly with Charlie Brown, even though my favourite Peanuts character has always been Snoopy. Never was that more apparent than on Valentine's Day. That's not to say that I never got a single valentine ever, because that wouldn't be true and would surely minimize how important the sincere ones were to me. In grade school especially, most of the ones I got were clearly the result of a well-meaning mother; ordinarily "they" would never have given me the time of day. Because, you know, insincere valentines hurt so much less than getting nothing at all. Right. Not bitter. :)
If you don't have a Valentine
per se, take this opportunity to let
someone close to you know that you love them.
As a slight tangent, there is a special place in hell for companies that send spam in the guise of a Valentine greeting card. At least I hope so.
[edited later to convert to actual grammatical English. I should not write entries before noon.]
is
this just not enough…?
