V'day!

No, no, no people. The title was no typo for the generic greeting of, "G'day".

I'm talking about VALENTINES DAY!

You know how it's the one day of the year where everybody get's this anticipated anxious feeling that they actually have to get a present. It's all like, "OMG!!!! I forgot to get her/ him a present!" or "Oh *sugar*! Valentines day is tomorrow aye? Oh well...another card should do..." and then the find out their significant other doesn't want another freaking card, they wanted a box of chocolate.

Hehehe...but seriously! Here's some excuses I come across and two-way meanings that come with the only commonly celebrated holiday:

- "No gift's this year...let's just invest in our time together."

• This generally means they're either broke or the secretly have something planned.
• When you get comment, make sure you're ready to be spending the night smiling at each other or spending it doing something that you're totally not prepared for.

- "Why do I have to give her/him anything? He's/ she's got me!"

• It's alright for married couples I suppose, what else have they got to live for? Valentines Day for them is just another day on the calendar.
• But for those of you who are dating, just take heart when they say that, at least you know they're thinking about giving you something anyway.

- The good old "home-made" card.

• This card is the mark of either two things: 1. They totally made it with the hopes you'll notice every single detail or 2. They completely forgot it was the big "V'day" and knew they could still "call you theirs" without you every finding out.
• Nevertheless it's better than getting nothing right?
