Happy Single Awareness Day
There�s so many things I hate about Valentine�s Day..
Wanting to call a friend, but fearing that if the calendar happens to read February 14th, they might get the wrong impression..
Having to take into account the possibility that someone who asks you to go out with them that day might be looking for more than a friendly night out on the town..
Seeing pink balloons and teddy bears everywhere you go..
The commercialism that comes along and shoves expensive restaurants/gold jewelry/ fattening chocolates/ ugly stuffed animals/ tacky balloons down everybody�s throats..
The horribly shoddy decorations they put up at work..
But then again, there�s so many things I love..
They way it can bring about some really sweet ideas.
The fact that a few friends of mine have re-named it Single Awareness Day and throw parties in it�s honor.
The way I always seem to get flowers from at least one person even though I�ve never had a boyfriend on that day.
The way the red roses always dry into a lovely maroon/brown/black color.
The memories of perfect evenings with friends (some with benefits).
The emails that say things like, �BTW I miss you, I wish Tucson was Glendale.� or �Someday I�m gonna grow wings. That way I can see you whenever I want, no matter how far away you move.� or �My night was almost perfect. But I�d trade it all to have been able to go out dancing and drinking with you.�
