Valentine’s Day

The one day of the year that I’m happiest not to have a girlfriend on. I’ve never actually had a proper Valentine and, thus, have spent my life avoiding the headache of wasting $100 on bloody candies and flowers and hoping my girlfriend didn’t want a stuffed bear instead. I swear it’s the worst holiday and am thankful to have avoided participation this far into my life.

Speaking of getting far into my life, I had a birthday the other day – forgot to mention it on the diary. I didn’t do anything to celebrate. I could have asked some friends from class to do something, but I was too embarrassed to admit to them that it was my birthday and I didn’t have any plans. My best birthday present by far was Kate joining facebook and leaving flirtatious comments on my wall, though. Now all my facebook friends will doubtlessly see me as more desirable.

I’m feeling a bit depressed tonight. I’ve had a good go at being more social, but I still have a permeating loneliness hanging about me. I still feel a little hopeless sometimes. Hopefully it’s just a passing sour mood. I suppose doing nothing for your birthday probably doesn’t help, though that’s more my own fault than anything. As are most of my problems, for that matter.
