i kinda like valentine's day. i mean i don't despise it, and i like valentines themselves—they're really quite cool, combining as they often do bad puns with a certain style of artwork. last year i spent ages trying to find proper old timey valentines to give out but eventually i gave up and printed off a bunch of the red beret-ed rabbit and then cut them all out, which gave me scissor claw from holding the scissors for so long.
now one crappy thing about valentine's day is getting scissor claw from cutting out valentines for people and not getting a single one back. not even from your mother. like what the fuck.
and then of course the biggest crappy thing about valentine's day is having to see couples doing special coupley things and holding hands and going out for dinner and shit, because they think they have to, or whatever, or maybe they really do actually love each other and if you think i dislike couples being all coupley affectionate because i am secretly envious of their love well you'd be dead wrong. this is not a secret at all.
anyways, i give out valentines because i think it's nice and they're nice and there's always the hope that one year someone will remember to give me one.
so here's two songs for you and me and st. valentine on st. valentine's day. because love's simple, isn't it, just like the akron/family says.
akron/family - don't be afraid, you're already dead
the futureheads - hounds of love
