The Objective Collective

Your source for slant;

A friend of mine wrote this to me the other day. Since Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it’s definitely something I dislike and would rather not speak of, it would probably be best if I share what someone else thinks of it – not that they show any mercy either. Some of you may identify with her account.

I have been reminded recently that Valentine’s Day is around the corner. And with it will come either the same old annoyance, or something unexpected will happen and make me hate it less this year. In any case, indifference is not an option, Why is that you ask? Well see, Chuk, I am a girl and for that ridiculous and gender biased reason, Valentine’s Day gives everyone who knows me a warrant to interrogate me as to my dating status. Don’t ask why that is, I won’t pretend to comprehend; But come Valentine’s Day, every grandparent, great-aunt or relation of any kind will phone me to whish me a happy Valentine’s Day when their real, and more vile, purpose is to find out whether I’m seeing someone and if not, why ever not? Therefore, I wouldn’t have to hate valentines day so much if is didn’t have to associate with anyone at all.
