Happy Singles Awareness Day!

So, I promised I'd explain my hatred of today's holiday.

I guess hatred might be a little strong of a word, but it certainly does irk me a lot.

Firstly, this year V-Day has the same mark against it that Easter has always held for me: that of disease. And not just a little bug, but the kind of illness where you really just want someone to go out and hire Dr. Kevorkian for you and end the pain.

More to the point, Valentine's Day is a stupid concept. It's a day when you're supposed to buy gifts for your loved one, and be all romantic, etc. What makes it so special if everyone else is doing it? Worse, you're not doing it because you want to, you're doing it because this gridded paper hanging on your wall said to. Aw, how sweet, right? I mean, we'd all just be better off dating our calendars.

Furthermore, it's the utter commercialization of the most important emotion a human being can feel. Way to be materialistic, America, as well as UTTERLY shallow.
And you know when I'm criticizing the shallowness, it's time to be scared.

My mother is a romance author. You would think she'd understand where I'm coming from. But no, she doesn't. V-Day is the most important holiday for her industry, so I guess I get where she's coming from. But once more, she's benefiting off of the shallowness and materialism of a people who can't even buy flowers for someone they supposedly love without being told to by a box on a calendar!

You know, it's not even a holiday. The Catholic Church poo-pooed the whole thing years ago, because as it turns out the whole St. Valentine got hung legend is just that....a legend. Now the only memorable event that's happened on Valentine's Day is...right, a bloody massacre.
Just warms the heart.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hate this holiday. I'll post about why later....I have other things to talk about now.

Oh my God, you guys, I am so sick. I had a friend pick up Gatorade and Jell-O for me. She also brought over candied coconut, Vietnamese teas and noodles, and I don't even know what else. One of the guys on my floor is out getting me spoons and chicken noodle soup.

I should go to health services but I don't know if they're open. See, campus is actually closed today due to the snow. Health services is closed on weekends (they're stupid like that) so I don't know if they're considered "emergency" enough to be open. I don't have the energy to go to health services and then come back up three flights of stairs to get to my room without resting in between.
Now, before you rail on the complete stupidity of that (which, yes, it is completely stupid) I'd like to point out that we're two miles away from a professional medical facility. If you're in that rough shape, you go there.

Anyways, enough about that...let's talk about important stuff: my blog!!
I was looking at my Feedburner today...I have 16 subscribers, and only 5 of them are bots! Exciting!!!
I checked out the google searches leading to this blog. Sadly, none of them are bizarre or funny or weird. I'm so disappointed. I mean, Paul at least gets stuff about peeing and athlete's foot on his blog! I get "buttprints in the sands of time", which would be entertaining if I hadn't used that phrase.
I'm getting an average of 11 return visitors every day according to ActiveMeter. You know what that means? You like me, you really like me! I'm averaging about 90 page loads every day too (but at least 20 of those are me. :P)

So, I took this little ego boost of information and registered my blog on Best Gay Blogs.
It asked me if I had a logo. I don't. I know how to make or edit pictures. I'm prob'ly the least tech-savvy out of all of the bloggers on the 'sphere. Which is sad because I'm among the youngest, and shouldn't I be techier than you guys? Yeah, I should.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone wanted to make a logo for me? Pwease? :D
