It was Valentine's Day Monday?

Hey guys!

Funny story: almost forgot to post...again...I really need to get better at this blogging business! (Sorry!!)

Anyways, Valentine's Day: the one day of the year dedicated specifically to a celebration of love. Doesn't that sound romantic? Well it wasn't.

I don't know if it's just because I'm not in a couple or what, but Valentine's to me seemed like just another Monday. I woke up early, went to school, missed a basketball game because my parents decided to drive out to the opposite side of town, watched some online videos, and then went to bed. The only remotely Valentine-y thing that happened to me was that one of my friends gave me a teddy bear. His sister had gotten him one as a joke which he decided to pass to me as he was hurrying down the hallway to get to class. It didn't have anything to do with love and romance and all that, but the teddy is really cute :P

So...yeah...Nothing special. And during Valentine's Day itself, I've had quite a few people give me quite a few views on the day: anything from "an amazing way to encourage love and expression" to "why do we even need a day for love anyway? Don't we love enough every day?"

I, however, think that there is nothing wrong with a little bit of positive encouragement. I mean, sure, some people may build Valentine's up a bit more than necessary, but really, to me it will always be just another day. The thing is though that amazing things can happen in any day, and February 14th may just be the gentle nudge to get that party started - Comparison: it's like school dances. Even though they can be awkward at the start, you know that there's potential to have LOTS of fun, but usually taking that step from standing around chatting to having a blast takes at least one friend's nagging to let yourself loose and just start the party.

Guys, Valentine's Day is that friend.

Of course, Bridget has her beau so I can't wait to read what she was up to :)

P.S. Considering it's extremely late at night where I am, please don't judge me if all that I wrote didn't make sense - I'm sorry but I need to sleep which means that this is not getting an edit read. G'night everyone :)
