I Still Can't Remember What I Had For Dinner On Friday

Valentine's Day. A great day. Share the love. Spread the word.

I once delivered flowers on Valentine's Day. It was really alot of fun. You got to go out there, make people feel special. Give them something so that they feel loved. Put a smile on their faces. Today was nothing like that.

I've got a feeling that because the majority of people at my work are single that today was actually a bit of a downer. At least in comparison to other Valentine's Days I've had. I mean, there were no flowers delivered to the centre. No chocolates. No-one came in with hickies on their necks from a morning of passion. It was very disappointing. It also seemed like the responsibility was very much up to the males. When asked whether they had done something nice for their partner, the answer was almost every time a negative. This is very disappointing.

I believe Valentine's Day is pretty evil. It alienates alot of people. It puts pressure on alot of different groups. It sometimes feels as though it is just another opportunity for people to cash in. A little bit dodgy. Now, don't get me wrong, I believe that celebrating a relationship with a special someone is a wonderful thing. It's certainly something that should be shouted about, but I don't think that it should only happen on one day a year.

I've never proclaimed to be the world's greatest boyfriend. I was far from it. I did some horrible things. I did do some things right though. Or at least I think that I did. Perhaps I'm looking at the past with rose-coloured glasses on. Still, I think that we had some fun.

My favourite Valentine's day gift I remember was one that I received. It was a great big box full of jelly beans. I quite like jelly beans, and when confronted with so many I kind of lost the plot for a little while. I only ate jelly beans for as long as they lasted. I think it was about 3 days. I felt quite ill at the end of that adventure. A bit worn out. It was a good ride though, nothing beats a good sugar high, although the crushing lows are pretty rough.

That's about it. This is a bit of a nothing sort of post again, but the fact that I still can't remember what I had for dinner on Friday is really disturbing me. I've been thinking about it off and on all day. I remember that I was going to get a kebab after I left the supermarket, but I'd already bought something so didn't get one. Damn.... It'll come to me eventually.
