This is an attempt to have more content in this journal, because I really like the idea of this space.
In this journal, no more than once a day, and no less than once a week, I will post a thought or idea that holds my attention. This does not have to be a full-length analysis of the thought, as in thoughts on thoughts, but can develop into that if it seems useful.
Today's thought is: I hate valentines day. I'm disgusted by it. I woke up this morning with a twisty feeling in my gut, and the thought of all the people with their shiny red heart only made it worse. I know some people hate valentines day because they hate spending it alone and feel inadequate without someone to buy then flowers or whatever. I know other people hate the consumerism of it. Neither of those apply to me, though the first used to, back in middle school, before I decided being single was a silly idea. (I should look at that, shouldn't I?) The fake glitter of it all bothers Puppy (a friend who is either really distant or really close, and I'm never sure which), and that bothers me, too. I think that's the heart of it. And that is as much thought as I have time for today (heh, future subject).

it still sounds like a consumerism standpoint, but with a twist
not the fact that the companies are pushing for profit, but the fact that there's a schedule of events...am I reading that right? that there's this certain day when we're expected to be mushymushy blah blah blah.
--its really creepy how it just chose to have my name right there. just for the record, considering I've never used blogspot or ever commented or anything. strange.
It's google-based, thus your name.
And I don't think that's what I was saying at all, which is probably why I shouldn't post thoughts in short-form.
I think I meant to say that I object to the fake mushiness (which I usually do), the glamour behind pretending to all sorts of emotions not actually present. I object to the attitudes people feel entitled to on Valentines Day.
yeah...we're saying the same thing. for the record. just in different words.
