Valentines Day.
You know, I understand it's just a holiday invented to make money between The Big Ones, piggy-backing on a historical theme.
But I'll admit that while I don't give it too much attention, I do enjoy all the reminders it gives us to tell those we love "I love you" every day. Regardless.
I was annoyed just now though.
An acquaintance of mine was bitching about how she has gone "ignored" yet again this year.
Yet this same person bitches about how the holiday is fake and just makes the greeting card and candy industry more money.
Bitches about it all year, and when her husband asks if she want's to do anything for V Day, she bitches about it more.
The poor guy ends up just confused and afraid, and ends up not bothering.
I wouldn't bother either if that's the way my partner acted.
Then when the day rolls around, she expects to get something. Candy and flowers and sparkly things.
WTF?!?
Heh, well, she didn't get any of it. Not even a "Happy Valentine's Day".
He was probably afraid he'd get his head bitten off for even breathing the sentence.
Well, she didn't get them again this year...and she's whining and in tears, YET STILL BITCHING ABOUT HOW MUCH SHE DESPISES VALENTINES DAY and what it stands for.
What do you expect, you hypocrite!
Wow.
She is not a bad person, but she can be hard to be around sometimes.
A typical case of the self-loathing individual, she gets defensive when faced with truth, and is ill-equipped emotionally. Add to that a horrible lack of personal discipline and the ability to act her age, and you have a classic example.
On that note; she also has a bad habit of attacking other women who are thinner than her. Not like Kate Moss, but just smaller than *her*.
You know the type; sees a photo of anyone hight-weight-proportionate and says they need to eat more or that they are "emaciated". Gee, that must make me a bulimia case in her eyes.
It's maddening.
Another quip of hers that got me the other day;
she was saying how she might have worked herself "too hard" at the gym recently, because (and I kid you not) she had "broken a sweat".
O_o
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN YOU CRAZY WOMAN! It's called BURNING CALORIES and PHYSICAL ACTIVITY!
You could use more of it so you don't die of a heart attack, or heart disease, at age 40.
