Rather annoyed.

I feel an urgent need for angry chick music.

The thing I hate about Valentine's Day? The radio.
Not only does every single song have to be a sappy love song - thus taking away three quarters of the truly fun songs - but the radio people actually try to remember that, yes, some of their listeners might actually be single.

Which means you end up getting all these between-song comments from the radio announcers, such as:
And to all those single women out there, good luck! We hope you find someone.

Or:
For all you listeners who aren't in relationships, you should go out and enjoy Valentine's Day too. Who knows? Maybe you'll meet someone tonight!

Grrr...

Look, silly radio people: I like romance. I think it's fun. And sweet. And romantic. Go romance!
But that does not mean I am desperate to be in a relationship and weeping into my pillow every night over my tragic lack of a significant other.

Truthfully? I like being single. It has its good side. And as much as you think you're incredibly lucky, I don't spend my entire life horribly upset that I'm not Just Like You.

Please to be not treating me like a social leper who needs to be reassured that there's a bright side to my pathetic lovelorn existence? Thanks.



tl;dr - Go die in a fire, stupid radio people. I'm going to go listen to angry breakup music instead.



ETA: It has just been brought to my attention that my final sentence, while fairly standard internet angry-speech, is possibly not appropriate given the current bushfire situation. *facepalm*
My apologies.

trust me even if you have someone this does not guarentee you a lonely free v-day so if you are happy as you are then do that, not that i was in that first category this year, but i have been.

*nods*

And really, it's perfectly possible to have an exciting non-lonely V-day if you find other single people to hang out with...
