Honestly, it's kind of cool that Valentine's day makes your significant other happy, but I'm just so jaded about things that I can't get it out of my head that some asshole just trying to make money signed me up to have an entire day that's just about my girlfriend. As far as I can tell, it's in the nature of women that at random times, you have to spend entire days that are just about them anyway. A designated one seems unnecessary to me. Even though my girlfriend agrees with me that Valentine's day is manufactured and essentially meaningless, that doesn't enable me to stop celebrating it, or, for that matter, to get that "steak and blowjob day" thing, because "that's not a real holiday." Neither was Valentine's day, dammit, every holiday has to start somewhere.
