I forgot Valentine’s Day
18 Feb
I missed Valentine’s Day this year.
It wasn’t until I read the blogs of my Internet friends that I was reminded of the fact. By then, Valentine’s Day had already passed.
I don’t make it a point to “celebrate” Valentine’s Day. However, in the past, it was the anniversary of MFL and I, so it was always announced with suitable fanfare. Even after I broke up with MFL, Valentine’s Day has never gone unnoticed (despite my feeble protests). I have always received attention from a gentleman on Valentine’s Day, short-lived as some of those attentions were.
This year was the first Valentine’s Day where I received nothing. No phone calls, no roses, no chocolates – not even a heart-shaped card.
You’d think I’d be disappointed, since one of my New Year resolutions was to spend this Valentine’s Day with someone I was actually interested in. And I am – a little disappointed – now that I think about it.
But I didn’t even notice.
This year’s Valentine’s Day coincided with Chinese New Year, which is a much more important event to me than Valentine’s Day. I was so concentrated on Chinese New Year festivities that I completely forgot about Valentine’s Day. All the better, it seems, considering the circumstances.
Instead, I celebrated Chinese New Year with an abundance of good food and good cheer.
I may have missed Valentine’s Day, but I don’t miss it.
I may have missed Valentine’s Day, but I don’t miss it.
love that line.
even tho i had a date this v-day…i STILL hate Vday. I’m bitter for always making me feel inadequate when i was single. and no amount of lovey dovey vdays will ever make up for it…down with vday!
Valentine’s Day is overrated anyway… LOL
Meh, Valentine’s is overrated, and I’ve spend many of them alone. I always tend to do nice things for myself on V-day. Having a guy is nice, but not the most important thing.
Overrated it may be, but this WAS the first year I had a boyfriend to spend it with :3
Although because of New Year’s we couldn’t go out. Poo.
Still. :3
Huzzah! You had a wonderful time, for a reason important to you, and it wasn’t tainted by disappointed (though perhaps a mere trifle so after the fact.) Sounds like a winner to me. :)
