I am sitting here contemplating that it is already almost Valentines Day, again. It's not my favorite holiday because restaurants are crowded and everyone has all of these false expectations of romance and love. I also have personal reasons for ignoring Valentines, my rl birthday is on the 18th and Valentines distracts everyone around me from the real holiday of the month. I would rather have a better birthday gift than to have Zak spend money on flowers and stuff for Valentines and then do it again the next week. Ok, my selfishness aside, there are some good things about the holiday of love.
SL seems to do a good job with Valentines. Everyone breaks out their best t-shirts with candy conversation hearts, chocolate, and teddy bears. There are also usually some good freebie hunts. You can actually dress up as cupid in SL and not look entirely stupid. If you give your favorite person flowers, they won't die and look bad in a few days. And there are some really romantic clubs to go to for a nice evening of slow dancing and snuggling. SL is also great because you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a really special night.
If you don't have a special someone there also usually a lot of anti-valentines parties going on too, so you can commiserate with everyone else about how the holiday sucks. And who knows, you might meet someone and bond over your distaste for Valentines.
I think I need to quit while I am ahead on this post. Have a wonderful week, and have fun next weekend.
