As many of you know, Valentine's Day was on Wednesday. This is the day of the year where the lovers of the world unite and celebrate their love with heart and candy and lingerie and a lot of pink stuff. On the other side of the coin, those of us who remain eternally single do our best to go through the day making it seem like we're indifferent to the whole thing when in actuality we're insanely jealous and bitter about it all. Not exactly my favorite day of the year. Nevertheless, I decided to keep a running diary of the proceedings. Read at your own risk.
8:30 - Roll out of bed and put up an anti-Valentine's Day away message, and feel better about myself for a minute.
9:15 - Leave for class while putting on my moody face and iPod. On the iPod? The Smiths, of course. (Note: This is subject to change depending on whether or not classes were canceled on Wednesday. Remember, I'm writing this on Tuesday.)
9:30-10:45 - Spend my class time contemplating whether or not I should sport some Robert Smith-esque eyeliner and lipstick, then decide that that's probably not the best idea; but the decision is made to keep The Cure on stand-by for listening later in the day.
11:00-Noon - Come back to my room for a nap because life is oh so difficult and I can't stand having to be awake and deal with this cruel, cruel world! Oh the humanity!
12:30 - Lunch. Easy Mac. Yum.
1:00 - Start listening to Morrissey, because he sings about how I feel and I can relate to his lyrics. Kinda like how some kids feel about My Chemical Romance, or Fall Out Boy, or Panic! At The Disco, or other emo bands. (Note: Not all emo is bad. Just new emo.[Note: Four words: Sunny Day Real Estate]).
3:30 - I can't do my homework! Life is too dreadful! Why can't I be loved?! Why am I not good enough?! Oh the humanity!
4:00 - Actually, yeah, I think I'm gonna get my homework done. Besides, not like I have anything else worthwhile to do.
5:30 - Dinner. Easy Mac. Yum.
