I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for me to blog today as I did promise a most entertaining entry. Why so late you ask? Well...honestly...I decided that it would be best if I waited until the end of this blessed day to blog...just in case my knight in a Polo sweater and well fitting jeans decided to show up at my door with some sort of ridiculous display of affection for me (roses...chocolates...new car...whatever he sees fit) and change my opinions on this fabulous holiday. Well...the man that is supposedly destined to adore me didn't show up this year to sweep me off my feet and moreover my cynical soapbox...so never to fear Super Fans...the blog will be as Sarcassistic as ever.
On with the list!
1) First and most important, we single people get to wear sweatpants alllllllll day on Valentine's Day without disappointing anyone. So while all you "happy" people are out in your binding little black dresses...us single gals will be ridin' cozy in our oversized elasto-pants. Glamorous? Maybe not...Truthful? As honest as Abe himself.
2) The flowers you get? Yeah the beautiful, fragrant expressions of adoration...they were perfectly happy in the ground with their little flower families before they were brutally kidnapped and tortured into a hideous vase to die on your nightstand...feel bad coupled people....fell very very bad.
3) We are totally entitled to watching a violent slasher movie...who needs the notebook? The bloodier...the better.
4) I know most of the women preparing for dates tonight used an unreal amount of product to get their hair to be just right...All that hairspray you used to keep your Bump-it at the perfect height put immense holes in our O-Zone. The aqua-net might as well suffocate me in my sleep...us single people are trying to breathe here...Although I'm sure the people sitting behind you at the theatre trying to enjoy the sappy movie you all payed too much to see were most assuredly pleased with the extra teasing and elevation of your fro...your date could care less...lay off the aerosol people.
5) I, along with all other single women not participating in tonight's events, don't have to waste time with the absurd practice of shaving our legs....I get to spend an extra 10 mins doing much more productive things...like laundry...and my sweatpants keep my limbs securely covered making me totally unaware of the amazon growing on my lower appendages.
5) The precious cards that bring you all to tears are made of paper...which I'm sure you all know....is made from trees....which I'm sure you know...provides our oxygen. Between the aerosol punctured atmosphere and the bare forests I'm starting to become short of breath...I hope that the moving Hallmark poem that 1,000 other people were just as touched by is worth the price of the oxygen tank you will soon be lugging around.
Sorry...I sound like an environmentalist...let's get back to the fabulous factor.
Bottom line...while you all are sipping your wine...batting your fake eyelashes...and crossing your shaved legs..I'm here representing the single life in my sweatpants...basking in all it's glory. I am hopeful though readers...as I'm sure all other women in the single species are...that one day we will join the V-Day perpetrators... However, this year....we're going to stay at home...in our SuperHero Sweats and do our part to save the world...
Enjoy your day Valentine's participants. Tomorrow starts the 364 day long celebration of the single life...
It's very very late....and I'm beyond exhausted from my day of lounging and eating Ben & Jerry's.
Your Fabulous Friend,
B.
