No, 'Cai, you aren't alone. I co-assign Valentine's Day and all related activities, such as expected smooches, giving gifts, spending loads of money you don't have on people you should be appreciating year round, the fact that it's loosely translated to Singles Awareness Day and even though I'm not single, it's that much worse because of it.
You know why it's that much worse? Because you're apparently not allowed to loathe the romance holiday as passionately as I do when you have A Boy. You know why? Because your single friends (all of whom apparently love the lame teddy bears, chocolates, and flowers I'm allergic to anyhow) get mad at you.
I assign every person who asked me what I bought my guy for Valentine's Day and told me I was a bad girlfriend for refusing to participate in the stupid tradition. It's not even a sweet cuddly holiday in the first place. Saint Valentine + really violent death does NOT = ooh, let's cuddle.
No, 'Cai, you aren't alone.
