Dido: "Thank You"
Valentine's Day. Tiina does not like. Tiina repulse all the cute pink-Goof-wöpöily in milk trade tarjousruusunippuja buy men (ARGH!), text messages from people, which hears only at Christmas, Midsummer and on Valentine's Day, and all the other days of futility. I, I just can not stand this day.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a cynical jerk who wants to spoil the joy of others. I am a little ignoramus, who were traumatized by SMS filed the coming Valentine's Day on the eve of high school. (It's like my first real boyfriend, you know.) I'm egocentric Urpo, who avenge their interpersonal situation by writing the most romantic day of such a text.
Hähää, what can you do?
You see, my dear friends, I think it is utterly extent, in any form whatsoever to think that friends are worth remembering only one day a year. You will understand that sicken me to the thought to get a man flowers just because they are at a convenience store offer Valentine's Day honor. Valentine's Day we went then to consider the friendship through the (Finnish atmosphere) or through love (American atmosphere), it is basically a ridiculous idea. I do not know about you, but I at least would like to receive text messages today, piling puolituntemattomilta people with whom I have not been involved, then the end of elementary school. I do not want to sit all evening watching the romantic sitcom and who knows what the Hollywood nonsense on TV, although I am alone. I have enough to get you familiar with this love that I know it's very much a creation of Hollywood and fairy tale. Ni.
Someone sometime somewhere (Note: an academic referencing system and an information reliable sources, and great lähdekritisointivalmiudet) said that every day should be Valentine's Day. I agree. That is why I want to start here and now, literally ystävänpäivävastaliikeen ! (And seriously I'm still not that I would plunge to set up a group up.: D) I have an LJ buddy's 35 mutual friends, blog list side to the whole two subscribers ('D), and I know something else to read my blog. So I guess to find 12 volunteers when I promise to write (and sends : D) a letter from Valentine's Day greeting to one friend each month 14 Valentine's Day to the next until . Hihkaiskaapa kommenttilootaan there (preferably with the name, if kommentoitte LJ's from the outside), if you want to receive mail from crazy Scandinavian philologist, and remember that I cry myself to sleep if I do not get 12 volunteers a couple of days. ;)
be honest, it is indeed forced to admit that I myself have planned for this day a little cleaning up, some school stuff and a lot of the quality of interpersonal drama, the BBC's "Pride and Prejudice" form. Includes a chocolate ice cream and whipped cream. Pitäähän the cynical Tiinojenkin even trying to convince himself that whatever can be found in it's own Mr. Darcy. ;)
In other words, therefore, happy Valentine's day to all of you wonderful people! I do not really remember to say it often enough, but you're just the best. ♥
The Original.
Valentine's Day. Tiina does not like. Tiina is disgusted by all this pink cuteness, men buying cheap roses at the groceries (ARGH!), text messages from people you have absolutely no contact with, and all Such nonsense That Seems To Come Along with the 14th of February. I quite simply cannot stand this day.
Yes, yes, I know. I am a cynical idiot who wants to spoil the fun for everyone. I am a little jerk who was traumatised by her very first boyfriend dumping her with a text message on the Valentine's Day's Eve. I am an egocentric bugger who revenges her messy relationship status by writing this kind of text on the most romantic day of the year.
... What are you going to do about it?
You see, my dear friends, I find the idea of remembering your loved ones – whether it be your friends or your significant other – just one day of a year quite horrible. I would never accept a bunch of roses from a guy just because he feels like he MUST buy them because it is Valentine's Day. I don't know about you guys, but personally, I do not wish to get a million text messages from half-strangers today. I do not wish to get salt rubbed in my wounds by the television airing godawful romantic comedies and whatnot. I have researched this love thing enough to know that it is mostly a Hollywood creation, a fairy tale. Just so you know.
I once heard someone say somewhere (notice the über-academic attitude, as well as the reliable sources and the incredible source criticism of a person studying information studies) that every day is supposed to be Valentine's Day. I full-heartedly agree. And this is why I intend to start an anti-Valentine's day movement , right here and now. I have enough readers so that I should get twelve volunteers, when I promise to write a letter, a valentine of a kind, to a friend on the 14th of each month until the next Valentine's Day. Leave a comment, in case you want a weird little letter from a weird little Tiina, and do remember, that I am going to start crying, if I don't get the twelve volunteers within a few days.
And to be perfectly honest, I have to admit, that I am going to spend the evening by watching BBC's "Pride and Prejudice" with a bowl of chocolate ice cream and lots of whipped cream. Even the cynical Tiinas need to try to make themselves to believe that there is a Mr. Darcy out there for them, too.
To put it another way, I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day! I should tell it more often, But Truly you guys are the best. ♥
