Be my Valentine!

Everyone's a lost romantic
Since our love became a kissing show
Everyone's a Casanova
Come and pass me the mistletoe
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone....
Switchfoot, 'Easier Than Love'

HOW TO BE COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY DESPERATE THIS VALENTINE'S DAY:

1) Sit around and complain, mope and gripe about how you are x years old, and single for yet another Valentine's Day. Life is just a trial sometimes, isn't it?

2) Check your mobile phone for text messages from him/her. Maybe he/she really will message. Hopefully?

3) Forget all about the fact that you are loved unconditionally by God. Insist that the most important thing you can receive on this day is a tacky red, white and pink card in the shape of a heart. INSIST!!!!

4) Check your mobile phone again. Still no messages? Oh well.

5) Go and sit in Queen St Mall and watch couples stroll by hand-in-hand. Mourn the fact that there is no-one sitting next to you - except that strange old bloke with his cigarette.

6) While you're trying not to become a passive smoker, check that mobile again.

7) And again.

8) Once more.

9) Debate whether or not you are going to message/call/prank him/her.

10) Chicken out.

11) Buy yourself flowers and chocolates and then stuff yourself sick with them (the chocolates, that is........heck, if you're that desperate, then the flowers too :-p )

12) Call all your single friends. Have a whinge-fest.

13) Say "I'm going to die alone! With cats!" several times, to your mother.

14) Listen to sad songs over and over again.

Disclaimer: These are all things that will help to make your Valentine's Day experience worse than it usually would be. If you don't want that, I suggest trying the opposite ;-) *especially about that eating the flowers thing :-s *
