COLOR ME AMBIVALENT

Tomorrow is V day. . . As my friend calls it, 'chick appreciation day' - (finally, a guy with brains). On the one hand, I am happy to have someone to be with, something to do and somewhere to go and all that. . . but at the same time, i feel a little bummed out for my single friends who are expressing their bitterness. I used to be there. I was the bitterest. V day traditionally sucked for me - seems like I would always break up with someone, or get my heart crushed by someone I liked, right before valentines day. And so on the dreaded day, i'd wear black, get together with my girlfriends and drink too much and watch a sappy movie like legends of the fall.

Then one year I decided Screw This, I'm going to be happy anyway. So i decided to deliver flowers on V day. And it turned out to be the best gig I ever did. People love you when you deliver flowers. It's like being a celebrity or santa claus or something. It's a ton of fun. So now, I'm hooked. I'll do it again tomorrow. Can't wait! =)
