hello all I am currently trying to quit smoking. I think its the hardest thing I have done yet. Its totally driving me to distraction, if not a bit loopy and potty and incredibly agressive. My dreams are even becoming slightly more agressive. Tarintino has nothing on the dreams I've been having. So, I'm just going to try and bite my lip for however long it needs to be biten, or possibly avoid everyone ever who has the ability to wind me up. Aside from all that... Is everyone looking forward to Valentines Day? I like the idea of Valentines Day actually. Hardened softie that I am. But I was discussing this recently with a friend of mine. His reasoning was that it shouldn't be the only day of the year when you say I love you. I agree. If I was to be going out with someone who could only express their feelings on Valentines day, then I would probably dump them. Harsh? maybe. But we all need to feel loved a lot more than one day. My whole point is, that I realise a lot of people are really cynical about the whole thing, that its all too commercialised. Same with virtually every season. Christmas, Easter, etc etc. All except your birthdays. But you know, Valentines cards started way back in the Victorian times. So its hardly fair to blame it on a recent thing. And it was a christian tradition. So in that respect its a bit unfair to dismiss it. I'm not too fussed by it at all, if I am truthful, but I like the idea of it. Heck, if I had my way, a bunch of flowers, chocies (lots and lots and lots of chocies) and lots of regular little notes of "I love you, by the way." would be a feature of my letterbox. Okay, maybe not the flowers, but you get my drift. Its nice. Nothing extravangant, but just a little unusual token of love. Actually, I would probably feel embarrassed if I got really extravagant things at all. I like gifts that don't have to be materialistic. And you know, gifts don't need to be materialistic. Just something for you to think about. If you don't like the commercialism of Valentines Day, try and do something non-commercial. Does that make sense? Urgh. I dunno sometimes. Sorry if I sound like Jerry Springer bombing Starbucks. ;) Idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
