Wait, what day is it?
Valentine’s Day? I have no idea what you’re talking about. That’s the day when your mom gets you a box of chocolates, right? No? Romance? Significant other? Yeah, no idea.
Seriously though, I have never actually celebrated V-Day. Probably because I have never actually been in a relationship, but that’s just a minor detail we can overlook. And today was no different.
What kind of romantic things did I do today? Oh, I’ll tell you. First, I treated myself to a nice breakfast of cereal and tea, while watching some Starcraft 2 videos. Oh yes. Next, I accompanied my friend to lunch and talked with him for a bit. He is gay, but we’re just friends, so no romance involved. After lunch, I took myself on a dreamy date to the local community college, so that I could pay my application fee and ask some questions. (Yes, that’s right, college. Again. More on that later!) Ohh, tell me more!
After my little date, I took myself back to my place, and played some Brain Age. Gotta keep that brain in shape. And to top it all off? I spent the rest of the night babysitting my little sister—mmm yes, you know nothing says loving like babysitting.
So all-in-all, it was a completely normal, (although very productive) unromantic day. Just like any other. And chances are it will continue to be like that for some time because I honestly have no idea how to date. What do?
But seriously, what am I supposed to do on Valentine’s Day when I’m single? My co-worker asked me what I would be doing the other day and I told him pretty much nothing. And he didn’t understand why I would be doing nothing. I mean…what am I supposed to do? Go speed dating and find someone, anyone to spend the day with? And then by the power of Cupid, our relationship will work, because it’s ~Valentine’s Day~?
No. Not at all. I am supposed to take myself on a romantic not-date-but-actually-just-a-day-of-errands.
But enough about me (for now), what did you lovebirds do for Valentine’s Day, besides sigh dreamily as you thought about me?

Hello, my name's Josh and I might be a hipster (you decide!). I've been blogging and designing in some form for the past eight or so years and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it (once again, you decide!). I love indie music, coming of age stories, sarcasm, video games, and aesthetics. At the moment I'm working part-time and going to college with hopes of being a web designer.

I did absolutely nothing special. Valentine’s Day is just another day, to me. I haven’t got a romantic bone in my body, probably…

I went to school, gave people cake, gave out some cinnamon hearts, came home, watched interviews with Marcus Mumford because I’m creepy, got a chocolate heart from my mom, and went to bed.
:D

@Clem: Was Marcus Mumford your valentine, or your mom?
