Valentinr and why I'm not participating this year.

[apocalypticbob]

I've done the Valentinr things for a few years now, but I'm not participating this year. I really don't think I could handle opening it up on Valentine's Day and reading a handful of anonymous notes from people telling me they like me. I'm pretty sure that would break me this year. Valentine's Day is going to be tough enough this year...it's always a pretty shitty day for me, with few exceptions, and this year I'm going to be at a wedding. Now, I'm excited to go to that wedding, so incredibly excited, and I won't be weeping in the corner at it or anything, except tears of joy for the lovely bride, but it is still going to be a bold underscore of all the things I don't have and may never have.

I will put up a post on Valentine's Day, if you'd like to leave non-anonymous, screened love notes, but I truly can't handle any secret admirers right now. I would lose my cool.

I'm not signing any of the Valentinr things this year, either, but if you also put up a post on Valentine's Day where people may leave screened, non-anonymous love notes, I'll be glad to tell you why I am happy you are in my life. I think valentines_09 is an incredibly neat community, too, but if you choose to utilize it, please don't leave me anonymous notes...it will only make me tear my hair out in frustration.

Love you all.

I am DOOM and I LOVE BOB!
I am going to take your screened V-day post idea and use it myself!
Also, you know the anonymous poster just feels (probably, rightly, but you never know) they are not worthy of your awesomeness).

Never done the V- meme thing myself, but the screened comment thing is a good idea, lets lots of us let others know we Like, admire, LOVE them! I declare Warm Fuzzy Day!
