Happy V-Day everyone
So as a single person, around this time of year many of you get very lonely or upset.
I personally love this time of year, see I feel sorry for all those couples that have this whole buildup to a day that for most, is probably at the very least a little disappointing. Especially when the day falls on a weekday and people have to be back to work the following day.
But as a single person I celebrate Single Awareness Fortnight. For those of you not familiar with this holiday. It is like the difference between Chanukah and Christmas. The Jews had it right make a whole 8 days of celebration and gift giving as opposed to those poor Christian bastards that only have 1 day. Starting on February 1st I gave myself a present, then the next day low and behold I was still single so I got to give myself another present. And unlike Valentines gifts where they are supposed to be romantic and you have no real control of what your significant other gives you, for Single Awareness Fortnight you get presents that you want, like the 12 pack of beer I gave myself the first night, and then the 5th of Jack on the second. Now you can trade gifts with other people celebrating SAF, but it is not recommended as that seems to only result in extreme drunkedness and some defacation of past girlfriends/boyfriends property or pets. This is mostly atributed to the fact that the majority of SAF gifts have as their main ingredient: Alcohol, funny how that works.
So in closing after another very exciting SAF, at least I think it must have been exciting, to be honest I can't remember too much of the last 2 weeks. I wish you all the best in all you do this year.
Best,
Teaspoon
