ltgmarsDid you ever notice that no one ever calls him St. Valentine anymore? I mean, did we all forget whom this holiday is in homage to?* I feel like I'm the only one who says St. Valentine. Even in a Catholic school, people are like, "Happy Valentine's Day"... things have become too secular, yo.
*And yes, as hard as I try to be grammatical and otherwise annoyingly anal in correctitude, I always end up finishing sentences using prepositions, and as we all know, prepositions aren't things to end sentences with.
Heh.
So yup, another St. Valentine's Day Al-Own. I was really considering sending a singing valentine to Ilse, signed "Ann Onimuss" (note that taking out "nn Onimu" gives you something of mine Ilse would have kicked once she'd returned to her seat), but I decided against it. Besides, it's not like I have three dollars to dish out [on anything other than anime/manga], anyway. I did get some nice phone calls from Ilse and Claire today, but they were strictly business.
Besides, hearing sweet nothings from two girls over the phone wouldn't make up for not having a guy to be with. -_-
Congrats to everyone who has something romantic to do today (here's lookin' at you (in that platonic, non-sexual way), Rae!), and hats off to all you single ladies and gentlemen out there... I know how ya feel!

Re:
Date: 2004-02-15 05:36 (UTC)Augustine is no saint in my book. I don't care if he is cannonized in the Roman Catholic church.
Just like Valentine I refuse to refer to him by his ill-gotten title, lest we drive down the value of the title. Some saints deserve their title (Francis of Assisi) most don't.
