"Nobody likes a cynic"

Oh Valentine's Day....I never really understood why people get so worked up about it. I don't know, maybe it's because I've never been in a serious relationship during this particular day, but I just see all of this crap in the stores and I just think "if a guy were to give me this I would laugh at his face". My boyfriend/husband will know me well enough to know that when the time comes I guess. I was reading post secret today, and I was amazed at how much turmoil people go through just because of some stupid day that couples are supposed to have fun with. I don't know...it just seems like a day where people spend too much money, and it puts people through too much pain. Do other people feel this way or am I just a cynic? There are some with hope though...
