IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY.
everyone. listen up. did ya hear? it's the special day.
guess what angry people - joke's on you. you spent the day with people you love TOO! take that.
so. today, i share my favourite love things. because it's my blog, and i get to do what i want. and, i know that SOMEWHERE down there, if my cold black heart was get a bit more squishy today, yours can too.
read this. justin created this stunning love letters for his girlfriend. neighbouring camps. it's all in there. perfection. hand designed address labels, beautiful calligraphy, love letters sent from place to place. i want these - not love letters, just someone to send me things that are so painstakingly designed as the detail on these envelopes!
this was a tote done by fieldguided - they don't have it anymore, but they have a 'there is thunder in our hearts' tote (heart, heart. same, same), which is equally beautiful. carrying love. plus, it's practical - as love should be - and simple, so you can use it for everything. or, go with the skull and roses bag ('mr. horticulture') from danielle at dinosaur toes. equally love related - because who doesn't love a skull full of roses!
feeling exceptionally bitter? watch one of these 10 worst valentine's films ever. i am so in love with the movie revolutionary road, it only makes sense to dedicate many valentines days to it. that's true love - i'm telling you (photo via). movies that are dripping in hate, heart wrenching agony, and the reality and truth of relationships and love. cheating, lying, heartbreak, lonliness. reality. and then, you can feel sorry for people in love, instead of being pissed off at them.
sam does these incredibly artistic valentines. and she encourages people to print them and send them! whaaaaaa?? and even if you're not going to send them, just take a look. they're beautiful. easy peasy valentines for friends and colleagues you may have forgotten about (oops).
i always spend the day listening to anti-valetines music (don't try to figure me out - this brain of mine is a real fun house of confusing proportions). you can listen to these people rant about love. alternatively, you can listen to lovey dovey music here. which only salvages itself because robbie williams is on the list.
and, in case all of those lovely things didn't help, or quell your distaste and overall hatred of this wonderful holiday, then some things to remember on valentines. (hint: CHEAP CANDY). here's my holiday tip - stock up on candy hearts, and freeze them. THEY WILL LAST ALL YEAR. yes. things i've learned from years of pining for those lovely firey hearts year round, without being able to fulfill cravings.
call someone you love today. mom, dad, sister, brother, cousin. friend, colleague, someone you lost touch with. call them. do it. and then, eat red candy that only comes once a year, and watch a horror movie. what would valentines be without a horror movie??!?!
i'm spending valentines handing out pencils and candy to friends, and then having poutine, and beer in a travel mug with jeff. it's just the way i like it.
everyone. listen up. did ya hear? it's the special day.
i love today. i love it.
i know, i know. i am the antithesis of love. how can i adore a hallmark holiday? how can i sell out, and bask in the enjoyment of other's misery, to the delight of those in looooooove?
it's not that. it's not romantic love that i love.
you know what i love? giving heart pencils to my coworkers, and sending child valentines to far away friends. i love that when i was 6, our school set up a legit post office, and we could mail valentines to people in the school - post marked and everything. i love that even if people are bitter, and hate the day, it even pushes those people to spend it with their best friends in the world, just to rant about those in love.guess what angry people - joke's on you. you spent the day with people you love TOO! take that.
