Have to disagree with you about anti-Valentine's Day: the thing is, Valentine's Day is almost wonderful in how much there is to hate--there's something for everyone. It's just a stupid holiday, whether you're part of a couple or not. I can't imagine myself ever wanting to celebrate it (I can imagine myself wanting to just ignore it). As I've said, I'm indifferent to it at this point--hosting that party for so many years, I associate the day with the party and not the holiday--and I'm so indifferent that I can't even be bothered to delineate all the stupid things about it. It's even more manufactured than mother's day--which my family doesn't really do, anyway. Heart-shaped boxes of candy make me want to gag (unless they have Happy Bunny printed on them). If I were in a relationship, I'd probably resent those boxes just the same if not more.
