Looking for the appropriate Valentine
02/11/2009 08:43 a.m.

I looked through all the cards in 5 stores today - couldn't find one card that said, "Hey, Valentine. I'm looking forward to the years to come without you." Or, "Valentine, this year is bitter and not too sweet after all, eh?" Or, maybe, "Valentine, this time next week I'll be alone. Let's celebrate!" Or, how about, "Valentine, have I told you lately how grateful I am that we're breaking up instead of trying to keep the foolish promises we made last September?" Or this BAAAAD one (for the feint of eye or ear, please don't read), "What the hell, we're breaking up, let's get kinky!"

Don't they believe in real life at Hallmark?

I should make a new line of greeting cards - Cards for the not-so-finer times in life.

I'm working on a poem...

I am currently: vacillating between pain and optimism
Listening to: the calender creep toward Feb. 20th. (that's when his tax refund is coming; he's using that to fund his departure)
