Screw flowers: WeatherGirl's Valentine's Day Wish List

  • I wish nobody would buy their lovers inorganically grown roses for the big day. They're lovely and all - that is, to all of us who don't have to grow them and inhale pesticides.
  • I wish that if someone were to buy me a stuffed animal, it would serve the dual purpose of being sickeningly cute and hiding drugs.
  • I wish cigarettes didn't cause emphysema and cancer and stink so I could start smoking again. I'm 54 days strong.
  • I wish someone would come up with chocolate that has no carbs, tastes like the real thing and doesn't cause diarrhea as a result of over-consumption.
  • I wish the initials for Valentine's Day weren't the same as the initials for Venereal Disease.
  • I wish more people would send cheesy Valentine's Day e-cards instead of tangible paper cards. Call me a treehugger if you please; I call it wasteful.
  • I wish the marketing campaign for diamonds had never started, and men weren't expected to spend two months salary on engagement rings.
  • I wish Big Business wasn't pressuring me to do something special for the man I love. What with the occasional blow job, the random (yet inexpensive) gifts I give him for no reason, the hours we stay up late laughing... Yeah, I think he's aware that I love him.
  • I wish people would stop assuming that anti-Valentine's Day sentiments belong only to the singled, jilted or jaded.

I agree wholeheartedly (although being Hebrew, I can't and don't celebrate Valentine's Day).

But here, here, and the diamond industry is a bloody one. It leaves countries in turmoil, essentially killing each other and fueling weapons sales. Blood Diamond is a good movie to check out.
