I am so glad its Valentines day again. The one day when all the couples in the world pretend to be in love. I'm pretty sure that love is found only on Valentines day. The other 364 days of the year, we can all just go back to hating our partners, and planning how we can survive till next Valentines day without smothering our partner in their sleep with the decorative pillow that everyone hates. I'm so thankful that Hallmark and Sees invented this great holiday, where couples must buy each other material items in order to show how much they are in love for one day.
Because we all know it, when you are in love the only way to show it is with fancy diamonds, and a rolex.

One of my teachers once told me that Valentines Day was first invented to cover up the Roman pagan holiday called Lupercalia. The festival was supposed to celebrate the she-wolf who saved the infants Remus and Romulus (the founders of Rome). Apparently, the leaders of the Christian church in Rome were not too pleased when they saw the people running up and down the roads whipping each other with strips of bloody wolf hide in hopes that it would promote fertility in the year to come. Go figure.
