Chivalry and other BS associated with Valentine's Day
Chivalry has always creeped me out. Maybe I thought it never existed in modern day times - you know a sense of real romance and well-intentioned acts of love. But I see some examples in my friends' relationships where it actually does exist. Often I've felt uncomfortable at any attempts of chivalry because I automatically assume it's a ploy to just get in my pants. But now that I have a bf who doesn't just want to get in my pants, is it so wrong to want a little romance? Is it so horrible to want a mushy note containing his true feelings? I dunno.

Maybe I'm buying into America's obsession with the storyboard for every romantic film out there. Maybe all this stupid commercialized crap for a fake excuse for a holiday is screwing with my mind. Or maybe it's my sudden empowerment/bitchiness that has led me to believe I should be as worshiped and respected as I do to those I love... Meh - who knows.
