1. Flowers,
chocolates and red wine… these are all strongly
associated with Valentine’s Day. They are also strongly associated with
universal acceptance. So, accept.
2. It’s
2013. Realistically, there is very little time for
spending time with the special person in your life. If children’s play dates,
yoga classes and a visit to home affairs are all important enough to be
scheduled, then for heaven’s sake, why not a night out with your other half?
3. Showing
the finger to the pessimistic opportunists. Pick a
prominent day on the yearly calendar – any day really – and you’ll find a
distinct group of people who use these events as opportunities to “not follow
the crowd.” (because “doing your own
thing” and “not following the crowd” is like, so cool, dude). Valentine’s Day
is “overhyped and a marketing ploy”, he said. “Who the hell plays Christmas
music in shops in October?” she said. He and she need a pre-2000s, traditional
Cape-coloured hiding.
4. Red
and white. The colours of love. Wear them, eat
them, buy a new car in them. You’ll look like an absolute prick, but you’ll
have so much fun in the process.
5. Poetry. This art form is laborious, grammatically flawed and generally
incomprehensible for 364 out of 365 days in a typical year. On February 14th
– inexplicably – it all makes sense.
