Who Loves Ya Baby?
For eons, February has been associated with one holiday and one holiday only, Valentine's Day. It's also the only annoying month with another pesky 'r' in there to shake things up a bit, but that's neither here nor there.
Groundhog's Day takes a backseat. Hell, President's Day has long been packed in the trunk. In fact, as soon as Christmas leaves town, Valentine's Day takes over. Its timing is also perfect since the calendar bum rushes us with a slew of holidays in the fall and early winter. By the time Valentine's Day rolls around, people are just about ready for a shallow reason to celebrate all over again.
Only unlike Groundhog's Day and President's Day, Valentine's Day is quite the exclusive holiday. I'm not even going to try and mince words here. They did it all for the nookie. For those of who are sans that special someone, Valentine's Day becomes the scarlett letter of holidays. A one day branding that YOU yes YOU WILL DIE ALONE.
(Cue playing Janis Ian's At Seventeen in the background)
This is not a new concept. Valentine's Day's wastes no time making people feel inadequate. Don't believe me? Think about the first Valentine's Day you experienced growing up. Remember the anticipation, waiting for your secret crush to notice you with a Necco candy heart and a smile. Remember the rejection when Susie's mailbox was overflowing with Necco candy hearts, among other things. She had her pick of the litter. You had the Valentine from the kid whose mom made them write one to everyone in the class.
As you got older, it didn't get much better. For the guys it meant staring longingly at the unrequited cheerleader in math class. For girls it meant staring longingly at the unrequited best friend who was staring at the cheerleader in math class.
Yes indeedy, love is a battlefield.
But I say if you can't beat 'em, why not join 'em? So for one month and one month only starting on FEBRUARY 1ST, I would like you to pick your biggest blog crush and shower them with affection. Wait. Here comes the really fun part. You are going to do so, anonymously. It might be someone new you've been worshiping from a far, or someone you've been quietly clicking through while Bon Jovi's "She Don't Know Me" booms through your speakers.
Whomever it is, it has to be someone whom you admire. Once the month ends you will reveal yourself to said crush. The best part? You can blog about your pain or your joy depending on the results. (Note: these are not necessarily romantic blogships but merely a mutual admiration society of sorts)
The point is you get to be creative, positive AND a stalker...all for one month only!
The only catch is if you're gonna play, you have to email me and let me know you you intend to harass, err visit by emailing me at aogbgirl@yahoo.com. This way Janet the Cupid can drop in and see if you are making beautiful blogging together.Unless of course, you pick me. If that's the case, go tell someone else. As long as there's a paper trail.
So what are you waiting for? Let the love fest begin!
Oh and by the way, if you're Susie, you suck.
