Fuck Cupid

I’m on the verge of boycotting SL.  Not because of display names or allowing teens onto the main grid or forcing everyone into the 2.0 interface.  I’m about to boycott because the entire grid has gone hearts, pink, red, and flowers crazy.  Just when one of my favorite skin stores sent me a notecard advertising skins with hearts on the lips (et tu, Brute?), T Junction came to my rescue with a “Fuck Cupid” tee.  They have a couple of other good ones, notably “I Hate Valentines,” which I almost got.  But I simply couldn’t resist ….

Let’s be clear.  It’s not that I’m not in love; I am.  It’s not that I don’t want to celebrate that love; I do.  It’s the syrup, the flowers (I hate flowers), the schmaltz, and the overdone commercialism.  It’s the desire to put a heart on everything.  I do not need skins with hearts, pink houses with heart shaped doors, red heart shaped roses, pink tennis shoes with hearts on them, heart shaped earrings, etc., etc., etc.  So fuck Valentines ….

Megs told me to be nice.  I’m really trying.  All y’all who believe in the hearts and flowers fest, enjoy.  As for me, I will do the hearts and Webkins thing with pink sprinkled covered donuts for my kids, send them off to school, and then head to the closest theater to see, “The Rite.” What better way to spend the day?
