nothing quite says single and alone like Valentine's Day. Being single isn't really something that bothers me - well unless I am cold and wanting a human sized hot water bottle - or needing someone to go to the cinema with (but even then the chances of a boyfriend wanting to go see Beauty & the Beast or 50 shades is probably quite slim)
So instead of composing a forced "What to buy your other half on V-Day" or something along those lines, I thought I would go with my usual blunt and honest type posts - because meh, my blog my rules lol.
1. The Crap Gifts
Everyone at some point or another has received some horrendous teddy with "I heart you" on the front of it, if your lucky it isn't the human sized one from Home Bargains - but either way it ends up in a cupboard - with the rest in some form of teddy graveyard from Boyfriend's past.
2. "What are you doing for Valentine's Day"
Just because you are in a relationship does not mean you need to do anything, at least being single and replying "fuck all" is somewhat socially acceptable.
3. "Awww that Sucks"
No it doesn't, I don't need sympathy because I am single, especially on such a pointless "holiday" Do not pity my single state one day a year, especially when I have told you I am ordering Dominos. The only acceptable response to someone saying "I am ordering Dominos" is "Oh my god - I am jealous"
4. I HATE fancy eating out
My favourite places to eat typically include having to order at the till. eg. Mcdonalds, KFC, NANDOS. Anything above that I feel seriously uncomfortable, and suddenly very aware of how clumsy I am - for some reason boys are under pressure to book somewhere "nice" I cannot think of anything worse.
5. ERIN DOESNT SHARE FOOD
Simple, yet affective. If I am ordering a Chinese, I am ordering 2 meals - no I don't want to share, no I don't want to do halves, and yes I really do NEED ALL THAT. Stop being so judgy and get your own. This especially applies to Dominos - I do need a full large. That will do me my Tea, Breakfast and Lunch, don't take that away from me because you "can't finish a full one" MAN UP.
6. My TV & Movie Taste
It's a bit weird, one minute I'm watching Avengers, the next I am watching the Notebook... but I really hate having to justify my watching habits. And nothing annoys me more than the "What do you wanna watch" debate - because I never win it, I'm a pushover when it comes to movie selection, and sometimes I just want to watch Hurricane Bianca for the 50th time.
7. Binge Watching
When I get into a TV show I want to watch all 10 seasons in one week - it's just my favourite way of watching things, and the thought of having to wait on someone keeping up drives me completely batty.
8. Big Ass Panties.
Nothing makes me happier than wearing pants which come up higher than my high waisted jeans -he thought of having to opt for something more "sexy" AKA uncomfortable is just not appealing - same goes for pyjamas.
9. Nights Out
Nothing is worse than having a night out with your friends and having the pang of guilt for leaving them. It doesn't matter how laid back and free you are together there is always the thought in the back of your head that your not with them. I go home with a bag of chips, which some nights is much more entertaining - and a totally different type of guilt.
10. The Idea That Single = Unhappy.
I know this shocks a lot of people, but I am actually happy being single at the moment, I feel like it is something everyone needs to do - learn how to be happy alone. The whole "other half" thing - the idea that you are incomplete without another person is complete BS. Just because someone is single please do not automatically assume they are unhappy.
What are your plans this Valentine's Day? I will be sitting on the couch with a Dominos, probably watching Hurricane Bianca. Let me know in the comments below! :)
