You're right, Ellen.  All my ranting against a made-up holiday
designed to drive the insecure into temporary and miserable
relationships so that they can achieve a false sense of normality and
incidentally spend ridiculous amounts of money propping up the owners
of South Asian sweatshops and third-rate chocolatiers (except for the
turtles! RS, I still love the turtles) is really due to the fact that
I've never known true love as represented by a pink teddybear.

Thank you, Ellen, for opening my eyes.  And possibly something else. 
Perhaps you are the one who can teach my barren soul to accept the
soothing flow of love.  You can sweep away the brittle branches
blocking the path to my heart.  Anytime you want to strap on those
bowling shoes (and anything else) you come see me.
