valentine's day jams

This is my second year in a row without a Valentine. Last year it felt like some sort of rebellion, this year it just doesn't feel like anything. I think I'm totally OK being single. I know I'm OK with it, actually. It's a good feeling. The rest of the world is celebrating though, and I have to say that today does feel slightly more filled with love. I'm not sure what it is, but it feels kind of lovey all around and that's pretty great.

When I do have a Valentine, I don't really think the holiday is that big of a deal-- the whole cliche "real love doesn't need a special day" kind of thing. I also don't care for chocolates and lingerie and champagne. All of that stuff is tacky and a little embarrassing to me. What I will celebrate though are all the songs that make me feel like I'm in love even when I'm not. I'm posting some of my favorite love songs here today. Remember you can download them if you read me via RSS. :)
