"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single girl of sweet disposition and romantic inclinations must be in want of a Valentine."
FALSE!
As a girl who spent the bulk of her Valentines Day with Celibate Men of God at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and the Dominican House of Studies, I can defy this so called "truth" with confidence. Not only did my February 14th rock, but I got to spend it with some of the cooler people on the planet.
In fact, while others were satisfied with honoring St. Valentine (who died in APRIL, btw), we pulled our efforts into honoring St. Cyril and St. Methodius who brought Catholicism to the Slavic peoples. It was their offical feast day on Saturday. Now, when I strolled into Hallmark looking for my Cyril and Methodius Slavic merchandise, you can image how disapointed I was!
Other highlights from the weekend included Connor Breed's dog, watching two classy men chicken fight on the subway, and eating Valentines Day ice cream with Ooling, Sammy, and James (who doesn't get a nickname because Oolong has decided he is above such foolishness). By the BY, for future reference, Ben and Jerry's ice cream has a "cupid" discount on V day for the poor single girls out there shoveling it in. While I am single but not sad, it didn't take away from my appreciation of the $1.02 I saved. Perhaps St. Valentine IS looking after us all...
We proceeded to make our happy lists. Mine included napping, thinking of Helen Keller, and taking pictures of U.Va, and secretly ruling the world. Oolong hopes to find more pictures of baby animals to scare me with and Sammy plans on napping.
That's all for now. Oolong has promised a post soon. If we're lucky it will be related to knitting...

Okay, so I believe that in order to prove the claims of the initial supposition false, you must be a "single girl of sweet disposition and romantic inclinations." Not all girls are of sweet disposition and foster romantic inclinations. Pronouncing the claims of the statement in question false based on the grounds of Oolong being of the "fairer sex" forces the argument to rely on the assumption that all single girls are of a sweet disposition and romantically inclined. For this assumption to be warranted, there must exist a rational flow of logic from the state of "single girl" to "sweet disposition and romantically inclined." Since no such sufficient logic train is presented in this thesis, I must proclaim the assumption unwarranted.
This argument is not sufficient. Please rectify the situation.
This scathing critique may have been avoided if Chris Seal had been invited to partake in the enjoyment of Ben and Jerry's.
Chris Seale:
1) I'm right and you're wrong
2) Note the word "and" in the sentence. What is the function of "and," Chris Seale? Do you remember from elementary school
3) Oolong = Joceline
Grass = Denise
Chris Seale = stupid
4) Get over the Ben and Jerry's!!!
5) WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PICKING FIGHTS WITH ME???????
