what is it with monthsaries? really? i think this [stupid and annoying] trend started last year - when 5-20% of sophomore-b weren't single anymore. now, i've just come to the conclusion that in fact, the holiday known as the "monthsary" is actually pointless and stupid.
"why's that, peps?" you ask.
well, for one, a real anniversary would be better to celebrate. you've held on for one year, for urza's sake! wouldn't that be better to celebrate?
another would be the characteristic uncertainty of a relationship. sure, you can be together now, but no one ever knows if you'd still be together in june. it's easy to pull yourselves together for a month to celebrate - which would make it sort of pointless. a real achievement is pulling yourselves together for a year. then we can say, "dammit, these guys have been together for a year!"
and a personal reason - i'm getting quite irritated when i hear/see a "happy monthsary". heck, it doesn't even sound good, or grammatically correct, for that matter. if ever this tradition doesn't fade away (unlike, you know, friendster, and like, you know, blogs), then someone please do me a favor and change the name. "monthsary" on its own sounds like crap and has no meaning whatsoever.
that's it. my rant's finished.
angry mob of happy monthsary-celebrating couples, unite!
