Valentine's Day Songs for the Single and the Not-Single

(Okay, I didn't know what I was supposed to say there. Honestly, "Not-Single" was the best I could think of)

Ladies and gentleman, it is that time of year again! The time when flower and chocolate sales go up really high, when everything thing turns pink, and when you can't turn around without seeing something heart-shaped. Yes, I'm talking about Valentine's Day, a holiday with the sole purose of celebrating love.

Alright, full disclosure - I've never really cared for Valentine's Day. And before you write me off as a bitter teenage girl, let me explain. Usually, I just kinda saw it as an excuse to get free candy from V-Day card exchanges with my friends (of course, most of it was just bland lollipops and Fun Dip). I'm kind of too old for that now though, so this lovely holiday (pun not intended) has become pretty useless to me.

Also, I can't stand people who write stuff like "Happy Singles Day. #foreveralone"

Anyways, the point of this post was not to talk about Valentine's Day and what I think about it. The point is, I've compiled a list of songs for you to listen to this Valentine's Day, whether you're single, married, in a relationship, whatever. I'm compiled this list from my own resources (like the CD rack next to my computer).

And, as a fair warning, there are duplicate artists (for example, Flyleaf shows up once on both lists).

Teens and Trick or Treating

I seriously almost decided not to blog this week. I was at such a loss for ideas lately. I got a lot of great feedback on my E-Books post (thanks guys!!), so I'm going to try another interesting topic like that. It just came to me right now as I'm writing this. And with Halloween right around the corner, I think it's appropriate: Teenagers and Trick or Treating.

From what I can tell, a lot of people think anyone over the age of ten should be banned from trick or treating on Halloween. And this is going to sound cynical, and I'm sorry for that, but who's going to stop me? Am I going to be arrested because I'm fifteen and I asked someone for candy?

Alright. That's enough of that.

My mom and I were actually talking about this recently, because I told her I was going to go trick or treating this year. Then we started talking about how old someone can be before it's unacceptable for them to go door to door for candy. We came to the conclusion that it didn't matter how old you were, as long as you were dressed up and said "thank you," you could get all the candy you wanted.
