Happy Make single people feel worse than normal day

I do not like Valentines day. It's not anything against the day in general. In fact, I love the idea of romance, of being able to have a day where I could be close to a person I love, spend time with them, give and receive gifts, and all together feel cherished. The problem with Valentines day is, I have yet to have a Valentines day come out like that. I have never seen this holiday without being single. So I end up seeing a bunch of happy couples, and television and the internet is full of ads for happy couples, and what to get him/her ads, and such things. So, not only do I end up feeling left out, I end up looking back at my life, seeing my long, single, loneliness, and feeling like some sort of human defect for my inability to find a guy to be with. It's not the worst feeling in the world, but it doesn't help.

I need to start stabilizing my sleep schedule. Right now, between work and class, I'm alternating between waking up at 11, and waking up at 7, and going to sleep between 11 (this time pm) and 3 (this time am). It leaves me feeling tired the entire week, and I don't think that's a good thing. Especially because I have, on at least 1 or two equations, overslept my 1:30pm class. So I need to start stabilizing the time I go to sleep. May try to do it at 11:30pm, but that would involve me missing the Colbert Report, and it is one of two shows I deem worth watching (the other being the Daily Show). Yet if I don't do something about it, well, I'll probably just end up feeling worse. (The other issue is trying to go to sleep at that time on the weekends. Some nights I don't even get off of work until 11:30...)

Need to also start focusing more on my writing, and on my independent programing projects. Both have fallen by the wayside (curse you Modern Warfare 2 and Sins of a Solar Empire! Curse you both for your hours of pointless, yet entertaining... enterainingness.) So I need to look into doing more of the programming and writing, and less of the gaming (I'd also include NetFlix in that less than, but after getting over the initial How awesome it is, I really only watch about 2 hours of movies a week.)

Anyway, that's all I have at the moment. So ~Night!
