Katie's Diary: The Plain Jane
Tuesday, February 13
"See, Valentine's day and all the sweets and sweet-smelling things that come with it, are meant for girls like Nicole - with their cover-girl good looks, ladylike figures, and polished manners. This particular day of the year , heartthrobs are given a little something extra for the blessings they already have - they're given affirmation that they truly are, in fact, adored and endeared. One might already be worshipping the ground they walk on the rest of the year, but Valentine's Day is the time to go all out! So naturally, when someone doesn't go all out for you on this day when every guy serves up the works for some girl, you know on which side of the Plain Jane-Prom Queen divide you belong.
Anne was all too aware of it. 'This isn't even about Nicole because I love Nicole, but I really hate Valentine's. More than make the gorgeous girls feel good about themselves, it makes everyone else who doesn't quite make the cut feel bad! It's worse than reading a magazine, I swear. At least then, you can pretend those pretty girls are airbrushed and aren't real!' "
