Knox's thoughts on gifts

Mar 03 21:25:42 <Knox>  "But I think people get too hung up about exclusivity and who is having sex with who else and UGH. Fucking mess. I think it's perfectly reasonable to be in an intimate relationship with multiple people and no one getting hung up over any of it, but very few people seem to see it the same way. It's not fucking hard. You just don't lie to people about your intentions. Not to mention the
Mar 03 21:25:42 <Knox>  whole corporate shilling of- ...fuck you know what, nevermind, I'm getting off topic and I'm starting to rant. There something up with the crew's team dynamic?"
Mar 03 21:29:05 <Med>   "Corporate shilling?" she asks, sounding a bit amused at the poisonous man's rantings.
Mar 03 21:33:12 <Knox>  "Big companies make a business out of exclusive relationships under the pretense of making things more romantic. Valentine's Day, for instance. Candy, cards, jewelry, all that shit gets ready to sell on holidays dedicated to that kind of thing. And if someone in a relationship forgets about it - watch the fuck out. It's getting to be where gifts aren't thoughtful and genuine and more
Mar 03 21:33:12 <Knox>  corporate-funded sex tax.  You don't have to have a fucking day of the year devoted to being romantic, whose bidoof-brained idea was that shit?? That's the kind of thing I mean."
Mar 03 21:38:30 <Knox>  "Where am I even going with this."
Mar 03 21:38:37 <Knox>  He sighs and tries to calm down.
Mar 03 21:38:45 <Knox>  "People just piss me off, nowadays."
Mar 03 21:40:29 <Med>   "You sure get worked up about it~ I personally like Valentine's day. You don't have to just be nice to one person on it, or anything!"
Mar 03 21:41:07 <Med>   "I made cards for my bandmates last valentines day, and I wasn't even dating any of them at the time~"
Mar 03 21:41:28 <Knox>  "I just never got why people thought they needed to set aside a day to do something like hand out chocolates and gifts to friends and people they were interested in."
Mar 03 21:41:45 <Med>   "You don't - you could do it any day of the year!"
Mar 03 21:41:47 <Knox>  "That's something you can do any day of the year, just from feeling like it."
Mar 03 21:41:51 <Knox>  He nods.
Mar 03 21:41:57 <Knox>  "Exactly."
