a valentine league of their own

for over 10 years i have been watching a league of their own on valentine's day

all because of a couple of small jokes from a tv segment i watched 12 years ago....


let's start off with a little bit of a little bit of backstory:

about 14 years ago, i used to watch a little show called "infomania" that was on current tv. 


there was a segment on that show called "viral video film school" where brett would talk about the strange videos people post online. 


in one episode he talks about videos people posted to youtube to their cringy valentine's day videos

follow me so far? awesome... ok so now for why...
in the video above around the :38 second mark, he makes a joke about being "10, 11 hohos deep... maybe watching a league of their own... alone" and also makes a joke of having a date with all american girl baseball team around the 4:01 minute mark

i had not seen a league of their own in a while, so it prompted me to watch it on valentine's day. because why not.... i was alone and nothing else to do.


the next year, a league of their own was on tv on valentine's day. i remembered the joke from vvfs and thought it would be funny to watch the movie again... i was still alone on valentine's day so i didn't have any other plans...

and then the tradition stuck... because by year three of this charade... it felt weird not watching it on valentine's day


so now over 10 years later... i still watch a league of their own on valentine's day. luckily my valentine's day date for the past 8 years (aka the boyfriend) has been a sport with the tradition and does watch it with me every year. (he understood the assignment lol)


so yeah... that is how it started and why i watch it every year... do you have any weird or different valentine's day traditions? let me know!
