Valentine's Day playlists

I <3 my iPod, and I love making playlists for it. So in honor of Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share a few with you.

First, I have the "Valentine's Day Sucks" playlist. This is for those who hate sappy love songs, or just broke up with their significant other, or who just like a good "kiss my ass" song. I will warn you - not all of these songs are appropriate for sensitive ears. No surprise there - especially to those who know me. Enjoy!
