Valentines Day

[Yeti]

When Valentines Day is mentioned people seem to get really worked up. Today I heard a co-workers talking and one asked the other what they got their wife for Valentines Day. The guy almost had a conniption fit. I hate Valentines Day! It is a Hallmark holiday! Blah Blah.

I think it is funny that most people despise this day. I remember in elementary school giving girls those mini sweet tarts with messages on them and the teacher making us cut red paper into hearts. I remember getting my first kiss from Kim Heatwole behind the stage curtain in the cafeteria. I guess it was an OK day back in those days. I was in CVS today and I saw all these bears and frilly lace boxes of chocolate. Who buys that shit? Of all the days of the year Valentines Day really gets people all worked up.

[Waus]

I'm okay with Valentines Day...I really do get annoyed with "Sweetest Day" though. I call bullshit on that one.


I got my gf a "Uglydoll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uglydolls)" stuffed animal, some cherry cordials (her favorite) and I painted a watercolor portrait of her (something she begged me to do months ago).

[Yeti]

Ha! My son has one of those Ugly dolls. Isn't there a movie called My Bloody Valentine?

I just googled---I hate valentines day and found stuff like this.....

Saint Valentine worked for Hallmark. He decided the best way to succeed was to CREATE a holiday. Boom, Valentine's Day! It tortures the couple-less and fattens to pockets of flower peddlers and greeting card companies. Everywhere you look, there's disgusting mixtures of red and pink. God, I hate pink.

"I think the holiday is total crap,” said a newly married 27-year-old man from Greenwich, Conn., who asked not to be identified.

Some feel icky about the sappy quality that characterizes Feb. 14. Plenty of Valentine’s Day scrooges despise what they say is the corny, forced sentimentalism of a contrived, overly commercialized holiday.

“I really hate it,” said Leslie Robarge, 28, a single editor at Glamour magazine in New York. “I think I always hated it, even when I had a boyfriend. I always felt that it was really hokey. I’m not a teddy bears and roses kind of person.”

Valentines, or "Singles Awareness Day."

[Yetra Flam]

it's like, "attn. everyone that doesn't have a significant other: you are lonely and pathetic! enjoy your night alone with your cats!"

[hitmonlee]

i got a letter from my stalker
it was even made with cut out magazine letters
he delivered it last night though, and he wished me a happy stalker's day eve
the present was tv shows
best stalker ever (y)

man, it sure it must be nice to have cats to keep you company.

[beastieboysbaby]

happy valentines day everyone :o <3

[Yetra Flam]

suck on it

[TurdBerglar]

i don't understand why you ladies find this day so important. like it can be a relationship deciding factor. that's insane.

the day usually passes by me without any direct notice. which garners a lot of sadness/hate from any female i've had any type of relationship with no matter how serious or not the relationship is. even females that are strictly platonic seem to get upset if you don't give them some sort of special attention.

tell me why it's so important. and don't tell me because it shows you that the guy cares about you. that's complete bullshit.

[mikizee]

Ok so I have a problem I need help on.

Last week I had a bath using this bubble bath stuff that my old housemate left behind. Within a day I came out with this terrible rash on the palms of my hands, like 60 mosquito bites. Really itchy. In the last few days it has spread onto the back of my hands and up my arms. red itchy dots all over my arms. Looks horrible. Went to the doc, got some hardcore antihistamines and steroid cream (which both arent doing shit). Even the skin on my palms and fingers are starting to peel. Looks disgusting.

Anyway I was meant to have drinks with this chick (ive been on 1 other date with her) at 930pm tonight. I'm really not in the mood to be seen in public tonight let alone have drinks with a girl when I look diseased.

The problem is if I call her up and tell her 'I cant have drinks with you tonight because I have developed a bad rash' sounds pretty bad. I dont wanna cancel on her, esp. seeing as its valentines day.

What the fuck to do?

[TurdBerglar]

hahaha

bubble bath

[mikizee]

shut up man, i had to shave my balls for a date, whats the point of having a bath if theres no bubbles in it?

[TurdBerglar]

well to not get nasty rash it seems

Wear gloves, babe.

A friend of mine cancelled drinks with a girl he was keen on, after his car broke down about an hour out of Melbs - said he wasn't sure he'd be home in time, and let her know a few hours in advance (she had already been planning on going to a party after the date) so she could make other plans. He also told her he wouldn't mind catching up another day, and she told him she wasn't interested.

Seriously, it's a pretty cute/funny story. It's a second date so why don't you tell her the truth, that you feel/look pretty hideous but offer to meet up anyway?

my mum brought me up to not believe in the following things:

god
marriage
women changing their name
halloween
valentines day
anniversaries
santa claus
easter bunny

so i have no idea what you are talking about

i've seen men get just as emo as women, if not moreso, on valentines day.

[venusvenus123]

your mum is pretty sad and cynical :(
however, we usually forget our anniversary and i agree with you
that i don't get what turd's talking about. no change there!

i think valentine's day is bullshit too. i've just sent my husband an
IM with extra hearts. that's about it. oh and i just got a virtual rose in reply. :p

i confess i used to do the whole card thing in my twenties.
but it is commercial crap and i can't remember when i last sent one.

[na§tee]

all i really want on valentines day is steak and sex.

[venusvenus123]

all i want is tea (maybe vodka too) and hugs -- i put my back out the other day and it's still a bit painful.

[mikizee]

all i really want on valentines day is steak and sex.

Word.

A friend of mine and his girlfriend have struck up an agreement, they celebrate valentines day for her, and then a couple of months later they have 'steak and blowjob day' when its the guy's turn.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

[jammytastic]

its all a pile of shite.

im not just saying that because im going to spend my evening babysitting for twin boys and my fairy godbaby.

people go fucking apeshit for vallys day. its crazy. i just want sex and perhaps some chocolate. not a box of though. i want a terrys chocolate orange. and some crisps. maybe milk.

im going the shops.

[jabumbo]

i'll go to the rite aid tomorrow and buy all the chocolate leftovers for half price


i don't really understand most of the holiday consumerism though, its not just this one that boggles the mind. i did buy a single cut flower to give to someone but it almost does feel forced. i think i'll just leave it on the girls bed and not say anything about it until she does.

[abcdefz]

I love Valentine's Day, whether I'm dating or not. It's a great excuse to be doing what you should be doing all year long.

[MC Moot]

Will you all be my plutonic Valentines?...I'll cook you up something nice...(y)

[abcdefz]

Plutonic? :D

[MC Moot]

That's right plutonic...of igneous rock that has solidified beneath the earth's surface; granite or diorite or gabbro...go ahead knock the Spanish speaking kid...no crab cakes for you!...

[abcdefz]

Heart of stone, Moot. Heart of stone. :(

[beastiegirrl101]

I think I'm so anti V-Day because I've never really had a good experience either in or out of a relationship on Valentines Day.

[abcdefz]

How many days a year could you honestly get away with writing a poem for your girl? Not too often. It'd get pretty annoying.

[Kid Presentable]

I'm not vehement about it. It's any other day. Why show my girl I love her on this one day? I try to do so on as many days as I can. We don't say "Hey it's Valentine's Day let's get angry about it". It's just a stupid commercial holiday and it should inspire nothing more than indifference. We'll get there, as a people.

[kll]

The radio this morning mentioned that more people get caught cheating on V-day than any other day of the year (i.e. wife finds bank statement with more than one set of flowers charged, lingerie she never received, husband late for dinner (as he was out with drinks w/ his mistress), etc.)

[abcdefz]

Makes sense.

[abcdefz]

Hey! We don't have a dog! :mad:

[AceFace]

I love Valentine's Day, whether I'm dating or not.
It's a great excuse to be doing what you should be doing all year long.

seriously, you are the smartest man alive.

my thoughts are this... you're dating a girl. if she feels like valentines
is important to her, don't ignore that. she's telling you what makes
her feel loved. stop being all defensive about it and see that some
women are just going to love to be loved.

you don't have to kiss her ass or anything... and you don't have to
buy her anything (that "hallmark holiday" b/s is such b/s in itself.
it doesn't have to be cards and bears and chocolate).

my husband and i are just making time for each other. he took the night off.
we're making dinner together (something we never do) and then we're
gonna cuddle up by a fire and watch movies and have rough sex.

:x

[beastieangel01]

I liked Valentine's Day when I was a kid because it was fun to pass out cards. I just remember thinking to myself though "DO NOT give any that say 'be mine' to the boys, no no no" because I did not want to give the wrong impression. haha.


Now?
zzzz.

a 3 dollar flower would do me fine and even then, whatever. A made up holiday. We have birthdays and christmas already.

[abcdefz]

I really really hope I get home and there's no Valentine's Day card from my mom. I always thought that was pretty sick.

[MC Moot]

^pfffffttttt...nonsense...maybe post puberty but I counted on a card and cinamon hearts from ma till I was like 13....

[MC Moot]

Here's what I'm giving any lady who comes by my desk...:)

Yeah, well. I'm 41 1/2, so it seems pretty sick.

My mom's pretty much always made me sick, anyway, though.

[jammytastic]

im in the door right? and theres a valentines card there for me. who sent it to me? oh im all of a quiver. WHO FUCKING LOVES ME?????


seriously though where did it come from? i cant think of anyone thats been giving me the glad eye in the last ages.

i swear if its from a friend or something im going to stab them.

:confused:

[Yorkshire~Rose]

It's a very quiet Valentines evening for me. My hubby drew the short straw and has to work the late shift :(

He'll be in around 1am...

And if he wakes me up i'll kill 'im :D

We did have a nice day out today though with Ava.

[miss soul fire]

How many times do I have to tell you guys that Valentine's Day is on June 12th!!! I guess only in Brazil, but that's because Saint Antônio's Day (on June 13th). Ohhhh, well! Enjoy this magnificent day!:p

Actually I never cared about Valentine's Day no matter with or without a boyfriend. It's just a stupid day and I have a boyfriend.

[jammytastic]

im going babysitting now.

i think i feel like if i at least have something to do then people wont think im a horrible old spinster with no chance of every having a lovely man love me.

eh. not really who cares its another day and sandra ALWAYS has loads of ice cream in the fridge and peter has the best dvd collection ever.

plus they have more brain training so when i come back ill be all clever and full of ice cream. awesome. stick yer flowers up yer hole.

[MC Moot]

Yeah, well. I'm 41 1/2, so it seems pretty sick..

Bro...you look good for ya years...(y)

*signs up to brown rice and spinach regiment*

:D

[abcdefz]

Dude, I'm not sending you flowers. You know that, right?

[DandyFop]

I don't understand making a big fuss either way. If you want to use it as an excuse to treat your loved one(s) to something special, go ahead.

SINGLE AWARENESS DAY LOL people can suck my dick. Shut up.

[Dorothy Wood]

I actually don't know why people get upset or excited about valentine's day. I admit I'm a little excited, but only because my darling dear suggested last week that we go cheesy and do it up mainstream style.

I don't know how far that goes beyond eating at a chain restaurant that will most likely be filled with tourists and teenagers, or teenage tourists on dates. I am going to wear a blouse that's his favorite though, because it highlights my boobies. and I just printed out that choo choo choose you card. thanks moot!

WE ARE SO IRONIC!

[beastiegirrl101]

I'm going to make my fav dinner and dessert and watch Love Actually and then probably pass out on the couch after a few large glasses of wine.

<3 you all.

[venusvenus123]

haha, i got a surprise card and a hair twirl. my day was special. :)

[jennyb]

I got a card from mommy and a super cute glittery homemade one from my niece and... one on it's way from Canada...

I just had half a gooey chocolate cupcake.

I see nothing wrong with a day that celebrates romance and love and chocolate! Even though I have a boyfriend on this day he's way far away, so tonight I shall go home and hug my cat friend, whom I love dearly. Yay for LOVE!

[DandyFop]

My friend is coming over to watch the Cheaters marathon on G4.

SWEET

[Auton]

i love valentines day, and even when i don't have somebody to spend the day with, i'm not bitter towards it- i just feel depressed. today was off the chain.

surriously.

[trailerprincess]

I got a sweet text from a former fling that I am still in regular contact with but not a dot from the boy that I supposed to be 'seeing'

hmmmm....to paraphrase Michael Bluth 'I might have made a huge mistake'

:rolleyes:

[ET]

Who needs the 14th when I do something special every weekend... IN BED!!!!11!!!!!!

Really though, Valentine's Day is corporate Kay Jewelers bullshit. I didn't even buy anything yesterday. Nothing.

[venusvenus123]

why would you? love is free. :cool:

[abcdefz]

Do people who hate Valentine's Day hate Christmas just as much? I'm talking about people who aren't Christians -- at least they
have a slim, un-Biblical reason for celebrating. I can't imagine any holiday which is more foisted upon the public with huge
commercial expectations than Christmas.

[Kid Presentable]

So, how many people had anal sex yesterday? Don't be shy...

Christmas is drinking season. In the post-off-drinking-season-drinking-season, the advent of a TRUE reason to get loaded is most welcome.

[TurdBerglar]

i don't like christmas as well. i don't really like any needless shit that people get so stressed out over.

[Dorothy Wood]

well, my valentine's day was pretty awesome. I brought some presents to the restaurant and my boyfriend was like, "uhh, what is all this? I didn't know we were doing presents" and acted like it was too much. until I told him that I only spent $6. then he was alright with it. we had a pretty good dinner (I only paid the tip, huzzah!), then went back to his place and got stoned and watched Flight of Conchords and ate chocolate. Then it turned out he had covered the bed in rose petals and put on a red light in his room. :p so gay. it got pretty hetero though. ifyaknowwhatimsayin

he said he doesn't celebrate valentines day, so that was pretty neat that he got into it.

breakfast in bed this morning too! :o
