If I could I would make soooo much money bribing him to not put them on-line I could say it was an old romantic tradition.... Ahhh! and I'd have to wax his legs first for astetic reasons *evil grin*
You have a deal. And first up, you can send Philo my way... oh wait. Damn! Even you get the straight ones hitting on you. As for me, I have Janelle at the bank who is absolutely adorable and flirts endlessly. And she is beautiful too. She reminds me of Jennifer Hudson but with better (completely flawless) skin. And there is also Joy who does my hair. This one thinks she is going to turn me and I am terrified I am going to break her heart. She is just to sweet for that to happen. But to be honest, I think she is to skinny but if you like twiggy blonds with big personalities...
Yeah but like Zion said, this could be a good thing. There might be some singles there and starting a relationship on Valentines day is always a good thing.
Baba, if you wish, but please don't drown in it K'ehleyr takes online flirting very seriously and does not wish to be held responsible for any mess. *kiss*
I keep trying to get you to come up here and meet my sister-in-law. She desparately needs someone to do the cooking and cleaning and balancing her budget - cuz her mom is getting fed up with it.
You better believe it! I'd really like to know what the fuck it is too. I had an arrangement like that with a girl friend of mine once. The only difference was that, if we didn't find anybody, we'd go home with each other. I used to be that guy too. You know, the ideal boyfriend. But now I'm just a heartbreaker. Seriously! I think your analysis is a little off there, J. (and I think you know it too), but it's pretty obvious you're just not meeting the right women. Like I said, heartbreaker.
Thanks. Not sure what kind of washing you mean...if it is laundry we each do our own and if it is dishes, I do them more than she does...and we cuddle every night anyway.
My plan for tomorrow? I will sleep in, and then go running for 3+ hours. Eventually, I will make it back to the dorms, and probably be completely and utterly exhausted the rest of the day. If I have any energy or ambition left at that point, and this is a big if, I will hobble out, buy season 4 of House, and spend the rest of my haze-filled day watching the man who hates everyone. However, if all works as plan, there will be so little blood and oxygen going to my brain that I won't even realize that I missed this "holiday". If the person I like wasn't out of town all weekend, I might have considered leaving her an anonymous kind gesture, but since she's not around, I won't lose any sleep over leaving that out of my dastardly plans.
*lmao* These days, the girls wouldn't be squealing, they'd be grimacing, bitching about "Doesn't that guy know you're not ready to walk down the eisle yet? Get a clue, Buddy. She's just not that into you, or she'd already be living with you." Meanwhile they'd be planning a feasible distraction and an escape down the building's back stairs to the woman's vehicle or a waiting cab. Tomolak: Dude, I feel for ya. I hate weddings & receptions. I've made it quite public why. I avoid them like thai & mexican restaurants, as I'm sick of hearing about them from every perspective. Yet, if *I* try to get anything accomplished, I'm reminded at great length ~why~ I'm nowhere near financially or sexually qualified / deserving, yet (no longer) sucked-in by these idiot couples when the initial infatuation wears off & reality truly begins at the first attempt at changing a diaper, or, going out to drink or just horse-ass around.
Being a single, valentines day feels like a slap in the face. I'm going to do something nice for myself tomorrow, and get a massage and eat lots of sushi with friends for dinner
Holidays requiring arbitrary displays of emotion are sickening. I refuse to play Hallmark's reindeer games.
You can call it a corporate scam or whatever but it's nice to see a couples walking around with that dazed look in their eyes. That said, it sucks that I don't have anyone
I think it's become massively over-commercialized, and I kind of feel sorry for people who think they have to buy a crapload of presents or candy to satisfy the expectations of their significant other (especially if their significant other actually does expect them to shell out big bucks as a gesture of affection). However, as I always seem to be single on Valentine's Day (and every other day of the year, come to think of it), I have the relief of not having to give a tiny rat's ass about the day. I just ignore it as much as possible. That said, if any genuine romantics feel that Valentine's Day truly is a special day to show their loved one just how important they are and treat them to something nice -- hey, whatever. More power to you. As for me, my current avatar is the closest I'll come to getting into the spirit of the day.
Why do they need to be arbritrary? The commercialism is awful, but why does that have to ruin it? Don't engage in it. Doing so doesn't require you to be a grouch. Make your own valentines. Do something genuine. Anyway, to hell with you misanthropes. I made a valentine for all of you. Suckers. I love those, and that one in particular. Brandon Bird's stuff is brilliant.
The eve of the Roman feast of Lupercalia. Naked youths would run through Rome, anointed with the blood of sacrificed dogs and goats, waving thongs cut from the goats. If a young woman was struck by the thong, fertility was assured. Pope Gelasius I decided this was a bit too much, and co-opted the Roman holiday to be the Feast of St. Valentine in 484 A.D.
