Valentine's Day: Yay or Nay, Hooray?

[K'Ehleyr]

Fishnets?! I feel like I'm stuck in a Time Warp or something...

"Let's do the TW again". . Yep I can just imagine my mans face if I came out, corset et al. Then again if he did it , would cost too much in port to pursuade him! Oh but the photos would be precious

I'm sure your man would insist on having his photos taken.

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*

 

[AstroSmurf]

Awwwhh... Well I am basically the same and have yet to find anyone either. I don't know what to tell you... because if I did I would help myself too.

...

We can try this: If a woman hits on you, refer her to me. If a man hits on me, I'll refer him to you. It could be like an exchange program.

J.

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...

This Valentine's Day will be interesting because I'm going to a wedding reception. I'm still single, hate it, and going to a reception celebrating a newly formed couple. I just realized that this week. Not sure how I feel about it, but hopefully a good time will be had by all.

Wow. Irony is just really kicking you in the balls with that one, isn't it?

J.

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.

 

[K'Ehleyr]

I'm afraid I couldn't imagine anything at that point, as I will have fainted. In a good way.

Well thank you Baba .

Don't guffaw! I would not joke about something as monumentally important as K'Ehleyr in fishn....

*faints*

...ets.

Valentine's greetings are sent to you too

Awww. *blush* Thank you, you made my day.

BTW in heels I do have incredible legs sleep well

Sleep? SLEEP? Are you *trying* to make me drown in my own drool?

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*

Just a note for the ladies:

I cook, I clean, I do laundry, I balance the budget, I hold intelligent conversations, I'm a romantic at heart, I'm deeply passionate and always willing to add a moment of excitement to my life, and I tend to listen very well.

J.

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.

 

[Gryffindorian]

I like to put on a brave face on this day.

Well, in my case, I am single and not attached, but I wouldn't say it sucks. Valentine's Day for me is the same as Christmas is for Muslims, Jews, or non-religious people who don't celebrate the holidays. If someone greets me "Happy Valentine's Day," I will return the favor. It doesn't offend or bother me at all.

That is such a cool view.
To Drone, Valentine's day greetings

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Parmachai. (Did I spell that right?)

 

[Philo]

You know, it's too bad neither of us is gay or a woman, because I think we'd be pretty good for each other. You should come visit me, I know a lot of great women who would love to be with you -- and if not, you can be my Valentine.

Seriously, though, I'm sorry for anybody who's having a hard time of it this year. I understand that it can be a difficult holiday to endure.

Thank you, that is the nicest compliment I've ever had!

You better believe it!

Combining threads here but can't be bother to look it up, do we know what the 21 club is yet?!

I'd really like to know what the fuck it is too.

We can try this: If a woman hits on you, refer her to me. If a man hits on me, I'll refer him to you. It could be like an exchange program.

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 cook, I clean, I do laundry, I balance the budget, I hold intelligent conversations, I'm a romantic at heart, I'm deeply passionate and always willing to add a moment of excitement to my life, and I tend to listen very well.

I used to be that guy too. You know, the ideal boyfriend. But now I'm just a heartbreaker.

Why haven't you been snapped up already?

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.

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.

Like I said, heartbreaker.

Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Parmachai. (Did I spell that right?)

No! And you just ruined my car mar

 

[Chess Piece Face]

I bought my wife a dozen roses, a balloon that says I Love You and a big teddy bear. I know it's a cliche but I feel like every girl should have that at least once in their lives.

If you back that up with doing the washing up and a cuddle, you are both going to have a great day. Have a lovely time

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.

I hate those diamond commercials - especially Jarrods. They're an insult to my intelligence.
He went to Jared! Squeee!!1!

At first I thought the guy from Subway opened up a jewelry store.

*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.

 

[Unicron]

For all those who dislike Valentine's day, I offer this. Enjoy!

 

[DeVario]

^ Ah man! I wanted to see cupid get FUCKED up!
Good video though. Mirrors my thoughts exactly.

 

[troisboobs]

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

 

[nevermore]

Holidays requiring arbitrary displays of emotion are sickening. I refuse to play Hallmark's reindeer games.

 

[georgy]

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

 

[Daneel]

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.

Anyone else just wanna strangle him with the bow from a candy box?

Just me then.

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.
