Valentine's 2008

[EmeraldRose]

So. It's that time of year again. Either a time to look forward to or a time to shun. What are your plans, or hopes for this Thursday? Need a place to brainstorm a gift for your significant other? Need a place to rant about not having a significant other?

I don't think Andre and I have plans at the moment, as we have not set up for a babysitter. I'm still trying to figure out what to get him, and I need to get kids' Valentine's for our gamerling to give his friends...

Maybe I'll make a special dinner for them...hmmm....

[Pwenet]

*Insert long 50-page rant about this day.*

My plans, assuming they hold true, is to go to a pub near by work with several single co-workers, have a good meal and a few drinks, and see if I can find someone for the night, else I go home and post on these forums.

Note to self - Buy booze for the coming home part.

[Jae]

THURSDAY?! oh my flip.

I'm thinkinnn', buy my beautiful self some chocolate?? In other words, unless somebody confesses their love to me within the next four days (it could happen..) I think only I will be loving myself. :smallwink: I am actually somewhat interested in this one person, slowly giving up on it.

Though, I did promise somebody I'd go to their concert the day after. Somewhat of a friend, although our conversations rather strictly consist of music. Don't have much else to do, so I'll probably be the only one I know attending that. Ha.

[Krade]

I imagine that if I had a girlfriend or signicant other of any kind, I'd probably try to do something romantic and preferably creative. Like flowers and chocolate, no one's ever done that before.

[EmeraldRose]

So, I've remembered/ been reminded that last year, there were Playground V-Day Vbuddies...or something like that.

Anyone who feels like it, you find a V-Day buddy on the Playground and ask them to be your buddy, then put something to that effect in your sig..

I'm going to ask Andre Fairchilde to be my V-Day buddy (surprise). If you want to participate, feel free...otherwise, please continue to post your V-Day woes or wants here. :smallsmile:

[Ego Slayer]

lolwut
Absolutely freakin' nothing. :smallamused:
No seriously... I wouldn't know what I'd do anyway.
Silly day...

^: Virtual Valentines... Day-um... not officially doing that this year?

[EmeraldRose]

Yeah, that Ego. I forgot what it was called exactly...

Also, *hugs Ego* How've ya been?

[Skippy]

Myself, I have never liked this day particularly. I have always thought that when you are fond of someone, you can tell him/her any day of the year. This day it's only more expensive to do so. I will live Valentine's as I always have - As any other day of the year.

Note: I am not against V-Day. And will gladly participate in any activity that is organized here... But in Real Life, I don't think I'll do anything different than any other day.

[Sir_Norbert]

If Dickens had written A Valentine's Day Carol, I'd be Scrooge.

Seriously, what is the point? I don't need a special day to tell Natasia I love her; we tell each other that every day, and many times every day at that. If I want to make an extra-special romantic gesture, it's better to do it on a day of my choosing, because then she knows it's coming from the heart and not the advertising department of Clinton's. The only other point I can see to V-Day is showing off the fact that I have a girlfriend to make people who don't and want one feel even worse, and if that's what it's about, I want no part in it; I've been on the receiving end far too many times already.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Oh sure, now they make a holiday to remind me of my eternal single-ness.

*sniffles*

^: Virtual Valentines... Day-um... not officially doing that this year?

Guess what I found:


*deep breath*




*another deep breath*


I write comedic poems in her name.
I sing her songs which all sound the same.

Although I get stabbed and mutilated,
To be her friend I must be fated

For she doth have a heart of gold
(At the very least, that's what I'm told).

I'll ask it now, as I'm short on time:
Ego, will you be my valentine?


*runs away like all bloody hell* (again...:smalltongue:)


Valentines Day is the work of the fashion industry who just wants there to be one day in the year where pink is the dominant colour.

:smallamused:

I was wondering if there was going to be Virtual Valentine's this year. Oh well...*has nothing to do that day except hopefully IM the one he loves way too late into the night*

[EmeraldRose]

Aww...I remember reading that last year, and thinking it was about time! :smallbiggrin:

[Skippy]

If Dickens had written A Valentine's Day Carol, I'd be Scrooge.

I've been called the Valentine's Grinch several times...

Only one day, though. I'm more like the guy who wears a Santa hat all year 'round.

Not my pink text! It's all I have! Please don't take my pink text...:smalleek:

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

Please, it's not Valentines day (which I'll never understand why you have a holiday about love named after a saint who's main accomplishment was going around and burying the dead), it's Singles Awareness Day, get it right.

[Jae]

which I'll never understand why you have a holiday about love named after a saint who's main accomplishment was going around and burying the dead


We all very much loved him for it.

[Syka]

I highly dislike Valentines Day. Always have, always will. Maybe it stems from bitterness of the fact I never got any flowers or cards or anything in high school while everyone around me was (quite literally, all my friends). I think it's mostly I'm resentful of a day that trivializes something as amazing as love.

My boyfriend is sending a gift up with my family since they are coming up this weekend, and he has to work. I would come home, except we've had this planned for a while (it's a thing my sis needs to do). Me, I'm planning to get post it notes and sticking them around his car with reasons I love him next time I see him.

We were actually discussing this the other day, and really the only reason we're acknowledging it is I think the appease our high school selves. Him, like me, was always the odd man out. And it sucks in a high school situation to feel so alone. Heck, this is the first time a SO is doing anything for me and I haven't been single on a Valentines day since 2003.

The worst part is he kept apologizing because (due to money issues, some of which involve having to get a hotel when he comes to see me) he can't get me anything big. I told him to stop apologizing because I don't want stuff, I want him. Stuff is nice, but he is so much better than that will ever be. I hate that society is making him feel bad because he can't get me random stuff. :smallannoyed:

I'm lucky, though, because we don't show our affection just one day a year. We make sure to let each other know about it everyday, many times a day, through the little things. Like when he called me and turned the radio up when one of our many 'songs' came on the radio. Or when I tracked down the manufacturers of Koala Yummies, a snack he hasn't been able to get since he was a little kid.

...speaking of, I might get a box of those as a reward should he find all the post its. :)

Cheers,
Syka

[The Extinguisher]

I probably should get something, a card or a something like that. I don't want to blow it off completly.

Maybe I'll take her to a movie on the Saturday.

[EmeraldRose]

Wow...I mean, I remember the posts from last year, but I can't say I as expecting so many posts from people to be so cynical!

I don't think of Valentine's as a day for gifts and commercialism. Yes, it is one more day for an expression of love to be singled out...but really...when you have Christmas, then an anniversary on 1-26, and then Valentines, what more do you need, you ask?

I think of it as one more excuse for me to tell my husband (and my son) how I feel about them. As well as the rest of my family, sure it's commercial, but I tell them every day, why not have one day that is supposed to be special.

Valentine's isn't just about a significant other, and perhaps I started this thread with the wrong intention, but love doesn't necessarily only apply to lovers. I love my family and my friends as well, and don;t always show them. Why not have a holiday devoted only to love (Sune would be happy)?

I've found friends here. And I want to show that I appreciate them.

Anyway.....[/rant]

[bluish_wolf]

Oh sure, now they make a holiday to remind me of my eternal single-ness.

*sniffles*
*goes over in the corner and sulks*

Well, you could always play a dating simulator on Valentine's. The real life dating is likely overrated anyway.

[Zakama]

Ohh, Valentines Day thread! That means I'll post this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QMwarr-oxBA) video my friend made. He says he's not anti love, just anti Valentines Day. Like me.

It is a somewhat pointless holiday. For single people, it just rubs in the fact that they are single, and do we really need a day for people to tell their wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands that they love them? That should be every day.

[The Extinguisher]

The way I see it, people who don't like V-day end up dating people that do, so they have to do something, and the whole thing continues.

It's a vicious cycle.

[DarkLightDragon]

I hope noone tries to ask me out for V-Day this year...

*readies greatsword*

Unless its that guy I fancy, but we're really just friends

[MisterSaturnine]

Damn. It's Thursday?

Usually I celebrate Despair Day on the 14th, where I wear either my "I <3 Broken" or "Love Sucks" shirt and play sad songs for people all day, all the while giggling. It's part of my positive negativity philosophy.

For this one though, I have plans. I'll have to go out and buy something tomorrow, perhaps involving chocolate, and figure out how to send it someone's way. Hmmm...

[Ya Ta Hey!]

I'll be doing something important to my future or something I enjoy. I haven't dated for years, and that's A-OK because there's always something to look forward to single or not :smallsmile:

My thoughts are this:

Having a good significant other definitely completes your happiness, but its on you to determine your own self worth and your enjoyment of life to begin with. You are more than your ability to get people to like you, so there's no need to attach so much emtional weight to your marital status. I know a guy with dyslexia, rotting teeth, and a promising career at Wal*Mart, and he found somebody who makes him so happy its...alarming, frankly. There really is someone for everyone, so why worry about who's rubbing their love story in your face? Its about as rare as air molecules, and for better or worse, it has zero bearing on your human worth unless you allow it to.

You generally find the right person while you're out living your life, not desperately rifling through the couch cushions of society for them like loose change. So don't be hating on the opposite sex or the formalized day of love appreciation/singles awareness because it isn't out to get you. Its like any other holiday, in that its meaning is whatever you want it to be.

[Em Blackleaf]

There's supposed to be a school dance on Valentine's Day (I think my Valentine's day "gift," if I have one at all, would be the fact that it didn't have to decorate this one). I plan on going to school and mooching off of my friends' candy, since I won't be getting any of my own (what with their boyfriends and my lack thereof). So, I don't think I would have a chance in Hell with getting a date for the dance, so I'll just go and dance with my friends, as usual (when they're not dancing with their dates). And then I'll go home and go online for the rest of the night. I don't have school Friday (I think), maybe I'll do something fun then (parentheses!).

Valentines day is just an excuse for fat people to stray from their diets and eat a bunch of chocolate.

[Castaras]

Heh. Valentines again.

I'm not exactly the most romantic of people at the best of times, so I'll just do what I always do these days...^.^

*waits for a specific person to come online, so they can talk again*

[Jibar]

I'm very very weird about Valentine's Day.
I've never had anyone for the actual day, so the whole thing just glosses over me. It's just another holiday I don't celebrate.
The most I've ever done is bought all my friends a single red rose each.
This year, eh, I dunno. I'll probably be here, doing the same thing I usually do. I may try and save some of my friends from awkward Valentine's moments by inviting them to see Juno or something. Hmmm... is Juno out? I dunno. Might try and sneek into Sweeney Todd otherwise.
My other plans have already been ruined though. I was gonna try and see Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly play, but turns out tickets are sold out.

[Tempest Fennac]

I've never had a girlfriend (or any interest in geting one), so I class Valentines Day as a non-issue (also, I see the idea of waiting for a specific day before doing the sort of things people do on Valenties day to be stupid being as the other days of the year are just as good for giving someone presents). Admittedly, that is really the case with every other holiday as well.

[Icewalker]

I'm with Tempest Fennac, at least on the first part. Don't have one, not actively looking for one, so Valentine's Day is just a normal day for me.

[Midnight Son]

Wow...I mean, I remember the posts from last year, but I can't say I as expecting so many posts from people to be so cynical!Considering that my first girlfriend dumped me on Valentine's and my most recent debacle into the forrays of love began last Valentine's...Yeah, I think I have every right to detest this particular day.

[Mordokai]

I imagine that if I had a girlfriend or signicant other of any kind, I'd probably try to do something romantic and preferably creative. Like flowers and chocolate, no one's ever done that before.

Pretty much same here. Oh well, another Valentine without anybody to share it with.

While the line over this one may sound bitter, it's not. Well, not too much. I agree with skippy on this one, it's too marketingly organised. If you love somebody you show him that every day of the year, not just on February 14. Perhaps that is jsut the day we see it more.

[Pyrian]

I like Valentine's. It's an excuse to go over the top. Okay, to go further over the top than I normally would. :smallbiggrin:

[KindaChang]

I plan on being over the top drunk.

[Felixaar]

The thing about Valentines is its a set date, rather than just a "ill express my love with some over the top gesture next week... next month... when I get paid... when I get my bonus... when I've paid off the car..." where you keep procrastinating. On Valentines you kind of have to have something planned, and do it - as well all know, deadlines do us procrastinators the world of good. To be honest - and I don't mean to offend anyone, so sorry in advance if I do or already have - but I think people who complain about everyone being so happy on valentines and oh woe is me I dont have anyone have got some serious growing up to do.

And for the matter, I dont have a girlfriend, so that aint an other side of the window speculation either. Three valentines in a row with no chick by my side, practical jokes ahoy!

They never should have taught me how to use the PA system at work.

[Tempest Fennac]

That is a good point. I tend to think hat if you really love someone, you should just be able to express it at any point, though (also, I don't even want a girlfriend, so that comment didn't offend me).

[Fin]

Its a little disappointing that so many peole have boiled Valentines day down to the idea of telling someone you love them. I'm with Emerald Rose on this one Valentines day is a celebration of the best of all humanities many facets, our ability to show love, compassion and friendship to others. Its especially relevent at this period of time, our society as it is has very little love in it. The world today doesn't seem to have time for it anymore and that is a shame. So i think that its nice that at least one day a year people will take time to think about the most beautiful of emotions.

[Rumda]

well baring any miraculous feats of romantic persuasion and a ungodly high blood alcohol and/or caffeine level I will be spending this valentines day just like i have done every other one, alone and happy in the fact that my already dwindling bank balance isn't put under undue stain

[Jimblee]

1) Bake a cake
2) Go out to the movies and dinner
3) Eat the cake alone
4) Go to bed alone
5) Cry myself to sleep

Maybe somewhere in the middle I'll call up a friend who actually has love and talk before they go out

Y'know, I wouldn't have done this every year of my life if I didn't love it somehow

[Kaelaroth]

I think I'm going to walk round and appreciate the fact that there is happiness and love in the world, even if, at the moment, I'm not currently endowed with it. :smallsmile:

[I'm da Rogue!]

Valentine's day is for showing-off.

[Dallas-Dakota]

I don't like valentines day. I feel that for these kind of things you should be able to do every day of the year, not some special commercialized muck up.
And I am ever constantly reminded of it becouse my middle name is Valentine....:smallmad: :smallsigh:

Valentine's day is for showing-off.
I completely agree *lip-locks anyway*

Oh sure, now they make a holiday to remind me of my eternal single-ness.

*sniffles*
*goes over in the corner and sulks*
*does exactly the same, only in the other corner)

[Pwenet]

*does exactly the same, only in the other corner)

Hey!

Get out of my corner!

:smalltongue:

*Goes back to sulking*

[Madmal]

Valentine's day is for showing-off.

I agree completely. i've got enough with couples moshing around on college and on the park in front of my house.

*goes up to dig out that Super Soaker sniping rifle Death gave about two years ago*

*and a dozen of eggs too*

Never had a "significant other" myself, and since we never had classes on February (hey, it's summer here), i've never gotten cards or stuff like that. Of course, i'm pretty sure i managed to scare them all away due to my now-dormant temper.:smallannoyed:

[SoD]

My plans? One phone call...to the other side of the world: re: Helsinki-Hobart.

And then spend the next few weeks feeling a tad depressed...

[Shraik]

Same thing I've done every year. Gone home and do nothing. I wanted to ask a girl out this week, for saturday, before Valentine's day. I was gonna use the whole week to reach that goal, but she was absent from school the whole time. Now I have three days, not enough in my opnion.

Valentine's day is just depressing in my opnion.

[Jonesh]

I've never had a girlfriend during that date and don't think I will have one this year either. Had an ex who's birthday is then though, but that's as close as I got :smalltongue: Used to be depressed about "always" being single during that date, but now I'm over it.
I'm just going to wish all of my friends a nice Valentine's Day :smallsmile:

[Morty]

Ugh. Valentine's Day makes me sick. The amount of raging commerce hidden beneath fake "love" is disgusting, and using feelings like love for marketing purposes is generally awful. Do people really need one day in a year to tell someone they love her/him? Nope. Valentine's Day is a farce thought up by marketing specialists to sell more stuff that was caught up by whole population and thus turning February 14th into a sickening display of falsehood and shallowness.
Sorry, just had to get that out of my chest. Carry on.

[ZombieRockStar]

I highly dislike Valentines Day. Always have, always will. Maybe it stems from bitterness of the fact I never got any flowers or cards or anything in high school while everyone around me was (quite literally, all my friends). I think it's mostly I'm resentful of a day that trivializes something as amazing as love.

Bah. I never got cards except in the early years of grade school where we were told we had to give them to everyone.

But I don't think it trivializes love. Sure, it's commercial and hyped, but the only ones who trivialize love are those who let the day get to them (as in, they express their love in a commercial and hyped manner specifically on this day). Kinda like how Britney Spears didn't trivialize marriage all those years ago with her one day union, just hers. To quote Morrissey: "it's not like any other love. This one is different because it's ours."

I was kidding about the pink text. I just like it as an excuse to do something


I don't think of Valentine's as a day for gifts and commercialism. Yes, it is one more day for an expression of love to be singled out...but really...when you have Christmas, then an anniversary on 1-26, and then Valentines, what more do you need, you ask?

My birthday, Christmas, her birthday, Valentine's, and the anniversary of the day when a certain awkward PM was sent are all within a 21/2 month span. :smallamused:

I dunno...maybe I get the same feelings about the trivialization and commercialization of Valentine's as I do about the commercialization and secularization of Christmas. That is, to say: "not this stupid debate again!!!" I don't really care either way. Like I said, it gives me an excuse to do something. But, then, I've been walking around with romantic lyrics in my sig for the past 7 months anyways, so it's just in my nature. :smalltongue:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Hmm, we are a sad little bunch. Time to cheer up.
*pokes Emeraldrose, I'm Da Rogue, Tialait into the thread*

[SurlySeraph]

I do not now, nor have I ever, had a girlfriend. I don't know what I'll do on Valentine's Day, though. I keep deciding I'll try to be celibate, then remembering how much I like this particular girl, then remembering that I decided that I'd missed my chance and that she probably isn't attracted to me anymore, then noticing that she's acting like she's attracted to me, and - GAHH! WHY ARE WOMEN SO CONFUSING?!!!

And then there's this other girl who really, really acts like she's attracted to me, and is cute, but I don't really feel anything for her, except maybe I might start feeling something for her, but I don't know if I want to be attracted to her or not, and *ramble ramble ramble*

And Valentine's Day, what with all the random couples wandering around, plus being named after a saint, will just make me even more confused about what the moral thing to do is.

So, in sum: I have no idea what I'll do on Valentine's Day, but probably nothing.

[Narmoth]

1) Bake a cake
2) Go out to the movies and dinner
3) Eat the cake alone
4) Go to bed alone
5) Cry myself to sleep

Maybe somewhere in the middle I'll call up a friend who actually has love and talk before they go out

Y'know, I wouldn't have done this every year of my life if I didn't love it somehow

Sounds like a plan. I'll skip the cryin gpart though. Real men don't cry about anything but loss of loved ones.

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

I don't think of Valentine's as a day for gifts and commercialism.

But Valentine's Day is the poster child of Hallmark Holidays. I'm convinced that the only real reason Valentine's Day is as big as it is, is that Hallmark has convinced people they need to go buy cards and gifts. I'm sure my parents will end of getting me something. Last year they got me a few things, including chocolate covered espresso beans. Since my mom had class, my dad and I went out to eat. When we got back, my dog had gotten into the beans. Mainly due to me not thinking that they were somewhere she could get them when we left. So, at 10:30 we brought my dog down to the U of Minn. vet hospital to have her stomach pumped.

[Sir_Norbert]

Like I said, it gives me an excuse to do something. But, then, I've been walking around with romantic lyrics in my sig for the past 7 months anyways, so it's just in my nature. :smalltongue:
Leonard Cohen, no less :) Isn't he awesome?

[Nightwing]

I'm thinking card board cut out of my self that I will bring to school with me. Maybe I will were my lip stick and some thing nice...

[Swordlol]

I plan on being over the top drunk.

Thats St. Patricks Day.


I plan on taking her to a museum, we're both interested in that type of stuff. Maybe the Met... not sure. Not the Whitney or Modern Art, we both hate that stuff.

I <3 her sooo much.

[Dallas-Dakota]

And Valentine's Day, what with all the random couples wandering around, plus being named after a saint, will just make me even more confused about what the moral thing to do is.

So, in sum: I have no idea what I'll do on Valentine's Day, but probably nothing.

Pfft, being named after a saint... You have it easy, try having Valentine as your middle name:smallsigh:

[zeratul]

Well I personally will be snowboarding, listening to death metal, and pining.

[Milanius]

I hope noone tries to ask me out for V-Day this year...

*readies greatsword*

Damn, I was wondering where I left that big lump of sharp metal :/

In any case, my plans: nothing, nada, zero. As usual. However, I will try to reconcilliate with a friend; I spoke very harshly with her lately and she might respond with my proposition of truce with a virtual shotgun slug to the face, but what the hell. I got to try at least.

[Ranna]

I would like valentines day if it wasn't such a card like gimmick

I would also like valentines day if people were friendly enough to wish it too each other on the street - or maybe even smile every now and then

So it looks like I don't particularly like valentines day HOWEVER I do quite enjoy it, even if i do have to wear shoes to go to a fancy meal with my boyfriend and buy stupid cards to "profess my undying love" erlack - in essence V day is everything I hate about a holiday and i think due to that I actually quite like it.

[KindaChang]

Thats St. Patricks Day.

[ForzaFiori]

I'm with Pyrian. I dont think V-Day is the only day i'm supposed to show Bev how much I care about her.

however, it IS a day where she can't tell me to stop going so over the top. XD

plus, this is my first V-day with a SO (well, technically second, but the other one was where we had just started going out, so we didn't really do anything. I think we traded chocolate or something)

unfortunately, i can't do anything with her b/c of school and soccer practice. I will be getting her a gift though.

@Zombie: I feel your pain. the same thing goes on with me and Bev. christmas, my birthday, anniversary, v-day, her birthday. i'm gonna be drained of money around this time for as long as i date her.

[Syka]

Wow, my boy and I have it easy. :) Valentines in February, my birthday in May, his in July, Anniversary in September and Christmas in December. Nice and spread out. :smallsmile:

Although I was just told today he might not be able to come up until two weeks after Valentines day instead of one. :smallfrown:

Cheers,
Syka

"We will no longer be considering Michigan State University on our list of top 10 party schools because we feel it unfair to include professionals on a list of amateurs." -Playboy Magazine

I do not know how to respond to that.

[Thes Hunter]

Even though me and Trog say I Love You! like 10 million times a day, it's nice to have a reason to do something special.

It's nice to get all dolled up, and go out to eat, have a nice dinner with lots of wine, come home all giggly and fall into each others arms. We don't do that as much as we should, like we will say, "Yeah, it would be nice.. but maybe we should save some money or do this or that." So it's nice to have another time a year, that isn't our anniversary when it's made a priority.

So yeah, even though Trog and I show love to each other every day in the small ways, it's nice to turn it up to 11 every once in a while.

[Jack Squat]

I have no idea what plans will be for me. I'll probably make them on the 13th.

Right now it looks like we may be going down to Laser Quest along with my brother and his date, although that depends on if they decide to do that.

Otherwise, we may very well just go out to eat, head back to her place, turn the lights down low, and watch Sahara or some movie she decides on (I'm for Sahara...or Boondock Saints, but the former is much more likely than the latter).

[Brickwall]

I have an idea.

First, I'll wake up between 8:30 and 12:00. Depends on what I did last night. I'll get ready, and head to classes. I'll have a quiz, and probably do OK, and turn in some homework. I'll go laze around on the blag-o-blog, then I'll have dinner. Then, I'll head to my stagefighting practice, and sit in a corner most of the time, since nobody likes to talk to me. Then I'll head home, and maybe draw, or maybe just interwob some more. Or both. Pretty much a repitition of every Thursday since January started. Oh, except I have a mug for my room now, so I will probably have tea or hot chocolate.

Oh, and I'll probably be sickened by cutesy PDAs happening all around me. Ugh. Stupid day. You humans breed enough as it is, even without a celebration.

[Pagz]

I think... I think I will give a girl roses... I'm at a point in my life where I just finished high school and am going onto university at the end of the month, and I have many regrets from my teenage life... things I should of done, opportunities I missed... I'd like to move onto my adulthood looking back and thinking "I should have done X" as little as possible... Hopefully in doing this... I can make her feel special :smallsmile:.

[SpiderMew]

Great... I almost forgot about this today....
There has only been one year where I actually had someone on valentine's day, and she was on the other side of the country.

I had flowers and a piece of jewelry delivered to her school, she was called out of class and had to go to the office to pick it up. Then she had to walk back to class with a big thing of flowers.

Then im going to remember why all my girlfriends have dumped me...
Because I actually think that (with a relationship) I have someone to lean on. My whole family comes to me to be the emotional rock and sometimes I need someone I can lean on, sure I listen and take it in, but I want to be able to share and get some emotional support, but nooooooo, they all called me needy...

Then I'll probably think more about that stupid woman I was engaged to, paid 500 for a gold ring with both of our birthstones in it... and she goes and ended up cheating on me with some ******* she met over world of warcraft...
If we had 2 freaking computers then we would have ended up spending time together..... I regret giving her that for Christmas.. she called me needy for trying to spend time with her away from wow....

I need to find someone who's emotionally mature enough to handle a real relationship, or realize that im never going to have another human to turn to and im gong to end up spending my life as someone's sex toy.....
Cuz that's all they ever want me for!!
:sigh:
Not saying I don't like sex, im just saying I want more then just that....
No one wants a real relationship anymore.

This is what Valentine's day reminds me of...

[Leper_Kahn]

Here's what I'm doing for Valentines day.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee281/Leper_Kahn/Photo4.jpg

There were supposed to be two, but a shaving mishap destroyed one. Now I'll just have to say, "There still room for one more. :smallwink:"

[Reinboom]

Con of V-Day for me:
One of my nephews' birthdays is on valentines day. This particular one will be his 18th.
This nephew I was raised with for about 4 and a half years and eventually it seemed like he was more like that little brother that you just can't stand.
He is now in a mental institution in Detroit, the particular one only his mother knows of, and is restricting everyone else from finding out. I tried getting in contact with him last summer and the summer before, but alas, I can't. So, not being able to tell him at least someone misses him for his 18th birthday is impossible.
Not at all to what everybody else puts with valentines day.. but.. it still bothers me.

Pros of V-Day:
I'm undecided. The idea of having an extra day that is preset for everyone to easily remember to try to do something extra for the one you care about is nice. Yes, it's good to do this on every other day - however - one would tire quickly if they tried doing something special every day.
This helps with that a bit.

Yet, it is a bit overdone and I can declare my love every day.

However, chocolate is cheap on the 15th...

I'll call my opinion: undecided in general, but it's nice to have a warm reminder of one wonderful thing in my life. Not that I needed it - just a little extra tis all is nice.
Can I just roll a d20 for this? :smalleek:

[Vaynor]

Great, a day to feel especially lonely. No thanks.

While it is never truely possable for any man to understand women as whole, you can learn to understand the women your with (because knlowdge women is always cross class)
Just try to be a good listener, learn to treat women properly... Its little things like always making sure you hold the door open for them or always noticing when they do something differnt like cut there hair, or try on a new shade of make up. Learning what all her favorate things are help.

As for actualy obtaning a girlfriend... idk lol Self Confidence?

I hope they're bat-shaped cookies. I love to rip their head off. That is also a good tip for Valentines.

[Deepblue706]

Valentine's day is stupid. Holidays are stupid in general, but this is the stupidest. I enjoy attention from the ladies (well, some of it I could be better-off without), but I especially hate cards, roses, the colors pink and red, and I loathe candy hearts. Especially ones say intentionally misspell words to seem "cute". This concept of "Wuv" confuses and enrages me!

Valentine's day, if anything, should be about exclusively male gladitorial combat (or perhaps just competing in American Gladiators), where the victors afterward acquire a woman and mate.

That said, I have no plans for this upcoming Valentine's Day. But, I hope everyone else enjoys theirs.

[Eksar Lindisfar]

It is most likely pointless for my to give my opinion since I really don't care about Valentine, we do not need one day in the year to give something to our significant other, we can do it all the year, so, I see valentine as pointless as complaining about it, for me, it'll be another day.

[Jonesh]

I think Tool has a very good song that fits with V-day. "Stinkfist". It's roughly about a couple that will do anything to show to themselves that they love eachother.
Oh, 18+ on the lyrics I guess. :smallwink:

Still not really caring about V-day, you know, but the pupils in my school can buy roses as gifts to eachother.Just maybe, maybe I'll get one? ;D
At least it's eh, relevant to the celebration of Valentine's Day?
Pip pip and cheerio! :smalltongue:

[Santiago]

I'm going to spread rose petals on my girlfriend's bed with a card and a box of chocolate next to the pillows. Then while she's distracted by that, I'll bust out the roses in the vase. :smallbiggrin:

Oh boy, they did that at my old high school as well. Me and my girlfriend would be sneezing al day long from allergies and the like. Not our type of fun.
And more on topic, my girlfriend cant resist the urge to do something for valentines day. She probably has some cart lying around some time now she cant wait to give to me. Actually, now that I think about it I feel kind of bad about it, lets see if I can concoct something very lovely for her as well for once. What to give the girl even more geek then me…

[Pyrian]

If you're feeling mopey on Valentine's Day, look for someone else who's also looking mopey. There's usually lots of 'em around. It's not the worst day to be single; it's actually one of the best, IMO.

Stop moping and do something romantic you bunch of whiners.Alas! But we have no one to be romantic to! Or maybe I'm just way too picky (probably that).

[sktarq]

Ooh V-Day. The grandest of Hallmark holidays. Frankly I love surprising a GF with random special day presents or better yet activities. However I've often thought of V-day as the excuse to go over the top with such "special day" plans. Due to travel arangments I won't be seeing this particular lass until Sat. after work so I'm thinking of taking her up into the mountains above town. Watching the sunset and the ocean whilst having a supper picnic then breaking out a couple blankets and watching for meteors when it gets dark.

[Charity]

Alas! But we have no one to be romantic to! Or maybe I'm just way too picky (probably that).

I bet you have, there is bound to be someone you've met whom you ... desire the company of. Make some mad romantic gesture to them (unless they are attached in which case prolly not such a good idea) if it all goes tits up you can blame valentine day madness, there are just as many ladies out there whom have nobody special on Valentines day.

I am going to cook my new lady dinner, and she is making dessert is our plan. I need to think of something light (not going to make us doze off at 6:30), something a cretin like me can cook, and something tasty that isn't fish (she doesn't like fish).

Thoughts?

(PS: Haters, I know where you're coming from. Hate away.)

[Amotis]

I made this (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,1977,FOOD_9936_25588,00.html) a few days ago and it's light and pretty easy. Ask ER about what wine to us tho, I have no idea. :smalltongue:

(PS: Haters, I know where you're coming from. Hate away.)


You could make tacos. Here's how I make them.
Go get yourself a pound of ground beef, lower the fat % the better.
Get some corn tortillas (there the smaller ones) some cooking oil.
A few good avocados, some seasoning salt a bag of mixed graded cheese (craft has a Mexican blend, this is my favorite. You'll also need lemon juice, mayonnaise and some green hot sauce.

Ok your tools, you'll need
A) A pan to cook your beef in
B) A smaller fry pan to cook your shells in
C) Various tools to work with like wooden spoons and some stuff.

Ok so first you cook your meat, you sprinkle the pan with the seasoning salt and put the meat on it, turn the fire on (might as well go high) and with your wooden spoon break the meat apart and keep stirring it up. Sprinkle on a bit more of the seasoning salt, but not too much. You'll know its about done when you wont see any pink anymore. One thing I like to do at this point is move all the meat to one side of the pan and tilt it so the oily fats drain to one side, then I sprinkle a bit of seasoning salt on that and some pepper too and mix it all up again for a bit and then drain it if needed.

For your shells your going to want to get the oil hot first, then turn it down to about medium flame.
put the tortillas in one at a time, and when they form bubbles turn them over until they bubble, if you want soft shells you can take them out now. If you want hard shells I suggest taking a normal spoon and kinda make a fold and make hard shells that way, the longer you fry them the harder they get.

For the guacamole, take a bowl and peal and put in your avocados after you've decored and pealed and removed any bruises. Chop and mash that up as much as you can! Then mix in a spoon full or 2 of mayo, a few squirts of lemon juice, a dash or 2 of salt and pepper, and a little bit of hot sauce.
Mix it all together till its done.

And there you go, everything you need for a SpiderMew style taco dinner.
Everyone loves my tacos.

[sktarq]

Try this as a light meal that can look very impressive

I'd recomend olive oil over butter in this dish
Saute thinnly sliced portabello mushrooms in olive oil or butter-they should be a dark grey-brown throughout and just starting to pick up a lighter brown on the outer surfaces-take them out of the pan with a fork and save the remaining oil/butter. Don't worry if spores fall off during the cooking-it will only help the sauce
take chicken tenders and after washing and patting them dry toss them in flour with italian seasonings. You may wish to cut the tenders in thirds if you want. Makes them bite sized but makes the cooking slightly more sensitive. You can be generous with the oil.
Saute in chicken olive oil or butter-reserve with fork

While all this is happening:

In second pot cook up rice pilaf -just follow the instructions on the box
if you really want to a dash of saffron could be added-but I'd only recomend that if you've plied her with saffron rice before to her approval.

Have this ready for near the last minute just sitting on the side
In third pot/microwave steam up broccoli or brocolini if you can get it, aspargus. To microwave just wash and shake off excess water-wrap in saranwrap/gladwrap (NOT FOIL) and microwave for 2-3 minutes.

Sauce: make a standard rue base then add to the same pan you made the mushrooms and chicken in (If you know rues you can do it in the same pan originally but it can form complications-if you use a different pan remember the oil in the pan yoiu will be adding it to and make it thicker to compensate) instead of milk or cream add marsala wine...dry marsala. Some Basil, A little garlic, Oregano and some more Italian Seasonings-let reduce slowly. Just as it starts to thicken turn it right down and try to hold it at that thickness until you are ready to serve-add more wine or a tiny splash of water to thin back if nessesary. It should valley behind a slow stirring tool but imediatly fill back in. It should be a mule deer colour when you are done.

a minute before you are ready to dish up put the mushrooms and chicken back onto the heat (myself I put them in the sauce and turn up the heat a bit but this can make presentation tricky if you are not practiced) just to warm them up but not cook them. Make a mound of rice just off centre on the plate. Make a Cresent of the steamed veggies to center the arangement. Place mushrooms and chicken tenders
drizzle the sauce over the whole thing
garnish with sprig of oregano.

If you are teetotalers Lemon water or limewater would be a good idea. May even be nice if you are having wine. A nice white is called for personally. Look for crisp flowery flavors and avoid anything syrupy of very fruity. IF either of you really dislike whites this is one of those dishes where a paler zinfindel will work. Avoid the more potent ones-try to keep it under 15% and don't fear the tannins as they will set off the reduction and simple fare with class.

A hallow chocolate in the shape of an actual heart, filled with chery flavored goop, so it looks like blood.

Oh so very true. Men just seem incapable of grasping the basic of feminality.What? We are incapable of grasping chocolate? Nonsense.

I'll politely ignore the day, myself, since it has no real roots here in Norway. There are a few commercial campaigns that focus on trying to import it here, but not very successfully. The commecial aspect becomes to painfully obvious.

Incidentaly, I'm scheduled to give blood on that day, and that feels very martyrish. It will also be the first day in quite a while that neither my girlfriend and I will have plans, so we'll probably watch a movie or a few episodes of Firefly.

Coincidentally, she lives 180 miles away, we won't see each other until over a week later, aaand our anniversary is four days later on her first day back at 6th form.

Ah well, I can take advantage of Valentines stuff to get her anniversary present :p Yay!

[Pyrian]

It's 4am. I'm still up because I'm feeling queasy. In a few hours I'm going to ship off the product of several days work - a decorated vegan heart-shaped crisped rice/marshmallow treat. I know the girl I adore loves those. (I'm not sure she knows normal marshmallows aren't vegetarian - gelatin is made from cartileginous tissue.) It took me several tries to be sure I got the recipe right. I also suspect that she's really not into me at all. So, I don't know if this is going to go over well. I have this sense of tilting at windmills.

I don't know if I'm lovesick, sick with worry, or just have an upset tummy from sampling lots of marshmallow treats to get the recipe just so. :smallredface:

My Valentines day is going to be spent with a girl I've just started going out with.

It would have never happened either without the GITP forums. Through the forums I saw Last Resort 33 was doing a meet up, this was about 6 months ago. Through that I met certain forumites and we have since become firm real life friends. A few weeks ago they introduced me to a lovely young lady that I've taken on several dates.:smallsmile:

Say yes to invitations. Yesses open doors to more yesses.

[Trog]

Entering day 4 of the five day long Valentine's Geek Celebration at Chez Trog.

Thes has been OBSESSED with DnD prepainted minis. I mean she has a spreadsheet with all the minis, pricing, rarity, etc. She calculates the probability of getting X-number of rares in the pack, figures out the payback probability on average is for each set, tracks what she has so far, and generally drools all over them.

So naturally I have been giving her a pack a day for the past few days now. Last night's was a bit of a dud though since the rare it contained was a figure that she had said before that she hated. Tonight's should be better. :smallamused:

I told her right away that there is no way I'm going to be able to top last year's Valentine's Day. She told me if I did that again she'd be very upset at me anyways so not to worry. So this year I'll just settle for satisfying her mini lust... er... as well as the regular kind. :smallwink:

Is he a gamer? Custom-made dice would be nice. Remember, men are usually practical to the point of ridiculousness. Make it a nice, useful gift; or, a one-time consumable thing like a really nice bottle of wine, or something for you that's actually for him (i.e. get yourself some really sexy lingerie). Put the gushy stuff in the card. He'll appreciate it.

[Jack Squat]

Ok, I could use some advice with a gift for my girlfriend. I've got a couple CDs that I'm planning on giving to her for her B-Day, but I'm wondering if I should break them out early, or if there's something else, relatively inexpensive that I could get.

I don't want to get her jewelry, because our anniversary is in late March, and I feel it'd seem a bit repetetive. Driving out to the mall and getting a $50+ box of Godiva chocolate is also out of the question, as I'm currently paying for car repair (about $1600).

[Pyrian]

I'm a little bemused by people asking what to get their SO's. You know them far better than we possibly can. I figure a Valentine's present should be about 10% traditional flair and 90% target specific. :smallwink:

[Ego Slayer]

^: Heheh.

I feel bad for only posting 'bout things that have annoyed me here. :smalltongue:

(i.e. get yourself some really sexy lingerie).
Why do I find that rather demeaning? :smallsigh:

[SurlySeraph]

OK. I made up my mind about what I'm doing tomorrow. I'm getting up early.

When the Most Perfect Living Being on Earth (hereafter, "Emma") arrives at school, there will be a dozen pink roses taped to her locker. There will also be a card. I'm still debating whether to put my name on it - I think I'll just put the first letter of my first name on it, she's smart enough to know who it is.

Eh, I'll just get trashed. It's more entertaining in the short run.

It's so ironic. I love it.

Let's celebrate this instead.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Well, heading off to mooch off my girlfriend for a few days! Which means I will miss really using my valentines avatar, so I'm straight onto the GB one.

I'm lucky in the way my valentines will last till Sunday. I got her powerade, mango sorbet, a bouquet of roses equivalent to those ones that sell for $100 at the florists (working on a rose farm is useful sometimes ;) ), wrote a sonnet, drew her a "chibi" that took me 6 hours, wrote up a mock resume, 5 pages of puns, and annotated one of the songs that reminds me off her *re reads what he wrote, feels need to assert manliness*

Oh, and sexy lingerie of course *suspicious eyes*


Have fun on your Valleys folks!

[Midnight Son]

well...its just turned V day where i am so

*Hugs and kisses for everyone* - Ive never been in a place where you are all soo sweet!! some cynical but others, sooo sweet I just want to eat you all up!!!!!!!!!!!*Dunks self in a nice honey glaze*
*Waits to be eaten up*

I have an intricate plan for Valentine's Day. I will be giving my imaginary girlfriend a dozen imaginary roses; 6 red and 6 black, since I imagine she is Goth. Along with this, I will be giving her an imaginary CD from her favorite imaginary band. I imagine this will cause me some imaginary grief due to the fact that she already owns every imaginary CD from her favorite imaginary band. I am a clever bloke, however. What I did was to carefully remove the imaginary cellophane from the imaginary CD, pull out the imaginary disk and replace it with two imaginary tickets to the upcoming imaginary concert they will be putting on here soon. Then I carefully re-glued the imaginary cellophane back in place. I suspect that, when she opens it, I will be tackled and solidly kissed for a good long while. I only hope she chooses to take me and not one of her many imaginary girlfriends.

[Em Blackleaf]

I saw the cutest (in my opinion) Valentine's Day gift while I was at the grocery store. Have any of you heard of "Crush" soda? Well, it's a glass bottle of strawberry Crush brand soda with a note on it that says "I have a crush on you" with heart/"I Love You" balloon tied to it. I don't know why I love such an awful joke so much. Maybe it's the season. :smalltongue:

[evisiron]

This is the first V-day I have spent in a relationship.

So, I have for her:
-Chocolates in a heart shaped box, of which proceeds go to charity (she spends loads of time with charity stuff)
-A pretty large card, hand crafted by myself
-A cuddly turtle which we made together in a build-a-bear store

Fingers crossed that she will like the stuff!
Dinner and a movie are also planned :smallbiggrin:

[ZombieRockStar]

Okay...I guess I might show you what I did for Ego. It's a song, obviously, like last year. Only this year it's explicitly for her, instead of implicitly.

Okay, I suppose it can be a general, "hey everybody, here's a love song you can listen to" thing as well, but honestly, it was for her. I just want to know what the rest of you think.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1mdbhygbfjt

The tune is a traditional Celtic melody, usually in a Christmas song but I changed the lyrics around. But go ahead and listen to my high voice and laugh at how high and whiny it sounds. :smalltongue:

[Serpentine]

Re. Ego's avi: OOOooooh, that's what it is... I thought she was offering someone else's heart or something.

Goff and I are going to celebrate Student's Valentine's Day - that is, the day after V-day, when all the chocolate is on sale ^_^

[Brickwall]

http://www.mediafire.com/?1mdbhygbfjt

The tune is a traditional Celtic melody, usually in a Christmas song but I changed the lyrics around. But go ahead and listen to my high voice and laugh at how high and whiny it sounds. :smalltongue:

Your voice does not sound high and whiny. On the contrary, I have rarely heard a woman with so lovely a voice in that range. Zing!

Yeah, that'll be less funny on the upcoming GB week. Still, zing!

[Ego Slayer]

... I was waiting for a Brickwall comment, and BAM! there it is. :smalltongue:

*smiles sweetly to Bricky, handing him a bouquet of lit dynamite roses*

:smallamused:

[Charity]

This is the first V-day I have spent in a relationship.

So, I have for her:
-Chocolates in a heart shaped box, of which proceeds go to charity
w00t

(she spends loads of time with charity stuff)
*shifty eyes*
*whistles innocently*

Well it's the big day, love'n'hugs to you all... well the goodly majority of you all at least.

[SMEE]

She wrote me a poem! :smallbiggrin:

It's the first time in my life someone writes me a poem! I'm all mushy and happy today. :smallredface:

[Mal666]

damn, valentines and i'm single again. :'(

any females in England feel free togive me cuddles and/or fluffy things.

[CrazedGoblin]

Valentine's day is stupid. Holidays are stupid in general, but this is the stupidest. I enjoy attention from the ladies (well, some of it I could be better-off without), but I especially hate cards, roses, the colors pink and red, and I loathe candy hearts. Especially ones say intentionally misspell words to seem "cute". This concept of "Wuv" confuses and enrages me!

Valentine's day, if anything, should be about exclusively male gladitorial combat (or perhaps just competing in American Gladiators), where the victors afterward acquire a woman and mate.

That said, I have no plans for this upcoming Valentine's Day. But, I hope everyone else enjoys theirs.

says the person with Karl marx in their sig hehe, cant you just enjoy it for being another day?

[Dallas-Dakota]

I'm at school, there's a group that will distribute roses for 1.10 euro's, without telling the person who its send to who its from, just a small card people can write things on.
But my class is way to immature, nobody got a single rose yet.
But I don't want one(atleast from this school), I'm still sulking and will do that for the rest of the day(and making art stuff) and then in the evening watch horror movies on Veronica.

But yeah, thats pretty much it.
*offers hugs to dutch women who feel lonely*

*gets none*
*sulks in own corner*

[T'ze'hai]

OK, made up my mind. I think. :smallsigh:

Writing the BF a poem, to await him when he gets home from work (mental note: actually WRITE a poem and make sure I'm home earlier), surrounded by candles (or is that too much?).
Maybe think of something small to buy anyway, but I really can't think of anything.

Someone suggested dice... well, as we are both fanatic gamers, we both have (too) many dice already. (I can role attack roles for 8 monsters at the same time, and damage for at least 6, even with multiple damage dice).
Someone suggested lingerie... well, he's not into things with lace or kinky or whatever.
Getting him something for his birthday is a hell already, and just getting something sweet is even worse. :smallfrown:

[Kaelaroth]

Aware as I am that I'm kind of alone on Valentine's Day.... nevertheless:

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

[T'ze'hai]

Ow right...

Everybody, with or without a Valentine, have a nice day and a squashing hug from me! :smallbiggrin:

[I'm da Rogue!]

Someone sent me flowers.

Thanks, my secret stalker.:smallbiggrin:

(btw, people know I don't like this day so someone is prob teasing me)

[unstattedCommoner]

Someone sent me flowers.

Thanks, my secret stalker.:smallbiggrin:

(btw, people know I don't like this day so someone is prob teasing me)

Someone billed my credit card for delivery of flowers. Thank my secret defrauder. :smallcool:

(They haven't actually, I just thought I'd attempt humour.)

[Trog]

Yays! I got a Franz Ferdinand CD from my Thessie-poo. :smallsmile: <3

Only 8? I can roll attacks for up to 15 monsters at the same time and I still think I could use more dice. :smalltongue:

As for how I feel about today, meh, just another day. No better, no worse.

[T'ze'hai]

^ 15 dice.... whatever.

Anyway, wrote a poem... :smallredface:
The light you are


Even if the world’s black and gloom
Drowning in an everlasting night
Oblivious for whatever doom
My heart will still shine bright

I can only really think of you
My head is light and I dream aloud
Whatever you ever think or do
It leaves me feeling warm and proud

I can never really say it plain and bold
But I’m trying here with all my might:

Even when it’s dark and cold
You will always be my warming light

Now to find candles and....
:smalleek:
still no clou what else!

ZRS writes you a song and you just go flirting with somebody else? You have no shame.

[SpiderMew]

Well to all you lucky buggers who happen to have themselfs, someone special on this, single-awareness day, I wish this to you.

Happy Valentine's Day

Stupid freaking day, bunch of lucky bastards got themselfs someone to love... i dont have anyone anymore... stupid ex met her on this day... waste of $500.... stupid day, making me remember what its like to be loved by someone and missing it

[Hoggy]

still no clou what else!

Cook him a steak.

[T'ze'hai]

Can't do. He's doing the cooking today already. Don't want to spoil whatever surprise he has for me...

[Kaelaroth]

Can't do. He's doing the cooking today already. Don't want to spoil whatever surprise he has for me...

Do something random, yet kinky? Most guys like that.

[T'ze'hai]

Random, right. Kinky, no. He does not, I repeat not like kinky.

Thanx for all the advice. I'll let you know what happened (well, not in detail that is...:smallwink: )

[Brickwall]

Do something random, yet kinky? Most guys like that.

Yeah, pretty much anything you can imagine involving whipped cream will be appreciated. Except murder, or if he's lactose-intolerant. But anything other than that.


Random, right. Kinky, no. He does not, I repeat not like kinky.

Yeah, little secret: every guy likes kinky. Maybe he just doesn't like the kinky you're thinking of. But every guy has kinks. Dig deeper.

[The Rose Dragon]

Surely I am not going to ruin the mood when I say: "Valentine's sucks." Since you people all have the perfect relationships, crushes, friendships and everything.

And since my most famous trait is complaining, I see no reason not to on this eighteenth Valentine's spent lonely (not alone, just... lonely).

[Jack Squat]

To all of those who don't like Valentine's Day, just remember that today's the 79th anniversary of Capone taking out seven of Moran's men, barely missing killing Bugsy himself.

For the 80th, I think I might walk around in my mobster costume.

[Ego Slayer]

ZRS writes you a song and you just go flirting with somebody else? You have no shame.
Hahah... no, no I don't really have any shame at all. :smalltongue:

[ocato]

So far, on a scale of 1 to Armageddon, my bad-day stress has reached "Turn to the Dark Side." So if you see me with a red light saber, be forewarned that I'm "In a mood."

Also, I decided to make Tortellini because it's delicious and classy. I hope my lady is in a better mood than she was yesterday. I'm trying bad-hard not to neurotic out/worry that she's upset with me, because she really hasn't been showing any upsetness in my direction. Stress from everyone, maybe.

I will slay their stress with Italian food, red light sabers, and lovins.

Happy Valentine's day.

[Telonius]

So far, on a scale of 1 to Armageddon, my bad-day stress has reached "Turn to the Dark Side." So if you see me with a red light saber, be forewarned that I'm "In a mood."

Really? Seems to be a lot of that going around. My own stress level is hovering somewhere between "You don't want to see me angry" and "Take cover!"

[Sage of Laputa]

Oh man, I'm finally about to leave, but now I'm running on empty after putting it all together. Does anyone else feel this way? Oh man time to go.

P.S. not complaining, I'm rather excited. :smallbiggrin: but I feel like I've been running all day.

[SurlySeraph]

In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to put a dozen roses and a note on the locker of the person I like. It went well. It went very well. :smallbiggrin:

I got to school an hour before assembly, so the only person who saw me meeting the roses up was a (relatively trustworthy) French teacher. The roses were exactly the right size to fit on her locker - the flower heads were at eye level, the stems were at the bottom of her locker but not blocking the locker below hers, and I managed to tape the card on straight. And all without blocking the lock.

After assembly, we had a few minutes before class (we have the same first period class). I saw her heading upstairs before class, so I realized she was heading to her locker. I waited about a minute, then followed her up. She was standing there with one of her friends, looking very amazed and extremely happy. I came up towards her from the side and said "Happy Valentine's Day, Emma." She hugged me, said that the flowers were her favorite color (not a coincidence; I spent a long time looking for exactly the right shade), and told me that no one had ever given her anything for Valentine's Day before.

We had an hour and a half of calculus after that, which slightly reduced the awesomeness, but I got to see her a lot throughout the day and the other guys who seem interested in her weren't trying anything. I can't see her this weekend since she'll be out of state until Wednesday on a college visit, but...

:smallbiggrin:

Best. Valentine's Day. Ever.

[The Rose Dragon]

Really? Seems to be a lot of that going around. My own stress level is hovering somewhere between "You don't want to see me angry" and "Take cover!"

I beat all of you. I am between "become Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin combined" and "become Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin combined, but with planets instead of people".

It might just rise to "galaxies instead of people" yet. Be warned.

[Mauve Shirt]

I beat all of you. I am between "become Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin combined" and "become Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin combined, but with planets instead of people".

Oh noes! Godwin's Law!

I have absolutely nothing going on for greeting card day. I'm not in a particularly bad mood, but my friend is pissed at me for not wanting to go to Henna and Hookah night.

[Pepz]

Well everyone in the playground,

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

once again I'm single, and once again I had to stick to my own traditions :smallsmile:

So I bought all new girls in my life a rose (plastic, 39 cent a piece) for their friendship, and sent all the girls who have been important in my life an e-card (like 14 of them)

5th year in a row, and every year I manage to surprise people with my romantic nature :smallamused:


One of these years someone will do something for me...I just know it :smallwink:

love you all!

[Raistlin1040]

I don't like Valentine's day just because it's such a commercial holiday. That, and I'm single.

[EmeraldRose]

Baking cookies with my son tonight :smallbiggrin:

[Semidi]

I told my girlfriend when we got 'serious' that I'm not doing Holidays. She told me that yes, yes I was (girls are convincing, I have no idea how you all do it). I met her halfway. I recognize birthdays, Giftmas, and Halloween. Everything else can just go to hell and die.

[ZombieRockStar]

Your voice does not sound high and whiny. On the contrary, I have rarely heard a woman with so lovely a voice in that range. Zing!

Yeah, that'll be less funny on the upcoming GB week. Still, zing!

Actually, it'll be funnier, considering the person I'll be bending into had roughly the same range as me (http://youtube.com/watch?v=lkgVXunccuk). :smalltongue:

[ForzaFiori]

so...apparently Bev is taking me out to lunch and a movie sunday.

and yet she told me to not spend a lot on her and just get her something small and sentimental.

now i feel bad because she's getting me this big thing (plus several notes and cards and stuff today) and all i have for her is a small stuffed animal.

*sigh* well, I have till suday to decide if i wanna get her something to add to it.

[hyperfreak497]

Need a place to rant about not having a significant other?

*Doesn't read thread past this point*

Well, that'd be me. School today was mostly administration-allowed hallway-makeout day, which was less than pleasant, considering my ex-girlfriend got a new boyfriend recently (some frigging idiot football player. Bitter? Me?).

Oh, and I sorted these candy hearts that our homeroom teacher gave us into the ones with romantic messages and the ones with miscellaneous messages, then surreptiously put the romantic ones into the locker of some girl I kinda like. Then I played DDR and drowned my sorrows in physical activity.

[Ya Ta Hey!]

[Pwenet]

Grumpy Old Man RantingsRealizing that today, the day of love and the day that St. Valentine was beheaded for illegally marrying people, that my ex-wife is most likely doing things presently that are not suitable for public discussion or those who have no imaginations, and I am here, along, sitting at a computer typing out stuff.

Yeah - I hate today. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Call me bitter and cynical. Me and my beer shall agree with you fully.

[Brickwall]

Actually, it'll be funnier, considering the person I'll be bending into had roughly the same range as me (http://youtube.com/watch?v=lkgVXunccuk). :smalltongue:

That's so similar it's downright frightening. Seriously.

[Eksar Lindisfar]

How many of you geeks and emo whiners went with your girfriend/boyfriend to see Sweeny Todd this valentine?

My girlfriend wanted to see Sweeny Todd, so we went there

@V why? this is a forum and we're in characters...people just should feel offended because of such a comment made in a post, is a joke anyways

[SpiderMew]

Very poor choice of words there sir.
Perhaps you should alter that comment to take out the emo whiners part, i know some people who would get very defencive about that.

Sad Valentine's Day Story:

So, I was at class today and some of the girls decided that they would go about hugging everybody in the class to stay in the spirit of Valentine's Day. They then commence to hug every single person in the class except me (even the teachers!). Their reason for not hugging me: I am "too prickly and intimidating." That made me kind of sad, even though I have no romantic attachments towards the two girls. I'm not intimidating, darn it!:smallfrown:

Anyway, hope that all you lucky people in relationships had fun today.

[phoenixineohp]

*Dunks self in a nice honey glaze*
*Waits to be eaten up*

I have an intricate plan for Valentine's Day. I will be giving my imaginary girlfriend a dozen imaginary roses; 6 red and 6 black, since I imagine she is Goth. Along with this, I will be giving her an imaginary CD from her favorite imaginary band. I imagine this will cause me some imaginary grief due to the fact that she already owns every imaginary CD from her favorite imaginary band. I am a clever bloke, however. What I did was to carefully remove the imaginary cellophane from the imaginary CD, pull out the imaginary disk and replace it with two imaginary tickets to the upcoming imaginary concert they will be putting on here soon. Then I carefully re-glued the imaginary cellophane back in place. I suspect that, when she opens it, I will be tackled and solidly kissed for a good long while. I only hope she chooses to take me and not one of her many imaginary girlfriends.

O.O
You're good. Sticky and a little gooey, and I think those are ants... but good.

Be my imaginary valentine?

Ouch, nothing cuts so deep as the blade of women, attached to them or not.
Im really sorry. Why would anyone find you intimidating?

Valentine's Day spirit (while, a few days ago spirit) for all!

I got a girlfriend, and this is the first time I've gotten one without large amounts of trouble attached. Yay!

I really don't deserve her.

[Serpentine]

Rogue Monk: You know what would be really cute for you to do? Later, go up to them with your hands behind your back, scuff your foot shyly on the ground, look all cute an' embarassed, and then say "...may I please have one, too?"
I'm sure that'd do something to get rid of that "prickly and intimidating" reputation :smallbiggrin:

Well, turns out Student's Valentine's Day wasn't as studenty as hoped, but we bought ourselves two big boxes of chocolate and a bunch of lollies. I love Sticky Fingers so much! :smallbiggrin:

And I was counting on being near my sweetheart, too...

Oh, grow a skin. Still, what's wrong with Sweeney Todd anyway? Except it being dull enough for me to pass out to? I don't see anything otherwise bad about it.



Anyway, I am currently massively enjoying the 8bit CD my beloved got me today. Roll on more Valentine's I say! :smallbiggrin:

[SpiderMew]

Oh, grow a skin.


Ok 1, i have a skin. I was just trying to prevent people from being offended and starting a fight.
Perhaps you should yourself watch your comments better as to not bring about harsh reactions heading in your directions as well.

This note comes with Dire warnings for the gentlemen of the playground:


DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO THIS!

I made the mistake of not sending my fiancee flowers today, and got her a gift card for a store she doesn't usually shop in. Fortunatly, I can get a refund on the gift card, but missing a chance to give flowers is a BAD idea. Fortunatly, I can correct it by giving her flowers on her birthday. ((Ladies, do you think 2 dozen might make up for the mistake, or is that obvious damage control?))

Moral of the Story: Think before doing Valentine's Day shopping....

[Midnight Son]

O.O
You're good. Sticky and a little gooey, and I think those are ants... but good.

Be my imaginary valentine?I will happily be your sticky, gooey imaginary valentine.

How long a gap between V-Day and B-Day?

2 dozen generic may be obvious damage control if not done with pizzaz. Perhaps 12 together and twelve loose ones scattered about your bedroom?
one dozen of a known favorite works too.

[ocato]

My Valentines day went well. She was all grumps and I was all glomps so she was all swoons and then I was all cooks and she was all happy and I was all happy and then we were both all sleeps.

It was a long day.

Had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner with Thes at a local 4-star restaurant. Very nice. Best tenderloin (and company) I've ever had. :smallsmile: <3

AWWWWWW! *pounce* and *ker-snuggle*

We went to this tiny bistro that one of his best friends used to work at. The food was top notch, which is really important to be being a foodie and all.

It's one of the things I miss about Ann Arbor, it seems like it was easier for me to get foody type food in Ann Arbor than here. Maybe I just don't know where to look.

But anyways, my tender baby cow was just perfect, along with my multi-chocolate dessert thingy.

And the company was beyond awesome.



and.... I got a black dragon. hee he heee heee heeeeeeee!

[Felixaar]

How long a gap between V-Day and B-Day?

Dude, I thought we were back in WWII there for a moment.

Well, contrary to my originga; "three years without a valentine, celebration!" plan, I ended up actually getting a Valentine :smalleek: This meant no pranks, no jokes, no nothing. Life is cruel. Which is my way of saying "I'm just kidding, I love her." 'Twas fun though, long distance and all we bought ourselves presents and told people they were from eachother, and got to lord it over valentineless-losers (im just kidding).

Also Midnight Son, im stealing your plan, k? I just have to find a girlfriend (imaginary or no) who listens to bearable music.

[Midnight Son]

Also Midnight Son, im stealing your plan, k? I just have to find a girlfriend (imaginary or no) who listens to bearable music.If you love her, the music she listens to will be bearable(if not enjoyable). The amount of time one spends doing things their significant other enjoys has a direct correlation to the amount of time one gets to spend with said person.(logical eh?) The positive to it is that they will probably want to spend time doing things you enjoy as well.

Example: I will go shopping with her, if that's what she enjoys. I will even carry her bags and such. The payback?..I get to see her modeling all sorts of outfits(and if I'm very lucky, some of them will be at Victoria's Secret).

[wadledo]

Well, now that I finally get around to posting:

I only got one that wasn't "you just got a valentine from me so you have give one back", from the greatest girl (we play magic every Saturday, she's shyer than me, her mother is a tyrannical ***** [Life can't be perfect]) I know.
It was a single rose, and after she gave it to me and scampered away, all our friends did the classic "raise eyebrows and look to one another knowingly".
It didn't amount to much, but it was nice.:smallsmile:

[Aramil Liadon]

Awww, that's nice. I just wish I wasn't always the one with the raised eyebrows.
Not that it isn't fun, mind you. Sneaking around, sorting through the recycling for notes... It's like Splinter Cell: Highschool Infiltration.
